<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Long ago, Rachel Carpenter was a glamorous soap star. She gave it all up to move to Napa Valley with her daughters to open up a bookstore near her family vineyard. Her life is safe and dependable, until she encounters Kane Lafferty at a wilderness camp in the rugged High Sierra. A burned-out police detective struggling with his own demons, Kane is instantly attracted to Rachel. And like Rachel, he isn’t sure if he’s ready to open up his heart. But everything is about to change…</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Someone is watching from the darkness. A fanatic obsessed with Rachel for years has decided to claim what he believes is his. It will be up to Kane to not only protect his new love and her family, but to uncover the identity of the stalker before it’s too late for all of them…</span></span><br />

<br />
This book has been a long time coming. Originally written over twenty years ago, the book has been shopped by two different agents, rejected more times than I can count and edited over and over again. The final product is a sweeping historical saga in the tradition of Margaret Mitchell and Kathleen Woodiwiss, if I may be so bold as to compare myself to those masters of the genre. The growing relationship between Nicholas and Megan pit family, faith and duty against an all consuming love. Set during a traumatic time in our history, Salem, Massachusetts at the height of the witchcraft trials provides the backdrop for the story. Historic figures mix with fictional characters in a way I hope will appeal to both fans of romance and students of history. I'm extremely proud of this book and hope everyone who reads it will feel my passion. Here's a sample. Enjoy!<br />

hers. Turning her more fully in his arms, he buried his fingers in her hair and
drank her sweetness. The first kiss was followed by a second and a third. When
the mare shifted beneath him, he forced himself to release her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tongue along the angled jaw. Cursing softly, he squeezed his eyes closed. “I’m
sorry. I wish…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here's a short excerpt:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Sadie’s found something.”
Ethan maneuvered upstream, avoiding the worst of the debris. The dog stood
still, ears perked, body quivering. He stopped. “Jesus.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Oh, no.” Sam hurried to
reach him. “Is it the hiker?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Not the one we’re
looking for.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
She stood beside him, and
the breath squeezed out of her lungs. The rounded top of a skull was visible in
the rubble below. Rib bones protruded from the earth. Spots danced in front of
her eyes, and she forced herself to breathe before she spoke. “Not Barry
Rutledge, but the remains look human.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Back, Sadie,” Ethan
said, and the dog obediently retreated a few paces. He lowered himself the last
few yards into the narrow crevice between the rocks, staying clear of the
remains. “The flash flood must have uncovered her.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Sam’s feet slipped in the
loose soil, and she landed on her knees. “A woman?” Her gaze flew to the
exposed bones. “What makes you say that?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
He squatted beside her
and pointed. “See the bit of material showing through the loose rock. Looks
like some kind of synthetic fabric, maybe from a jacket.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Sam stared at the dirty
piece of material. A hint of color was visible under the grime. “Pink,” she
whispered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Most men don’t wear pink
jackets.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Daycare owner, Miranda O’Neill isn’t
looking for a miracle. But that’s what it’ll take to convince Cole Matheson the
American Dream isn’t a trap designed to suck the life out of a man. She wants a
house with a white picket fence and babies of her own. He’s perfectly content
claiming his aging hound as his only dependent. Six months before, they’d
admitted love wasn’t enough and parted ways. But when Cole finds himself in
charge of his nephew for the ten longest days of his life, he asks Miranda to put
aside her heartache to jump into the fray. Will a demon in a diaper bring them
together—or tear them apart forever?</span><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

“So,
how was your day?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Miranda
turned away from the sun sinking below the horizon in a burst of gold and
crimson, and regarded him with a sober expression. Taking the beer he offered,
she nodded her thanks. “Pretty typical. One skinned knee, two leaking diapers,
and twelve finger-painted masterpieces. And I did call the local paper about
placing an ad for a new employee.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“That’s
good.” He took a swallow of beer and eyed her steadily. “What’s bugging you,
then, besides the fact I left you stranded with <st1:city w:st="on">Jackson</st1:city>?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“I
was a little pissed, but I’m over it. What I’m not over is this.” She spread
her arms wide. “You and me, hanging out like an old married couple discussing
our day.” She placed her beer on the table then pressed a hand to her breasts.
