Valor

Awakened #8

by Harley Austin

Dr. River Elliot is running out of time—his future wife is lying in a coma, about to be pulled from life support. He’s doing everything he can behind the scenes to save her, but there’s only so much a new hospital resident can do. And there’s another problem—she’s never actually met him, he’s never met her, and no one knows who the sleeping Jane Doe really is. There’s also something very unusual about her—something the new doctor is having a very hard time convincing others is happening. No one believes him. In a desperate attempt to save her life, River does the unthinkable. Has he really just thrown away his life and career just to save a woman he’s never met?

About the author

Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I've spent most of my life writing. I am, at heart, a storyteller. As early as I can remember I have loved stories and loved telling them in my own inimitable way.

A Harley Austin book often defies the typical categories. A cross-genre author, you can find me writing stories that include classic romance, mystery, suspense, fantasy, and science fiction--and always with a heavy dose of the unexpected.

I am also an insufferable romantic and relationship junkie. A Harley Austin story will often include a steamy romance, often more than one, between a hero and heroine, or even between two heroes or two heroines. I will keep you guessing.

Story descriptions are important to me, and often the most difficult to write. It is always a balancing act to deliver a hard-hitting description of the book without giving too much of the story away. As such, a Harley Austin book description will often be a little shy on the details.

Harley Austin novels are also just that--novels. When you pickup one of my books you will get 300 to 400 or more pages of riveting story.

I don't do cliffhangers.

I also don't drag you into an book or milieu just so I can kill off beloved characters at the end. A book is much more than just entertainment. It is a time where you and I connect, and you graciously give me the power to lead you to a place of wonder. A story is something that is immersive, personal, where one feels like they know the people in the story deeply and intimately.

A Harley Austin romance is one can be loved and enjoyed by anyone, whether they are male or female. The fact is, I receive just as much rave response from men reading my stories as I do women. Again, the Harley Austin novel often defies categories and crosses numerous genres to weave a story that attracts readers from all walks of life.
