A Year of Firsts, Second Chances Book 1, a contemporary romance by Liz Flaherty

        One year after the tragic death of her beloved husband, Sydney Cavanaugh begins her “year of firsts” with a road trip she promised him she would make. On her way to Gettysburg, an unplanned detour lands her in Fallen Soldier, Pennsylvania, where she meets television journalist Clay McAlister.

While neither is interested in a romantic relationship, their serious case of being “in like” seems to push them that way. However, Clay’s heart condition makes no promises for a secure future. Syd’s already lost one man she loved to a devastating illness—she isn’t about to lose another.

 

Excerpt:

If I fall in love again, this will be how it happens.

The thought came from nowhere she could identify, although she knew deep in her soul that it had to do with the tall man in shorts and a polo shirt walking up the incline of her yard to meet her. The man whose heart would likely not last as long as her own, whose every wince made her fear he was having a heart attack. His attitude toward exercise and diet was that of the middle-aged man in perfect health he appeared to be, not one who had a zipper-like scar up the center of his chest.

But just the sight of him, with his light brown hair that needed cutting blowing into his eyes even though his graying beard was as always short and neat, made her heart beat harder and faster. She smiled, remembering his explanation of why he had a beard.

At first, he’d said it was because he had a weak chin, he didn’t want anyone to notice, but then he’d admitted it had been an ongoing struggle between him and a producer of his show. “He was pushy, and I was usually compliant. It was a great gig, and I knew it. But it got to where he wanted to…create the brand he wanted me to be, I guess. I mostly went along because he was a pretty smart guy who knew his stuff, but when I came back from vacation with a beard and he gave the order to have it gone before I went on the air, it became the proverbial last straw.”

About our Focus Author:

Liz Flaherty is rather bewildered by where she’s at in life. She doesn’t feel…er…elderly, but the truth is that she is. The Magnificent Seven grands have grown up on her, her own kids are all now older than she is, and her husband Duane has the same firm hold on her heart he’s always had. And it’s all good.
