My stories took me to another place, a place I loved. More importantly, I was hooked on writing. I was anyone I wanted to be as long as there was a twisted tale involved. Over the years, I’ve been an ex-call girl, a secret novelist, a wayward wife, a man who spent fifteen years in prison, a blind psychologist, and a psychic. I had an idea, knew the characters, but I didn’t have a clue where I was going, or maybe I should say where the characters were taking me. Years later, no, decades later, when I needed a diversion because real life became too heavy, I sat down at my computer and started typing out a story. That led me to art school and a career as an illustrator. Wherever there was a piece of paper and pencil, I drew something. Most of the writers in the groups to which I belong claim to have written stories since they were kids. Then I thought longer and harder about what “made it” meant. When Jenny asked me to write a blog post titled My Made-it Moment, I thought, made it? But I haven’t made it. I’d missed it, but Polly knows what the boat is, and boy, is she sailing it.
And I realized that I’d completely missed the boat. While Luke puts his life at risk to find her, Abby discovers the ghosts of her past are back to haunt her, and the man she once loved was as much of a victim as she.I spotted at least a half-dozen Made It Moments as I read Polly Iyer’s piece–see if you can spot them all And then I came to the Moment Polly cites out of them all. Unable to deny their physical attraction, Abby and Luke tiptoe around their personal baggage and enter into a delicate relationship.Then Abby is kidnapped. But when break-ins and threatening computer messages escalate into a physical attack on Abby and her guide dog, Luke walks a fine line between cop, protector, and lover.
Initially reluctant to Abby's therapy, Luke's barriers tumble because Abby sees deeper into him than anyone ever cared to.Though Luke's lip reading is excellent, he refuses to "listen" to Abby's warning that his romantic overture jeopardizes her professional ethics.
Luke is fighting hard to stay on the force, but computer work and fingerprint analysis are not what he has in mind. The last thing she needs is another man in her life.Enter Detective Luke McCallister, a cop forced into counseling a year after a gun blast during a meth lab take-down robbed him of his hearing. Now she "reads" audio books, runs with a guide at a local track, and has a thriving practice that specializes in treating the newly disabled. Psychologist Abigael Gallant fought her way back from her ex-husband's brutal attack that killed their daughter and left her blind.
