Hold On To Me
By Elisabeth Naughton
Book Blurb:
He thinks he’s finally found the one.
Mitch Mathews never believed in love—at least not the happily
ever after kind. Then he met Simone Conners. Just one night with the sexy
lawyer made him reevaluate his priorities and look toward a future he never
planned. The only hang up is making her see it too.
She’s almost ready for a second chance.
What started out as a casual hookup with a rugged geologist has
turned into something a whole lot more. Simone’s on the verge of handing over
her heart, but fear over what Mitch will say and do when he learns who she used
to be holds her back.
The past could destroy their future...
Just when Simone is about to take a chance on forever with
Mitch, the mistakes of her past catch up with her. Suddenly it’s not just her
safety on the line anymore, it’s his too. Forced into hiding, Mitch demands
answers, and Simone realizes the only way to protect everything she holds dear
is to delve into a past she’s spent fourteen years trying to forget. As they
search for the truth, they discover secrets, lies and a rekindled passion that
burns hotter than before. But they also uncover a conspiracy that threatens the
very fabric of society. One that could cost them more than just their future…it
could cost them their lives.
Author’s Bio:
I was never one of those people who knew they
wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary friends. I
didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my relatives by firelight after
Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, I was just a normal, everyday kid. I
liked to read, but I wasn’t exceptional at it. And when my teachers
complimented me on my writing abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however,
always have a penchant for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all
throughout my childhood, I should have been
an actress—I was a drama queen
before my time.
Years ago, my husband bought me Scarlett: The Sequel to Gone With The Wind. If you
ever saw the book, you know it’s a long one. I sat and read that thing from
cover to cover, and dreamed of one day being a writer. But I didn’t actually
try my hand at writing until years later when I quit my teaching job to stay
home with my kids. And my husband? After that week of reading where I neglected
him and everything else until I finished Scarlett,
he vowed never to buy me another book again. Little did he know I’d one day end
up sitting at a keyboard all day drafting my own stories.
My writing journey has not been easy. I didn’t
just sit down one day, decide I was going to write a book and voila! sell my very first attempt. As most
authors will probably agree, the path to publication is filled with hours of
work, pulling all-nighters I thought I’d given up in college, sacrifices,
rejections, but a love I discovered along the way I just can’t live without.
Instead of a big, thick book to read by lamplight (I do read much smaller ones
when I get the chance), I’ve traded in my reading obsession for a laptop. And
I’ve never been happier.
I’m one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family
and fabulous husband who put up with my writing—and obsessive personality—even
when life is chaotic. More than once my kids have been late to swimming or
baseball because I needed just five more minutes to finish a scene. Their
support and encouragement mean the world to me. I also have amazing friends and
a support network I couldn’t survive without. So to all of you out there who
have encouraged me along the way, sent me emails and fan letters, phone calls
and congratulations, I just want to say, thank you. You make this whole writing
gig that much more enjoyable. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.
