Taking a Moment
New adult and college romance BOOKS




Leigh Anne Klein, came from privilege and luxury, but her parents shared the bare minimum with her. Belonging to that family came with a hefty price. A price that she pays in her freedom and voice. Armed only with her trusted rust bucket, Big Blue, her tiny home, and her Maine Coon, she sets off on a journey of discovery, adventure, and solitude. That was until she was drawn to the aroma of lavender.
Theodore Collins, a self-made man, who sees the error of his ways in the eyes of a lost soul. Tortured and cynical all of that changed the instance he heard her singing on the boardwalk, strumming a guitar as tattered as his own heart.
Ethan Klein, a man of little words, feelings, or emotions, but he wasn’t always this monster his family created. He’s made many mistakes, but he never regretted falling in love with his wife, Leigh Anne. He wants to be redeemed and the only road to redemption is through his wife, and he will use any means to become whole again.
Life can be painful and noisy. But silence and serenity can be found in the sweet aroma of lavender.



Meet author Laurie Oknowsky
Laurie began writing at a young age - mostly recording her life in a journal. Then a couple years later she would write poetry and quotes. Not truly realizing where that would take her, at first she didn’t share her writing until her senior year in high school. She was surprised how well her poetry was received.
Writing was always a secret passion - never thinking she’d be taken seriously, she kept it to herself until college. After failed majors she settled on English, a cover up to what she really wanted to do - write professionally.
As she was a community writer on both Wattpad and Inkitt, she didn’t give much thought of getting published traditionally until she was starting to see she was trending and began to see themselves in her fictional characters.
