Burnside: A Romance Novel

Two lonely neighbors. One chaotic block. And a second chance at a life they both thought was over. At 41 years old, Laila Abhaya has resigned herself to the quiet rhythm of her dull, single life in Los Angeles’ Miracle Mile neighborhood. There was no romance for the high-powered lawyer—and no prospects, either. Just her work, her best friend, and her beloved dog Bear. She convinced herself long ago that happily-ever-afters were meant for younger crowds, and so she chose the comfort of routine over the sting of rejection. Then Hunter Redman moves in across the street. Fleeing a devastating divorce in San Francisco, 43-year-old Hunter arrives on Burnside Avenue desperate for a clean slate. He didn't expect to upend the neighborhood, though. And he certainly didn't expect the quiet woman on the block to stir up emotions he thought were long dead. The chemistry between them is immediate and intense, but building a life together in LA’s urban core isn't seamless. When Hunter's fractured past catches up to him on Burnside, it threatens to shatter their fragile new beginning. And not only that, but the Miracle Mile isn’t quite what it seems, either; one of the neighborhood’s residents is hiding a strange secret. Falling in love after forty is complicated. Staying together might take everything they have. ++++ Burnside is a deeply atmospheric, slow-burn contemporary romance featuring mature protagonists, sharp banter, and a realistic look at love, aging, and second chances. Set in the heart of Los Angeles, this novel includes a heartwarming ending with a jaw-dropping twist.
