Sunday’s Author Spotlight: Kaisa Clark

Alexa Clausen has never fallen. She’s never soared. She’s
lived her entire life floating midway between passion and despondency, never
experiencing those extremes. But all it takes is one evening with Adam
Westbrook to draw her out of her shell, to leave her feeling bold for the first
time ever. He is fiery and magnetic. He is gravitational, that inescapable pull
no one can avoid. After a few chance encounters, Alexa finally accepts that she
can’t stay away, can’t deny the electricity she feels every time he comes
around.

But as the intensity between them deepens, she also can’t avoid the subtle
hints that Adam is hiding something. His wide smile and radiant eyes obscure
some burning secret, some detail of his past that resurfaces to steal his joy.
The farther Alexa falls, the more she realizes just how little she really knows
about Adam and how far he is willing to go to cover up the truth.

Calm Like Home is a story about love and longing, growth and stagnation,
discovering one’s counterpart but losing oneself, and ultimately finding that
one person truly has the power to change everything.

This book is available through Amazon.

The early hostess ends up running late so I’m covering
the host stand when Damien strolls in through the door. Even in his work
uniform, he looks every bit the confident frat boy. He has one hand casually
tucked in his pants pocket, the other swinging languidly at his side. His tie
is loose at his throat, his light brown hair tousled on his head, lips curled
into a relaxed don’t-give-a-fuck smile. He nods towards me at the host stand
then saunters towards the back, likely in search of some new prey to poke fun
of.

And then there’s Adam, his dark head poking through the
doorway. Suddenly the room is filled with him, with his energy, with his light.
I drink him in, soaking in every detail. His crisp, white dress shirt fits him
perfectly, lightly skimming over the muscles in his chest and arms and tapering
where his waist narrows. The lightness of the shirt is the perfect contrast to
his tan skin, to his dark eyes.

His gaze slowly sweeps from the floor to my face, and if
seeing the four letters of his name earlier was enough to give me butterflies,
seeing him now is like being hit by a freight train. It’s been three hundred
days and yet everything slams back into me at once. The way his brown eyes
sparkle when he smiles, how one corner of his mouth turns up a little higher
than the other. And this smile is all for me.

His stride quickens as he approaches and I can’t help
myself. My face breaks into an obvious grin, completely full-toothed and
pinched-cheeked. So much for playing it cool. 

“Look who’s back!” I call out, hearing my voice light up.
Being around him instantly lifts me. This is what he does to people; it’s what
he’s always done to me.

“What an emotional
roller coaster this book took me on! This book was so well written it was like
the story was actually happening to me instead of the main character, Alexa.“

“Calm Like Home
definitely gave me a book hangover. I finished the book and had to get my
emotions in check before I could start another book.”

– Word Forward

“Really, the ups
and downs of the story couldn’t have been more perfect. Kaisa Clark did an
amazing job. The story was sweet at times, but very real and raw. I loved it.”
