Chasing Kat
Hudson River Book 3
by Jacqueline Simon Gunn

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Picture
It’s been twelve years since Kat laid eyes on Baxter Adams, her first love, her best friend, the boy who broke her heart. Though Bax shied away from commitments, Kat was the one girl he wanted to know forever, someone he would do anything for. Except date. Then in a moment that ripped both of their hearts out, they ended a friendship they thought would last a lifetime.

Now, Kat believes her past with Bax is finally behind her… until he’s hired at the magazine where she works. At first, they slip easily into their close camaraderie, ignoring events of the past. But is rekindling their old friendship enough? Or is something deeper still between them?

While Bax wants nothing more than to earn back Kat’s trust, blaming himself for the way things ended between them, he has no idea that Kat still harbors guilt for breaking a promise that changed the course of his life. And she never had the courage to tell him.

In an emotional story about long-lost friendships, passionate love and the bonds that endure, will the past that ties them together also tear them apart?

This is book three in the Hudson River series but can be read as a stand-alone.

​I perched my hands on my hips, glaring at him with the unfathomable fury you can only feel for someone who rouses your deepest passions. He awakened every part of me and repeatedly abandoned precisely what he had stirred. What a cruel game this affection was. I loved him with every ounce of my soul. And that’s why this thing he might be dangling in front of me wasn’t enough. That’s why I was through. All or nothing this time. “It’s done, Bax. You and me. I can’t pretend anymore. I can’t hold back how I feel for another second to make you comfortable.”
He inched closer, his body almost against mine. I wanted to move back but felt stuck in place, his emotional intensity holding me right there. “I want you.” He stared so deeply into my eyes I felt like he touched my soul. “I need you. It’s always been you. I don’t know what I’m doing.” He turned around, putting his hands around his head, then turned back and rested his palms on my shoulders. We examined each other, the gripping tension between us.
“What does that mean?” I asked, my stomach fluttering.
“I— you— I don’t know what it means. That’s the problem. This whole thing has me going crazy. I just know I can’t be without you.”
“You can’t have me unless you’re willing to go all the way and give us a try.” Our faces inched closer and closer; the buzz of everything around us stopped as we inhaled each other’s breath. He held my cheeks and stared into my eyes, his mouth so close I could taste him. “Kiss me,” I whispered.

Before the Footprints Fade 
Hudson River Book 2 

Picture
Amanda knows what she wants and what she doesn’t want. Raised by a mother who tore her down and made her feel unworthy, she’s now determined to finish her journalism degree and stand on her own two feet.
But when an irresistible connection tempts her, will she find the love she never had with Harry, the talented and gorgeous musician with secrets behind his eyes? Or will she once again learn that she can’t depend on anyone but herself?
In a story that delves deeply into how the past choices and unlived lives of those close to us affect our own journey and how difficult it is to change when everyone expects you to be the same as you’ve always been, there’s even more at play than Amanda and Harry’s passionate and tumultuous relationship. Lurking in the past are secrets that hold the key to and threaten to change the lives of almost everyone close to them.
Will they be able to hold on to their love, even when they are their own worst enemies? Or will the answers to long-asked questions blow their world apart?
Before the Footprints Fade is a love story that explores philosophical themes about love, memories, nostalgia and how the path not taken creates a ripple effect on the lives of those close to us.
This book is a spin-off of Forever and One Day but can be read as a stand-alone.

Forever and One Day 
Hudson River Book 1 

Picture
Everyone has wondered “what if?” But how many get a chance to live it?

Seventeen years ago, Olivia Watson’s world was turned upside down when she discovered Justin, her high-school sweetheart turned fiancé, having sex with her best friend, Petal. Unable to muster up any forgiveness, she turns her back on him and every friend connected to that part of her life, leaving many questions about the details of the betrayal unanswered.

When Olivia receives an invitation for her twenty-year high school reunion, she decides that she’s been avoiding the past for too long. It’s time to go back and revisit that part of her life, her old friends, and the betrayal that created the wedge between them.

As soon as she and Justin lay eyes on each other at the reunion, they immediately sense the vibrant remains of their unbreakable connection. The spark between them never faded. However, Justin is now married to Petal and Olivia is involved with Adam, her handsome, best-selling-author boyfriend. But is healing old wounds enough for Olivia and Justin to move forward together, or will it help them make peace with the new lives they have chosen?

Each of the four main characters remain bound to their past by unresolved issues, demonstrating that sometimes we can’t find our future until we settle our past. But, most importantly, Olivia learns that forever isn’t time eternal; rather, forever is a place we share with the people we love the most — even when they’re gone.

Does the Hudson River Series have any parallels that could be drawn from your life?

Most of the Hudson River series takes place in the towns of New Jersey that are right across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Forever and One Day (book 1) takes place in both New Jersey and New York City.
I grew up in a town called North Bergen in New Jersey, which sits right on the Hudson River. It’s a unique area of the state, because it’s so close to New York City. It’s almost more like a suburb of Manhattan. We have accents that sound almost identical to New York accents. It’s crowded. It’s intense. It’s diverse. The river and the view of the New York City skyline really make it special.
I wanted to capture aspects of New York City and the Hudson River towns in New Jersey in the series. Several characters went to the same high school as I did. Many of my friends from childhood had read my thriller series which takes place in Manhattan. I wrote the Hudson River series in the area we grew up in, for them, so they could recognize locations. I have had many old friends tell me that they loved the books, particularly because the setting was familiar and brought back many fond memories.


Which Part of Chasing Kat was your Favorite Part to Write & Why?
I loved writing the entire story. I felt all of the complex emotions between Kat and Bax. The book goes back and forth in time so readers get to see not only what happens when they meet again, but also the history of their close friendship and what caused the abrupt ending. I really enjoyed writing the scenes when they were in high school and college. Kat was a strong, spirited young girl, who had a sense of courage and conviction that I lacked at that age.
Kat and Bax meet their freshman year in high school in English class. One of Bax’s friends, Zipper, is talking about having sex with a girl in a disrespectful manner. Kat, overhearing the conversation, confronts Zipper, telling him he sounds insecure. When Zipper responds with a nasty comment, Kat gives it right back to him. Bax eventually stands up for her which is the moment when they first notice each other. This is just one example of a scene written when she is a young girl. It was liberating to write a character who was strong in a way I wish I had been at that age. ​

Hi Bernie,
It takes me between five months and a year to write a book, on average. Chasing Kat took about five months. Forever and One Day took about a year. Before the Footprints Fade took me longer than any of my other books -- two years.

​​​**Attention!**
The ONLY place you can book a tour with me is on this site at my “Book a Tour” page. I NEVER outsource to other sites, including Fiverr and other similar sites. If you book a tour there, they are scammers! Only one person, Maia, will be handling business email correspondence with the email maia@silverdaggertours.com
– if you are an author, please make sure to always email this address directly about tours!
