A PERFECT STRANGER
(Book #1 in the Tom’s River Saga)
Nestled among trees
and hills, set alongside a winding river, the small town of Tom’s River,
Wisconsin, so beautiful and protected, is a place where everybody knows each
other, a place where nothing ever changes and where people can feel safe. But
one day, all that changes. Megan’s husband has gone missing, and no one can
find him.
As the search deepens, Megan discovers the truth not only about her husband,
but also about the secrets he’s been hiding in their marriage. Her world is
shook as she realizes she’s been living a lie, has been in a relationship with
a man who’s been living a secret life, a man she never really knew.
Some months after his disappearance, as the snows of winter melt, Hunter, a
handsome, magnetic stranger, arrives in Tom’s River. A loner with a mysterious
past, he is content with his solitary job at the lumber yard. But as a tornado
ravages the town, he is destined to cross paths with Megan, as she seeks help
to repair her damaged home.
Once Hunter and Megan meet, nothing is ever the same again. As he repairs the
roof that blew off her home, the two cannot hold back their feelings for each
other. They fall madly in love. Yet Megan cannot, once again, live with a man
who is keeping secrets from her: she needs Hunter to open up about who he is,
about what he’s running from. And that is not something Hunter may be ready to
do.
As they face a crucial crossroads in their affair, a shocking and dramatic twist
hits the town: one that will test their love, and will test the town. Nothing
will be the same in Tom’s River again.

[cl1]
Lots of double
spaces between words. I’m going to turn off tracking and correct the others, to
avoid clutter.
[cl2]
“noncommittally”
might be better here. or “with neutral expressions”
[cl3]
“fiancée” with 2
“e’s” refers to the female.
[cl4]
Changed for
clarity.
[cl5]
Webster’s has this
as “divi-divi.” Change?
[cl6]
divi-divi?
[cl7]
divi-divis?
[cl8]
Deleted—sounded
repetitive since it was used in previous sentence too.
[cl9]
Delete? Next
dialogue sentence pretty much repeats it.
[cl10]
This word
describes an action done with an attitude or expression of suspicion and isn’t
usually used with “was.”
[cl11]
When it’s a verb,
spelled without the final “e.”
[cl12]
Doesn’t this
usually happen at night? (It’s still morning in this scene.)
[cl13]
Would she have
brought an “old raincoat” with her to Aruba?
[cl14]
I can’t help but
wonder about the suicide note. Doug wrote it? The note was described as being
in Shari’s handwriting and was “beautiful” and “graceful.” Would a man have
been able to forge such a note?
