NICK'S JOURNEY - Introducing the Donatelli Series An abused and neglected boy of twelve, Nick Donatelli runs away from New York City and his alcoholic mother. He makes his way across the country to L.A. and finds a loving home with his aunt and cousins. But their neighborhood streets are controlled by a gang, and Aunt Sophia won't have those monsters picking on her kids.
A bonus short story, The Frogtown Flasher, is included.
Newlywed Cara Andrews overhears her husband talking to his “honey” about locking Cara in an institution so he can steal her inheritance. Frightened of the man she thought she loved, Cara sneaks away from their home in Seattle and rents a run-down cabin in Gig Harbor. She intends to hide out there until she can end her marriage.
When the cabin collapses in an earthquake, a neighbor, Nick Donatelli, risks his life to rescue Cara. The roads are damaged, power and phones are out. They’re trapped in Nick’s cabin on the shores of Puget Sound until the paramedics come by boat to take her to the hospital. She’s afraid to go alone, afraid someone will recognize her and her husband will find her, so she claims she’s Nick’s wife, Maxine Donatelli.
Nick is warm and friendly, and she enjoys his company. But Cara is a one of the wealthiest women in the world, and Nick is a man who works with his hands. When he learns who she is, he’s uncomfortable with her wealth. She knows she has to leave before her husband tracks her down, before he hurts Nick. She’s falling in love, but her husband is a ruthless man who’ll do anything to get his hands on her estate. Including murder.
