Feel like taking a chance on a new author, sounds like contemporary romance? I read about this one at Aestas and couldn't resist for [limited time] $1.
53 Letters For My Lover by Leylah Attar
I did preview it, the writing seems good, but I've a feeling there may be infidelity if that bothers you, not sure though. I couldn't pass it up, you know my penchant for unique storylines.
blurb: This is not your typical love story. It’s not so black and white. Lines are crossed. Walls are smashed. Good becomes bad. Bad becomes very, very good.
Shayda Hijazi - a young Iranian-Canadian wife and mother, is locked in a marriage that was not of her choosing. For thirty-three years, she has played by the rules, swallowing secrets, burying dreams and doing whatever it takes to anchor her family. Shayda Hijazi is about to come face to face with the one threat that can rip it all apart, the one thing her heart has always been denied: love.
Troy Heathgate - untamed, exhilarating, dangerous; a man who does exactly as he pleases. Life bends to his will. Until he comes across the one thing he would give it all up for, but can never have.
Born on the same day in opposite corners of the world, their lives collide. And nothing is ever the same again.
Now Shayda is flying free and Troy has found the one thing that centers his soul. But even as they beat the odds, Shayda is diagnosed with cancer and faces a painful dilemma. On the one hand is the man who makes her feel gloriously alive and on the other, her children, and a husband ravaged by the past.
Spanning three decades, 53 Letters for My Lover is a sensual, emotional ride to the heart of an epic, forbidden love that defies it all - an intimate exploration of love, loyalty, passion, betrayal, and the human journey for hope, happiness and redemption.
