Out of Habit by Kathleen Dutton is available on multiple online retailers. The romantic suspense novel follows Allison “Allie” Weston, a young woman raised by the nuns of St. Ives Institution since she was ten. While contemplating taking her own vows, Allie is encouraged to experience life outside the institution before making such a commitment.
Allie, like many children who grew up in the foster care system, struggles with the nightmares left behind after a traumatic childhood. She relies upon the sheltering care of St. Ives and considers becoming a nun after her college graduation. However, she is encouraged to go out into the world and experience what a secular life has to offer before answering the calling to commit her life to God.
After a chance meeting, rookie reporter Ryan Harper senses a story in Allie. The pair gets to know each other better, and as Ryan learns more of her history, he begins to suspect dark secrets lie hidden in the shadows of Allie’s past.
A Touching, Soulful Love Story

Allie faces the shattering truths of her past with Ryan by her side, choosing to “change the things we do strictly…Out of Habit.”
