Our New Normal

by Kay Gordon

Brooklyn Wright has goals for her professional life and she’s so close to reaching them that she can almost taste it. But when tragedy hits her family, she’ll have to take a few steps back from those goals to help those she loves the most. What she doesn’t count on is how little those goals would start to matter and how much her feelings would begin to grow… For her newly widowed brother-in-law.

Carter Davis knew without a doubt that he wanted to be a family man when he grew up. After marrying his high school sweetheart, his life is exactly what he thought it would be. Well, almost. When he comes home one day to find out the unthinkable has happened, he’s shaken up in the worst way. He’s determined to stay strong for his babies and finds an ally in the most unlikely person… His sister-in-law.

Brooklyn and Carter work together to overcome their shared grief while taking care of three little people who don’t quite understand the events happening around them. As the two become closer and feelings begin to rise, so does the guilt and the doubts.

What they both knew to be their normal every day lives has changed with new priorities in place. The two have to figure out what they want, how to get it, and what their new normal is.

About the author

Kay Gordon is a married, mother of two living near the west coast. She spends her days teaching young, impressionable minds in public school and evenings typing away furiously once her children are in bed. She loves to take her characters on a journey, making that happy ending even better!
Her favorite genre to read is Contemporary Romance but won’t hesitate to try anything with promise. One of her favorite past times is to read the book and then go see the movie while forcing her husband to listen to her point out all of the differences in real time. She’s still not over what Harry did to the Elder Wand in DH2.
When she's not teaching or writing, Kay loves to spend time with her family and friends, although she doesn’t ever say no to a good nap. She’s an avid lover of hockey and can be seen cheering for her beloved Nashville Predators- no matter how much they frustrate her.

Kay always welcomes feedback and comments (or even just a healthy argument about why Backstreet Boys are better than *Nsync) so please don't hesitate to reach out!
