County Girls, by Tressa Messenger
Adult Contemporary RomanceMarissa left town as soon as high school ended, carrying with her deep, dark secrets that she never intended to divulge. But once she went back home after twenty years for her high-school reunion, she knew that was exactly where she wanted to be. Back in her hometown in North Carolina, it all comes rushing back to her, both good and bad -- even the uncontrollable desire for her first love, who happened to be her best friend’s husband. Marissa and her three best friends could never have imagined the events that would take place after these once inseparable County girls are back together again or the hot nights that are sure to come.

About the Author:
I am a small town girl with big dreams. I grew up in a small coastal community called Pamlico County in the town of Reelsboro, North Carolina. Growing up in such a rural area, there wasn’t much to do, so I found solace in writing poetry and songs. After high school, I left my little secure coastal town to discover other parts of the country. It was a sad and lonely time, but also a fun and exciting time in my life. I had too many emotions to process, so I started to put it all down on paper. That became the start of my first novel, which I have yet to finish. My first complete novel, Protector, was a dream come true, although I found out during the process, at 31 years old, that I am dyslexic. Reading was always a struggle throughout my life, and finding out why has really made a difference in me and my writing. It was such a wonderful and daunting process, but I have succeeded in doing something I never thought I would do. I have three novels published -- Protect, Protect Me, and Too Close to Home -- and two more on the way. Writing is such a passion of mine and will continue to be whether I become successful with it or not. I currently live outside of my hometown with my husband and daughter.
