Happy release day for One More Tomorrow, Melanie Stevenson‘s debut novel! Please check out this exciting new book and its author below!
Sometimes a second chance is just an opportunity to get hurt all over again.
It’s been two years. That should be enough time to forget a first love. But Katie Banks is still waiting. Not even Justin Burke, her university classmate, has been able to erase the hurt Aiden Ford inflicted. When Katie accepts a scholarship to study abroad, it places much-needed distance between her and Justin. During her time away, Katie becomes an accomplished artist. But love still alludes her, until a stormy night, a tragic accident, and a hospital stay change everything.
One More Tomorrow explores how carrying hurt, regret, and holding on to our perfect ideas of love, can blind us to the true love that is right before our eyes.

EXCERPT
“Without knowing it, she had built a wall, a fortress even, using the hardened bricks of past hurts. Somehow Justin had scaled that wall, and now he stood brazenly before her, inviting her to love him, and all she wanted to do was run for reinforcements. She could never explain it to him, and even if she could, he wouldn’t understand. It was a dreadfully familiar place to be. Hadn’t she tried to explain before, with Aiden? That had been agonizing enough. If Justin was supposed to be her soul mate, God would have to figure it out.”
