February 3rd – February 9th
Synopsis:
On the heels of tragic loss, the stunning and innocent
Natalie Mason, meets handsome business mogul Mac Carter. As Natalie attempts to
pick up the pieces of her shattered life, circumstances beyond her control draw
her and Mac into a situation she wants kept secret. The two are a matched set
having both experienced immense loss in their lives. Uncertain of what she
should do, she decides to give fate a chance, opening her heart to Mac, who
just wants to love her.
But the past, who often times takes no prisoners,
rears its ugly head in a double dose. Mac’s ex-girlfriend cannot accept that
their love affair is over and takes drastic measures through deception and
blackmail to ensure that Mac will be hers.
Natalie, on the other hand, has to face the one
responsible for her sister’s death. As her journey begins to bring justice and
closure, the past transports to her feet an unexpected surprise—a long lost
love desiring to posses her as his once again.
Will Mac
and Natalie’s newly blossoming love be able to endure what the past has
delivered or will the victors of their hearts be the old flames who are staking
their claim?
Excerpt:
“Mac,” I said,
shaking his shoulder. “Wake up.”
Mac began to
stir, but he wasn’t fully waking up. I went toward the drapes and pulled them
open, inviting the bright sunshine to illuminate the room, but had to cover my
eyes from the searing pain in my head, opening them had created.
“Oh, my head.
Close the drapes…please,” he murmured.
“I need you to
wake up and tell me what happened last night, Mac.”
“What do you
mean, what happened last night?”
“I have a ring on
my finger that tells me something happened. A ring on my left hand ring finger.
Did we do something crazy? Do you remember?”
Mac sat straight
up in bed. The sheet pooled around his hips revealing his upper body. His bare
chest looked like a work of art sculpted by Michael Angelo. I had thought he
was good looking with his sandy brown hair, big blue eyes, Hollywood smile, and
the slight beard framing his face, but I had no idea his clothes were hiding
all that. Mac swung his legs out of bed and got up, revealing the whole package.
Every part of him looked like it had been chiseled by a master. I tried to
avert my eyes as he walked past me, but I couldn’t tear them away. Mac was one
magnificent man.
When he came out
of the bathroom a few minutes later, he was wearing the other bathrobe, looked
like he’d washed his face, and had a hand towel around his neck. He looked like
he had taken a minute to regroup. I was a little disappointed he was covered
up, as part of me would have liked another viewing of his muscled physique. I felt
myself turning crimson at my own lustful thoughts of him.
“How about some
water?” he asked, as he reached for an overpriced bottled water the hotel
supplied. Obviously, for times like this.
“Thanks,” I said,
as he handed me a bottle.
We both took a
moment, and I drank practically half of it in one long gulp.
I frowned at him
and asked again, “Do you know what happened last night?”
“I think we got
married last night.”
“What?” I
practically screamed at him.
“Take a look for
yourself,” he said, lifting a piece of paper toward me. I took the paper out of
his hand and sat on the sofa next to him, staring at it, blinking my eyes, as
if that was going to change what I was seeing. Sure enough, it had both of our
signatures on it and indicated we were married.
“This can’t be.
We can’t be married,” I said, as I stared at the piece of paper that somehow
had to be a joke.
“I’m afraid it
can be. We got married last night.”
“Do you think
anybody knows? Do you remember any part of this?”

Bio:
I have always had a passion for reading my entire
life. I love it so that I dedicated my life to educating children. As a
teacher, I have had the profound pleasure of teaching children to read and
explore their imaginations through a good book. Just recently I decided to
write a story that had been on my mind. Now I have several that I want to turn
into additional books. Writing has become a passion that I dearly love.
I live
with my handsome husband in Southern California. We enjoy the relaxed lifestyle
that California provides. We have two beautiful dogs, but no children.
