Caliana Crawford is smart, sexy and unemployed. After quitting her mediocre job, she finds herself in need of a break. She goes to the one place that holds her most precious memories, her cabin by the lake. Life hasn’t always been easy for Cali. She lost someone close to her, was betrayed by her lover, and now she only wants to escape reality. What she doesn’t plan on is her sexy neighbor, who has an agenda of his own.
Owen Matthews goes through the motions every day, but knows his life is missing one essential part – Cali. He has never forgotten about the summers he spent by the lake with the gorgeous brunette. When he sees she is back to stay, Owen knows he can’t let her slip through his fingers again. Others think he has it all with owning a multimillion dollar company, but what they don’t know is that he would give it all up to have her in his arms and his bed.
The road to happiness isn’t always easy. His brother returns to his life and brings with him an old flame who threatens to rip Cali and Owen apart. Will they find their salvation with one another or let the events of their past influence their future?
My Salvation was the first book I wrote back in 2014 and book one of the Salvation series. It's a romantic suspense. The heroine is sassy and strong and hero is an alpha. It's a full-length novel.

The rainy day led to a rainy night. The air was cool outside and Owen decided to build a fire in the living room. Cali sat curled up on the couch with a blanket covering her legs and a book in hand. He sat next to her, wanting to be close. She took the blanket and covered him with it as well.
“This is nice,” she said, resting her head on his shoulder. They were alone in the house for the evening. Steven and Adeline were next door in their place and he gave Erik the rest of the weekend off, even though he protested.
“Mmm - hmmm,” was his only response.
“Are you tired?”
“No, just enjoying the warmth of the fire and having you by my side. I’m happy.”
“Good, I always want you to be happy,” she said.
“You are the sole reason for my happiness, Caliana.”
“I sincerely doubt that. You are very successful. You have a lot to be happy about.” She had fully leaned into him and nuzzled her nose into his neck.
“The success doesn’t matter if at the end of the day you come home to an empty house. What good is having all of this if I have no one to share it with? No one to take care of or love. Someone who loves me not for my money, but for who I really am.”
“I love you for who you really are.” She sat up and ran a hand along his face. A light layer of stubble covered both cheeks.
“I know you do. You have no idea how much that means to me. I would do anything for you.”
“And I for you.”
He moved so he could kiss her. His fingers went to her neck giving the delicate skin a massage. Her skin was warm from the heat of the fire. Their kiss was slow and sensual.
