Tears of a Rose (Light in the Darkness Book 1)

Nurse, part time writer and hopeless romantic Promise Genson, finds herself longing for the romantic ideal of love. However, unable to find any in real life, Promise instead sits down in front of her computer and begins to spin a tale. Events in her life become hectic when her high school sweetheart, Aidan Feral, shows up at the nursing home where she works with his mother in need of her care. After so many years it's hard to tell what's between them anymore, if anything but that doesn't stop Promise from being hopeful. Just like it doesn't keep her best friend friend, Colin, from being suspicious of Aidan's intentions.

Selah Donavon (the heroine of Promise’s novel) is a writer and small cafe owner in suburban Pennsylvania. When she sits down to write her newest masterpiece she encounters a dilemma. In order to portray her characters interactions properly she feels she must gain an intimate knowledge of the world of online dating. Signing up for a match site is not her idea of romance; however, as her resource becomes a tangle of heartstrings she finds herself drawn away from the imaginary into reality. And the reality is she’s falling in love! But with who?
