**TRIGGERS** Profanity – Mature Scenes – Violence
The Power of Us is the first installment of the Us Duology.
This steamy, NA Romance, told from both Cassidy and Harly’s points of view, allows the reader to experience emotions and thoughts from two vastly different characters.
Cassidy and Harly’s journey is filled with emotional struggles, but there’s no denying that these two are stronger together.
Life has a way of testing us, pushing us, and sometimes even breaking us.
Love has a way of sewing us back together ~ if we’re brave enough to allow it.

The Power of Us is the first book in the Us Duology series written by author Skylar Shoar. This is the author’s debut novel, and it tells the story of Cassidy Knite and Harley Ashbey. Cassidy’s parents passed away when she was eleven years old, and since she didn’t have any living relatives, she went to live in foster care. Cassy worked very hard in school and was accepted to Columbia University.
Cassy’s dream is to be a journalist at The New York Artefact. So, when an opportunity came up to win an internship at the Artefact, Cassy was hopeful for the opportunity. She was very excited when she heard she earned one of the positions. Unfortunately, her rival Roxy won the other one.
Harley Ashbey is the publisher of The New York Artefact. His father used to be the publisher before he retired, and Harley worked hard to earn the right to take over. He has always been a workaholic, that is until he meets Cassy.
Harley and Cassy fall fast and hard for each other, but they face many obstacles. Can their love for each other be enough, or will they be torn apart by those against their relationship?

I am a Romance author with a deep passion for bringing multifaceted, imperfect, and deeply personal characters to life.
Born and raised in sunny South Africa, my travels took me firstly to England and then to New Zealand, where I settled for ten years. Upon return to England with my husband and two boisterous sons, I left the corporate world behind and took on the new adventure of being a stay-at-home mum.
In my spare time, I love to bake for my family (anything chocolate is a hit in my house), read, spend time with my amazing circle of friends, and of course, submerge myself in the creative pool of bringing characters to life and threading narratives together.
If you enjoy long Romance novels, then the Us Duology could be exactly what you need!
