I'm pleased to have Jennifer with us here today and share with you all an excerpt and information from her latest release "Searching For Mine"!
I loved it! This is a novella but you get a full story. Both characters develop throughout the story! They each have a past that affects their present and must decide if its worth it.
I love Jennifer's writing style and her story telling. Truly a gift!

Ella Blake is a single mom and a professor at the local Verily college who’s climbed up the ranks the hard way. Her ten-year-old son is a constant challenge, and her students are driving her crazy—namely Connor Dunkle, who’s failing her class and trying to charm his way into a better grade. Fuming at his chauvinistic tendencies, Ella teaches him the ultimate lesson by giving him a special project to help his grade. When sparks fly, neither of them are ready to face their true feelings, but will love teach them the ultimate lesson of all?

Excerpt
Connor
trudged inside and reheated his dinner. The interior of his apartment didn’t reflect the shabby exterior. He’d updated the original dull beige walls and
carpet with a rich blue, and his brother’s
girlfriend, Kennedy, had transformed the bachelor pad into a home using a few
feminine touches to brighten up the place. He’d moved from his old apartment he’d shared with Nate to save money, ignoring his
brother’s protests that he’d cover his expenses until Connor finished
school.
Hell,
no.
Connor
had spent his life taking care of his little brother and raising him. Though
Nate was now a fancy rocket scientist who used to work for NASA, Connor refused
to take his charity. But he hadn’t been able to
afford the tuition so they’d struck a deal.
Since Connor had worked three jobs to get Nate through college when he was
young, Nate would front his tuition bill. Connor could live with that, knowing
he’d pay back his brother every dime once he got
into a management position. He’d quickly moved
to this apartment to save on rent and was now able to live comfortably.
He
may not have fancy granite counters or stainless steel appliances, but
everything worked, including the big screen TV. The furniture was secondhand,
but it was solid wood mahogany, with clean, masculine lines. The extra bedroom
was a nice perk, so he used it for his workout equipment and skipped the gym
membership. Photos of architectural buildings and bridges filled the walls,
bringing a sense of wonder and creativity to the space. His textbooks stuffed
the antique bookcase, and he’d created a small
workspace in the corner of the living room, saving a spot for where he’d hang his degree.
He
pulled out his sub, cracked open his beer, and ate at the sturdy pine table
while he scrolled through his iPhone and updated social media. The radiator
hummed and the pipes creaked in the background. The smell of sauce and meat
drifted in the air. He embraced the quiet, settled in, and enjoyed the
solitude. After dinner, he powered up his laptop and did a few hours of
schoolwork, finally rubbing his tired eyes around nine o’clock.
To
think he once had nothing to do but hang at the pub with his friends was now
laughable. Most of the time, he fell asleep with his textbooks open on the
table, drooling over the pages. Other than an occasional Saturday night out or
hanging with his brother, his social life had dried up to an embarrassing
level. He rarely saw his old friends, who were mainly into getting drunk at the
bars every Friday and Saturday night, refusing to acknowledge that forty loomed
dangerously close. Hell, the saddest part of all was he didn’t even miss his old life.
Not
even the women.
