will prevail. 


Summary:

 

After years of living in the darkness of his past, Andrew Wise, a young attorney working for his family’s law firm in Sarasota, Florida, has finally broken free of the demons that haunt him. Wealth, success, happiness, and true love; everything a man could ever dream of, was right at his fingertips. Or so he thought. But in the blink of an eye, all of that changed. Upon discovering that his ex-girlfriend, Olivia Hamilton, was pregnant, Drew fell back into some old habits, which led to him losing the one person that mattered the most in his life – McKenzie Evans.

When McKenzie left him and returned to Texas, Drew was beside himself. The night before she left, he made an agreement with her best friend Jared Christopher, that he would give her time and space to come to grips with the fact that he’d fathered her best friend’s child. Now, two months later, he feels as though he held up his end of the bargain, Drew can’t take their separation any longer. With his brother’s wedding mere weeks away, Drew devises a plan to win McKenzie back.

Under the guise of a bachelor getaway for Gavin, Drew, along with his brother and Jared, jets off on an adventure to the panhandle of Texas. There, he will learn what made McKenzie who she is and will find strength within himself that he never realized existed.

In this charming sequel to The Truth in Lies, Drew and McKenzie discover that not everything is as it seems, forgiveness is a matter of acceptance, and true love really can conquer all.

About the Author:

Jeanne McDonald began telling stories at the ripe young age of five, when her mother considered the truth to be a lie due to her extensive embellishment to the retelling of an event. She wrote her first short story when she was twelve years old, and at the age of sixteen she tried her hand at poetry. She reconnected with her love for writing in 2010 thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend.

Her passions include a “mild” Starbucks addiction, music, reading, quotes, movies, and romance. When she’s not spending time with her family, she can be found reading, writing, chatting with her friends or diligently working toward her bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. A proud Texan, Jeanne currently resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with her family.

Romance Weekly #LoveChatWrite – 22nd April

Do you like to read romance novels? Wouldn’t you like to know more about your favorite authors? Well you came to the right place! Join the writers of Romance Weekly as we go behind the scenes of our books and tell all….. About our writing of course! Every week we’ll answer questions and after you’ve enjoyed the blog on this site we’ll direct you to another. So come back often for a thrilling ride! Tell your friends and feel free to ask us questions in the comment box.

This weeks questions are brought to you by Julie Abindoor

1.  What ages are your characters?

My heroes and heroines range from teenagers to their thirties. My novel, Fix You, follows the two main characters from their teenage years right up to their early thirties, with an epilogue set years later. I love following the journey that a character takes, watching how they age, how life affects them.

However, just like in any family, the supporting cast of characters range in age from newborn, right up to eighty. I love exploring the way different generations approach life and the many pitfalls it offers us, and having these secondary characters allows me to do this.

 

 

2.  What special things or places inspire you to write?

I tend to find inspiration in the every day, not in special places or things. People watching is one of my favourite activities; if I’m waiting for a train or sitting in a restaurant I find my attention wandering over to the interactions between other people. The couple who are arguing, the mother and daughter who are in an intense conversation. I make up stories in my mind, giving them a history, a character, a motivation. For me it’s always about the ‘what if…’

 

3.  What is the one message you hope women will receive when they read your stories?

I love writing about strong women who are faced with hard choices. Sometimes they make the right ones, and sometimes they are completely wrong. But what they learn along the way is that life is a journey, not a destination. Mistakes are normal, and human, and being a good person isn’t about avoiding them altogether. It’s about learning from them, making up for them, and trying to become a better person than you are today. I hope that this theme comes through in the stories I write.

 These were thought-provoking questions, and I found them a real challenge to answer. Many thanks to Julie Abindoor for setting them. And now to read more Romance Weekly Blog Hop go to www.ninamasonromance.blogspot.com and read Nina Mason’s answers!

