Vice & Violet: Special Edition - Paperback

by Sarah A. Bailey (Author)

An emotional journey of healing and redemption as two broken souls find each other when they least expect it, only to discover that love requires courage in the face of their darkest secrets.

Elena Ramos had always set a clear path for her future. She knew exactly what she wanted out of life, and was determined to find the kind of happily ever after she loved to write about. Until the most devastating of tragedies turned her entire world on its axis. Plagued with irreparable pain and guilt, the finality of this heartbreak feels impossible to recover from, sending Elena into a dark spiral she doesn't know how to escape.

Augustus Hayes considered himself a dreamer. Meaning, he forced himself into the contentment of dreaming up a reality that'd never be his. That is, until a door leading to the love affair of a lifetime opened, and he found himself grasping for the handle. But when the worst possible consequences for his choices came crashing down around him, he lost sight of everything he'd ever known. There is only one person who can pull August and Elena from their respective depths of despair, but are their wounds too deep, and their secrets too dark for either of them to find the courage to be the other's light?

Author Biography

Sarah fell in love with reading as a child. She quickly learned that books can take her to all the places she always dreamed of going, and allow her to live endless lifetimes in the one that she was given.

Sarah believes that a good romance novel can make even the darkest days a little bit brighter, and in the kind of love stories that make even the skeptics believe in all that cheesy stuff like soulmates. She hopes to produce stories that readers can pick up, and regardless of what's weighing them down in life, feel a little lighter when they finish.

Sarah was born in California and raised in Southern Oregon, and still considers herself a Pacific Northwest gal at heart; right down to being a coffee snob, adamantly believing in Sasquatch, and feeling like rain drenched forests are a form of therapy.

Sarah now resides in Arizona with her husband, Mike, and their dog-baby, Rue. When she's not writing, she's likely reading, and if she's not reading, odds are she's out searching for a decent cup of coffee, or a rainy pine forest.
