From Goodreads:
The much-anticipated sequel to the Top 10 bestselling new adult romance Forever Innocent.
“How do I tell the woman I love that I fathered a son with a prostitute?”
After four long years of separation, Gavin has finally reunited with his childhood love Corabelle. She’s forgiven him for leaving her during the funeral of their seven-day-old baby, and also for where he ended up — in Mexico to get a vasectomy.
But a message from Rosa, a prostitute he met the day of his surgery, brings his life to a crashing halt. She claims Gavin has fathered a son, now three years old and living with her cousin in Ensenada. He doesn’t know if he can trust Rosa, who never mentioned the boy before, or if his delicate reconciliation with Corabelle can withstand the shock if it is true.
Corabelle believes their future together is the right thing despite their past. But when she learns of this other child, the one thing she lost long ago and might never have again with Gavin, Corabelle’s faith that her life will ever follow her old dream is shattered. To make things right for Gavin and his son, she just might have to let go of the only person she always believed would be her forever love.
Forever Loved is the heart-wrenching conclusion to Gavin and Corabelle's passionate story.

On Writing Tear Jerkers
By Deanna Roy
Author of The Forever Series
For my first 27 years, I was considered something of a Pollyanna — one
of those bubbly ultra-optimistic people who spout platitudes about silver
linings.
The first chink in my happy-armor becomes evident in the pictures from
Christmas 1997. My then-husband and I had been trying to get pregnant
since April, and I had envisioned that holiday as very different with a
baby’s imminent arrival. But I had not made any progress at all, only a
pile of negative home tests collecting in the bin.
I don’t even fake a smile. I’m just sort of there, my hair all twisted up in a
knot, standing by a tree I felt forced to decorate.
I didn’t know that in this picture, I am actually a few days pregnant, and
that I had no idea — really, no clue — what sorrow really was.
In the next five years I would see three babies die in various stages of
pregnancy. I would also give birth to two daughters, both under stressful
conditions that were a far cry from the happy moon-belly experiences we
are sold in maternity magazines.
I was a writer long before I was a mother, and it was a natural fit to
chronicle my experiences. As I became more involved in the baby loss
community, I heard many more stories, and so often I would think — I
could not have survived that.
But survive we do, and I think when choosing a tear-jerker book, it’s that
same catharsis at the end. If you have endured a lot in your life, you can
think to yourself — I understand what this character went through. You
feel camaraderie, a connection with a fellow traveler. If the book takes
you someplace darker than you’ve ever been, you can feel as though you
have been lucky, that life has smiled on you. Either way, you leave the
book feeling a little differently about your own existence.
I knew that the first book in my series, Forever Innocent, was going
to wreck people. It’s hard to imagine how it feels to disconnect the
ventilator from a seven-day-old baby, but this book takes you right there.
With the second book, Forever Loved, I hope to step a little bit away
from the tragedy and focus on the healing. Early readers say you cry
just as much, but for a different reason. Watching two people take a bad
situation and turn it around is a different form of emotional release.
I am so grateful to have had so many companions on my journey.
If you are a baby loss mom, you can meet them at A Place for Our
Angels. Book fans can chatter at the Facebook Page for the series or on
Goodreads. If you want to read excerpts as I write my books, join the
I know now all our lives will include some sorrow. I hope that yours
finds joy in equal measure.
