And an Instagram post to start it all. When tragedy hits far too close to home for screenwriter Noëlle Emerson, she heads for the highest hills; 3,000 miles from the comfort of her quaint Virginia town. After eight years, nostalgia grips her heartstrings, and the tunnel vision success strategy she’s maintained is subverted. Her emotions spiral out of her control as she grapples with the thought of finally venturing home for the holidays. With three new Grammys making themselves at home on his mantle, crooner, and proverbial heart-throb, Ezra Graham wants nothing more than to cap off his year with the ones he loves most. With his on-again/off-again girlfriend in tow, he returns to the place where it all began. NOTE: This is a novelette. less

"Should old acquaintances be forgotten and never brought to mind?" "I say, h*ll no!" Noëlle and Ezra are back in this highly anticipated sequel to their heart-warming reunion. When Christmas comes to an end, the newly reunited lovers are back in the City of Angels. It's easy being in love when no one's watching, but the lurking paparazzi make it nearly impossible. But Ezra is not ready to bow down to the sleazy cameramen just yet.

Say you'll never let me go. Say it's just us. Us always. Us forever. Ezra thought he wanted the truth. He thought he was prepared for whatever Noëlle was holding back. She'd bore the deepest parts of her soul to him and his promise to forgive fizzled out every time he laid eyes on his son. All the olive branches that the holidays bring have since died, and he's not as supportive as he'd pledged... moreSay you'll never let me go. Say it's just us. Us always. Us forever. Ezra thought he wanted the truth. He thought he was prepared for whatever Noëlle was holding back. She'd bore the deepest parts of her soul to him and his promise to forgive fizzled out every time he laid eyes on his son. All the olive branches that the holidays bring have since died, and he's not as supportive as he'd pledged. When the cards are all on the table, he's faced with whether to fold or bet it all on the girl of his dreams. The truth shall set you free had never been more of a lie than it had been for Noëlle when she bore her soul to the one she loved. He'd promised her that they'd be as they always were. A man and woman connected by a love so unearthed that the world could only give it one classification, a phenomenon. She learns that some truths are prisons in disguise, a proverbial honey trap, dangling sunshine and blue skies, only to lock her away in a cell of regret and shame. The world is overflowing with the one thing that covers a multitude of sin, love. But Noëlle and Ezra are in a cold war with no waving the white flag in sight. less

Run,as fast and as far,to the edge of yourself. Love will meet you at the end.
