Hometown girl Emma Heart is the sweet, loyal hometown girl that everybody loves. Born and
raised in Garrett’s Point, there isn’t anywhere else she would rather be. Even
after college, she came back to her small town to teach Kindergarten. Always
the eternal optimist, all is right with the world until it all comes crashing
down around her.
Tragedy strikes rocking her strong foundation of faith and has her coming to
the aide of her best friend’s seven-year-old daughter.
On the fast track
Jack Denton is on the fast track to partner in his Richmond, VA law firm.
Working non-stop, he has no time for anything else but case files.
Relationships are not a part of his vocabulary. He has acquaintances that he
occasionally wines and dines with the mutual understanding the end result is
meant for nothing more than mere shared pleasure between two consenting adults.
His orderly, fast-paced life comes to an abrupt halt at the untimely death of
his sister and her husband, leaving him as the guardian of his seven-year-old
niece, Olivia.
At a crossroad
Intending to retrieve his niece, list his sister’s house and hire a nanny – all
in a week’s time – Jack finds the tasks much more daunting than he imagined.
His own grief is nothing compared to that of his niece, and with no experience
on how to handle either, Jack takes the hand extended by Emma to help Olivia
adjust and prepare for the move to Richmond.
Garrett’s Point begins to pull Jack in as the citizens come together to support
their own in a time of need. Jack doesn’t even know who his neighbors are back
in Richmond. Apparently in Garrett’s Point, everybody knows your name.
With assistance from the lovely kindergarten teacher, Jack learns to open his
heart and let Olivia in. The problem is Emma has found a place in his heart as
well. More and more Jack is finding the thought of leaving Emma not so
pleasant, but he has a career plan he cannot put on hold for much longer, or he
risks losing everything he has worked so hard for.
As time runs out, will Jack choose the path up the corporate ladder, or will he
listen to his captured heart and choose love? Emma knows he will never be happy
in a small town and sacrifices her own feelings for the happiness of his.
Jack will have his work cut out for him if he intends to capture Heart.
“Shhh, Emma. What a selfish
bastard I’ve been, huh? You’ve shouldered all of this responsibility primarily
on your own while I’ve been a bystander. I’m so sorry. I didn’t intentionally
let that happen. It just did, but I didn’t do anything to step in. It was
easier to let you handle it.” He placed his hand under her chin and tilted her
face upward so she had to look him in the eye.
Wife and mother of three daughters and one son, life is never dull. I fell
in love with the written word as a young girl. My enchantment with the act of
falling in love was cemented after reading Pride and Prejudice in the 10th
grade.
I love being able to crawl inside a book as if I am a bystander watching it all
unfold live. Now that's a good book!
My desire is to share my fictional friends with you so that they become your
friends too! When you read my books, if you don't end it by saying "Best
Imaginary Friends EVER!" then I haven't done what I set out to do.
Thanks so much for participating in today's tour stop!
