Making Shadows With Their Footprints

S.M.R. Burton

Norah doesn’t believe in coincidences, so when she breaks one of her cardinal rules with James, she can’t help but wonder if the universe placed him in her path for a reason. Haunted by the fear of her own impulses and prior experiences that have left her convinced she's incapable of lasting love, Norah hesitates to let anyone too close. But as James begins to break down her defenses with his easy charm and understanding demeanor, Norah finds herself questioning the walls she's built around her heart.

James, plagued by unresolved grief, avoids emotional entanglements as he travels, finding solace in fleeting encounters. Yet, when Norah unexpectedly becomes a source of comfort and support, James faces the pain of his loss and reevaluates his priorities. As their connection deepens, James realizes he may be ready for more than just transient encounters on the road.

As Norah and James navigate the complexities of their burgeoning romance, they find themselves embarking on a journey of self-discovery, confronting their fears, and challenging their beliefs. With each revelation and obstacle they face, they delve deeper into the mysteries of their connection, grappling with the supernatural forces that seem to bind them together. When Norah's secret threatens to unravel everything they've built, they must confront their pasts and make difficult choices about their future. Can they find a way to overcome their inner demons and forge a path toward lasting happiness together?

About the Author

S.M.R. Burton

Sara (S.M.R.) Burton started writing at a young age. Crafting stories in a wide-ruled, yellow notebook about her life, and the lives of her friends, it makes sense that she now writes romance and literary fiction novels that take a deep look into the dynamic of human connection.
She’s from small-town USA, born in Indiana, and growing up in Michigan, she’s spent the majority of her life in the Midwest.
When she isn’t writing, she is editing…just kidding, well, not really. Sara is a self-proclaimed nerdy, weird girl, who will always remain true to her authentic self. She has spent time crafting a space for writers, in her writing club “Wrevenge of the Nerds” on Discord, as well as on her social media platforms. She’s a mental health warrior who has adopted the mission of helping others to feel seen. And while any of the above is going on, there will always be music playing in the background, as she is an avid music lover.
