SUZY SHEARER (Cont.)
ELEPHANTS AND EVER-AFTERS
BLURB EXCERPT
It’s like a clash of wills when Tobias Duncan, fifty-
seven, meets Laura Keell, fifty-five; but neither can forget
the impact each had on the other. To Laura, Tobias is
just like a charging bull elephant, but he still presses every
button. For Tobias, Laura is everything he’s ever
dreamed of.
Both try to forget the other, but when a chance
meeting with a friend of Tobias’ means he can see Laura
again, he jumps at the chance.
But there is a problem that neither shares. Tobias
wants a woman who dictates the terms during sex. And
Laura? Laura loves to be in charge. They drop hints over
a few weeks until a rather interesting event sees Laura
confess. Their romance goes from casual to sizzling al-
most overnight. Nothing can come between them as their
love grows—that is until tragedy strikes.
Will death separate these soulmates? Laura reread the letter for what had to be the fiftieth
time, and she still had trouble understanding it. She’d al-
ways believed her father had died just before her birth, yet
this letter from a solicitor in Sydney told her different. It
said she was the sole beneficiary to her late father’s estate,
and that he had died just three weeks ago. It just made no
sense.
Whenever she’d asked about her father while growing
up, her mother would only say he had died before she was
born. Then her mother, Judy, had died less than twelve
months ago, when Laura was fifty-four…
…Among the other papers she found her own birth
certificate. Digging deeper into the box of papers, she
discovered her adoption certificate.
Why had her adopted mother never told her? Was her
life just some web of lies? Was that the reason for her
mother’s coldness?
***** from SiKReviews on Goodreads: “After
having one of the [cutest meetings] ever, Tobias and
Laura have an emotional, passionate love affair that
leaves you truly satisfied…” https://
