HEAs With Lorraine Nelson Chance to Win Cameron's Quest

Does every book have to have a happy ending?

When writing a series, wouldn’t it be all right to leave the characters on a drastic hook?

My original manuscript had Cameron Manning being arrested at the end of the book, but my editor said, “No. We need the HEA.”

Even though we know his Irish love, Lacey Kerrigan, is going to stand behind him all the way, believing in his innocence.

Even though, as one of the ‘good guys’, we know he’s going to be proved innocent in the next book.

A relationship based on true love weathers the obstacles put in its path. So in a way, even though he’s arrested, it is a HEA just knowing they have that love to sustain them through difficult times. Life doesn’t always run smooth and having someone in your corner can be a real blessing. Isn’t that what love is all about?

What about you? Do you need that happily-ever-after or happy-for-now ending? Or would you be content to wait for the next book, which, by the way, is almost finished and ready to submit?

Cameron Manning has never forgotten his first love. Of Irish descent, he met red-haired, fiery tempered Lacey Kerrigan in England, but her family returns to Ireland unexpectedly and they haven’t any means of contact. He finds her and receives the surprise of his life.

Lacey is thrilled to see Cameron, but is afraid of being hurt again. She keeps her distance and rebuffs his advances while he’s in Ireland, certain that a long distance affair will never work. But when tickets arrive for her to visit his home in Canada, she realizes his love is true and is willing to give them a second chance.

Fate intervenes when they find a murdered man on Cameron’s back deck. All evidence points to Cameron as the killer. Can their reawakened love survive the stress of a murder investigation? Or will it be the catalyst that drives them apart forever?
