This is my
second year participating in Angela’s Thankful Author blog and I’m happy to be
back. I don’t always stop to think about everything in my life that I am
grateful about. I should. It’s wonderful that Angela has this blog that forces
me think about the past year and all the wonderful blessings in my life.
Nearest and
dearest to my heart are the love, the laughter, and the support of my amazing
family. Life wouldn’t hold much meaning without them. I have friends, old and
new, that I’m grateful for. I’m fortunate that I’m able to continue writing the
stories I love and that pursuing my dream of becoming an author has led me to
some incredible people that greatly enrich my life.
BLURB
In
1692, Isabeau Munier cast a spell to flee Lobster Cove and escape burning at
the stake for witchcraft. Instead, she’s trapped by a curse that tosses her
through time whenever she attempts to leave the small town. With her curiosity
shop and Great Dane familiar, Isabeau has finally found her place in time. When
her landlord’s sexy nephew moves in, she thinks she may have found Mr. Right as
well.
Grayson
Wright’s intrigued by the beautiful Isabeau, but a friend’s accusations make
him worry Isabeau took advantage of his beloved uncle. Gray’s determined to
learn the truth, even at the risk of losing his heart.
Can
Isabeau prove she’s not the gold-digger Gray fears and that her love for him is
true? Can Gray learn to trust his heart, which tells him Isabeau’s the perfect
woman for him? Or will Isabeau’s curse take the chance away from them both?
EXCERPT
“Did you have a few minutes or did you have someplace
else to be?”
He shook his head. “I made this my last stop figuring
I’d let you know I was here, then head over to the house to spend the night.”
He rubbed the back of his neck. “Shit. I’ll run over to the Frenchman Bay
Motel. See if they have any vacancies.”
She thought of the half marathon starting tomorrow.
The crowds had already descended and rates at all the hotels had been raised to
take advantage. Her shop had bustled with business earlier in the day before
all the runners retired for an early night. She grimaced. “You’ll be
hard-pressed to find anything decent tonight.”
Havoc plopped down on Gray’s foot and leaned heavily
against his side. Gray spread his legs to accommodate. Dogs were good judges of
character. And Stanley had always raved about the boy, though boy wasn’t a term
she’d use for the man standing before her.
“I have a second bedroom. Why don’t you stay with me?”
It wouldn’t hurt to get in good with her new landlord. And if he planned to fix
up the second floor and move in, it would be a good idea to make friends.
What would he wear to bed? The modern half of her
hoped he was a boxers only kind of man. She wouldn’t mind having the eye candy
around. Her shy, seventeenth-century half prayed for smelly, disgusting
nightclothes that covered every inch of his body. She didn’t need the
temptation so close at hand. Hitting on her new landlord was likely a bad idea.
He studied her for a second. He seemed like the kind
of guy to weigh all his options. Stanley had always said Gray was a careful
boy, begging the question of why he’d come all this way without knowing the
true state of affairs.
He cleaned his glasses once again. With his face
tilted down in concentration, he said, “Thanks. I’d appreciate that.”
“Well, okay then.”
Havoc loped over to her side and shoved his nose under
her hand. He approved, apparently. But he didn’t have to worry about exposing
his secret life as her familiar, did he? No big deal for the dog.
For her, on the other hand, letting her secret out
could be disastrous. She’d tried having a roommate once upon a time. The
situation hadn’t worked out well at all. Even in these modern times no one
looked kindly on finding a witch in their midst.
Dear lord, what had she just agreed
to?

Remember how I
mentioned that writing has brought some incredible people into my life? I’ve
partnered with four of them to create the Timeless Tales Collection of
anthologies. Each book contains five short stories by five different authors,
all tied together in some way though each can be read separately. Every tale is
perfect for those times when you can’t complete a full-length novel, but want
that satisfaction of finishing a great love story.
