“Hey, there’s someone I want you to meet,” she said, nodding towards the blond-haired man who stood in the doorway, holding the hands of her two other daughters. “And two girls who I think just spotted you.”
In a whirl of shrieks and hugs, Kathy and Karlee saw Rob. They came running over at a gallop to him. He caught them and warmly hugged them. Rebecca thought her heart would burst.
“Rob,” Karlee said, taking his face in her hands. “You missed everything. You have a lot to make up for.”
There was no more Wob. But Karlee still said every inappropriate thing she could think of. She bit her lip before asking, “Wanna come meet my daddy?”
Rob nodded, taking a long look at her. “I will. But first, how are you, Kathy? You look like you’ve grown two inches,” he said, hugging Rebecca’s shy, self-conscious middle daughter. Rob first got a small smile from Kathy, then she suddenly threw her arms around his middle.
When she let go, Kathy took his hand. Rob looked up and Rebecca smiled as she nodded towards her ex-husband. “And this is Doug. Doug, this is Rob.”
The two men shook hands and said hello. There were no fireworks, or anger, or snide comments. It was just a quiet introduction and reacquaintanceship with little girls who babbled away excitedly.
Doug finally gathered Karlee in his arms. “So I’ll drop them all by about noon tomorrow?”
“Sure. We’ll see you then.” Rebecca kissed each of her daughters goodnight; and they all smiled and kissed her, as well as Rob, before they turned and left with Doug.
Rob watched Rebecca. His eyes were riveted on her.
“So you ready to take me home yet?”
She lifted her eyes and met his as she thought her heart might explode in her chest. “I’ve been ready to take you home for years.”

My Other Titles:
The Zenith Trilogy
Zenith Falling (Zenith Trilogy, #1) Kindle Buy Link
The Zenith Trilogy: the fall, rise and ultimate success of the rock band, Zenith.
Along the way, lives are destroyed by addiction, betrayal and rejection. Redemption and love are both lost and found, as the destiny of this band rules the lives of those who most believe in it…
Joelle married Rob Williams, lead singer of the rock band, Zenith, before she was old enough to know better. She spent years following Zenith, while they struggled to become rock stars. Now, however, alcoholism has replaced the talent that once would have made Rob a legend… rendering Joelle’s life into a downward spiral, completely out of her control. The problem is: not a soul in the world even cares, including her husband.
Nick Lassiter is a powerful business magnate in Seattle, Washington who was acquainted with Joelle long ago, and before she became Joelle Williams. Nick’s reunion with Joelle gives her a link to a world outside of Zenith. That world soon starts to become far more appealing than the crazy, alcohol-soaked one she abides in. One fateful night, her entire life implodes and Nick is the only person she can run to. Joelle soon realizes one thing clearly: Nick Lassiter has become a lot more than just a friend who can save her.
When Zenith disbands and Rob tries to get sober, Joelle reclaims her own identity, one which has nothing to do with Zenith. The person she becomes is nothing like the young, fragile girl who needed rescuing when Nick first met her. She discovers someone who just might be a woman worth loving.

Erica turns to Spencer for protection, but their relationship soon develops into something that neither of them is prepared for. Erica knows that in order to keep Spencer from destroying what they have built together, she has to overcome the devastating past he insists on hiding. But none of it will matter if Erica fails to survive what soon becomes a deadly game designed to ruin her.
