“Touching and organic…Tucker unerringly strikes all the great records of romance-the spark, the emotional depth, the mental and physical struggles-while developing a couple who seem perfectly attuned even when they are in conflict.” -Publishers Regular (starred review)

Twenty-four-year-old truck stop waitress and one mother Catherine Wright has simple goals: to give her five-year-old daughter a content life also to never again be the talk of the town in Balsam, Pennsylvania (population three thousand on the subject of Until it Fades: A Novel beyond tourist season).

And then one foggy evening, on the lonely street back from another failed time, Catherine saves a man’s life. It isn’t until following the law enforcement have showed up that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has rescued: Brett Madden, hockey icon and media darling.

Catherine has already had her fifteen minutes of fame as well as the very last thing she wants is to have her history dragged back to the spotlight, only this time around on a country wide stage. Therefore she hides her identification. It works. For a time.

However when she sees the person she saved standing on her doorstep, desperate to thank her, all that changes. There’s an instantaneous connection, and it’s more electric than the connection of two different people who endured a traumatic event. It’s something neither of these expected. A thing that Catherine isn’t sure she are designed for; something she is afraid to trust.

Because how longer can a fantastic guy like Brett be thinking about an ordinary girl like Catherine…prior to the spark fades?
