Merri Hiatt      Merri Hiatt grew up in a small town near Shasta Valley in Northern California. Upon moving to the Pacific Northwest in Washington state, Merri fell in love with the mountains, ocean, rain and lush greenery.Merri credits her high school creative writing teacher for giving her the nudge to pursue writing. Never being one for formulaic writing, prose was always Merri's favorite choice for poetry.  Merri has written five books: Penelope's Passion, Purity, Shadow's Edge, Musings by Merri (a book of poetry) and Meg (the second book in The Friends Trilogy consisting of Purity, Meg and Courtney).

Purity Zyetta is about to find out if the 27-day job interview she just endured will land her the position as Events Coordinator at The Kids’ Place. Her future hangs in the balance. Not only because she desperately wants the job, but because board member Alex McCallister has found his way into her thoughts and dreams.

 

Will Purity be able to trust a man again after what Derek Worthington put her through? Even a restraining order hadn’t kept him from contacting her and making menacing threats. And, he was still out there somewhere, waiting.

 

Is it possible to run into the arms of love, even when your common sense tells you not to? Purity believes it is. Together with her friends, Courtney and Meg, Pure will soon find out that change requires a strong spirit and a willingness to learn from the past and embrace the future.

Merri says:   "I am a lover of all emotions. They swim and spin around my head with abandon. What fun to let the words these feelings bring forth play along my tongue and whisper into the still of the night. When I capture them on paper it is a joy and one of my favorite ways to spend time."
