Enduring Love: An Outer Banks Love Story - Paperback

by Gary Drake (Author)

About the Book

The shores of the Outer Banks not only offer sandy beaches, but the perfect setting for a romance to blossom as well. In love from the moment they met, Chloe and Jonathan's feelings for one another would be stretched to the limit. When Jonathan was arrested one summer morning and charged with murder, it seemed their whirlwind summer romance had come to a devastating end.

Doomed to spend the rest of his life in prison, Jonathan relied on the adage, "If you love someone, set them free." Never one to give up, Chloe persisted. Several years later her prayers would be answered. Jonathan had finally come out of his shell of pity and wrote her a letter.

Reconnecting, their love for one another grew even stronger. Launching a new investigation into Jonathan's case, they found the elusive answers they were hoping for. However, unveiling the truth would come at a cost.

About the Author

He was drawn to writing while attending a Christmas drama the youth group at his church presented. Inspired, he began writing scripts in the early 2000s, many of which have been performed.

His loving wife Beth, who has Endured 30 plus years of Love with him, continues to stand by him in his "not so brilliant moments." Presenting him with the notion he should write a novel, the foundation was laid. Fueled by his wife's passion for the beach, a "novel" romance ensued.
