Broken Women


Anne Hagan - 2016
    When your beloved’s family takes everything else you have, hope is all that’s left…if you can hang on to that. You’ve been smitten more than once. You’ve even been in love a time or two. The trouble is, your feelings are always only yours. Cupid’s arrow always fails to land. Can two love-weary people from different worlds find strength together? Can they find more and even a happily ever after? This is Anne's first romance novel. Fans of the Morelville Mysteries mystery/romance series may recognize these two characters, who played supporting roles in those books but this novel stands alone. If you like it, please let her know. While she enjoys writing mystery, she's always loved reading the lesfic romance works of authors like Radclyffe, Karin Kallmaker and Harper Bliss and she thought she might try her hand at creating some herself. With a little encouragement, she may do more! Please use the ‘Look Inside’ feature to view the book contents and remember you can download a sample of “Broken Women” to your Kindle for free.
