From the outside looking in, Lynn Feoras seemingly has everything a woman could desire. With numerous platinum selling CDs, lavish homes, and the ability to bring down the house with her powerful vocals, who could want for more? Lynn. Alexis Donatella is a jaded SVU officer who has no tolerance for the rich and famous. She has devoted her life to raising her daughter and to the Florida division of the Special Victims Unit. Venturing into a relationship is the furthest thing from her mind. When Alexis and Lynn meet on the sandy beaches, sparks do not exactly fly, at least not for Alexis. When you add in a rambunctious child, a tragic secret from Lynn’s past, and obstacles no one could have foreseen, it makes for one frenzied summer. In the midst of madness, is it possible for these two women to find love?

Broken Star

She hadn’t been around children very much, except when she used to babysit her sister; however, at that time she had also been a child herself in many ways. The thought of having children had always terrified her after the ordeal with her sister. Evelyn’s cries still haunted her so badly that she could not sleep most nights, which was why she had started to develop slight bags beneath both eyes. Even though Lynn was only thirty-nine, the lack of sleep had caused her to age a bit more than most her age. Still, expensive makeup and night creams did wonders. Doctors had prescribed her every type of sleeping pill on the market and none had helped. Her manager had wanted her to go into therapy to deal with her problems, as he always called them—little did he know the truth. No one knew of the nightmares that tormented her. No one knew about her sister Evelyn. It was the only secret the tabloids had managed not to uncover and one she planned to keep hidden.
