The Obsession: An Heirloom Novel

by Stacey Ritz

One experience. Two perceptions. Can one innocent mistake ruin your future?

One moment they are here, the next they are gone forever. For Lyndsay Hill, her tragic loss has left her reeling and unable to cope with debilitating bouts of depression. She loves her husband Brad, and she is grateful for her friends, but she can no longer stand the weight of their concerned eyes and heartfelt condolences. She wants to forget, if only for one night, and an out of town bar is her choice of locale.  

John Fitzberg is charming, devilishly handsome, witty, and dangerous. His first encounter with a distraught Lyndsay at an out of town bar is innocent, as John reasons she is merely a married woman looking for an escape. John decides in that moment, he is going to be her escape. He has finally met his soulmate and he is confident Lyndsay feels the same. If you love someone, they will surely reciprocate the feelings; and if they don't reciprocate, surely they are sending signals that you must try harder to prove you are worthy of their love. And John Fitzberg will do whatever it takes to prove his love to Lyndsay.

***The Heirloom Series books can be read in any order or on their own!***

Reviews

[Elizabeth Greene · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a page-turner. It explores how choices and responses to those decisions influence the character’s lives. It was suspenseful and a quick read. I also love reading the author’s conversation at the end, as the author includes some interesting information about how she used her life experience in the book. This was a great read!

[Bekah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novel had me on the edge of my seat from the start. The reader follows the story of a stylist at Heirloom Salon, Lyndsay, as she is forced to deal with a haunting choice she made years ago. As Lyndsay works through her past now present, the reader is introduced to a group that walks alongside her - each sharing their stories. As their stories unfold, Lyndsay, as well as the other characters, teach us that our choices matter and they impact the lives of others. I enjoyed the characters and the edgier vibe of The Obsession!
