Synopsis:
Come Together is the dramatic conclusion (Book 3) to the IF I FELL series.
As a couple, Timmy Hale and Cole Ledger have faced their share of brutal obstacles. To name a few, the lovers survived a vicious college stalker and conquered the pitfalls of way too much drinking and distance. The good news is that they found their way back to each other.
The men are now ready to settle into the future as a married couple, along with their lively dog, Blackbird, and their close circle of friends. But they don’t want to step into married life until their complicated family problems are behind them.
Unhappy with the couple’s significant difference in age, Cole’s son Robbie refuses to give his blessing to their marriage. His continued coldness destroys Cole. Meanwhile, the dysfunctional Hale family enters a treacherous new chapter when Timmy’s headstrong teenage niece, Lucy—the daughter of his disturbed and absent older brother, Matthew—finds herself in urgent need of a place to live.
Cole and Timmy set out to repair the family bonds that are so badly broken. Cole reaches out to his unreceptive son and Timmy prepares to welcome Lucy into their home. As they strive to repair family fractures, the couple is harassed by mysterious, threatening messages.
When Cole leaves town on a trip to rebuild the severed bond with his son, Timmy’s menacing brother reappears, desperate to drag Lucy back into his life. And if Matthew can’t convince her to leave Timmy and Cole’s home voluntarily, his plan is to destroy it.
Can Cole and Timmy find their happily ever after in the face of a family collision course? Or will the two families come together in the spirit of reconciliation?

*Excerpt*
I’m overwhelmed with fury. With every last bit of my strength, I kick the night table, and the lamp crashes to the floor. “Damn it, Timmy! You promised me the truth!”
Sweat pours down the sides of my face—I’m in a rage, so I ignore the knock on the door.
“Give me a minute, damn it!” With so much at stake, I can’t stay still, so I pace the room, stopping only to hurl one of Timmy’s sneakers at the wall beneath the window. It dents the wall.
But is this truly rage? Or is it fear? Or maybe regret?
A few minutes later when I collapse on the bed, my heart is pounding, and my eyes burn with unshed tears. But I need to focus. To concentrate on breathing—in, out, in, out…
I can’t help Timmy if I don’t get control of myself. But it’s not easy to do because I don’t think I can go on without him. He is warmth in a world that’s long been lonely and cold.
My rage continues to flare until it hits me: Timmy didn’t tell me about the latest threatening letter because he loves me so much. He saw how I suffered over my broken relationship with Robbie. And he couldn’t let me suffer for one more day, even to protect himself.
My anger dissipates into a surge of tears. “I’m gonna find you, babe. I’m gonna find you.”
I pick up my cell phone to call the police.

**About the Author**
Mia Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children–all named after saints–and five nonpedigreed cats–all named after the next best thing to saints, Boston Red Sox players. Her husband of twenty years has been told by many that he has the patience of Job, but don’t ask Mia about that, as it is a sensitive subject.
Mia focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young men and their relationships, and she believes that sex has a place in a love story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. As a teen, Mia filled spiral-bound notebooks with romantic tales of tortured heroes (most of whom happened to strongly resemble lead vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and stuffed them under her mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to Dreamspinner Press for providing her with an alternate place to stash her stories.
Mia is proud of her involvement with the Human Rights Campaign and cheers for each and every victory made in the name of marital equality. Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.
My themes I always write about:
Sweetness. Unconventional love, tortured/damaged heroes- only love can save them.
Mia Kerick focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young men within the boundaries of blossoming, supportive relationships. She believes that sex has a place in a love story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. And Mia’s stories are centered around a certain theme: even heroes can be sweet. Sweet, but not completely innocent.