“It isn’t helping, Cole. It’s making me want something I can’t have.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
He
reared back. “I want it, too.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“No,
you only want <i>part</i> of it.” She
pointed at Jackson who’d crawled into the grass to sit near Tucker. The boy
threw dandelions into the air and giggled when they showered down on the dog.
Miranda’s eyes clouded. “I want it all.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“Maybe…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
“No
maybe.” Swinging around, she crossed the patio. “I’ll go make a salad, and we
won’t talk about this again.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Cole
stared after her departing back, and to his amazement, tears burned his eyes.
He loved Miranda with an intensity that shook him to his soul. But was it
enough to forgo his freedom?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt;">All the pleasures and none of the pain, that’s
what Cynthia Buckingham wants in a relationship these days. A one-night stand
with Jonah Colt seems to fit that bill perfectly. Besides, her true passion is
helping victims of PTSD reclaim their lives. Waking up after spending the night
with a woman he barely knows, Jonah is stunned to realize sex for the sake of
sex isn’t enough for him anymore. All he wants is to put the ravages of a
military past behind him to focus on a peaceful civilian life. Will he allow
himself to accept Cynthia’s help—and win her love?</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
From the very beginning, Jonah made the evening
perfect. Taking them around to her side of the car, getting her safely settled
and shut inside before he took his place behind the wheel. Then reversed the
process after they arrived at Cornell’s, a high priced seafood restaurant, with
the very best shrimp cocktail ever created.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“My favorite place. But how did you know?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
He paused to take her hand as they approached the
entrance. “Let’s just say I used my powers of observation.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Their evening together was wonderful to say the
least. So why did an unusual sense of regret slide through her every time she
and Jonah took a short break from laughing?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Because their time together like this, like a
normal, happy couple who enjoyed each other’s company—outside the bedroom as
well as in—would soon end?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Then what?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Had she so diverted from the no strings and no commitments
plan she had laid out for the rest of her life? Who knew if she had the ability
to pull it off?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
If she concentrated hard enough, she could see them
going on this way for years. When she allowed herself to imagine the two of
them together beyond the one night stand that had drifted on for the better
part of a few weeks now. Truth was, she could see them together, but not too
clearly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Life’s simple pleasures. That’s what she intended
to share with Jonah Colt. Life’s simple pleasures. And none of its pain.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First the blurb:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Chase Paladin avoids commitment like a patch of stinging nettles. He's seen how love can trample a man, and he doesn't plan to get hitched—ever. But when Honor Jackson walks into his life, hell-bent on keeping her distance, she turns his convictions inside out.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">One look at the too-handsome cowboy with laughing green eyes and a killer smile, and Honor knows he's nothing but trouble. She's come to Redemption, Texas to help an old friend, not to let another man charm her into certain heartache.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">But every time she turns around, Chase is there, and the closer they get, the more she fears he'll break her heart. So when anonymous threats make it clear that someone in Redemption wants her gone, Honor is ready to oblige. Only now Chase isn’t certain he can live without her. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Will two wary hearts take a chance on love before it's too late?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now the Excerpt:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Chase sat and took a long pull on his beer. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Maybe not. Do you want to leave?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> “Why would I want to do that? Just because a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">bunch of your ex-girlfriends are here—”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> “Only three of them.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> She ignored his interruption and drained her </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">glass. “I’m drinking vodka for courage. We’re going </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">to sing.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> “We are?” He glanced to the stage where a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">cowboy wearing a battered hat and alligator boots </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">stood at the front of the crowd, murdering a Willy </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nelson tune. “Guess I couldn’t sound worse than he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">does.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> When the last tortured notes ended, Honor </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">pulled him up on stage and flipped through the list. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“We need a duet—Leather and Lace. Oh God, I love </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">that song. Do you know it?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The way she was clutching his arm and smiling </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">into his eyes, he would have sung just about </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">anything. “I think I can manage.