Sudden Leaps

A Collection of Short Novellas

This collection of 3 short novellas involves interracial love stories with an element of strangeness—odd coincidences, voices and faces from beyond. They are all standalone tales. Includes:

- Leap of Faith: Lisa is making her way through college, hanging on to a relationship she no longer wants to be in for the sake of its familiarity. Daniel is a fellow student—a stranger, and nothing more than a blip on her radar until one day, an odd, sudden ability changes everything, making her consider leaving her possessive boyfriend for him. A novelette, “Leap of Faith” is a light tale of budding romance with a dash of telepathy.

- The Lifeguard: Regina Hartley has had enough. The demands of life have taken a toll on her, and, no longer feeling equipped to endure the strain, she decides to end it all in watery surrender. But instead of drowning to death, she finds herself being revived on shore by a concerned, handsome stranger, and after saving her, the stranger refuses to leave her alone. She realizes she doesn’t mind his concern so much, and is now interested in what else life has to offer her overall. But after saving her spirit, will the handsome stranger eventually disappear? “The Lifeguard” is a clean romance novelette.

- A Valentine’s Day Surprise: When Alicia’s cousin asks her to fill in for her last minute on a babysitting job, she is shamefully available to sub in, so she agrees. What she doesn’t expect, as she shows up at the client’s door, is a handsome, sad-looking father, and a quiet, but endearing four-year-old. And she certainly doesn’t expect wanting to see them again once the gig is done. Alicia puts the jarring night out of her mind as best as she can, but her services are unexpectedly called for once more, and she starts suspecting the client wants her for far more than watching his kid!
