Dawn, author of Everything I Miss At Home
(Xlibris)

Everything I Miss At Home is a sexy and dramatic thrill ride that’s emotional highs and lows race like a roller coaster. Karma, lust, ambition, greed, and life collide as fading athlete Nikki Brown, her corporate-upstart girlfriend Erin Powell, and Erin’s sexy assistant Devyn McAllister play winner take all with life, and each other.

The debut novel from author Dawn is a deliciously addictive narrative that feels like a dark fantasy solidly in touch with real life. Dawn effortlessly directs Everything I Miss At Home from the boardroom, to the bedroom, and to the streets crafting a suspenseful, salacious, and soul-stirring look at love and life through the character’s eyes.

Each perspective is distinct, raw, edgy, and unfiltered as the intimacy of each character comes alive off page after page.
