Author’s Note

I hope you enjoyed reading Cara and Nick’s story. The cover photo is of Gig Harbor bay, taken by my son several years ago, when my family still lived in the pretty little town. Gig Harbor is about an hour south of Seattle, across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from Tacoma. I wrote Maxine a few weeks after a moderate earthquake shook the area, damaging roads and some of the structures in the Gig Harbor area. I hope they never have an earthquake as strong as the one in Maxine, but the area has several fault lines, and I’m sure there will be more shaking.

There are four books in the Donatelli series. Blind Love is Tony’s story. Tony’s sister, Maria, is featured in The Inheritance. The youngest sibling, Alessandro, is featured in The Inn at Dead Man’s Point.
