London, England

For the past seven years, Mary O'Connor has haunted the Ealing Broadway station each night as she stands on the platform holding a sign. The sign says simply, “Come Home Jim.” Jim is Mary's former partner and he disappeared suddenly seven years ago. Mary hopes that he or someone will see the sign and he will indeed come back to her. Most everyone shuffles past Mary, not wanting to meet her eye or acknowledge her. One night, Alice, a reporter at the Ealing Bugle, spots Mary. Alice wants to know Mary's story about Jim. But she must be careful how she approaches Mary. Alice decides to volunteer at the same crisis center where Mary volunteers when she's not working or standing on the platform holding the sign.

ANYWHERE FOR YOU shifts between the present day of 2018 and back to thirteen years ago when Mary and Jim first met. They felt connected to each other and were soon living together in London. While their life appeared good, deep down, Jim had issues with depression and drinking. Mary tries to be his savior, but does he want to be saved? The years move along as we learn more about the relationship between Mary and Jim. Seven years ago he walked out. Why did he leave? What happened to him? Meanwhile, Alice decides that she wants to find Jim. With the help of Kit, a man she also met at the crisis center, they take off in search of the missing man—but without Mary knowing what they're doing.

ANYWHERE FOR YOU is a haunting tale that will pull readers in. Mary is a sympathetic character that readers will grow to care for. She doesn't know Alice is a reporter. If she had, she probably wouldn't have talked so freely to Alice. We learn that Jim loves Mary, but he is slowly drifting away from her, and Mary doesn't see it because she is bent on saving him from his demons. Will Alice find Jim, and if so, will she bring him back to Mary? As for Alice, the road trip in the enclosed confines of the car has her and Kit growing closer. Will there be a romance blooming between them by the end?

If you love a well-written and emotional tale that has you wanting to find out the answers to the questions surrounding Mary and Jim, plus Alice's pursuit, then you will enjoy ANYWHERE FOR YOU. Be sure to grab this when it goes on sale in April 2021.
