The Path of Least Resistance: Book Two of The Shooting Star Series

The deadly actions set in motion by Collin St. Germain during the Gulf War created a catastrophic chain of events, resulting in an IED triggered homeland terrorist attack over a decade later. In 2008, Fort Bliss was targeted by one of its own: Army Captain Burak Yilmaz. When it’s discovered that Collin’s wife has close ties to the Captain, she is thrust into the spotlight of a national investigation that leaves her scorned by the nation. Now, the time has come for her to confess what happened—what really happened with her marriage, her trial, and Captain Yilmaz—to the new love of her life before the couple embarks on a perilous mission to Africa. But, when movie star James Bayer learns the truth about what haunts Lauren St. Germain, will he still want her in his life?

Leah Downing lives in Phoenix, AZ with her husband of seventeen years, Kevin, and her two teenagers (blah blah blah). Her diverse resume serves as inspiration for the complex stories of The Shooting Stars Series. During her forty-plus years on Earth, she has been employed as a server, a belly dancer, a choreographer, a federal investigator, a bartender, a yoga teacher, and a psychic medium--all of which she put forth her best efforts and none of which she regrets. Ms. Downing possesses the ability to convey unfiltered emotions in an accessible way, allowing her readers to become immersed in stories that touch upon shared experiences. Her writing is true, raw, sometimes pointless, sometimes profound, and very often funny.
