ABOUT THE BOOK:

In the midst of money, glamour and lust, lives a secret so life-changing it could rip their worlds apart

What if your old high-school flame became one of the world’s most famous movie stars and moved back to town? What if he didn’t know that for twenty years you had been keeping a secret from him—and from the rest of the world?

Heston Demming is at the peak of his acting career – an international celebrity whose face is on every tabloid. He is wealthy, drop-dead gorgeous, and stalked by the paparazzi, but beneath the polished veneer he is a man fighting for emotional survival – a man whose life is falling apart.

When he returns to his hometown of Naples, Florida, his lavish lifestyle is declaration of victory over the poverty and hardship of his youth, but deep down inside he is a man drowning in despair.

During his attempts to make restitution to those he wronged, Poppy Talbot, a woman he had left behind in his quest for money and fame, comes back into his life. Poppy still retains the same sweetness she had when they were love-struck teenagers and Heston realizes she is the one woman who could save him if he could get her to forgive and forget the past. Poppy is now an art dealer in this wealthy town; married but currently separated from her husband, and yet she had never stopped dreaming of seeing Heston again some day. What Heston doesn’t know is that she actually had vivid nightmares about it – about the consequences of a long-kept secret – one so deep that if she lets Heston back into her life it will surely rip their lives apart.

Read what critics have to say about A Chance to Say Yes:

There’s so much fakery in Hollywood, it’s hard to go back to being real. “A Chance to Say Yes” tells the story of washed up actor Heston Demming. When his life is no longer so glamorous, he has little left to live for, except his old sweetheart Poppy Talbot. But in his quest for fame, he wronged Poppy, and forgiveness is never something that comes easy. “A Chance to Say Yes” is a novel of facing the mistakes of one’s past, highly recommended.

5 stars‐‐highly recommended, Midwest Book Review

This begins an enormously complex tale that involves Heston’s two ex‐wives, his son by one of them, a bisexual and ruthless artist, husbands of ex‐wives and lovers, a turncoat “best friend” of Poppy, and other assorted ruthless hangers‐on and manipulators. With so many characters in the plot, in general it would be difficult for an author to keep the story within the bounds of understanding. However, Murray manages to weave all of them together into a story that is a joy to read. In my reading, I generally avoid romance because it is too formulaic, predictable and the journey to the obvious conclusion is unexciting. That is not the case here, while you know what the happiness result is going to be, that knowledge is almost insignificant within the twists, turns and bounces through the life of Heston. Despite his pampered life of being a movie star, Heston is a man of action when the need arises and in this story, there is a lot of need.

5 stars, A superbly written romance with a lot of nasty characters, By Charles Ashbacher

… Anyone looking for a sweet romantic tale with suspense will find it in A Chance to Say Yes. What’s intriguing is the different levels of satisfaction Murray offers. While one plot against our heroine is quickly put in motion and just as quickly quelled, another plot pulls the suspense through a variety of twists and turns as you enjoy the overall romance story. It’s all nestled among a descriptive narrative that should leave non‐Florida‐natives hungry to visit our Gulf shores. Sensory details abound bringing not just characters but scenes and surroundings to life for the reader. It’s a good paradise to get lost in.

5 Stars, Sandy Lender, author of Choices Meant for Kings

A Chance to Say Yes is like a piece of chocolate. I savored this book a little at a time, as a reward, and I was truly sad when this treat was over. I loved the fact that this was not a formula book where you can predict each turn of events. A Chance to Say Yes was truly unique. I can’t wait for a sequel.
