ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: As the Light Fades
Author: Catherine West
Release Date: September 10, 2019
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
After her carefully constructed life crumbles, Liz Carlisle finds herself back on Nantucket, picking up the pieces. With the family estate under renovations, the solitude she craves seems out of reach.
Matthew Stone intends to steer clear of his new tenant. She’s carrying a load of baggage, but as long as she pays the rent, he’ll let her be. He’s got enough to deal with caring for his wayward niece, Mia.
Liz doesn’t have time for teenagers and her track record with men is abysmal, but an unlikely friendship forms between the three.
When her former boyfriend is charged with assault, Liz is called to testify against him. But he knows the darkest secrets of her life—secrets she’d hoped to keep buried forever, and he’s ready to reveal them. Telling the truth is the right thing to do, but it may cost her everything she’s worked so hard for, and all she’s come to love.
EXCERPT
She’s here again. The pretty one. Can’t remember her name,
although I think I said it earlier, when she arrived. They told me this morning
it was Sunday, and she always comes on Sunday. We sit in the day room, where
they have the television turned so loud nobody can hear themselves think.
Ha.
Considering the nut-jobs around here, that’s probably a
jolly good thing.
“Did you have a good week, Dad? How was your lunch today?”
Always full of questions, this one. She’s agitated, winding her blond hair
around her fingers the way her mother used to do. Her blue eyes search my face,
pierce through me, and I have to smile. She’s so much like her.
“Diana.” I say it loud, this little victory. This snatch of
memory that will be gone in another instant. “Your mother. You look just like
her.”
She stares at me like I’ve stood up, hand over heart, and
recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Which I never bothered to remember even when
I had a mind that worked. My British pride wouldn’t allow it.
