An attorney devoted to
social causes and a burned out women's advocate help save their home town while
struggling not to fall in love. However, an unintended pregnancy and a gift
from the heart lead them on a journey to new possibilities and love.
Teaser Excerpt:
As
CJ stepped onto the floor to dance with his sister, Phoenix couldn't tear her gaze away from his leanly muscled
frame in a white tuxedo. His longish hair brushed his shoulders, bringing to
mind a gentleman of the Old West, fitting perfectly with the mood of this
celebration.
She
started out playing it cool, thinking CJ would immediately ask her to dance.
However, when yet another dance started and he passed her by with no more than
a wink, she began to feel a bit perturbed.
I'm a wallflower. Standing by a beautifully inlaid wood wall of the
ballroom in Waring House, but a wallflower nonetheless.
Had
she grown warts on her nose since the waltzing started? Missed a piece of salad
between her teeth from dinner? Had her deodorant given out?
Discreetly,
Phoenix checked out the possible offenses. She took a quick
glance in one of the gilded mirrors placed strategically around the room to
reflect the twirling dancers. Stretched her arms upward with quick sniff to the
side.
Nope.
Everything seemed normal.
"What
are you doing?" CJ stood in front of her, curiosity in his eyes.
"Ah...practicing
my dance moves," Phoenix
said. "I used to be a disco queen."
CJ
lifted an eyebrow. "Unless my math is really bad, you're too young to be a
disco queen. But would you like to waltz?"
CJ
grinned and twirled Phoenix onto the dance floor. After a few basic box steps,
he turned and swept her into a graceful swirl. Phoenix followed as if drawn by a magnet.
Staring
into her eyes, he back-stepped and turned. She followed flawlessly. Another
turn and a swoop. A swirl and another. A backstep and CJ twirled Phoenix away from him and under his arm. Swirls and dips
round and round left her breathless. Wanting more than a dance. Wanting...

About the Author:
I'm an optimist whose
rose-colored glasses have bent frames and cracked lenses. When life kicks me in
the teeth, I find miracles and lessons I refused to learn an easier way. In
fact, I live with a small herd of miracles in the furry forms of dogs, who are
constantly trying to teach me to forgive, to play more, and to love without
limits. I write about people who find courage and integrity in the darkest
times of their lives, who rescue stray dogs and kittens, who find a person they
would willingly give their lives for, and who make their little corners of the
world a better place. People have remarked my stories "aren't what they
expected." With rose-colored glasses firmly in place, I take that as a
compliment. I invite you to share a piece of my world in the pages of a book,
and hope you find some surprises, some tears, some laughter, and always a happy
ending.
