If there’s one thing Julia Wilson has
learned in life, it’s that you can’t push your own dreams to the background for
anyone. Newly divorced, Julia returns to the hometown she once swore would
never see her again. Her plan is simple; enjoy the cheap rent her friend is
offering and stay just long enough to develop a plan to make her own dreams
come true.
It doesn’t take long before Julia realizes
she’s made a big mistake.
Micah Anderson came closer to breaking Julia
than anyone else ever had. After promising her forever, he broke her heart the
week before she left for college. Now, Julia’s back in town and he’s going to
have to tell her the truth about why he left her. It’s not possible to hide a
twelve year old child when you live in a town of 5,000 people.
Is following your dreams worth it if it
means giving up on a second chance with her first love? Is trying to make a
relationship work worth it if his past becomes a threat to her safety?

Author Bio:
I’ve been reading romance novels for over 20 years now. My
fascination started with my mother’s collection of romance novels which lined
half of one wall in the master bedroom of my childhood home. After I graduated
from high school, life began to interfere with my reading and I didn’t read
nearly as often as I would like. When my daughter was born, we decided that it
would be more beneficial for me to be a stay at home mom. To fill the income
gap, I began freelance writing for a variety of websites and print
publications.
From there, I progressed to writing blogs as a way to hang on
to the pieces of myself I felt slipping away as I filled my roles as wife and
mother. Blogging slowly morphed from a creative outlet for my writing to a way
to place another egg in my work at home basket.
It wasn’t until I attending a blogging conference in 2012
that I was overcome with the need to write a book. I’d been thinking about it
since I was 15 but it was one of those “someday” dreams. There were two
speakers at that conference who convinced me I needed to do it. Just shy of a
year later, here I am!

Excerpt:
"How did you do this?" Julia asked in wide-eyed wonder.
A smug grin broke on Micah's face, "I have my ways," he said,
pulling her gently to him. "Come on, there's one more thing," he said
as he led her to the master bath. The long vanity was lined with tealights and
a vase containing four long-stemmed roses.
"One yellow rose," Micah said handing the first rose to
Julia, "to tell you how happy you've made me by coming home, even if it's
only for a while."
"A pink rose," he continued, "to say thank you for
allowing me into your life. I was an ass and even if I told you I'm sorry every
day until I die, it wouldn't be enough."
"This red rose," he handed her the third stem, "because
I love you. I always have and I always will."
He pulled the final rose from the slender crystal vase and placed it in
Julia's hand, "And the orange rose to show you that you are the only woman
I desire. There was a time in my life when I thought I could convince myself
otherwise but I was wrong. It's only ever been you."
