"This Side Of Forever" is a novella included in BOUQUET (a Mother's Day anthology).
Everybody knows that mothers are angels, and that mother always knows what's best -- or at least that's what they would have us believe. For Rhonda and William, their mother's best efforts mean challenges of the most romantic kind. Throw in the vested interests of William's children, a sexy case of mistaken identity, a little corporate intrigue, and you've got the makings of love for a lifetime and a tale worth remembering.

Gail,
You are such a talent. I started Dream Runner on Tuesday and I am already on page 257. I LOVE IT. You give such good detail and description that I can picture all the characters in my head like a movie. I'm so impressed and excited that I've been sneaking reads at work between emails and phone calls. Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Oh, yeah...I forgot to ask...can I get the name and number of the HOTTIE on the cover...LOL...SHHH...just don't tell my hubby...just kidding...but I do love the cover...the design and the black and white photo...very nicely put together...Happy Reading :-)
