When I look at this cover art, it makes me want to go outside and lie in the dew dampened grass to gaze at the clouds.
I’ve always wondered who or what might be looking back at me.

Because love can happen anywhere . . .
Even in New Jersey!
A beautiful morning in early spring. What could possibly go wrong?
Just returned from a buying trip in England, Kate French was jet-lagged and exhausted and running on fumes. She was already running late for an appointment but a wave of dizziness forced her to pull into the shopping mall parking lot in search of a quick fix of caffeine and protein.
When the pain first hit, she ignored it and continued racing across the parking lot toward the food court. But within moments she realized something was terribly wrong as her wobbly legs gave out and she dropped to the ground. The last thing she remembered as she started to fade away was the guy in the Grateful Dead T-shirt who held her in his arms and promised he’d never let her go.
Mark Kerry didn’t think of himself as a hero but the story of a Good Samaritan who had saved a woman’s life in the parking lot of the Princeton Promenade was attaining the status of suburban legend. Determined to return a stack of documents that had been left behind when the ambulance swept her away, he called in some favors and tracked her down at home one week later.
The moment Kate saw him again, the world and everyone in it disappeared. She knew his voice, the smell of his skin, the way his hands felt against her skin, the taste of his mouth, everything that mattered. All the things she would ever need to know about him.
And then she took another look . . .

Now that’s a sweet romance! And Happy Anniversary!
Yes, I definitely remember the first time I saw my true love. My friend and I were leaving the girls dorm and he was coming towards us. He threw his sandal down and it bounced up and hit my friend in the face. We all became really good friends. Later my friend and true love tried throwing the sandal on the sidewalk again, but it wouldn’t bounce. Apparently we were meant to meet. We’ve been friends for seven years. And I’ll be married for two years this May, and our baby will turn one in June. Thanks for having the giveaway.

Thanks for sharing Rose. You must have been meant to be together. Now you two share your heart with a beautiful baby. And early Happy Anniversary to you both!
Great cover! Thanks for the giveaway! Well, I havent met my true love yet in a physical man but all the characters I have read sure have made a lasting impression. They were there when I’ve cried and laughed while reading their stories and I’ll remember them always. Until I meet my man (my ex doesnt count) I’ll have these sexy devils to keep me company! :o}