Excerpt:

July 17th, 2007

Carter

I tried to be the strong one, but today hurt every bone, muscle and brain cell in my body. Without her by my side, life was painful. For years, she had been the sun in my days, the one I was looking for in the darkness. She was my light, my love and inspiration. My reason to stay alive. We were always together before I joined Special Forces. During our last deployment, we were lucky to be working together as a team and we both enjoyed it. I knew her better than I knew myself and while we worked jointly, I saw who she was and how strong and dedicated she had become. Her pride over serving in the Army was beyond most men. Her determination was astounding, she’d faced death, survived to my abject relief and still stayed the fighter she’s always been. Her injuries and pain didn’t make her weak, she’d become stronger and fought against her fears.

I sat in the plane next to Remy. We had left a little over two hours ago and I could still feel her sadness, as if it was attached to my heart. Remy was also feeling blue, as he considered Avery to be like a sister. I hated that I was the reason behind her sadness. I held back the tears as long as I could, but mid-way to our destination, it overwhelmed me and I gave up.

“Fuck…. Fuck… I hate this!” I yelled. I regretted leaving her. I should have requested a release at the same time as she did. This was a fucking nightmare. “I should be home with her, Remy. We could be starting a family like we want. I shouldn’t have come… I shouldn’t have.” Each word, every memory of our conversations about the future hurt, kicking me in the chest because I wanted them now. Every minute away from her was a waste of our time.

“Cart, man, relax.” Remy squeezed my shoulder with a strong hand. “This, the Army, is our life, you can’t go back now. We’ll do this and go back home like we always do. A couple of months won’t change anything in the end. She loves you like crazy and you love her even more.” He paused. “Look, we can do this. It’s hard now because you just left her. Even I’m sad. I’ll miss her too but it’s what we do, man, we are Special Forces. We leave and we come back stronger. We fight for what’s right. We have a job to get done now. Focus on that.”

“Being away from her is different this time. It’s not that I don’t like it, I hate it. It shouldn’t be like this. We had the best times of our lives these past few days. She was glowing, she was smiling like she used to, before the bombing. I felt like she was finally back with me, with us.”

“I saw it too. She was different, happy.” He smiled. “It’s all you, Carter. You were able to make her the happiest bride, even though she knew you were leaving. Use that to motivate yourself. We’ll be back before we know it.”

“Thanks, bro.” I dried my tears on the sleeve of my shirt. I was still angry at myself but he was right. She was happy again. I had to focus on that and come back home as soon as possible. She was my life now. Everything I am or own, is hers.

”I want you to tell me how you feel while you are away. Write me or call me as much as you can.” I grabbed my backpack and opened the front pocket to find my pen and paper.

Avery,

I haven’t arrived at our destination yet, and I’m already writing because I’m thinking about you. I miss you. I can’t stop seeing your smile and beauty in my mind.

Thank you for the pictures, I’ll keep the one of you in your wedding dress with me all the time. Except when I’m in the shower, of course.

I’ve been wanting to tell you how amazing and beautiful you are. Your smiles are back, the ones that made me fall in love with you years ago. The smiles that reach your eyes and the smiles when you bite your lower lip. I loved the way you blushed when you walked down the aisle. You took my heart at that moment and stole it. You are the one who owns it, take care of it. My heart is nothing without you.

I will be back to you soon and we’ll start our family. We could even buy a dog or a cat and move to a different city. Somewhere by the beach or in the country. Anything baby, just say it and you’ll have it.

I love you my shining star, more than you’ll ever know.

Carter

Kisses and hugs

I placed the letter in an envelope and addressed it. I wanted her to receive it soon, as I knew the waiting would be hard for Avery. I was planning to write to her every day or every other day.

Remy had fallen asleep and I wondered how life was for him. He was single, I’d never seen him serious about a girl before. He flirted here and there but he never talked about any girl in particular, or suggested he hoped to meet ‘the one’. Never. As far as I knew, he didn’t plan to stay in the Army forever and I always assumed he would eventually try to settle down with someone. I feared the loneliness he must sometimes feel. It was probably hard for him to see Avery and me so happy together. I wanted him to be happy too. He deserved to be.

