After the Dust Settles (California Dreaming #3)
by
Stacey Johnston
I’m not your average seventeen-year-old boy.
What other teenage boy do you know of, is working alongside their father in a top-secret government agency, and has been since they were fifteen?
Unheard of? Yes probably.
After spending years searching for my place in this world, I jumped at the opportunity to help my father. What I didn’t expect was the possibility that our work could flow over and harm our family.
Yet that’s exactly what happened…….
I thought I’d found, and then lost the girl who would forever hold my heart – until a sexy ass stranger crossed my path under the Brooklyn Bridge.
I want this girl, like I’ve never wanted anyone. She makes me feel things that I should feel guilty about, that I shouldn’t be needing as desperately as I do.
Only there’s a catch …………. She has secrets, ones that could have a devastating impact.
Hadley
He was supposed to be a job.
A target that needed to be eliminated.
A message that we weren’t a family to mess with.
When my chance came, I couldn’t do it. There was a presence about him that drew me in. I went from wanting to kill him, to wanting him in my arms.
From that moment on he became my obsession….
I’m no good for him, which is why I should stay away from him. I will only destroy him because I’m broken, a girl with a dark past - the daughter of an Italian mobster. Our family is one of the largest in Brooklyn.
I need to escape my father, and this life.
I need someone to swoop in and save me, but I’m scared because bad things happen to me – and the people I love.
About Stacey Johnston:
What to tell you
about myself??
When I sat down to
set about the challenge of what I could say, I found that I didn’t
really consider myself to be very interesting at all.
I’ve lived in
Western Australia my whole life, only ever leaving the country once.
Right now though I reside in a southern suburb close to the beach.
Above everything
else I’m a wife and a mother. I’ve been married to a man I
believe to be my soul mate for the past nine years. When he came into
my life I already had two gorgeous kids, a boy and girl, who he took
on as his own without any consideration as to how it would affect his
life. During our time together, he has also blessed me with two more
gorgeous little girls. My real life also has me working fulltime as
an Office Manager for an Audio Visual Company.
I grew up in a home
with three aunties, two uncles, my younger brother, my father, and my
grandparents!! Wow that was more of mouthful than I expected! As you
can imagine life in a large family like that was never boring
As a child I loved
creating stories in my head, it was my escape, a place I could go and
hide from the world. As I became older, my stories evolved and every
time life challenged me, I slipped back into my imaginary world and
hid. This didn’t change as I entered adulthood.
I have always been
the kind of person who never made things easy for herself, and I
spent many years drifting from family member to family member looking
for direction. It wasn’t until I was twenty-one when I met a man
who would become, what I thought - my future. Over the next twelve
years he was my life, well him, and the two children he blessed me
with.
We lost that loving
husband, and father to a heart attack when our children were very
young, and life as you can imagine became a little rough for a while.
Over the years my
stories have given me the sanity to get through many tragic
situations. They’ve given me a world to escape into, one where I
can be anything I want.
These stories I’ve
created over the years, have always been a coping mechanism that
worked for me, and I’ve always wanted to share them.
With the support of
my family I have ventured out there, and finally put them down on
paper. I hope you love them as much as I do.

Join
my closed readers group – California

This is a group I
created where I can interact with my members, discussing my stories,
and the characters within. I also like to give my members the
opportunity to get their hands on advanced copies of my books, in
exchange for their honest reviews.
There may or may not
be a little raunchy fun as well….
