To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable. –John Milton
Charlotte Conroy, Juilliard-trained violinist, was on the cusp of greatness when tragedy swooped down on dark wings, crushing her hopes and breaking her heart. The music that used to sing in her soul has grown quiet, and she feels on the verge of setting down her violin for good. To pay the bills, she accepts a job as a personal assistant to a bitter, angry young man who’s been disabled by a horrific accident …
Noah Lake was an extreme sport athlete, journalist and photographer. He roamed the world in search of his next adrenaline high, until a cliff-dive left him in a coma. He awakes to find his career gone, his dreams shattered to pieces, his world an endless blackness that will never lift.
Charlotte begins to see that beneath Noah’s angry, brittle exterior is a young man in a pain. She is determined to show him that his life isn’t over, that he has so much to live for, never dreaming that she would become the only light in his darkness, or that he would help her find the music in hers.
The life he knew is over. The life she wants is just out of reach.
Together, they must face their fears and rediscover what it means to really live.
After the disastrous Planet X party, Noah Lake knows he must to learn to cope with his anger and bitterness, to learn to live as he is and not as he had been. He sets out on an impossible journey, alone, in the hopes of making himself worthy of Charlotte’s love, and to slay the demons of an old life that is lost to him.
As he makes his arduous way across Europe, following Charlotte’s tour, Noah writes of his experiences that will become his memoir, and it is only after reading his words that Charlotte comes to fully understand the hardships Noah endured for their sake; a journey that nearly broke him in mind, body, and spirit. She knows what she must do: show Noah that while she is the light in his darkness, he is the music in her heart, and that without him, she’d be just as lost.
Endless Possibility is the final chapters in a love story about acceptance, peace, and the bond between two souls who have found their equal in each other, and the happily ever after they both deserve.
Gah! I love Noah’s note SO much!!!

Dear Charlotte,
It’s been ten years since you rescued me from the bleak, black life I’d carved out for myself after my accident. Being blind, I thought, was the end of my life.
And I was right.
It was the end of my old life in which the world laid spread before my feet and I surfed, skydived, climbed, and raced over every inch of it. I lived on the edge of life and death, and had an endless bank account to keep me there. I was rich. I thought I had it all, so when the blindness came down, I thought that meant I’d lost it all.
It took you coming into my dark world to show me what wealth meant. You revealed the value of life that existed in the day to day, hour by hour, minute by minute, and not just those that existed a hair’s breadth from death. That there was richness in even the quietest of moments, if there is love.
I love you. I love you because you understand me the way no one else has. You put up with my moods, my messiness, my habit of starting most sentences with the word “Fuck.” I fucking love you for being the kind of mother to Lucy that I could only dream about having for my little girl; I love you because you’re sexy as hell under my hands that look at you and see only perfect beauty. And I love your genius with the violin; your music that reaches into the depths of the soul. You sing through your violin, and the beauty you create is a manifestation of the beauty within you.
Happy Anniversary, to the love of my life.
I am rich for having you.
I am better for knowing you.
I am privileged to love you.
Yours forever,
Noah
I write romances with flawed characters, characters with artistic hearts: builders, poets, and writers of various makes and models. I love to write book lovers; those who have found refuge, companionship, and escape in books, much as we do in real life. I like realism, honesty, authenticity in storytelling. I love to write about enduring love, soul-deep love, in as real a setting as I can make, but with big smooshy HEAs. I believe in diversity, open-mindedness, and inclusion. I like sweetness mixed with steam, love conquering all, and above all, hope. Love always wins.
