ABOUT THE BOOK
Book 1 of 3: The Raya Dossiers
What if the greatest love of your life was also a flashing warning sign?
Raya Bradford has built a full life—career, daughters, travel, friends, fashion, freedom. She works hard, plays hard, and has little interest in admitting that beneath all that motion, something in her has gone quiet.
Then she misses a flight.
A chance encounter in an airport elevator then introduces her to Nikolas “Nyck” Franz—a charismatic Austrian stranger who makes her feel seen, desired, and startlingly alive. What begins as spontaneous conversation quickly becomes an intoxicating, continent-spanning romance.
Their chemistry is immediate. The attraction is undeniable.
But they live on opposite coasts.
What begins with phone calls and flirtation deepens quickly into desire, emotional intimacy, and the kind of connection Raya had stopped believing could still happen to her. Miles apart, they begin building something neither of them quite knows how to name.
Then Nyck travels west to spend time with Raya.
What had been smoldering across the distance suddenly becomes real—touch, heat, laughter, lust, tenderness, and an awakening Raya never saw coming. Their long-distance spark ignites into something far more dangerous: love.
But Nyck is not simply mysterious.
He disappears without explanation. He takes calls he will not discuss. His past shifts depending on which question Raya asks. And the closer she gets to him, the more she senses that the man she is falling for belongs to a world built on secrets, surveillance, and danger.
Soon Raya is crossing far more than emotional boundaries. Encrypted messages, changing identities, unexplained absences, and whispered warnings pull her into a life she never intended to enter—and force her to confront one impossible question:
Can you trust the person who makes you feel most alive when everything about him tells you not to?
Mid-Love Crisis, book one of The Raya Dossiers, is a sexy, suspenseful later-in-life romantic thriller about reinvention, desire, trust, and the dangerous beauty of choosing adventure when certainty is no longer enough.
