Finding Leah: A Steele Standing Novella

Steele Standing

by Jacqueline M. Sinclair

After years in an abusive relationship, Leah is free, and broke, but excited about the possibilities that await her. Then she finds out she's pregnant.

When her first check-up reveals a lump in her breast, the bad news just keeps coming. Leah must decide whether to accept the risks to her unborn baby, or delay treatment until it’s born, maybe even putting her chances of remission and recovery out of reach.

Realizing that you don’t have to raise a child to provide a stable, loving future, Leah makes the difficult decision to find the best family possible to adopt her child. That choice brings more than peace of mind for her and her baby. For the first time in her life, she experiences her own unconditional love.

This novella was originally published as part of the F*ck Cancer anthology.

About the author

Jacqueline grew up in the rural southeast and is the youngest child of a large and rowdy family. Reading was an escape when there wasn't much else around to do. She loves everything from classical literature to true crime and everything in between.

With a day job, and pursuing her dream job of writing, she plots a steamy combination of real life and what if...and then characters come along and completely derail the plan. Letting them have their say provides plenty of sleepless nights and an endless combination of coffee and wine, but she hopes you enjoy their stories.

Loved this story, and was glad for the much anticipated story of Merrick's mystery woman, Leah. Heart wrenching and hope bringing, Finding Leah is an amazing addition to the Steele Standing Series.