I couldn’t force him into anything but maybe I could talk to him about dating.

~~~*~~~

We finally made it to the camp. It looked the same as the last one. I had to try and stop imagining Avery everywhere. I was ridiculously obsessed with my wife. She was safe at home and this was the right thing for her, for both of us. While we were getting installed, the guys were talking about our wedding and were really cool about it. Most of them were married and already fathers. Some of them even asked me to show them my ring. That was just weird, wasn’t it something girls do? The ring was simple, white gold with two small diamonds. We chose it together, the diamonds representing us. Avery’s ring was as simple as mine, she’d never been the type of girl who wanted huge diamonds. I was ready to buy her the biggest diamond I could afford but she’d refused and went for something small and modest. It represented her after all.

As soon as we got on camp, we started doing some work in settling in and we discovered issues. And to make everything worse, the internet was not working properly. We had security issues and couldn’t use it for personal requirements. That meant no emailing and Avery was probably going to lose it in Fort Bragg. I had to make sure my letter got to her as soon as possible. I could try to call her, I would love to hear her voice. In the Special Forces, it only happened rarely that we had to deal with communication problems since it was one of our most important tool.

Finally, I located my bunk bed, I placed my backpack next to it and put the envelope containing the pictures under the thin blanket. I retrieved Avery’s picture from my front pocket and looked at her for a few seconds. Her pale blond hair was piled on top of her head, in elaborate curls. She was gorgeous. Her gown was showing just enough skin, and kissed all of her curves. I was a proud man, and knew I was lucky that she picked me.

Today was my first day away but on the bright side, I was one day closer to seeing her again.

That was my main focus.

Romance Weekly #LoveChatWrite – 1st April

Do you like to read romance novels? Wouldn’t you like to know more about your favorite authors? Well you came to the right place! Join the writers of Romance Weekly as we go behind the scenes of our books and tell all….. About our writing of course! Every week we’ll answer questions and after you’ve enjoyed the blog on this site we’ll direct you to another. So come back often for a thrilling ride! Tell your friends and feel free to ask us questions in the comment box.

This weeks questions are brought to you by Shannon Kennedy

1.  How do you find the appropriate setting for the story, or does it find you?

For me, the setting usually comes from the characters. My stories tend to build up from a hundred different “what if…”s. So the first past would be the main characters, followed by the plot and setting. For some stories it’s easy–my most recent release, Fix You, was always going to be set in London and New York, because the fathers of the main characters both work in finance, and they meet at a party in London just as the new millennium arrives. Other stories have less obvious settings, so I’ll often draw upon my past travels and experiences. I’ve been lucky enough to love in about seven different cities and three different countries, so I have a lot of choice!

2.  What is your support system for your writing?  Family, friends, other writers? 

I’m lucky enough to have a lot of support. Through online writing I’ve built up a network of other writers, beta readers and friends who will give me honest opinions, and kindly point out if my there, their and they’res are going astray! My husband has proved to be an excellent ‘oops detector’, he gets a manuscript after editing and proofing and still manages to find a few things wrong. I think myself very lucky to have such a wonderful network of friends and supporters, and I hope they feel the same about me!

 

3.  What is the worst writing advice you ever received and how did you deal with it?

I’m not sure I’ve ever received any terrible advice. If I did, I must have blocked it out of my head! I take all advice in the manner in which it is offered, graciously and with thanks. It doesn’t mean I’ll always act on it, however. Not that this makes it bad advice, but just not right for me!

 

So there you have it – another week gone. I’m really enjoying answering these questions and engaging with my fellow writers.

Thanks to Shannon for these great questions! And now to read more Romance Weekly Blog Hop go to www.awriterslifeformeblog.wordpress.com and read Mishka Jenkins’ answers!

 

