That the love she used to dream of isn't a little girl's fantasy, but a reality they can share if she can get past her fear and learn to trust? This book is intended for adult readers 18+

    He is funny, charming and utterly sexy. I'm the girl who runs a pizza shop in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Population 2700. He is a storm. I seek safe harbor. Timothy Banks does not belong in my life. Why then, do I feel only yearning when I look at him? EXCERPT: “Ah,” I said. I had no idea what he had said, no clue what I was responding to. “I guess you can hang out here till the power comes back on, or the rain stops.” I didn’t want to sound churlish, but my palms were clammy and blood was roaring in my brain. Timothy Banks was bad for me. Standing there, naked except for a towel, speaking in his sexy, seductive voice, I felt a yearning for the jet-setting, cosmopolitan life I’d given up, where meeting men like Timothy Banks was not entirely outside the realm of possibility. But that life had transformed into a waking nightmare, and I had retreated to Liverpool, and built a shell around myself. I didn’t want cracks to appear. But in fairness, Timothy Banks wasn’t responsible for the way I was feeling, and I had no excuse for the kind of rudeness I was displaying. Major movie star or not, I couldn’t throw him out in the rain. “Sorry,” I said. “I’m being quite rude. Please, stay. The power usually comes back on in an hour or so.” He looked at me. “If it won’t be an imposition?” he asked. “I can entertain myself.” He looked at my cheap particleboard bookshelf, overflowing with books. “Do you mind?” “Not at all,” I responded. I waved towards the easel. “I’ve been itching to paint all day, if you don’t mind?” He looked at me, his expression oddly intent. “It’s your home, Tessa,” he said. “You can do whatever you want.” Was that a come-on? A slight emphasis on the phrase ‘you can do whatever you want’? An indication that if I took a step towards him, it would be reciprocated? I wanted so much to find out. I wanted to drop my gaze lower, to see if he felt the same arousal I was feeling at the moment. The same sense of exciting possibility.

    Kitchen. Nine Line A nine line is the standard radio format to evacuate casualties from the battlefield. It is a call for help. When Nick Patterson signed up for the Navy reserves, he just wanted some money for medical school. He never imagined he’d someday find himself fighting for life and limb in the sands of Iraq. Frustrated by a military bureaucracy he cannot begin to understand and an increasingly pointless war, he doubts why he is there and what he is doing. When the plucky and idealistic MEDIVAC pilot, Samantha Brown, crashes into his life, he sees another side to the war. As their friendship grows into something more serious, Nick is faced with a multitude of choices: should he stay in the military or go home to the relaxed atmosphere of private practice? Should he play it safe, or step off into the unknown with the daredevil pilot? The Unbeliever If faith can move mountains, what can the utter lack of faith achieve? Major Max Bradley left his faith, along with a leg, in the sands of Iraq. Even the Marine Corps, the only thing that mattered to him, thanked him for his service and sent him on his way. Feeling abandoned, left adrift and without purpose, scotch and oxycontin became his only friends. He lives a hermit's life on a boat moored in a small coastal North Carolina town, struggling with addiction as well as the physical and emotional scars from a war that now seems pointless. He only just exists, caught between pain and despair, until one night his world and his perceived place in that world are turned upside down. A call for help snaps him out of his drug laden fog and a chance midnight rescue brings him together with the woman who will pull him out of himself and will show him that he is more powerful than he has ever imagined.

She's got a mind of her own, and she’s no victim—but what is she so afraid of? Despite their growing attraction, there’s just one thing the young widow doesn’t know about her husband’s death: Jack Curren is the one who got him killed.
