Faded
Memories
By A.M. Willard
Genre: Contemporary Inspirational Romance
Synopsis
Isabel Nichols’s life changed in more ways than one through the years. As a young child, she experienced a loss that devastated her. It wasn’t until she was an adult that the universe around her shattered. In a twenty-four-hour time frame, she lost what she’d thought was her world. What followed was a year of mourning, a year of grieving, a year of darkness. Now, there’s one man who can show her the light.
Dakota Jackson left his life behind on a whim, moving to a beach cottage away from the big city where he grew up. He sees through Izzie’s clouds as he gets to know her, with the drive to be everything that she’s ever needed. The only problem is, Dakota holds the key to a secret that could ruin both of their hopes and dreams.
Passion isn’t always enough to heal a broken heart; love isn’t always enough to guide you through the darkness.
This is about two souls that were meant to be together from the day they were born. Two people who have to figure out a way to look past the memories. It’s the now; it’s living your life as you’re meant to, loving the one your heart craves. It’s about letting go of the grieving, learning to be who you are, and accepting life for what it is.
Can love cure all things despite its hardships?

Excerpt
The glass shatters around my feet and a few
pieces actually cut my skin.
“Shit. Shit. Shit!” I yell.
“Don’t move; you’ll cut yourself even more.”
In a flash, I’m lifted from the floor and placed
onto the counter. Dakota raised me like it was nothing, and is now looking
around for the broom and dustpan.
“Pantry,” I say and point to the door.
“I’m sorry for startling you; I didn’t mean to
scare you. Are you always this jumpy?” he asks as he stops what he’s doing to
glance at me.
“Yes, when I have a strange man in my kitchen
that I don’t know is behind me, I tend to be a little jumpy,” I say with a hint
of sarcasm.
“I’m not a stranger, you know. Just a guy that
moved in next door and is trying to get to know the neighbor.”
“Are you done yet? I’ve got work to do.”
“Almost, but you need to let me clean the cuts
on your foot first, then you can go back to work.”
“I’ll clean them. I don’t need anyone to take
care of me. Got it?”
“Oh, I’m sure you can take care of yourself, but
I think you should let me take care of you. You know, it’s not a bad thing to
let people in.”
God, that smirk he always gives me … it’s about
to drive me nuts. Jumping down from the counter, I decide to do this myself.
This is a conversation that needs to be avoided. In the bathroom, I lock the
door behind me and locate the peroxide and a bandage. I hike my foot up on the
side of the tub and dab the cotton ball onto the small cut. My breath hitches
from the sting. Satisfied that they’re clean enough, everything goes back up and
I head back out.
