And then his past showed up on his doorstep, threatening to take it all away.
Now forced to relive painful memories and bring dark secrets to light, Cole begins a downward spiral that leads him back to the place he spent years trying to escape. As the pain of his past collides with the present, he finds himself lost again, fighting for his family's future. How can he find the way back in time for his forever to be saved?

EXCERPT
Footsteps approach. I feel a light touch, and then hands gently finding their way around my waist. Camryn lays her head on my shoulder and squeezes. Gavin stands up next to me on the other side of the bench and links his arms around my neck.
“Daddy, are you mad at me?” he asks.
I lift my head, pull Gavin onto my lap, and tilt his chin toward my face. “You listen now. I could never be mad at you for talking about the baby. You will be the best big brother anyone could ask for. So, you talk about the baby all you want.” I lift my thumb. “Thumbs-up to the best big brother in the world.”
He touches his thumb to mine. “Thumbs-up to the best daddy in the world.”
As the pain melts away, Camryn squeezes my waist and kisses my shoulder. “Are you ready to go, best-daddy-in-the-world?”
I gently kiss her lips and assure her, “With you, I’m ready for anything.” The meaning of my words run deeper than the family dinner awaiting us at home.
She stands up from the bench and turns toward me. “Let’s start small then.” She reaches her hand out. “One step toward home?”
The distant roar of the waves slamming the shore, and the strength in Camryn’s simple words, fortify my resolve. I reach out to my wife, my lifeline, and grasp her hand, knowing she is the only one who possesses the power to save me.

INTERVIEW:
GIVEAWAY:
When did you decide to become an author?
I always revert back to 3rd grade as to when I became an author. My children's book got chosen for "publication" in my school library. But really, I ventured into writing in 2015 and my debut novel was published in 2018.
What is the title of your first book - published or unpublished?
My first published book is called Lost Until You. It's the first book in this Finding You Series.
Who inspires you the most?
I most inspired by my two daughters. They are both focused on something they love in life and attacks that love with such grace and dedication. I'd like to say they got that from me, but really they are on their own journeys. That youthful sense really inspires me in my teaching and writing career.
Who is your favorite author?
I love so many books so it is so difficult to choose one author. In the Romance genre, I love Colleen Hoover and AL Jackson. But I'm also in YA and I love Suzanne Collins and the Hunger Games Series.
