WADE: From The Shadows

by Cara Addison

Snorting, stomping, angry just waiting to be released from the confinement of the chute. It’s the most dangerous sport out there, and finally, Wade Cunningham is at the top of the rodeo standings. Armed with rosin, ropes, and cowbells, he’s set to conquer the bulls as a professional rider with a lot of talent. With a host of personal demons, he also has a propensity for drunken brawls, bad decisions, and an unsatisfied hunger for loose women. Now, with his long time rival retired from the circuit, everyone is focused on him, and Wade knows it’s time to clean up his act. Wade finds himself uncharacteristically asking Cheyenne Daugherty on a date rather than indulging in a quick fling. Petite and with brassy hair, the young, single mother is completely unlike the flashy, high maintenance women Wade is used to pursuing. Wrecks and spills fill the season, leaving Wade to question if he can emerge from the shadows of doubt and self-sabotage to prove to Cheyenne that he’s not only worthy of her love, but also dependable enough for her to trust him with her young son. Falling in love for the first time in his life, Wade knows that with Cheyenne counting on him, there is no one to blame but himself if he doesn’t succeed.

About the author

Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Cara Addison has used drive, tenacity, ambition, and out-of-the-box thinking to ascend the Canadian corporate ladder to shatter the proverbial glass ceiling. As the CEO of a government firm, Cara prefers to be out in the trenches, working to provide solutions rather than sitting behind a desk. Over her fifteen-year career, Cara has given back to her community, supporting her philanthropic interests as she provides strategic governance on numerous boards of directors.

While Cara loves to succeed in her work, it was an impromptu challenge to herself that led her to sit down one day and write a piece of fiction that was worthy of publication. Being an avid daydreamer since childhood, she transferred her own wit and humor to the narrative and dialogue of the characters that resided in her imagination. Words poured onto the page and within weeks, she had a full-length novel with characters, events, and situations that were influenced by the people and places in her everyday life.

In typical fashion, Cara found herself submitting ‘Passion, Power, and Privilege‘ to a publisher just thirty days after Kate Callahan and Bradley Taylor materialized in her imagination. Having boldly submitted her first manuscript she began writing another while balancing the demands of work and a young family. Remarkably, Cara has managed to juggle her career, motherhood, and the creative process of writing. In the past twelve months, this literary newcomer has written and published a total five full-length novels. According to this prolific author, a sixth is in the works.

As the mother of two young daughters, Cara involves her girls as she indulges in outdoor adventures, shares her love of new travel destinations, tends to the backyard vegetable patch, and uses those fresh ingredients in her everyday cooking.

With a growing catalogue of novels, Cara uses her social media savvy to engage and interact with readers. Her playful, clever, and sometimes naughty banter resonates with male and female readers alike.

Cara’s novels include:
Passion, Power, and Privilege
Going The Distance
The Fortuitous Pen [Sequel to Going The Distance]
Every Second Weekend
Loans Lust and Lies
