The Next Generation Series Book 1
 
Annette Mori
 

Despite Toni’s legendary brilliance, even she could not stop the march of time. After learning her daughter, Joy, and Joy’s two best friends, Pepper and Alina, attempted to deceive the senior agents in The Organization with a bogus Spring Break cover story, she convinces her wife it’s time to let the Next Generation take over.

The last thing Pepper Maggio expects after agreeing to lead a mission is literally running into the woman she’s followed for years. Not only is Grace Turner beautiful, but she’s a passionate crusader for the same innocents that The Organization vows to protect. Along with her two best friends, the three young women embark on an adventure to save the day. But the mission quickly gets out of hand as the human traffickers target not only Grace and her film crew, but also the young Mexican woman who managed to catch Alina’s eye. Maria might be the bravest of the bunch as a survivor of one of the Mexican mines, but she’s a sitting duck if they don’t intervene. They might be the Next Generation, but they’ll need the full support of The Organization, including Pepper’s lethal mother, Val, to get out of Mexico alive.

Growing up, I always had a pencil in my hand. Writing was all I wanted to do when I wasn’t riding my horse. Through my writing, I could create these epic characters and a world that I’d get lost in. There I could experience the things I wasn’t able to in the real world. A family I wish I had or love I so desired.

I always wanted to be an author. But life happened, and I’d find a rewarding career.  2020 came and life got turned upside down. After nearly two decades of working for this organization, I had to walk away. But what I took away from the years of providing services to the folks I served is they are brave every day they get up and push the barriers in front of them out of the way. I was the one putting the barriers in front of me. They taught me to go for the dream no matter what.

So, I did.

Today I’m lucky enough to be an author with Affinity. When I’m not writing, I love hiking with my German Shepherd and partner. I took up kayaking a couple of years ago and I’m obsessed with it! Camping or being near the water is how I sometimes reboot. I’m fortunate to have a partner and friends who enjoy the same!

Strength Within is the story of Samantha Wilson, a young woman with a past that keeps her from living the life that she wants. She has a deep passion for being the voice of others and takes assignments throughout the country. She swore off ever returning to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But a project would take her back there and on a journey that would help her find purpose.

Sammie moved away and made a successful life for herself. But her struggle to free herself from the things that held her back ran deep. Fortunately, her best friend, Zoë, flies in from New Mexico to be by her side while she confronts the demons of her past. Her feelings go beyond friendships, but Sammie’s walls made it difficult for her to get close.

Sammie has a knack for helping others find their happy endings. Will she finally let Zoe help her become whole again, and maybe in the process discover her own happy ending?
