Love in Destiny: Book 4
Publication Date: September 2, 2025
Shay Lazar was a childhood TV star and a 1990s “It Girl,” but left the spotlight to raise her two kids and be the supportive partner to “America’s Sweetheart,” Jack Cole…for almost thirty years. Now she wants back into the Hollywood Machine at fifty-two but the producer for show she wants to do called her Jack’s “Doormat”. Now she’s reassessing her life by hiding at her aunt’s house in Destiny, Florida, after a very publicized and possibly a career-ending incident.
Drew Slater wants to be left alone. The former ‘One-Hit-Wonder’ will never play his song again. He’s pretending his life is settled, but when a star falls out of the sky and onto his boat, he knows a hurricane is coming, and her name is Shay Lazar.
Songs, Sails & Silly Dating Schemes is a steamy over-40 romance set in the magical town of Destiny with Yacht Rock vibes and a Fake Dating Trope gone right with a stunning Hollywood Ending. SS&SDS is the fourth book in the “LOVE IN DESTINY” Romance Series.
Shay Lazar finds herself out of sorts and in need of a do-over after an epic public meltdown. Her refuge is the small beach town of Destiny, Florida.
Author Cindy Kehagiaras delivers a contemporary romance featuring mature characters in Songs, Sails, and Silly Dating Schemes. It is part of a multi-author five-series set in the same beach town.
Shay wants to revive the acting character she put on hold after having children, but the roles are less than optimal. She encounters Drew Slater, who walked away from a music career, and has regrets of his own.
One of those regrets may be an agreement to pretend to be Shay’s lover in an effort to demonstrate she is more than a washed-up doormat. He’s got his own little truth bomb that will make their spark interesting.
Songs, Sails, and Silly Dating Schemes shakes up a man’s quiet life by sending him a woman who rocks his world.
My writing journey began after my 50th birthday, and the pandemic lockdown allowed me to write. Some of my stories have haunted my dreams for decades. When the characters shouted day and night, I knew I had to write about them. My stories are mostly later in life romances with suspense and mystery.
My previous lives have been in advertising, fashion, and small business owner. I’ve made it my life’s ambition to push through dyslexia and make my midlife dream some true. I am a native Los Angeleno.
