The Caretaker of Secrets Fate (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781961910027)

THE CARETAKER OF SECRETS {FATE}

Samantha Carey wants to believe in such a thing as fated loves and fairytales. She wants to believe that something greater controls our destiny. But where does fate fit in when she can't see a happily-ever-after with her boyfriend of four years anymore, and a best friend might not be just a friend? When things get too complicated, eighteen-year-old Samantha just wants to escape her small town - but the only way out is to save enough money from her tiresome job caring for a bitter old bedridden woman whose secret past might mean Sam works for a murderer.

Broken and jaded, sixty-nine-year-old Jane Nelson knows a thing or two about how love triangles can end badly. She also knows you can't escape life's never-ending struggles of love, heartbreak, and betrayal. When Jane sees Samantha spiraling out of control, she fears the young girl could lose herself. No one knows the consequences of that better than Jane herself, who will stop at nothing to share with Samantha her lifetime of lessons, even if it means revealing a past that should have stayed buried forever.

The Caretaker of Secrets {Fate} is a painful, messy, and beautiful duality story with past and present, a tale of love triangles, heartbreak, betrayal, and finding oneself. And whether you are young or old, this story is about unexpected friendships and the connections that ultimately link each of us in a weaving tale of fated destinies.

The Caretaker of Secrets {Fate} is the author's first debut novel and the first book in her coming-of-age women's fiction stand-alone series.
