After the Storm

When I agreed to my wife's request for an open marriage, I didn't anticipate she'd fall in love with another man and leave me. Alone now and drowning in self-destruction, I cling to memories of a trip to New Orleans nine months ago-the night I wandered into a movie theater called Paradise and spent an evening talking with the beautiful owner, Violet Devollier. Our connection was brief but intense. It was a connection so intense that when Hurricane Katrina devastates New Orleans, I'll stop at nothing to return to Paradise and find Violet. But what good is a broken man in a broken city? To have any chance of a future with Violet, I'll have to find the courage to piece myself back together as we rebuild Paradise after the storm. Book three of the award-winning Lost in Austin series, After the Storm, is a slow burn interracial romance which can be read as a standalone. It was the 2023 winner of the Readers' Favorite Honorable Mention for Romance - Sizzle.
