Wahoooo it's Friday.
And to celebrate I've got new author Darlene Fredette on the blog today.
Read on as we talk ultimate goals, and her new book, Twist of Faith.
Welcome Darlene, tell me three
words that describe yourself starting with A, B, and C.
Accomplished, Bright, Cuddly (all three
descriptions as per my daughter).
What are your
three favorite things?

What is the
ultimate goal you have for your career?
To get all the
stories in my head into print.

more books in your series, or can you tell us about any previous books?
My books, One Sweet
Christmas, Law of Attraction, and Twist of Faith are single titles. My next

works.

Tagline:
One twist of Faith can change
everything.
Blurb:
Katrina has one
goal—follow through on her late-grandmother’s last request, to oversee the
renovation of Katrina’s childhood home. The handsome contractor is distracting,
but she refuses to be swayed by his deep brown eyes and broad shoulders. A
summer romance is not part of the plan. When the truth is discovered about her
family’s past, Katrina fears her own future is in jeopardy. She doesn’t have
faith, but the twists that lie ahead may just change her mind.
Nick refuses to
accept help from anyone, until Katrina gives him an ultimatum—one he can’t
refuse. Her renovation project will save his business, but puts his heart on
the line. Can he convince Katrina to stay or will a promise to her
late-grandmother pull her away? With a little twist of Faith, the odds may be
in his favor.
Excerpt:
The man shifted his weight.
Suddenly, the air cooled around her. For
the first time since she spied him in her home, Katrina stared face-to-face at
her intruder. Past the pain, she saw a strong jaw line and a chin framed by the
shadow of a goatee, or as they say in Paris, a French beard. A perfect set of
lips held a thin moustache and his brown layered hair fell just above his chin.
Dark brown eyes kept her gaze captivated. Johnny Depp has broken into my
house.
His face didn’t belong to someone who made a
living from breaking-and-entering. This face belonged to a refined and
hard-working man. She could tell there was more to the story behind those eyes,
but the instant she stared at his lips, her thoughts turned to mush.
He stumbled to stand, leaning on the wall
for support. Johnny Depp kicked the wood, sending it rolling to the other side
of the room.
Katrina, now believing he meant no harm,
accepted the hand he offered to help her from the floor. She ignored the
tingling sensation running up her arm, knowing the fuss couldn’t be from the
strong hand holding hers.
He inhaled a deep breath and opened his
mouth to speak, but shook his head instead. Frowning, he pointed a finger
toward the card on the floor and limped to the exit, slamming the door behind
him.
She bent to pick up the card, which read, Donaldson
and Porter, Architecture and Contracting, Nick Porter. Her shoulders
dropped. “Damn!”
Katrina now had less than twenty-four hours
to master the art of groveling.
