Blurb
Sarah Langham’s life was the epitome of normal until her dad slept with another woman when she was sixteen. It ripped her family apart.
Twenty-two-year-old Sarah has it together, though.
Waiting at the train station to go home from her first day of her first proper job out of university, she spots a man.
He is an enigma to her. She’s drawn to him, with his square jaw; buzz of hair; and his tall, solid frame, seen under the contours of his business suit. And he’s been looking at her, too. Fate pulls them together that night on a whirlwind date, exceeding anything Sarah’s experienced before. He’s even more into her than she’s into him. Finally, she wants to trust a guy for the first time since she was sixteen.
But then they discover something.
Something that meant they were never two strangers at a train station.
And it threatens to tear their future apart before it, really, ever begins.

Excerpt
When Sarah first
came home her ears had a faint ring in them, and now, in the aching silence,
they buzzed at her fiercely. Her first thought was Ah! Relative quiet for once. I’ll just sneak in and get my mobile phone.
Now she wished her dad had been doing anything else, even playing that stupid
rock ‘n’ roll music. She had a solution for that: plug in her Favourites playlist
and turn the volume up.
She
heard the first moan, whispering through the walls. She was drawn toward the
sound in her parents’ bedroom; it was like the undeniable dread of watching
someone being bullied from afar. It was being unsure how to make it stop.
But
Sarah’s mum was out, and there was definitely two people making those sounds in there. For the first few
moments, Sarah wondered if her mum had suddenly materialised here. Why else
would her dad be moaning in sync with that female voice, and the bed legs be
screeching in that way?
She
remembered arriving into the silence that had encased her, replacing the
throbbing sounds from the party she’d just been at, thinking it all seemed too quiet in here.
She
was right.
Sarah
felt the blood drain from her face. A sense of nothingness washed over her as
she braced her palm to the wall outside her parents’ bedroom, narrowly
preventing her wobbly legs from taking her down.
What
should she do?
She
willed her ears to block out what she heard, but she knew sticking her fingers
in the holes wouldn’t help a bit. And her dad didn’t deserve to be the reason
she harmed herself if she poked inside too hard.
Sarah
wished she could run, but instead her feet stayed rooted against the wall, and
she shivered at the choice she had to make. What would she do, tell her mum
that she could hear the bed creaking against the frame, that her dad’s friend
wasn’t trying to be quiet at all?
The
sounds triggered a memory. She’d caught a weird text message when sitting at
the kitchen bench, her playing with her dad’s phone, her mum still at work. Her
dad had snapped his mobile phone from her fingers and told her to go to her
room. Her shock back then debilitated her choice to tell her mum. Her voice
didn’t work when she tried to speak, and her throat was tight even when she
swallowed. Now, hearing what was happening behind the wall, she had no idea
where to even begin.
Sarah
clamped a hand over her mouth in case she sobbed loudly, forced her other hand
to push her from the lure of the wall where she had been frozen, and to walk
herself out the front door.
Back
to that party. Back through the shadows of darkness and odd orbs of light,
along the sidewalk, back to the noise and the alcohol, and the people trying to
forget their responsibilities.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Interview with Author Rebecca Berto
What inspired you to write Entwine?
I was in a bit of a rut and my friend
suggested to free write to help. So I downloaded a program that blocked out my
screen and had a serene and freeing vibe to it. And I wrote.
I wrote one scene and then during my second
free writing exercise, I ended up continuing that same character and story.
Fearing I’d get in a rut again if I turned it into a novel, I continued to
write random scenes until about 10,000 words along.
Then I knew I had something special and I had to create a novel. The two main
characters excited and ignited a passion in me I hadn’t felt for a while.
I have to thank my friend for the reason Entwine exists. It turned out
beautifully, thanks to the way I approached it differently than I have to my
writing in the past.
Tell
us about your main character.
Sarah is an every-girl. She isn’t a virgin
but she hasn’t slept with the whole town, she isn’t stuck up, or overly
reserved, and she isn’t whiny.
Sarah is fresh out of college, starting her
dream job but in her personal life, she’s stuck from moving forwards by hurt in
her past. When she meets an amazing guy one night, she fears he’s too good since
Sarah’s nothing special. It’s the simple, yet realistic quality about her I
really connected to.
Sarah is understatedly unforgettable.
Who
does your book appeal to?
Entwine is a unique one to classify.
It evokes a dream-like style at times; in
other scenes it’s emotionally devastating with the hurt Sarah feels; and
sometimes it’s so damn hot your screen will be in danger of igniting into
flames.
If you love your sexy reads and your
emotional stories, Entwine is a great
balance between that.
