"How do you choose between your heart and your responsibilities?

Merry Hurst, a fierce widow and single mom, is determined to give her young son the life he deserves—including a male role model who will stick around for the long haul. She can't afford to fall for a man who isn't planning to stay in Huckleberry Falls, so she might as well stop dreaming about Carlisle Wyndham. If only it were that easy!

Carlisle Wyndham is determined to develop the avalanche-proof transceiver that could have saved his wife's life. He's glad his daughter has made a new friend, but they’re only staying in Huckleberry Falls long enough to complete the project. When he meets the young boy’s mother, Carlisle’s not prepared for how alive she makes him feel.

But he has pressing responsibilities pulling him back to England while Merry’s require her to stay. Do they dare risk getting involved only to say goodbye?"

  
  


Top Ten List:

Ten facts about me:

1. I'm a USA Today best-selling and award-winning author.

2. I'm a wife, mother, and grandmother. One of the toughest things for us during the pandemic is not being able to see grandkids who live far away. We ate plane tickets last March that would have had us in Hawaii visiting our daughter and her family. Thank heavens for online chats.

3. I'm a huge Harry Potter geek--during the heyday between the release of Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, I volunteered as a moderator on The Leaky Cauldron's forum, The Leaky Lounge. I met some wonderful friends around the world and must have read every theory about what would happen in the final book.

4. I'm a US Navy brat and have lived in both Korea and the Philippines as well as visited Guam, Japan, and Hong Kong.

5. I'm a US Army veteran, and I served in Germany, back when there were two of them.

6. I'm a karate black belt. My younger sons were involved, and I wanted to do it with them. I was 50 when I started. They gave up, but I persevered.

7. I'm a gamer. Have been since Pong came out a bazillion years ago. Our whole family is into gaming, so it's something we can do together. I can't tell you how many friends of my boys have said they wished their parents played too for that same reason. We used to do the PC versions of StarCraft and Warcraft. We followed StarCraft on to Battlenet but didn't like World of Warcraft online. Then our boys got us into League of Legends! LOVE this game. In fact, it inspired one of my book series, The Billionaires of REKD. It's something we can play as a family in whatever cities we live.

8. I'm in the process of editing a fantasy duology which is different from my other books. It's one I began many years ago and stars my grandkids in Hawaii. In fact, part of it is set there. It's been a lot of fun but also the hardest thing I've done to date. I hope to publish those two books in 2021.

9. I'm also writing the first in a cozy mystery series. It's set in a little village in northern Washington, near the Candian border. The land is owned by the Savage family, and they inherited a castle which had been taken apart and moved from Ireland. They didn't realize a ghost had come with it. The first book will end my Safe Harbors series, but will also set up a couple of more.

10. As you can tell, I love having characters cross paths and series. You never know who might show up in a book.