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Her voice was pure and beautiful. Listening to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">her croon the melody put a lump in his throat, and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he swallowed against it. He choked out lyrics that </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">asked a question. Could she love a man like him? He </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">wasn’t sure of the answer, and God help him, he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">didn’t think sleeping with Honor was going to be </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">enough. He wanted more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> She sang of love and need, giving and taking. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Her voice trailed off to hoots and cheers and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">stomping feet, but her gaze never left his. What he </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">saw in her eyes left him feeling gut punched.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> He dragged in a breath and led her from the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">stage. “That was something.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> “Yes it was.”</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“My
mom will <i>kill</i> me if she finds out
about this, Sam. Camping in a graveyard is just asking for trouble.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Samantha
Beaumont ducked beneath the low limb of a fir tree before glancing over her
shoulder at her friend. Moonlight filtered through the forest, casting shadows
across the tense set of Darby Kincade’s shoulders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Your
mom won’t know if you don’t tell her. And, hey, if she does kill you, at least
you’ll be in the right place.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Ha,
ha, you’re a riot.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“How
come you’re so grumpy? Are you afraid of ghosts?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Who
cares about ghosts? I’m more afraid we’ll get eaten by a bear.” Juliette Shaw’s
voice quavered, and she edged closer to Sam. “They won’t even know where to
look for our bodies.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Don’t
be a chicken. Bears are more scared of us than we are of them.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Doubtful,
seriously doubtful,” Darby said and slapped at a mosquito.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sam
rolled her eyes and plunged through the thimbleberry bushes. They’d lost the
trail a half mile back, but she knew where she was going. The abandoned
graveyard—if you could call a handful of toppled headstones a graveyard—was
directly below Prophet Point. Even at night, the peak was visible, a dark
shadow looming over the town of Ravenswood, nestled high in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“We
could have simply camped in your backyard if you’re so in love with the idea of
sleeping with bugs,” Juliette said. “You didn’t have to drag us all the way up
here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Where’s
the fun in that? Summer’s been a major bore since school let out. Anyway, Wyatt
dared me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Darby
stopped walking and fisted her hands on her hips. “I should have known there
was a reason for this. Your brother’s an idiot.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yep,
a complete moron, but you have to admit this is more exciting than a sleepover
at one of our houses.” Sam hesitated at a thick stand of pine trees. Maybe they
needed to head a little more to the north.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“If
you call getting eaten by mosquitoes fun.” Juliette waved her hands in front of
her face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
have repellent in my backpack.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Can
we put some on? I don’t want to get covered in bites.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sam
slid the pack off her shoulders. It hit the ground with a thump. “Good idea. We
should have sprayed down before we left the house.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“What
was that?” Darby asked in loud whisper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sam’s
head snapped up, and her hand clenched around the can of bug repellent. “I
didn’t hear anything.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Shhh,
it sounded like voices.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I
bet it’s Wyatt, trying to scare us,” Juliette whispered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Well,
it’s working,” Darby whispered back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">A
female voice echoed through the night, speaking rapidly like the tinny squawk
of a blue jay, rising in pitch. A lower voice answered, more controlled, but
something about it sent a shiver down Sam’s spine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kate Abbott isn’t looking for excitement and is perfectly content with the secure life she’s built in Seattle, even if her son thinks she’s in an uninspired rut. Former rock star Tyler North has no intention of shaking up his life on the Montana ranch where he fled years before to escape the ravages of fame and fortune. Neither plan to attend their 25 year high school reunion in Summerville, but fate throws them together on a lonely road, leading them on a journey of discovery.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">From the majesty of Yellowstone to the shores of Lake Ontario, Kate and Tyler fight unexpected attractions and old insecurities. Their journey is full of surprises and odd twists. From bison and bears to a deep crevasse and a crazy old man, they work together to overcome the obstacles in their path. But will these two opposites be able to put aside fear of change and rejection to take a chance on the promise of love?</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What if, at a time and place when you least expect it, a second chance at love and happiness comes your way? Newly divorced and soon to be empty nester, Kate Abbott ponders those possibilities as her twenty-fifth high school reunion draws near. Tyler North was the former crush she never imagined would give the shy student she was the time of day. Especially since he went on to become a rich and famous sought after singer. Turns out the woman she's become has a lot to offer the man who supposedly has it all. A conclusion he reaches as they share friendship and eventually love on a cross country trip to the reunion in Summerville, New York. Author Jannine Gallant has done an excellent job in bringing her readers along for an enjoyable ride.</span></span><br />

Nora was either spinning or falling. Perhaps both. His mouth brushed hers again.