Release Day – Hello LaLaLand by Madi Merek

Hello LAlaland release day has arrived!

Hello LAlaland

Paparazzi, vodka cocktails, and sex. Welcome to LAlaland.

Winifred Chapman isn’t thrilled with the idea of her ten year reunion; especially not the idea of returning to LAlaland. Even in the midst of her thrilling career, she’s managed to avoid LA as often as possible, which is saying a lot for a world-renowned fashion designer. She has a life which women everywhere would envy, and has everything she needs . . . or so she thinks.

Anthony Ricci was the most popular guy at Westlake High, and the one Winifred thought would never look twice at her. A former professional athlete, he now runs a successful Italian restau- rant in New York City. When they run into each other at the reunion and give in to a widely pas- sionate night, Anthony decides he may want more than Winifred is willing to give.

Hating being known by the men she’s dated or slept with, Winifred has learned to take what she needs from them without investing emotionally. When she discovers Anthony’s old desire for her and disappears after their night together, he refuses to give her up.

Will he be able to show her that love doesn’t have to be a battle, or will LAlaland prove to be enough to destroy her carefully constructed walls?

Book Blast – Forever Your Heart by Mary Whitney

 

Forever Your Heart (Beside Your Heart #3) by Mary Whitney

Genre: Contemporary Fiction

Date: April 8, 2014

Publisher: Omnific Publishing

Event Organized By: Literati Author Services, Inc.

 

~ Synopsis ~

I’m a journalist—Adam Kincaid, BBC reporter, to be exact, so I’m not going to bury the lead. I’m about to see the woman I never got over.

I know that because I’ve been back in America for years now, and I still don’t date American girls. My dad would say I’ve come to my senses, sticking to my own British patrician kind, but that’s crap. Mum, the psychologist, would more wisely say it’s my unresolved issues around Nicki. My teenage years are long behind me, yet my guilt over her remains. So I’ve avoided all things Nicki, though the irony is she’s the one avoiding me.

Maybe if we see each other, we can both move on. Could she ever forgive me? Can you forgive yourself when you hurt someone you love?

But please, don’t answer yet. I’ve jumped ahead of the story, and as a reporter, I should give you more background to get to the root of it all.

So let me tell you my story. Then you can be the judge.

 

Mary blames Laura Ingalls Wilder and Margaret Mitchell for her obsession with romance novels. At an early age, Mary fell in love with the Little House series and its dreamy hero, Almanzo Wilder, who only wanted Laura to be Laura. Like many women, Mary later graduated to the ultimate, tall and dark bad boy, Rhett Butler, who loved Scarlett despite her flaws.

Mary has lived in many parts of the U.S., and after a first career in the non-profit world and politics, she’s settled in Northern California with her husband and daughters. She spends her days writing characters she hopes somehow capture the romance of Rhett and Scarlett and Almanzo and Laura. She’s a firm believer in what Rhett says to Scarlett: “You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Fabulous Friday – My Week in Pictures

It’s Friday! This can only be a good thing. This week has been on the wrong side of crazily busy, but hopefully I’ll have the weekend to catch up on everything I need to, ready to start Monday with a blank slate. Today, rather than regale you with written descriptions of what I’ve done this week, I thought I’d let the pictures do the talking.

 

Monday

Yep, just another day at the office. Except a bit more exciting.

 

Tuesday

A 5:30 am train to Bristol. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite as pretty as this one, but a girl can dream.

 

Wednesday

Yep, you’ve guessed it, I’m editing.

 

Thursday

This is what my husband thinks I do. The reality is similar but without the smile. Or the apron.

 

Friday

Managed to grab a bit of time to indulge my favourite habit. Now I just need to find a bookshelf like this

What I’ve been reading this week…

All of the books I read were on special offer this week. Two of them were free via Bookbub alerts (If you don’t subscribe already, you can go here. It’s a great way of finding out special offers in your favourite genres. The other two – Number Thirteen by Bella Jewel and Love Lines by S. Walden – were less than $1.99 when I bought them, and in my opinion they both knocked it out of the park. 

 

 

 

Well, that’s pretty much my week in pictures. I hope you all have a great weekend.
