My life is full of reasons to be thankful—my lovely husband
and my amazing son, my beautiful home and our lake house, which has brought us
untold joy for the last five summers. Our health, retirement, dear friends, old
and new, close girlfriends, who laugh and cry with me, and writer friends who
challenge me to be better. I’m so grateful for the readers who enjoy my novels
and then ask where the next one is—they keep me motivated when I’m lacking
inspiration to sit down at the computer. Most of all though, I’m grateful for
my precious, precious Grandboy.
My sister once told me that being a grandparent is different
from any other kind of love you may have experienced before. I thought she was
being dramatic until our Grandboy was born three years ago. When I first held
that tiny bundle, my heart expanded. It was as if all the love I felt for my
son and husband was suddenly increased a thousand fold.
I got to spend a month with Son and Grandboy this past
summer—what a delight! The kid is charming and smart and funny and sweet
natured and creative. While I was there, I sang to him every night before I
tucked him in. Our favorite song was an old Carly Simon song called “Love of My
Life,” one she wrote for her children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJAD9ptfgYs.
In it, she talks about all the different things she loves, but Grandboy and I
switched up the words to include all the things we love—movies and binoculars,
the park and yogurt, dinosaurs and pizza, Daddy and Mommy, Poppy and cuddling...but
always, and with overwhelming gratitude I came back to him—truly the love of my
life.
Carrie Halligan never regretted the choice she made sixteen years ago to raise her son Jack by herself in Willow Bay, Michigan. A successful photographer by day, at night Carrie satisfies her musical passions by playing piano at a hotel bar, maintaining a balance that works for her and Jack. Walking away from Maestro Liam Reilly without telling him she was pregnant with his child may have been the hardest thing she’d ever done, but it was definitely the right thing.
When Liam shows up in town to perform a benefit concert with the local symphony, however, Carrie’s carefully crafted life spins out of control. After sending Jack to summer camp, she realizes she can’t keep Liam in the dark forever. Telling the truth to the man she once loved more than life itself isn’t near as hard as spending time in his presence and realizing that the years haven’t diminished his power over her heart. Will her lie be too much to get past, or will the spark of passion between them overcome everything?

Nan Reinhardt is a writer of romantic fiction for women in their prime. Yeah, women still fall in love and have sex, even after 45! Imagine! She is also a wife, a mom, a mother-in-law, and a grandmother. She’s been an antiques dealer, a bank teller, a stay-at-home mom, a secretary, and for the last 17 years, she’s earned her living as a freelance copyeditor and proofreader.
But writing is Nan’s first and most enduring passion. She can’t remember a time in her life when she wasn’t writing—she wrote her first romance novel at the age of ten, a love story between the most sophisticated person she knew at the time, her older sister (who was in high school and had a driver’s license!) and a member of Herman’s Hermits. If you remember who they are, you are Nan’s audience! She’s still writing romance, but now from the viewpoint of a wiser, slightly rumpled, menopausal woman who believes that love never ages, women only grow more interesting, and everybody needs a little sexy romance.
Visit Nan’s website at www.nanreinhardt.com, where you’ll find links to all her books as well as blogs about writing, being a Baby Boomer, and aging gracefully…mostly. Nan also blogs every Tuesday at Word Wranglers, sharing the spotlight with four other romance authors.
