About Life, Slightly
Two strangers, one bench. Two lives, one lie.
When Gavin meets Jackie on a bench in the local park, he thinks she’s a stranger. She knows better. She’s connected to him in ways he can’t yet imagine.
She swore she wouldn’t do this again but it’s real this time. So real, she might do something reckless and tell him everything.
He’ll understand. It wasn’t her fault, not really. Perhaps he’ll forgive her, even if she can never forgive herself.
Forbidden love, betrayal, grief, loss, redemption and second chances… and death.
Life, Slightly is part of the Invisible Lives series. The books can be read in any order. Other novels in the series include Beat The Rain and The Pursuit of Ordinary.
