Effortless
By Marina Raydun
Genre: Literary Fiction/Women’s Fiction/Psychological Suspense 


Book Description: 


At 28, Helen longs to be effortless. Jamie looks it. Breaking a long-standing engagement, Helen at once knows what she has to do. She follows this enchanting stranger across the Atlantic, hoping to find more than temporary shelter and a distraction from her seemingly crumbling life when she gets there. Inevitably, the road for the two proves to be bumpier than Helen had ever imagined it could be. Along the way, she stumbles across unexpected discoveries about herself, as well as those in her life she's always thought she knew best.

A brief excerpt from the book:

I did not come to until I realized that my bike had fallen to the ground, my grip having failed it. I’d needed that shower, I suppose. By the time I'd looked up from behind my soaking wet hair, my red umbrella now at my feet, he was gone….”
