When Love Gets Deep
by Roberta L. Wilson
Hot off the press – check out my newest novel. Available online.
At 52, Janella St. John has spent most of her life creating perfect desserts as a pastry chef, but after 27 years in the kitchen, she traded her whisk for a pen. Now a rising Hollywood TV showrunner, Janella is thriving in her second act—except when it comes to love. Having had her fill of disappointment and ghosting in the world of online dating, she's burnt out and ready to call it quits on finding "the one." Her career is sweeter than ever, but the rest of her life feels like an empty plate.
Meanwhile, across the country in Traverse City, Michigan, 53-year-old Eldon Marchand is dealing with his own romantic setbacks. A rugged construction worker newly promoted to foreman, Eldon is tough, jaded, and scarred from a messy divorce. When he gets stood up on a date by a woman he met online, he’s ready to give up on love altogether. After all, he’s been burned before—why should he try again?
On the surface, Janella and Eldon couldn’t be more different. She’s a big-city Hollywood creative, driven by her dreams, while he’s a down-to-earth small-town man, more focused on living in the moment than planning for the future. But when fate—or perhaps something more mysterious—brings them together, they find an undeniable spark.
Both bruised by their pasts, they must decide whether to protect their hearts or take a leap of faith. Though they seem all wrong for each other, they may just be what the other needs. As their worlds collide, Janella and Eldon discover that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it, and that what you think you want might be far less important than what you need.
When Love Gets Deep is a heartwarming story of second chances, unexpected connections, and the sweetness of finding love later in life.