The heat and taste of peat from the Scotch lingered on her lips as Nick placed
a series of soft kisses along her jaw, her chin. He nipped her lower lip and
pressed her against the rail, a gentle movement that knocked the air from her
chest with the promise of what was to come.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Usually, when the book is nearly finished, I have a stroke of inspiration. Often it's a line or word from the book. But this time, I'm stumped. I can't decide on the perfect title. So, I'm giving you my top four choices. Please leave a comment here or on Facebook to share your favorite. Final edits are nearly complete, and I'm getting a little desperate!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my historical from hell, written, and rewritten more times than I can count over the last 20 odd years. But, I'm loving the final version, and I hope a publisher will, too. But I can hardly send it off without a title. So, here's the unofficial blurb:</span><br />
<br />
Haunting visions have plagued Megan Pendrake her entire life, hints of the future... In 1692, Salem, Massachusetts is a hotbed of suspicion and persecution. When Megan and her brother flee England aboard a ship bound for the colonies, trouble looms. Though Megan knows to stay in Salem is courting disaster, her heart won't allow her to leave.<br />
<br />
Nicholas Thayer is mesmerized by the beautiful, quirky young woman who came aboard his boat posing as a boy. But his future is predetermined, including a fiancee waiting for him at home. When Megan faces unimaginable peril, Nicholas must make the ultimate choice between family and faith and the woman he's grown to love.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And now an excerpt:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
He reined the horse to a stop before her cabin but held firm when she tried to slide down. The moon rose above the trees, shedding soft light across the yard. Nicholas rested his cheek against her hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I wish it had been me instead of Penny,” he whispered in her ear.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Her body quivered. “It was a careless thing to do.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Need surged through him. “I want to kiss you, Megan. You can’t imagine how much.” His lips moved along her neck, caressing the smooth column. “Would it be so wrong?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Yes.” Her voice lacked conviction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“It doesn’t feel wrong.” Longing held him in a vice and made him forget his convictions. When he stroked her cheek, her skin was soft beneath his fingers. Her warm body pressed against his.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“It feels right. Too right,” she said with a gasp.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
He kissed her, his lips slanting over hers. Turning her more fully against him, he buried his fingers in her hair and drank her sweetness. The first kiss was followed by a second and a third. When the mare shifted beneath him, he forced himself to release her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Megan pushed against him and slid to the ground. “You shouldn’t have done that.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Moonlight gleamed on the white skin at the base of her neck as she stared down at her feet. He wanted to kiss the vulnerable patch, run his tongue along the angled jaw. Cursing softly, he squeezed his eyes closed. “I’m sorry. I wish…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“So do I.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Before he could answer, she ran across the porch and wrenched open the door. The solid thud of the door slamming echoed in the night. With a second curse, he wheeled his horse and galloped out of the clearing.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are my top four title choices:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before the Dawn</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Season of the Witch</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Darkest Hour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Unforsaken</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've gotten some really terrific comments from reviewers for <em>Nothing But Trouble</em>, and I thought I'd share.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From Alberta at </span><a href="http://manicreaders.com/index.cfm?disp=reviews&bookid=24371"><span style="font-size: large;">Manic Readers</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> 4.5 Stars:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the way of immovable objects meeting irresistible forces, their goals change, their conflicts are overcome, and they manage to find a middle ground for their romance. <strong><em>Nothing But Trouble </em></strong>is a cute little story, which you’ll enjoy at the beach or lake, or on your way to exotic places.