Lucinda must now lean on her best friend, celebrity photographer, George Creston to escape the clutches of the dangerous relationship.

to save them from the angry storm of his past that threatens to destroy their
dreams!

She soon discovers how impatient he can be, but she also can’t deny her fascination and attraction to him. Carter can’t stop watching Tara as she works but holds back from her because of his secrets. If she knew what he was, she would never want him. Could the reason for Carter’s moods be related to something more troubling than what’s on the surface?

She wishes she could run barefoot all year long, but often does anyway in grass and on beaches in her hamlet that is the cold and rainy southwest Washington.
During the football season, Debby cheers on the Seattle Seahawks along with legions of other devoted fans. She's also filled with wanderlust and dreams of visiting Denmark, Italy, and Morocco some day.

Carol Malone
Award-winning author Carol Malone has successfully combined her three passions – romance, sports, and writing in her two highly-rated books, Fight Card Romance: Ladies Night, and Ladies Night Christmas sequel. She was the first woman to write a romance for the all-male dominated genre. Carol invites her readers to scramble into a front row seat for a thrill-ride of suspense, sports, and romance. If not hammering out new tales, Carol’s loves reading, sports, and hanging with her author husband on the coast of California.
Kathy Bosman
Kathy loves reading and writing even more. She
homeschools her three kids, so in between unsuccessfully explaining the
difference between subject and predicate or how to divide fractions, she enters
an imaginary world of troubled and passionate characters whose stories take
over the page. Kathy lives in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa, where the summers
are hot, the winters cool, and bugs thrive. Her first published novel, Wedding
Gown Girl, came out in 2012 with Astraea Press. She belongs to the Romance
Writers of South Africa Group (ROSA) which has been her greatest support and
inspiration the last few years.
Robyn Echols
Robyn Echols has been writing
since she was in junior high school. By choice, she spent most of her evening
hours in her "dungeon", as her mother called her downstairs bedroom,
writing stories, only joining her family in front of the television upstairs
when her favorite programs were playing. She has spent hours learning and
teaching family history topics, and focuses on history from a genealogist's perspective
of seeking out the details of everyday life in the past. Several of her family
history articles have been published in genealogy magazines.
Now Robyn resides with her husband
in California near the “Gateway to Yosemite” and has fun researching and
writing the books that she hopes will interest and entertain her readers. She
writes Young Adult/New Adult and contemporary fiction under Robyn Echols and
adult historical romance under her pen name, Zina Abbott.
When Robyn isn’t busy piecing
together novel plots, she stays busy piecing together quilt blocks.
