Life was perfect.
Lila Carls-Ellis had a perfect life, an amazing husband, beautiful twin girls, and a job she had always dreamed of. But, in the back of her mind, there was still that one person from college that she thought about, the only other man she ever loved.
While flying to New York for a friend’s wedding, she was trying her best not to run into her old flame. But low and behold, the one person she was trying to avoid coincidently was the first face she saw once landing in New York. Seeing Evan brought back so many memories, and seeing him with his ex-girlfriend, made her need his attention even more. After much thought, she decided to visit him. Just a friendly visit turned into dinner, drinks, and a night of passion that she had yearned for since leaving him four years ago.
Liam Ellis loved his family more than anything and would protect them no matter the cost. He knew his wife had a secret, but he wanted her to tell him when she was ready. No matter what may or may not have happened, he was devoted to standing by her side. All while wondering in the back of his mind what forced her to make that decision that could possibly destroy their future.
There was so much she needed and wanted to tell her husband, but getting the courage to do so was the hardest part. Will this change everything for Lila and her husband Liam? And what part does Evan play in all of this? No one knew that one night could change the course of everything.
Until that one night changes everything.

AUTHOR BIO
My name is Delisa Lynn, I grew up in Columbus Ohio. I’m currently residing in Western New York, where I work as a Medical Assistant. I love music, all generations, I do have a soft spot for country and 80’s hair bands. My favorite season is fall, I love the weather that time of the year, watching the leaves change and most of all being able to watch football. Go Bucks!! I am also a 49ers fan and New York Yankees fan. My favorite color is pink, not baby pink hot pink. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, we’ve been together going on nineteen years, sometimes I can’t stand him but I wouldn’t trade him for the world. I love you Jay. Our baby is a five year old spoiled Yorki named Sophie and yes she thinks she is human.
I’ve always had a passion for reading and writing. I have very vivid imagination and have always felt I should express it in writing. But I took a different career path, I worked in retail photography for sixteen years. Then I chose to work in the medical field. Last year, I decided I was going to follow my dream and write a novel. I never imagined it would turn into a series with eight books. I’m so glad it did, because I love it. When I’m not writing you can find me snuggled with my hubby watching a movie, or cuddled in the corner of the couch with my fur baby reading.
I hope you all enjoy reading my books as much as I did writing them.
