Book Description by Author:

To the entire world Rick has it all, rock stardom, fame, fortune… but inside he is burning out.

On the edge of depression and a breakdown he takes to an isolated shoreside hideaway and crawls into a bottle.

But he not alone.

Gemma is in the apartment below, a lonesome, solitary figure, who is always in tears.

Inevitably their paths cross, each time getting a little closer, until one day they break the unseen barrier and speak.

Can Rick comfort Gemma as she comes to terms with her past? In return can she help Rick face his own demons?

Past and future collide in this romantic story of heartache, passions and possible futures.

About the Author:

Karen is a multi-genre author and says she is working her way through as many different types as she can. "I've written two romantic/suspense novels and my last book was a thriller, but it is in my short story collections that I'm able to play with the different genres."

However, as an avid reader, she admits to not being as adventurous. I prefer my stories to have a little romance in them, but then romance on its own is not enough. "Throw in some crime, thriller or something interesting into the plot, I will jump on it!"

Besides reading and writing, Karen is an avid book blogger. She reviews every book she reads, both on her website as well as Goodreads and Amazon and you will often find her browsing the shelves of Goodreads to see what other people are reading and doing.

Apart from books, she loves cross stitching and the fact she is 'retired' now and can do whatever she wants!

Karen lives on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey off the North Wales coast. She makes time to walk every day enjoying both the countryside and the ocean.
