Award-winning author Shannon Hrimnak unveils her latest literary masterpiece.
A decade ago, they bade farewell with a heartfelt vow to reunite within a year, but fate had other plans. Could a homecoming trip rekindle the possibilities that once seemed destined?
When Mike Crenshaw’s family relocated to the United States, he made a solemn pledge to Felicia, the woman who had stolen his heart, promising to return for her. The years rolled on, and that promise remained unfulfilled. In Mike’s heart, Felicia forever held the title of “the one who got away.”
Now, as a dedicated firefighter serving the Tempe, Arizona community, Mike receives word of his mother’s ailing health and embarks on a journey back to New Zealand to care for her. In an unexpected twist of fate, he crosses paths with Felicia, discovering that his yearning for her remains as potent as ever. However, he soon learns she’s married with a child, a reality that should urge him to keep his distance. Yet, the magnetic attraction between them proves irresistible. Meanwhile, Felicia harbors hidden secrets, trapped in a perilous situation at the mercy of a man who holds her life in his hands.
Can this duo set aside their past long enough to liberate Felicia from the clutches of her tormentor? Or will the sinister plots of her husband forever alter the course of their lives?

About The Author
Spring 2023- TheBest Book Award® – Mystery -Cozy Romance- Suspense Winner!
Born in Germany and raised in El Paso, Texas, Shannon Hrimnak moved to Phoenix after her first five years of marriage and loves the life she has established in the Valley of the Sun. She has been married to her amazingly encouraging husband for thirty-plus years and has raised two children and several four-legged fur babies. Her first grand-baby, born in July of 2022, is about the one thing she will drop anything for. New to empty nesting, her home is quiet but filled with her two loyal dogs left behind when the kids moved out. Now a new journey begins.
Her love of stories began in her forties when her mother suggested she read an eight-hundred-page book. Prior, she was an avid self-help reader. Never starting small, she picked up the book and couldn’t put it down. Like most women, her obligations are stacked from dust to dawn. Reading about love and romance became an escape from real-life commitments in her busy life. That began a new journey, and it was the influence of many authors that awakened the path to finding her own stories.
She is an up-and-coming author of contemporary romance novels with a hint of suspense. She works alongside her husband in real estate and is learning to navigate the ways around a life of being an empty nester.
When she isn’t working with her husband in the business, she spends her free time reading, painting, and living it up without kids at home, enjoying those Sunday night dance parties in the living room with just her and her husband.
She looks forward to the next phase in life with their first grandchild, and she hopes to give back to others what she receives when she picks up a book and smells the pages or turns on her kindle. She recognizes that each person lives their life full-out, and sometimes just picking up a glass of wine or whatever your drink of choice is and opening up your next favorite book is the best escape to unwind and find that special place where the mind can wander and dreams can begin.
