Description
Struggling with the past, Joanna can’t forget the love she lost and the man who broke her heart. During the summer at a rock festival, Joanna meets him again. Niko is now an international rock star. Can they put the past behind them and rekindle the love they once had?
Mike stood by her when no one else did, but Niko still wants her. Joanna becomes entangled in a web of lies and deceit. Niko is the love of her life, but she cannot leave Mike in confusion and betrayal.
In Joanna’s Destiny, she has some fun times in France and mingles with the stars in Montreux. With a backdrop of music and fashion, emotions and friendships are tested. But her love for Niko never falters, showing that love can conquer all, but at what cost?
Excerpt
Niko’s Song
He began to sing a ballad that started slowly with just a whisper of her name in the high tones of his voice. When the words came in baritone, they were powerful and strong. His voice blended with the music, haunting and enchanting. Joanna was mesmerized.
The lyrics told of a young girl he had met a long time ago, a mere shadow of the woman she would become. The chorus sent a tingle down her back as he sang of his lady, such a special lady, who had forgiven him when he had mistreated her. The undertones told of how his heart had broken as he went through the door, leaving her weeping and alone, and how her eyes had haunted him. The guitar riff was mournful, and she felt tearful at the strength of his emotion.
She had never known Nike had felt like that.
Excerpt 2
The Aftershow Party
The doorway wasn’t crowded with photographers, and Joanna was relieved. They were shown into a vast ballroom highly decorated with colored lighting, lanterns, streamers, and balloons. Waiters wandered around with trays of champagne and canapés and tables filled with a variety of food and drink.
“Oh, wow,” enthused Kim, looking around. “This is quite something. Come on, let’s mingle.” Kim helped herself to some champagne from a passing waiter.
“You two go ahead,” said Joanna. “I’m going to find Niko.”
Lee Chapman, from Colour Me Purple, came over as Niko had introduced them at the concert. He was charming, but his broad Scottish accent made him difficult to understand. He, in turn, introduced her to Gary Faith, lead singer of the Faith Brothers. His Scouse accent reminded her of Brookside, the television programme set in Liverpool.
Joanna was utterly unaware of how beautiful she looked.
Gary Jones, who had been covering the event for the BBC was a native of Manchester, too.
“You chatting up my girl, Gary?” said Niko, his arm encircling Joanna’s waist.
“Yes, a fellow Mancunian!” he waved at someone and excused himself.
Niko kissed her forehead. “Honey, you look gorgeous, and everyone’s asking who you are.”
“Really?” Joanna smiled, her arms going around his waist. “Did you tell them I was with you?”
“Sure did.” Niko was looking particularly handsome wearing a smart jacket, a white collarless shirt, and dark turn-up trousers.
As the evening progressed, Joanna knew it would be one she would remember forever. It had the glitz, the sparkle and the atmosphere that made everything just perfect.
She giggled a lot and drank plenty of champagne. Niko introduced her to his friends, his arm fixed around her waist. She loved the attention, unaware of how striking she and Niko appeared standing together. Occasionally he went off to talk to somebody, while she danced, chatted, or drank.
Niko kept appearing back by her side asking if was all right and whether she was having a good time. They danced and smooched together looking adoringly into each other’s eyes. People turned to watch and raised their eyebrows. Who was this girl who had seemingly caught the heart of Niko D’Angelo?
Excerpt 3
Niko loves hers
Niko stood up, secured the towel around his waist and crouched beside her. “Honey, what do I have to do to convince you? I saw something in you back then and I see it now. It’s kind of hard to explain. You were fresh and honest and sometimes so naïve.” He put his palm to her face, stroking his thumb over her cheek. “You were everything I wanted. I’d finally met a woman with morals, integrity, stubbornness, and an ability to stand by her convictions. Everything I wanted to become was already present within you. When I lost you, I thought you had gone for good. So I’m sure, honey. I’m really sure.”
Joanna’s eyes were moist. It was not what she expected to hear. She wasn’t sure she could cope with such brave honesty.

Short Extracts
“You can only have trust in a normal relationship. Ours has been anything but normal.”
“You’re married to your career, you always were. Most people don’t want half of somebody, half a commitment.”
“It won’t always be like this,” he said.
“Maybe, maybe not. How would you feel having only half of me?”

Bio
Karen J Mossman is a grandmother, but these days that is not as old as it sounds. A grandmother can be as little as thirty-two.
Karen laughs, “It’s a long time since I was thirty-two, but we are who we are, and I have two beautiful grandchildren and a third on the way, so being a grandmother is fine.”
Besides writing, Karen is an avid reader and book blogger. She also loves to cross stitch and is devoted to her Yorkshire Terrier, Tilly. Living on the small island of Anglesey, just off the north Wales coast, she has plenty of nearby beaches to walk with her dog and draw inspiration for stories in her head, which may, or may not come to fruition one day.
Back in 1980, Karen married the boy next door and 38 years later, it’s a decision she has never regretted!
