It’s complicated is not only her
relationship status, but the definition of Erika
Bailey’s life. She loves managing her drag queen club in Bangkok, Thailand,
but her rock star boyfriend resides in North Carolina. And to top it off, her
father threatens she must stay away from Darien or lose the Pink Flamingo. Does
she protect her club or her love?

With the feeding frenzy of social media trending every
aspect of Darien’s life—real or not—it’s hard for Erika to know the truth. Will
she be able to see through the lies and trust Darien? Or will evidence from
damaging Internet rumors condemn their relationship?

Excerpt
Erika glanced around at the ultra-modern décor in
colors of black, red and gold. Suddenly her office at the club, looked old and
frumpy. “Can we talk now?” She raised a questioning eyebrow.

Miranda nodded.
Erika threw her arms out and bear hugged her friend.
“Oh. My. God, Miri. It’s so good to see you. You look fabulous. No…better
than fabulous. Turn around. Let me see you. I’d kill for that dress.”

“And you. Just look at you. Selfie.” Miri

“Which is your polite way of saying I look like
crap. Can you send me a copy? My cell’s at the hotel getting a charge. It’s
either a dead battery or a dead cell. No idea which. It’s been acting weird.
I’m rambling. Oh, Miri. It’s so good to see you.” Erika plopped on a
cushion and sunk deep into the softness. “As I said in my email, I am here
for the full works.” She pointed at her head. “Start at the top and work
to the bottom.”

“Important date, I’m guessing? Tea?”
“Your Russian grandmother’s tea?” Hope

Miranda pressed a small button. “Yes, for you,
only my grandmother’s tea. Now tell me about this date. Last I heard, you’d

Erika shook her head. “No. I knew it was coming.
I tried to help. To get him away from the drugs and the lifestyle, but he,
let’s say, fell in with the wrong crowd. He just got deeper and deeper into
trouble. He cleaned out our bank accounts, stole things and sold them. It was a
nightmare. But it’s over. He’s history. I’ve moved on.”

Bio
Daryl Devoré (@daryldevore) lives in an old farmhouse in
Ontario, Canada, with her husband, a large aquarium full of fish, a black cat
named Licorice and some house ghosts. Daryl loves to take long walks up her quiet
country road, snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along
the St. Lawrence River. She’s touched a moon rock, a mammoth and a meteorite.
She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a
helicopter and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and
Daryl’s having fun living it.
