Twisted Roads

by Travis Erwin

A tarnished name and a bitter heart. That's all Angela Ross owned when she fled Texas. Forced to return after fifteen years, she knows in a town like Grand, some sins are never forgotten ... Much less forgiven. Shelly Sampson is the reigning queen of Grand, but her crown is tarnished and nothing threatens to knock her tiara off faster than a chill wind from the past ...Like the return of Angela Ross. Lucas Cahill writes love songs for a woman he can't have. Lucas has a plan to change that, but heart strings prove tougher to tune than the old guitar his dad left him. Turns out love ... is no easy song to write. Back in Texas to take care of her grandmother's estate, Angela Ross knows that in a town like Grand, reputation means much more than the truth. Some sins are never forgotten, much less forgiven. Shelly Sampson has worked hard to cultivate her image as reigning queen of Grand, but long held secrets mean her crown is precarious at best. And nothing could knock her tiara off faster than a chill wind from the past ...Like the return of Angela Ross. Left with nothing but an old house and painful memories, Angela soon takes a job at the local tavern owned by Lucas Cahill hoping to earn enough to leave this town behind for good. Lucas still holds the same flame for Shelly Sampson he had in high school and though she welcomes his attention, he can't understand why she won't leave her rocky marriage behind to finally give them a chance at happiness. Once Angela, Shelly's old arch rival, enters the picture as Lucas' new employee Shelly's desperation to keep her life and secrets intact starts a chain reaction whose outcome no one in Grand could have ever predicted.

About the author

I am a native Texan who now calls sunny Southern California home. Long before I figured out I wanted to be writer, I was an avid reader. I write humor books and articles about sports and music and food and anything else that strikes my fancy. But mostly I write Women’s Fiction.

Yes, I know it's a little odd for a six-foot-five, two- hundred, and too-many-pounds man to write “girly stuff” but what can I do. I have to write the stories that fill my head, because I’m obligated to be the voice for these characters since they’re not going to shut up either way. At least on paper I can act like they exist for a reason. Otherwise, I’m just a guy with multiple personalities.
