The Wait is a story about love tested by time, circumstance, and restraint. Seeking an escape from her parents' constant arguing, Eloise spends a summer week with her college friend, Skylar, at Cape Cod. What she doesn't expect is to meet Jaime - Skylar's childhood friend whose presence unsettles her in ways she can't ignore. From their first meeting, Eloise feels a magnetic pull toward him, but there's one undeniable truth standing in their way: Jaime already has a girlfriend. Bound by their own principles, they refuse to cross the line, knowing that what they feel is too real to tarnish with betrayal.

When summer ends, Eloise returns to school, but the memory of Jaime lingers in every quiet corner of her life. Both try to move forward, burying their desire beneath new relationships and the distance that separates them. Yet fate continues to test their resolve - through miscommunications, bad timing, and the constant ache of what could have been. Their bond is undeniable, but love isn't just about attraction. It's about timing, trust, and the courage to fight for what feels impossible.

Can Eloise and Jaime find their way back to each other after everything - or will the wait cost them their chance at love forever?

WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"
