Dealing with the AFTERMATH of trauma and tragedy, can tear families apart and hurdle strangers together. Healing doesn’t mean the pain was never real, the damage never done, but can love be enough for the past to no longer control a persons future?

In the midst of being assaulted, Emmylou gets a hold of a gun and becomes the unlikely hero, but the media spins it and gives the action star all the credit. Later, struggling to coop with the creepy people that try to take advantage of her sudden state as a widow and new single mom, Voss steps in and tries to help his now vulnerable hero, and along the way they become friends, who accidentally kiss...a lot. But, there is no way she would ever fit into his world of privilege and he doesn't fit in her life much better either... Casting & Location Inspiration Board on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/sandralakeroman/aftermath/ Excerpt; 'There were no words to describe the breathtakingly horrifying look of her. Tangled long, blond hair matted with blood stuck to her face. The whites of her big eyes contrasting against pale skin spattered in blood. Wearing only a bikini bottom, her breasts were covered in blood, a large gash to her upper eye and forehead streaming blood down to her waist. But the hand she held the gun in was clean, dry and steady, raised at her shoulder height. An empty holster for a dive knife was strapped to her leg, the small blade grasped tight in the fist that stabilized the raised nine-millimeter Luger. She took two shallow breaths and turned slowly to look over at Voss and his brothers for a quick second. She collected two guns off the dead gunmen and crossed the galley, quickly freeing Voss’s hands, leaving him the knife to take care of his brothers. She said nothing.'

----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month. Alessio's interest in Kate threatens to expose her, something she would surely die from. He knows she doesn't belong but it's not as though she could have just waltzed in, right? By the time Kate realizes that not even the greatest scoop is worth the price, she is in far too deep to call it quits now. ~~~Praise for When The Sun Goes Down~~~ Natasha427: "It was so captivating that I may or may not have spent the last several hours holed up in my room frantically scrolling down to read more.
