Through the eyes of four tough and brazen bull riders, Charlotte discovers that every life has a dark side.

Romie knows this. He stays married to a swimsuit model even though he can't keep his hands to himself.RJ can't resist a certain girl whose skin doesn't match his but he can't find the nerve to bring her home.Jimmy is just five feet of tough but even if he finds the courage to approach the girl of his dreams, a shameful secret might push her away. Then there's the cowboy with the superhero nickname. There's a reason he's called the Hulk, a reason he tried to stow in the past.

After the wilder side of life lures Charlotte in, she naively decides she won't go home. At least not yet. That selfish decision leads to an unexpected complication when someone she never meant to get hurt pays the price. Then a surprising confession leads her full circle to a conclusion that will impact all of their lives forever.

About the Author

I got my start in storytelling over 25 years ago as a professional stand-up comic. Then at the age of 44, I took the all-in risk of selling a lucrative business to start a writing career. Since then I’ve written six novels, the first five under the guidance of a professional editor, and the sixth (ANY STRANGE BEAST) under the direction of an award-winning Los Angeles producer who intends to adapt it to film.

I've also written two screenplays. The first was an adaption of my Amazon five-star novel, recently rebranded as THE REVOLUTION OF CHARLOTTE SMITH, that attracted the attention of a Philadelphia producer looking for a script for his directorial debut. The second, SPONTANEOUS, was praised as "A comedic version of THE FIGHTER" by Emerging Screenwriters.

I've written 150+ blogs and essays on numerous websites, among them three of my own: ABNORMALMOM.COM (a collection of essays about finding grace during the not-so-finer things in life), CINDYSATOZS.COM (26 comedy posts based on the A to Z Challenge for bloggers held each April) and PHIL-ITICALLYINCORRECT.COM (humorous blogs about the Philadelphia Phillies). These entertaining Phillies blogs were also posted on Bleacher Report and from there were repeatedly shared on Philly.com (the joint web portal of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News). By invitation, my articles have also appeared on Technical.ly Philly and Generocity.

I was co-valedictorian of my high school class, voted Most Likely to Succeed and spent three days in a coma. I've road tripped with a professional bull rider, earned a living breaking horses and once lost everything in a Ponzi scheme long before Bernie Madoff was a household name.

I have rehabilitated unwanted ponies, am a past volunteer for La Mancha Animal Rescue and have contributed writing to the Pennsylvania Farmers Union, a lobbying organization that promotes regenerative agriculture.

I have been known to work for food.

Editorial Reviews

Cindy Falteich has a quick wit and a gift with words.

Amazon - Larry Lewis

The kicker was the twists at the end of the book. Certainly not what I was expecting to happen. If you get the chance, please pick up this book. You will thoroughly enjoy it.

Amazon - Peter D'Orazio

I felt for every character in this book. I cried, I laughed, I was pissed and I loved them all! I was only disappointed when it came to an end!

Amazon - Pam Surdi

I was not ready for this book to end. I read Nora Roberts, Mary Higgins-Clark, Patricia Cornwell......... When is the next one coming out???? Well Done!

Amazon - J. Breckler

I loved the dialogue throughout the book. The guys speak with humor, truth, some swearing, and lots of teasing. Underneath it all they care about each other and look out for one another. Charlotte counters their comments with refinement. Ultimately, she learns a lot from them. This is about Charlotte's discovery of where she really belongs.
