"She understood instinctively that the man had the capability to bring about change and disrupt her peaceful life. She knew it as clearly as she knew the color of his twinkling eyes and the shape of his beguiling smile."

REVIEW:

"This story is a true testament to people can change, and people can be forgiven for their wrongs. Addie and Josh were perfect for each other. I loved their chemistry, their banter and I loved how their struggles taught them to be who they were always destined to be, humans with faults, that deserve love and forgiveness."

Discover #HeartReads: Rain Shadow

This wasn't the first book I wrote, but it was the first book I sold to Harlequin Historicals. I have a special place in my heart for these Dutch Country Bride stories. Rain Shadow follows Land of Dreams chronologically, though they sold the other way around.

I still remember the absolute thrill of getting the call from my agent that we had an offer on this book. I was working in the counting room behind the customer service desk at a large grocery store when the call came. The first person I told was my friend and beginning writer, Barbara Gwen, who was working in the computer room beside me. We did a happy dance around the offices, and then I called everyone I knew.

'She was reminded of the calm before a storm, those minutes of heavy, oppressive stillness before wind gusted and rain poured from the skies in torrents. A volatile undercurrent passed between them.'

"You won't want to miss this amazing story!" - amazon reviewer
