After a brutal attack leaves Mia Jones with a traumatic brain injury, she learns the key to discovering her attacker’s identity lies within her damaged brain. As she battles to recover from her injuries, she finds it’s not her fiancé by her side but her foster brother, Hank.
When navy pilot, Hank Taggart ditches his plane in the sea, he thinks the worst has happened—until he returns home to learn Mia, the closest thing he’s ever had to family, is in ICU. While struggling to accept the end of a career that defines him and battling his own medical diagnosis, he must also suppress his newfound feelings for Mia.
With Hank rejecting her love at every turn and the bad guys upping the stakes, Mia wonders which fate is worse: falling into the hands of her enemy or losing the man she loves.

Out of Sight Fun Facts
  1. The heroine from Out of Sight, Mia Jones, is loosely based on my daughter. Both are highly intelligent, professional women who suffered traumatic brain injuries. Each fought to recover and surprised a lot of people who hadn’t counted on the power of tenacity.
  2. At the opening of Out of Sight, Mia is engaged to Charles Phillip Brooks III, aka Tripp. The seersucker-wearing, Gone With The Wind throwback, is based on several attorneys from my paralegal days. I took great pleasure in seeing Tripp finally get his comeuppance.
  3. Hank and Mia first met when newborn Mia was place in the same foster home as Hank. He remembers her as pink, wrinkled, and screaming her head off. The four-year-old’s first impression of her was, “she’s just as pissed off at the world as me.”
  4. Hank tries to keep his new-found feelings toward Mia a secret. One night his subconscious mind acts out what he won’t allow himself to do while awake.
  5. Out of Sight is located in LaGrange, North Carolina. While the town is fictitious, there are many real small beach communities just like it along the Atlantic coast. If I could, I’d live on a tropical island and set every story along the shore somewhere.
  6. Tripp owns a German Sheppard named Traveler. Mia is fond of the dog and mourns the loss of the relationship with the pet when she and Tripp break up. Despite the separation, Traveler plays an important role in helping Mia towards the end of the book.
  7. Keep or Toss? When Mia cleans out her law office, she runs across a set of reference books. The gift from Tripp is a reminder she doesn’t want, but a niggling voice has her holding on to them. What she finds inside puts her another step closer to solving the mystery of who attacked her, but also places her back in the bad guy’s crosshairs.
  8. Over the years while on shore leave, Hank bought Mia numerous presents. She treasures each trinket, photo, and stuffed animal. One such gift plays an important part in Mia discovering the identity of her attacker.
  9. Mia and Hank’s favorite evening activity is movie marathons. Their favorite actors are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Robin Williams. Their second favorite activity is aggravating each other. One evening a tickling contest leads to something more…
  10. Hank and Mia attend the wedding of Avery and Titan, the main characters in Out of Bounds. There, Hank tries to set Mia up with his navy buddy, Sebastian Baron. Though she finds Bash charming, her heart belongs to Hank—even though he seems determined to reject her at every turn. Lady’s man Bash plays the good guy, provoking Hank to finally act on his feelings for Mia. Karma repays Bash with his own love when he meets starlet, Grace Carradine, in Out of Time.

When Katrina “Kat” Vallia, an idealistic if somewhat naive 20-something American pediatrician travels halfway across the globe to volunteer in a poor African village, she looks at it as a means of closure.

That’s until she encounters Dr. Julian Kiron, a handsome, career driven pediatric oncologist. Even though she tries to fight it, Kat finds herself falling deeply for him; until she painfully realizes that they both want totally different things from life. Not willing to compromise for the other, they sadly say goodbye, cutting all ties. Five years later, Kat’s happy world is turned upside down when she is given devastating news.

Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I am the author of The Exception To The Rule, An Unplanned Lesson, An Unplanned Life, Drowning In Love, A Cry for Hope, A Will To Change, Blind Side of Love, When The Chips Are Down and Easy Silence.
My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of relaxation.

Sometimes love is better the second time around.


Mia Gibbs spent her marriage putting her husband’s needs before her own. And now, after a painful divorce, she’s building a new life for herself and her two daughters back home at Firefly Lake. The last thing she needs is a man to complicate things. But former bad boy turned friend Nick McGuire has turned everything upside down.

His career has always been his focus, and after taking time out to help his mother, he’s ready to get back to the city…until Mia and her daughters arrive at Firefly Lake.

Praise for Summer on Firefly Lake:


“Has charm to spare...The delightful supporting cast...and expertly plotted story add depth and richness to this tale, leaving readers eager for another visit to Firefly Lake.” – Publishers Weekly


“Gilroy’s second Firefly Lake novel encapsulates the quaint, busybody small-town feel and the slippery slope of friends becoming lovers quite well…Engaging...(a) fast paced page turner.” – RT Book Reviews


Excerpt:


“I want this.” Mia lifted her face to his as a cloud scudded across the moon. “I want you.”
Even if it could only be for tonight, she was Mia, not a mom, not a sister, and not a wife who’d been tossed aside for someone younger and curvier. For this one moment, she didn’t have any responsibilities except what she wanted and needed.
I want you, too.” Nick took her hand and led her toward the car. “A part of me has wanted you since I was fifteen and you hung out at the town beach in that green bikini with the white flowers.”
Her heart lurched. He’d noticed her enough to remember the bikini she’d hidden from her mom. The one she’d bought because she’d heard Nick say he liked green. “You were always with the guys by the life guard station.” Everything about him was a lot sexy and a little bit dangerous.
“I wanted to see you.” His smile was forced, like the admission cost him more than he wanted her to know.
Mia curved her cold hand into his warm one. She’d guessed she’d hurt him the one time they’d gone out, but until tonight she hadn’t understood how much. She couldn’t regret the past, and she couldn’t predict the future, but she could do something about the present. “I want to be with you. Even though we’re not teenagers anymore and I don’t have that green bikini.
Nick’s gaze skimmed her body from head to toe and lingered at her breasts. Then he gave her a grin that was pure bad boy. “I was always a lot more interested in what was underneath that bikini anyway.”
He opened the passenger door for her to slide in.
She looked at him from under her lashes and flirted like she’d wanted to do all those years ago but had been too shy. “You were, were you?”
“Oh yeah.” He shut the car door and, in the sudden silence, panic rolled over her again. Except, there was excitement too…
