WELCOME BACK TO THE LAST HOPE RANCH!

Newly appointed Sheriff J.C. Nash has more on his plate than investigating a mysterious fire that’s destroyed End of the Line’s beloved library. Olivia Evans, the girl he helped save from criminal mischief charges back in high school even as she crushed his heart is all grown up and back in town. Worse than the sparks that still fly between them is J.C.’s fear that they will ignite a passion he won’t be able to walk away from--like she did to him, all those years ago.
Olivia once believed if she kept moving fast enough, her family’s dark secrets wouldn’t catch up to her. But when she comes back home to End of the Line to care for her ailing mother, she’s forced to face her painful past and face the man—now sheriff—she ran from all those years ago. Unexpectedly, the town and its people begin to creep back into Olivia’s heart, giving her the sense of belonging she’s longed for. But when things start to heat up between her and the sexy sheriff, how can she convince him to trust that she won’t leave again?

NEW Launch at GET LOST IN A STORY BLOG

[image error] Starting on March 25 (yes, I chose Monday on purpose!) #storiesoftheheart launched with a wonderful story from Jane Lange!

READ IT HERE

I've  decided to launch my own grassroots effort to find stories that share positive vibes.

Over the past year, I admit I have stayed away from the social media as much as my work has allowed. I have grown weary of the negativity, nauseated at the back-biting and bullying .

#storiesoftheheart are stories of hope, empowerment, encouragement, faith, positive vibes,--feel-good stories that I hope restore your faith in humankind.

Stories from all walks of life, many experiences, and the wisdom and perspective of age. I hope they enrich your lives as much as I know they will enrich mine.

There is no promotion. No giveaways. No prizes, other than what may touch your heart in the process.

I invite you to check out  #STORIESOFTHEHEARTon Mondays @ GET LOST IN A STORY BLOG

Worth the Wait if finally here!!

Welcome back to End of the Line!
Hank is ready to set the date. Julie likes the way things are. Can love overcome the pain of the past and prove that it’s all been…worth the wait?
AMAZON PREORDER Julie and her sons moved to End of the Line after a dangerous encounter with her abusive husband led to a rescue by her brother, Clay and an old friend, Hank. Over time, her relationship with Hank takes a turn and when he unexpectedly proposes, she is forced to face the battle between her heart and her newfound freedom.

Hank hadn’t seen the woman he held a secret crush on in years, but when her brother asks his help in a dangerous hostage stand-off, he is there in a heartbeat, even taking a bullet to protect Julie and her kids. But will these rekindled feelings Hank has be enough to hold against the time that Julie needs to adjust to her new life and, will Hank decide that it’s worth the wait?

WORTH THE WAITby Amanda McIntyreExcerpt~  Coming 2018“Too soon?” By the look on Julie’s started face, Hank Richardson figured he’d damn well jumped the gun. Then again, to his defense, in the last year and a half since Julie and her two boys had come to live at the Last Hope Ranch, he’d thought things had progressed to where the idea seemed approachable.Apparently, not as much as he’d hoped.He felt bad. There was nowhere—short of a parachute—that the poor woman could go. He’d taken her up in his plane, of all things, thinking that a pass over the beautiful Crazy Mountains against a perfect late summer sunset would be the perfect setting to pop the question. So much for perfect.Hank withdrew the small blue velvet box that held the pear-shaped two caret Tiffany diamond inside. His idea of a romantic marriage proposal disappearing as quickly as the orange sun on the horizon.“No. I’m sorry,” she stammered, holding her hand to her heart. She looked like she might be ill.  I just…I wasn’t--”“Say no more,” he said, pocketing the ring in his denim shirt pocket.She reached over and touched his forearm. “Hank, I’m flattered—speechless, in fact. It’s just…”“I’m moving too fast, right?” God, he’d have married her a week after her divorce from that psychotic excuse of husband. He’d waited, deciding it was worth the wait. Then again, maybe his sister, Caroline had been right when she accused him of having ‘white knight’ syndrome.“Hank,” Julie said softly. “You know how much I care about you. You’ve been so good to me and the boys since we moved here.”He raised his brow. That much was true. He’d flown her brother Clay Saunders to California and had wound up taking a bullet in the shoulder during the daring rescue wherein her husband had been holding her and their sons’ hostage in some domestic dispute.“You made all the arrangements for us to move here--you and Clay.” She sighed. “And I’m forever grateful.”Grateful? Oh hell, he’d really gotten it wrong. He tossed her a quick 
glance, not wanting to let her see his disappointment. Hank had secretly fallen in love with her the first time they’d met in college.
