Description:

Only when you let go can you learn to live.

Between the death of her mother and pushing through law school without her best friend, it's been a tough year for Becca. Needing a break from Boston, she moves to a tiny coastal North Carolina town for a relaxing summer. After bumping heads repeatedly with a local cop, she realizes her summer will be anything but quiet.

Three years after a career ending injury ruins his chance to play Major League Baseball, Gavin has a distrust of northerners and lately girls in general. He wants nothing to do with a girl who is only in town for the summer.

When the two give in to their impossible attraction, they realize that they may just have found the key to freeing themselves from the ghosts of their pasts.

In Veer, the second novel in a new adult contemporary romance series, Becca's life is in ruins after the death of her mother and barely making it through law school. Needing someplace to go to clear her head and take a break, Becca goes to a small town in North Carolina. While there, Becca finds herself repeatedly butting heads with a local cop named Gavin. Despite both their efforts, the attraction between them is impossible to ignore and may be just the thing they both need.

This novel is a realistic look into the heart and mind of a twenty-something woman who has lost everything dear to her, as well as her way in life. Although the story is filled with pain and loneliness, which the author portrays in such a detailed way that the reader feels Becca's every emotion along with her, the rays of hope also fill its pages. It's a story of finding oneself and beginning a new future - which is something that all readers can easily identify with. The novel is very well written and easily captivates the heart and mind of the reader from the very beginning. The characters are all very real and written in a way that makes you feel like you've known them forever. Although I normally don't like contemporary romances, the author did such a wonderful job with the engaging plot, underlying themes, and beautiful writing that I was won over early on. This is a fantastic second novel in a really great new contemporary series from a very talented writer and one that I highly recommend.
