I know it may seem intimidating that this is Book #9 in this series. I was.
Then, I did a little research and was happy to discover that these books can be read as stand-alones!
I’ve decided to start from the beginning though. That’s what’s so fun about a series, following characters, meeting new ones, and remaining in the moment.
Follow the tour, learn more about the Halo Legacy Series, and don’t forget to enter the awesome giveaway!
Legacy Reborn

BLURB:
An attorney devoted to social causes and a burned out women’s advocate help save their home town while struggling not to fall in love. However, an unintended pregnancy and a gift from the heart lead them on a journey to new possibilities and love.

Excerpt
Once more dressed in jeans and her well-worn cowboy boots, with a jacket thrown on to ward off the chill evening air, Phoenix walked.
Against a backdrop of blue-green mountain peaks and the lightly wooded hillsides closer to the farm, the hens were settling in their coop, with only an occasional soft clucking.
Inside the boldly painted red barn, horses whickeredΒ in their stalls. She breathed deeply of the scents of horse and hay as she ambled through the dusty structure, then opened the side door and walked into the llama’s pasture.
The male immediately approached her and nuzzled her cheek as she slung her arm around him. “I love you too, Romeo.”
She closed her eyes and relaxed against the animal’s woolly neck. However, her relaxation ended abruptly when the animal stiffened and emitted a shrill cry.
Following the animal’s gaze, Phoenix saw CJ standing on the other side of the corral with his arms folded on the top board. “Will your llama spit in my face?”
“It’s alright, Romeo.” Phoenix patted the llama, then walked slowly toward the man who had occupied too much of her thoughts lately. “What brings you out this way?”
“You left the Governor’s presentation right after you talked to Mitch. I wanted to be sure you were okay.”
All the memories she had been trying to walk off slammed into Phoenix once more. “What is okay? I’m not sure I’ve ever been okay or ever will be. How can I find normal or happy when I don’t think I’ve experienced those things?”
“You come up your own version of what makes you happy.”
“A woman is dead because of me. How can I ever be happy knowing that?”
“Mitch said Swaggerty was waiting for Charlene. If it hadn’t been that night, he would have killed her another way.”
Phoenix let that statement sink in. One part of her brain knew that was true. So why did she cling to the blame for Charlene’s death? Maybe she was afraid to move forward.

About the author and links
I’m an optimist whose rose-colored glasses have bent frames and cracked lenses. When life kicks me in the teeth, I find miracles and lessons I refused to learn an easier way. In fact, I live with a small herd of miracles in the furry forms of dogs, who are constantly trying to teach me to forgive, to play more, and to love without limits. I write about people who find courage and integrity in the darkest times of their lives, who rescue stray dogs and kittens, who find a person they would willingly give their lives for, and who make their little corners of the world a better place. People have remarked my stories “aren’t what they expected.” With rose-colored glasses firmly in place, I take that as a compliment. I invite you to share a piece of my world in the pages of a book, and hope you find some surprises, some tears, some laughter, and always a happy ending.

Love and llamas–great tagline you’ve added. π The llama in this story was a fun secondary character to write. Laura, I’m glad you’ve decided to read the Halo Legacy Series from the beginning, and I hope you will come to love the O’Shea family as much as I did when writing their stories. Thank you for hosting me today! I’ll be back throughout the day to chat with commenters!
I was so happy to see the llama! I have read another book where a llama played a role and it just made it so fun. Animals are a great draw for me. They make the story more friendly and engaging.
I’m looking forward to meeting the O’shea family:)
Thanks, Laura! Animals of one kind or another usually make appearances in my books. Like you, I’m a sucker for a pair of big brown eyes and a furry coat. π
Love and llamas–great tagline! And a fun secondary character to write. Thank you for hosting me today as part of my Book Blast! I’m looking forward to chatting with commenters throughout the day!

You’re welcome and thank you for the fun tour!
I agree with Genie about the tagline. Made me want to check it out further. The books sound like fun reads. I look forward to seeing more about them.
I had to have llamas in the tagline! This is going to be a fun series!
Hi, Sherry! Gotta thank Laura for that tagline–it’s definitely eyecatching. π And remember the 99 cent price is only through today. I so much appreciate my publisher for running this special, but the price goes up tomorrow. Gah! I sound like one of those info-mercials.
Had to put these on my TBR list. You always help me keep my list full.
I just know theses are going to be so fun:)
Great! And thanks to Laura again. π
I agree it is great they are stand alones so you can read the whole series or pick and chose the most interesting tales

I follow many authors who do it this way. Then, if I miss one I can still read the next and go back and catch the other one later.
I also usually end up reading a series out of order. Not intentionally–just happens that way! So I try to write series books that can be read singly or in order.
Thank you for the excerpt, I enjoyed it.
It was fun and certainly hooked me:)
Hi, Rita! Glad you and Laura are both hooked. π
LAURA!!!! I getting great books for you!!!! Lots of love, Emily
Yippee! Just sent you an email my friend!