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From Heather at </span><a href="http://www.sizzlinghotbooks.net/2012/05/nothing-but-trouble-by-jannine-gallant.html?zx=c47acbda9fdb4354"><span style="font-size: large;">Sizzling Hot Book Reviews</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> 4 Stars:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I adored the the characters in <em><strong>Nothing But Trouble</strong></em>, especially Honor. She's a tough as nails girl, with vulnerability that lingers just under the surface. She's caring and sweet with a lot of love to give. I admired her ability to stay strong in the face of crisis and pain. She's a heroine that you will be sure to love. On the other hand, you won't just adore Chase, you will literally fall in love with this cowboy. He's sensual, sexy, and down right hilarious. He tells it how it is, all the time, and he will never tell you otherwise. He's got this sweetness to him that he tends to hide under his masculinity, and that alone is pure awesomeness. These characters made <em><strong>Nothing But Trouble</strong></em> a fun and lighthearted romance.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From Vonnie at </span><a href="http://www.vintagevonnie.blogspot.com/p/books-ive-read.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Vintage Vonnie</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is a classic love story, full of emotion, endearing characters and honesty. It's a keeper, in my opinion. One I plan to read over and over.</span><br />
<br />

<em>In the heart of the redwoods, a madman waits...</em><br />
<br />
Recovering from a broken engagement and determined to start over, Brooke Wakefield flees to her grandmother's home deep in the redwood forest. Discovering her teenage crush lives next door is a less than auspicious beginning. The last thing she needs is another man to break her heart, but every time Dillon glances her way, her heat level soars.<br />
<br />
Dillon Tremayne isn't looking for a relationship. With a young son, an eccentric grandfather, and a logging company running him ragged, he can't afford any romantic entanglements. But Brooke's humor and strength are hard to resist.When a woman from his past is brutally murdered and another disappears, Dillon is heartsick—and terrified the killer will target Brooke next.<br />
<br />
Can Brooke and Dillon find love in the heart of the forest? Or will a madman's twisted dream destroy their chance at happiness?Jannine Gallanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351471543670022074.post-8793300197787395782012-02-16T03:01:00.000-08:002012-02-16T03:01:00.104-08:00Blog Awards Abound!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjghjaIZ9l246cBhpiWbCXLbGg7tDvg7kuLlfsWvRrhOoozjurrM3KICf5dQe4Eu3rYzpavrQy0bpj6suijcKIcF9nPHgtoWnHSU8CjXoemxWIbyt-1uKSFErJcZanmym7X5ApfzdUNlo4/s1600/sweetblogaward.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjghjaIZ9l246cBhpiWbCXLbGg7tDvg7kuLlfsWvRrhOoozjurrM3KICf5dQe4Eu3rYzpavrQy0bpj6suijcKIcF9nPHgtoWnHSU8CjXoemxWIbyt-1uKSFErJcZanmym7X5ApfzdUNlo4/s1600/sweetblogaward.png" yda="true" /></a></div>I am the honored recipient of the prestigious <strong><em>Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award</em></strong>, presented to me by <a href="http://www.sharonbuchbinder.com/blog/">Sharon Buchbinder</a>, a terrific writer and all around swell person. All the dessert recipes I've posted on my blog may have something to do with earning this distinction. LOL<br />
<br />
Receiving this award means sharing 7 random fact about me, so here goes.<br />
<br />
1) I grew up in a town of 400 people and went to a 2 room school house. K-4 in one room and 5-8 in the other. Yes, small town schools still exist!<br />
<br />
2) I live in Lake Tahoe, but I don't like to ski. I'd rather snowshoe with my dog.<br />
<br />
3) My favorite National Park is Yosemite. When I camp - I do it in a tent!<br />
<br />
4) I can't write unless the house is quiet. But I can edit when it's noisy.<br />
<br />
5) I love the smell of dirt after it rains, and trees, white and glistening with fresh snow, beneath a cold cerulean sky.<br />
<br />
6) I've never found a recipe I didn't feel the need to change at least a little.<br />
<br />
7) My dog is so spoiled, I'll sit on the carpet rather than kick her off the couch!<br />
<br />
Now that you all know how strange I am, I'm giving the award to these 10 stellar bloggers. Ladies, it's time to reveal 7 facts about yourselves and pass the sweetness.<br />
