Creating the Rules
An abandoned past. An uncertain future. And a dreaded return to the small town she rejected 30 years ago. Anne Cromwell is a fiercely independent wealthy widow and New York City socialite whose narcissistic tendencies get her what she wants – but she can't control her relationship with her daughter, the stock market, or whether a gunman shows up in a 5k fundraiser in Central Park. As her carefully curated life falls apart, Anne's only option is to return to the South Carolina town she left in the throes of grief. In Ferris, she'll be out of the spotlight and can claim the trust money that would protect her lifestyle. All she has to do is co-chaperone a youth group camping trip with her first love, Louis, who knows exactly who Annie used to be – and what made her leave Ferris in the first place. Anne has to put her rekindled romance to the side when old ties call her back to the city. Not only does Anne's best friend relapse, but her daughter found out Anne has been lying – and she doesn't want anything to do with her. After lying to your daughter for a lifetime, what is enough to heal such a betrayal? Creating the Rules is a story of coming home and second chances. Full of heartache and hope, Anne Cromwell's story is for those who can't help but remember their past and believe love can be found in the ashes of loss. If you love stories that make you remember your first love, your hometown, and the people who raised you, you'll love Anne Cromwell's story - the third volume of the interconnected standalone trilogy, The Cromwell Rules. Maybe you'll find yourself remembering the man you used to love – and the woman you used to be.
