Rip Tide: (2 Threes in the Keys)

Preston Life has hit me below the belt, and I have lost those I hold most dear. On my sister's deathbed, she made me swear I'd care for her baby girl as if she was my own. After six years of loving her like my daughter, we live a quiet and peaceful life. In the midst of more loss, I meet this couple, and unbeknownst to me, they are who I need to feel whole again. Hardy Dakota is my life, my wife, and my partner. We fit together like two jagged edges, making the perfect combination. Our unconventional life falls under scrutiny as the heir of a large family conglomerate. But what happens when another closes the gap and makes us even more complete. Do I walk away from my responsibilities as the perfect son my parents desperately want from me? Dakota I'm a free spirit, going where the wind takes me. It's been simple in the life I live with Hardy. Until a trip to a new resort has us questioning if we can love another as deeply as we love each other. I know the answer the second I set my eyes on the broody bartender with a ton of baggage. How do we convince the man he's worth all the love in the world when everything he's already lost and more may be taken from him? Contains mature themes.

About the Author :
Leigh Lennon is a mother, a veteran, and the wife of a cancer survivor. She is also the author of many books, including Stockholm, the Fans of Football series, and the Power of Three Love series. Being an audiobook narrator is literally Lessa Lamb's dream job. Seriously, she used to have actual dreams about it. When she was a kid, her mom used to read to her. Then she started listening to audiobooks. She never thought she could be "one of those people," though, because she didn't have a big, fancy acting degree. What she did have, however, was an incredibly deep passion for listening to and analyzing the way people talk. Not just the way they communicate (by which she is also fascinated, and has studied extensively), but the way they actually speak. How do people's mouths form the words they say? Do they have an accent? If so, from where, and how can you tell? What makes some people's words sound different from others? What makes men's and women's voices different? In short, what makes people sound like "themselves?" The investigation of this fascination has taken Lessa all over the world, and led to countless hours of video reference study, discussions with linguists and speech pathologists, conversations with native speakers . . . the list goes on. When Lessa's cousin's wife started writing and self-publishing her books, she was let in on this whole world of self-made authors and narrators . . . and she started thinking that she might actually be able to do this thing she had dreamt of for so long. She started narrating and producing her audiobooks, and slowly built a small portfolio. But the big turning point came when she got fired from her job at the time (the nicest thing they could have done for her, honestly), and decided to pursue audiobook narration full-time. With the help of her stunningly supportive partner (and his master's degree in mechanical engineering), she embarked on her full-time narration adventure, and she eventually built a sound booth in their office. Lessa has now narrated more than thirty projects, and she honestly plans to do this work until she literally can no longer speak . . . which, if she's good to her vocal folds, she hopes to prolong until shortly before her ultimate demise. She imagines that to be a good few decades hence, so she's hoping there are hundreds more audiobooks in her future. Lessa's aim, always, is to read a story the way an author hears it in their own head. Her ultimate goal as a narrator is to render the content in so enthralling a manner that even its original creator becomes completely engrossed in listening to their own story. With that in mind, she hopes to transport every listener who encounters her work as fully as possible into the author's creative vision. It is Lessa's most sincere hope that her narration will transport you, too. Stephen Borne is an audiobook narrator and musician living in Nashville, Tennessee. He has been creating audiobooks professionally for over ten years, starting at a major publisher as an audio engineer and quickly working his way into directing and producing. In the fall of 2019, Stephen made the transition into freelance work, which included, after a few years of practice and training, becoming a narrator as well. Stephen may be new to this side of the microphone, but he knows the industry and its requirements inside and out and he looks forward to continuing his journey in the audiobook and storytelling world.
