Either way, my favorite scene from Showdown (and probably the entire series) is at the hospital after Rebecca’s accident, when she kisses Tommy goodbye. It’s so tragic and so heartwarming at the same time. We can only imagine how much that simple gesture meant to Tommy after everything he’d just endured. I also love the scene in the epilogue when Rebecca sees him years later with his wife and daughter.
I cried as I wrote each of those scenes, and no matter how many times I read them, I still get choked up. I definitely put Tommy through the emotional wringer in this book, but I’d like to think that I made it up to him in the end. It also makes me glad to know that he and Rebecca are finally able to reestablish their friendship.
There is something deeply touching about the friendships and relationships in this series, something that will stick with me long after I’ve moved on to other stories and other sets of characters.
About the Author
Writing has always been my passion. I was hooked from the time I won the third-grade writing contest for my story about Nita, a very sophisticated and well-traveled peacock. By high school, my stories had developed into murder mysteries starring my (mostly!) understanding classmates. These days, my writing focuses on relationships and explores the endless intricacies of family, loyalty, and love.
I was born and raised in the tropical sprawl of south Florida, surrounded by beaches, horses, and lots of sunshine. Before becoming a full-time writer, I worked as a bartender and a massage therapist. In recent years, my wanderlust has taken me all over the world, and I've traveled extensively throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. When I'm not busy writing, I spend my time horseback riding, hanging out with my husband, or planning our next voyage abroad.

From the outside looking in, Chris and Jasmine Navarro appear to have it all. As a commercial pilot for a major airline, Chris gets paid to travel the world. Once a principal dancer for the New York City Ballet, Jasmine now teaches at the most prestigious dance academy in Los Angeles. They have a house in the suburbs, jobs they love, and a wonderful circle of friends.
But behind closed doors, a long struggle has slowly sapped the joy from their marriage. Jasmine has tried for years–without success–to become pregnant. When they finally seek help from a fertility clinic, they receive a devastating diagnosis:
Chris can’t have children. Ever.
Down the street, Kyle Parrish is enjoying his own version of the American dream. As a successful model and actor, his world revolves around extreme sports, fast cars, and faster women. The only person he truly cares about–the only real friend he has–is Chris. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for him. So when Chris comes to him with a very unusual
request, Kyle doesn’t hesitate to say yes.
But his seemingly simple solution is anything but for Jasmine and Kyle, who share a complicated history of their own…including a secret Chris knows nothing about.
