Publisher's summary

As an investigative news reporter in New York City, Destiny uncovers breaking stories every day, but she has yet to uncover the truth of her own life until the morning she discovers a long strand of red hair on her husband's pillow. Unfortunately, the only person Destiny knows with bright red hair is her best friend, Eve.

Amid two personal tragedies and a shocking story of deceit, Destiny is sent plunging into a nightmarish depression that prompts her to flee back to her roots on Topsail Island, North Carolina—first with her husband and then by herself with the hope of healing her heart and piecing her life back together after their marriage unravels. But when fate keeps leading her back to the island's handsome police chief, Chase McKenzie, Destiny soon realizes that her racially charged past has risen up to meet a more progressive present and now opened the door for a second chance at first love. Now only one question remains: Is this the right time for both of them? Time moves on, but destiny lingers...

In this contemporary interracial romance, a heartbroken journalist embarks on a journey of self-discovery where she must overcome her personal pain and find tranquility before she can realize true love.

Great memorial Day read

I recently had to drive from Atlanta to Nashville and listened to Destiny Lingers. It was like having an old friend telling me a story. The time flew by quickly. Love the characters in the book.. Growing up at the seashore in New Jersey gives one a appreciation for clean air and nature. Family in eastern North Carolina give me a love for great barbecue. Loving everyone is the key to happiness no matter how crazy they may be, especially family. Do yourself a favor and listen to this over your Summer vacation.
Thanks My Friend Rolonda for sharing Destiny with the world.

Easy read

Simple story. The author's naivete can be annoying & unbelievable. Somewhat predictable throughout the story unfortunately.

Must Be a Movie!

This hopeful romance is for those who truly believe that love conquers all - no matter what! The laws that kept Destiny and Chase apart could never separate their love! Great summer read - or any season!

An Pleasant Surprise!

Not only was the storyline on point. It was poetic! Cat and Hope are truly the pull up friends that everyone needs to have in their life. Even the singing had me in a trance! Love the cadence of the reading from the author.

To many words

She used to many words for simple conversations the book is just ok. it could have been such a good book. You know your husband is cheating and who it is but act stupid. Girl tell him what you know and move on.
