Winner, 2015 Beverly Hills Book Award for Women's Fiction Honorable Mention, Paris Book Festival Sometimes life brings you to a split second when you suddenly understand everything is about to change forever. On a cool October evening in 1994, attorney Karen Moon enters an enchanting little jazz club, in San Diego and unexpectedly falls hopelessly in love with the star attraction, trumpeter Stan Benedict. Although Stan is a world class flirt, who has every woman in the audience longing to go home with him, Karen hears a deeper truth in his music. Behind the performer's confident, shallow mask is a vulnerable, lonely man longing to be loved. Karen risks her chance of partnership at Warrick, Thompson by secretly crossing ethical boundaries to save the club from destruction by her client, Waterfront Development. She and Stan begin a tumultuous affair that culminates in an unplanned pregnancy and a hasty marriage. But their relationship is increasingly threatened by the demands of Karen's job as a highly paid securities lawyer and by the rising crescendo of Stan's frequent infidelities. Through mounting heartbreak, Karen struggles to hold on to Stan until they are swept apart by a tide of personal and professional loss. Thirteen years later, longing for forgiveness, Stan reappears in Karen's life. Now a superior court judge and married to Warrick, Thompson partner Howard Morgan, Karen is faced with Howard's threats to destroy her if she leaves their marriage. Ride Your Heart 'Til It Breaks is an unforgettable, intricately woven tale of passion, loss, self-discovery, and redemption.
