Five Fallen Seconds: An Insta-Love Short Story

by J.M. Adele, Nicole Wilson (Editor)

All it took was five seconds, five puppies, one three-legged dog, and one special redhead to derail Mackenzie Lawnton’s life. Who knew the scariest thing on the planet was a woman in her mid-thirties with her life sorted?
Harlow Sage knew what she wanted, but would her dream-come-true turn out to be just an unfulfilled fantasy?

About the author

Author of smart, sexy characters, J.M. Adele loves to flit between the dark and light sides of romance. Somewhere along the way an almost constant procession of imaginary characters settled into her thoughts and she picked up a pen to share their stories.
She lives in Queensland with her three greatest loves, her children. When she’s not writing or being a mum, you might find her hiking up a mountain, singing in the car when nobody is looking, or curled up with a good book.
