COMING HOME
BY PRISCILLA GLENN
Adult Contemporary Romance
Expected release January 21, 2014
Leah Marino hasn’t been on a date in two years. After discovering the man she loved had manipulated and deceived her, she refuses to even entertain the idea of a relationship. Instead, she focuses her attention on taking care of her family, a role she’s assumed since the death of her mother and the one place she knows her kindness won't be taken advantage of again.
When a nostalgic trip back to her childhood home results in a chance encounter with Danny DeLuca, a smart-mouthed mechanic who’s as attractive as he is mysterious, Leah's carefully cultivated walls begin to crumble. She finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Danny, despite his unreliable behavior and mixed signals.

She finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Danny, despite his unreliable behavior and mixed signals.
But Danny has a secret...
One that could shake Leah's already precarious foundation and bring her world crashing down around her. Suddenly, she's faced with an incredibly difficult decision--is she willing to risk everything for the chance at finding the love she's always wanted? Or are some obstacles just too big for the heart to overcome?

Author’s Take on Danny
DeLuca
By Priscilla Glenn
Danny DeLuca
is “the perfect combination of cute, but sexy. Pretty, but rugged. Exuding a
gentleness, but at the same time, radiating a raw sex appeal.” He’s described
as tall with black hair, and eyes that are “shockingly blue” against the dark
tone of his hair. And the cherry on top? A pair of dimples that make Leah feel
like her veins are full of helium whenever they appear. When he’s not working
underneath a car and cursing like a sailor, he’s taking care of Gram and
apologizing for his friend’s crude behavior. He is a walking, talking,
delicious dichotomy.
Danny is
passionate about everything he does; he works hard, fights harder, and loves
with his entire being. He can be moody and unpredictable at times, but he is
extremely loyal to those he cares about and will do anything to protect them or
make them happy, even if he suffers as a result. There are events in his life
he’s still struggling to move on from, but despite his traumatic experiences,
he has managed to maintain a level of sensitivity and kindness. (Although,
you’d be remiss to mistake his kindness for weakness.)
Unknown fact about Danny: When I first wrote Coming Home, it
was done in first-person point of view with Leah as the narrator. It wasn’t
until I went back and gave it an overhaul that Danny’s point of view made an
appearance, and holy hell, there was so
much he wanted me to know about him. I totally fell for him while writing his
perspective, which in turn gave me a deeper understanding of Leah.
Author’s Take on Leah
Marino
By Priscilla Glenn
Leah Marino
is described as being five-foot-seven with chocolate brown hair that falls past
her shoulders in subtle waves, and deep green eyes surrounded by a fringe of
thick lashes. Danny would tell you she had “one of the most incredible bodies
he’d ever seen…slim waist, phenomenal chest…long and lean, with gorgeous
feminine curves in all the right places.”
Leah walks
the line between confident and insecure. She’s got a quick wit and can
smart-mouth with the best of them, yet she doesn’t always trust herself to make
the right decisions. After some poor choices in her past left her scarred and
rattled, Leah strives to right her wrongs, protecting and nurturing the good
things in her life. Her devotion to her family is one of her defining
characteristics; she loves deeply and wears her heart on her sleeve, which
makes keeping it guarded that much more difficult (especially when Danny DeLuca
is around).
Unknown fact about Leah:
Leah can remember the exact moment she decided she wanted to be an English
teacher – the day they analyzed Andrew Marvell’s poem To His Coy Mistress during her junior year of high school. That was
the moment she realized the power words could have; how someone could take
simple, everyday phrases and put them together to create this beautiful
universe on a piece of paper, just waiting to be traversed and explored and
experienced.
