Domino Effect
by Kristin Mayer
Domino Effect
Synopsis:
One small
movement can impact the rest of your life, like a set of dominoes lined up one
after another. It’s not until you step back and see the big picture that you
realize the damage you’ve done…
Brandt Mattox
had it all—love, success, and friends. One impulsive wrong decision led him
down a path that ended in a prison of regrets. He now only dreams of the
happiness he once had before the consequences of his actions cost him
everything.
He lost his
love—not just any love, but his soul mate.
Nikola Kingston
has worked hard to keep the past in the past while she focuses on her career
and spending time with her grandmother. On a random night, she runs into the
one man who will forever hold her heart captive. Her heart knows she still
loves Brandt, but her mind cannot forget the dreadful night that cost her the
love of her life.
Will the domino
effect of Brandt’s and Nikola’s decisions be too much to overcome? Or will the
love they never thought they would get back have an everlasting effect?

Excerpt
Glad you made it home. I missed you.”
Nikola, still in her coat, said, “Me, too.
I missed you. Seems like it took forever for me to get home. I’m so glad I drove to Memphis to catch that
flight last night. They said we were one of the last flights to leave before
they shut down the airport again.”
“If I had to wait another day, I was coming
to get you. I’ve done it before.”
It was true, I would have started driving
this morning.
I moved an inch forward and a police
officer held up his hands for me to stop. I complied. Police were out to keep
people for idling too long in front. The officer blew his whistle and signaled
for us to keep going. I pressed the gas, but we were moving at a snail’s pace
due to the congestion.
Nikola pulled the scarf down; she smiled.
“I remember. You came to get me during the last ice storm three years ago when
I was stranded on Stone Mountain. I was at that conference and the company had
put me up in a cabin. You ended up staying with me when they closed the roads
for two days. Do you remember—,” Abruptly, Nikola stopped and turned to face
the window.
I finished her sentence with memories of my
own. “I remember making love to you in front of the fireplace in that cabin. I
remember what it felt like to be inside you. I remember having you as mine. I
remember it was the first time we said, ‘I love you’ to each other. Is that
what you were talking about?”
Every chance I got, I’d remind Nikola of
how happy we were—even though she seemed to remember everything, too.
She turned my way as we continued to inch
along in the baggage claim traffic.
“It would be impossible to forget.”
Kristin Mayer Bio:
Kristin Mayer
is a wife, a proud mother, and a full-time Analyst and Import Manager. Since an
early age, she has always enjoyed reading and writing. While visiting her
father one weekend, he suggested that she should take up writing again. With
family and a career, she didn’t give it a lot of thought, until a story entered
her mind and wouldn’t leave. It just kept forming and developing over a couple
of months.
At the
beginning of 2013, she decided to sit down and write it all down, but she kept
it to herself. One sentence developed into two, and before she knew it, she had
the makings of a novel.
Kristin tries
to live life to the fullest during every moment. She loves to travel and meet new
people. She holds a degree in International Business and uses it daily in her
job. Kristin now adds “author” on her list of jobs, and feels very blessed and
thankful.
