There are some mistakes we make that we will regret for the rest of our lives. For Christian, it was the day he betrayed Elizabeth.

Christian Davison has a plan for his life. He is determined to become an attorney and to one day take his place as partner in his father’s law firm. Nothing will stand in his way, not even Elizabeth Ayers and their unborn child.

After Christian cuts her from his life, Elizabeth spends the next five years struggling to provide for her daughter and willing to sacrifice anything to give her child a safe, comfortable life.

For five years, Christian has regretted the day he walked away from his family and will do anything to win them back just as Elizabeth will do anything to protect her daughter from the certain heartache she believes Christian will bring upon them.

When Christian wrestles his way into their lives, Elizabeth is faced with asking herself if it is possible to forgive someone when they’ve committed the unforgiveable and if it is possible to find a love after it has been buried in years of hate. Or are there some wounds that go so deep they can never heal?

They say everyone deserves a second chance.

Betrayal is something we’ve all experienced, whether we’ve been on the giving or receiving end of it. At some point in our lives, we’ve probably been on both. When writing Take This Regret, I wanted to explore how two people deal with a betrayal that most would think it unforgiveable.

Christian Davison is man who has shouldered a regret so heavy it has become hard to bear, while Elizabeth has harbored a hatred so intense that it has hindered her from moving on with her life. When Christian finally decides he wants a part in his daughter’s life, Elizabeth is ready to fight him every step of the way.

Follow Christian and Elizabeth as they struggle to come to terms for the sake of their little girl, Lizzie, who has been thrown into the midst of their turmoil. Elizabeth and Christian are forced to face their past and through it uncover a love that has been buried beneath years of hurt.

Take This Regret was an incredibly emotional write for me. I fell in love with each of the characters. I couldn’t help but cry for them and the mistakes they continued to make and couldn't wait until the point when I could give them a happily ever after. I hope you especially enjoy Lizzie. My sweet niece, Parker Elizabeth, was my inspiration.
