THEN"Gia had let Beppe into her life so easily, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She'd held him when he'd hurt so badly he'd thought he might die; she'd talked him down when he'd been so angry he'd considered doing something he'd regret for the rest of his life. Gia had saved his life.At least once he needed to be strong for her.This right now, this moment, was theirs. It belonged to them, not to abusive or dead fathers, not to guilt, regret or sorrow, not to the past or the future."But will their love survive when tragedy separates them? "I have to go, Gia. I'm tired and I feel empty. I know you need me, but I have nothing left to give you. I need to heal.""I miss you so much it's hard to breathe."NOW"Beppe was still Gia's closest friend. But they'd never be anything more than that again. Remembering what it felt like to have the person you love most in the world torn away from you still hurt. Gia was determined never to be put into that position again."There was never lack of love, but can Beppe win Gia's trust again?FOREVER"When I was broken you gave me pieces of yourself and made me whole again."THEN, NOW, FOREVER is a spin-off from In a Heartbeat and can be read as a stand-alone novel. It's the complete story of Beppe and Gia, no cliffhanger ending.WORD COUNT: 95 000EDITOR: Veronica Leigh BatesCOVER ARTIST: Cover It DesignsREVIEWS"Then, Now, Forever is a heartbreaking story of two broken people who in each other find their forever. I love Beppe so much. Every scene with him just completely tugs at my heart and I think its because now we know his back-story. We know every single horrible thing he has had to go through in his life and my heart just wants to grab onto him and make him see how amazing and wonderful he turned out in spite of it. And then there's Gia. Gia is amazing and strong and inspiring. I loved her even more in this book because we got to see what she went through as well and see how amazing she was for Beppe. They were definitely made for each other. Their love is so pure and real and raw and scary that half the time they run from it. Which is infuriating at times, but oh so wonderful when they do give in. They make it through everything life throws at them and come out better and stronger than ever. Their love story is a wild ride, but oh so worth it in the end. It is passionate and real and completely captivating. Teodora leaves nothing out and so in the end when you close the book you feel complete in knowing what life held for the characters you became so invested in, which is something I completely love her for. Then, Now, Forever is such a wonderful and touching novel. It is a story of friendship and love and loss and grief and hope and determination. It is a beautiful story of two people so meant to be that no matter what life throws at them they come out the other end stronger and even more in love." Kelle Fabre"In this story we find out that Beppe's life is tough. I can't believe what the poor man had to go through right up until the last few chapters. Your heart bleeds for him. Throughout the story you see the struggles that this couple go through in order to be with each other. It's not a happy romance from the start there is pain and struggle but that's what makes you fall in love with the characters even more." Charmaine Butler
