Cover and Release Date for Worth the Wait!

 I have a shiny new pretty cover for Becky and Chip's book, 'Worth the Wait' AND a RELEASE DATE: August 30, 2023!

This is a story very close to my heart, with a Hero who finally opened up and dictated his story so I could write it. Chip is a lifelong EMT, and used to be the one who fixes everything. Good old dependable Chip. He's been in love with his best friend Becky since the day they met in kindergarten but waited too long to make his feelings known and she moved on. He's dedicated to saving lives but is beginning to realize the toll the career of his heart is taking on his life.  Can Becky help him?

Trigger Warnings for this book include living with PTSD, discussions of mass shootings, medical scenes, and the death of a child.

Here's the gorgeous cover, which captures Chip & Becky perfectly:

He’s loved her their entire lives, even when she married another man. Now she’s the only one who can help him find his way back to the light again. . .

Charles ‘Chip’ Bell has been in love with Becky Grey since he sat next to her in kindergarten. He’s become the ‘fixer’ of the small town of Abbeville, the Head EMT who strives to make everyone better. Now, after almost fifty years, Becky finally seems to see him as more than a friend and has agreed to their first real date. But Chip has been battling against a darkness that is steadily threatening everything and everyone he loves most: his career, the people of his town, and most of all, Becky.

Becky has become accustomed to being independent and living alone since her husband died and her son left Abbeville to pursue a career as a musician. She’s built the small family bakery into a thriving coffee, ice cream, baked goods, and more business with her two partners. Chip has always been her best friend and, besides God, the only other unfailing constant in her life who pulled her back into active living after an unspeakable tragedy spiraled her deep into depression.

Yet it’s Chip who needs her most now when unimagined violence strikes their close-knit community and severely tests everyone’s trust and faith. When Chip breaks, and shows Becky just how close to the edge he is, she must fight not solely to help him and everyone in their town, but to give them a love Worth the Wait.
