Miranda Stevens' fiancé skipped town two days before the wedding. Two years later, she is ready to move on.
Brady Watson's anger toward the drunken driver responsible for his wife's death three years ago has turned into grief.
Will Miranda help Brady find the strength to relinquish the past and embrace a new beginning? Could the answer be found in something as simple as a cluster of jonquils blooming in the snow?

OVER THE COALS
At first glance, Jill Landers pegs the gregarious man at the grill as an egotistical ladies' man. A closer look reveals something else. Why does Rob Canter's personality shift between two polar opposites? Jill determines to find out.
Rob Canter is hiding something. The boisterous, fun-loving Rob is a cover-up. But clowning around comes easier than facing reality. Why can't he have a bright future with the woman he loves? But Jill must never know.
Will Jill's attempt to dig beneath the surface expose the gentle man who stole her heart? Or will Rob continue to run from his past and relinquish his chance for happiness with Jill?
These are wonderful stories. I especially love Over the Coals, and Lauren knows it's the one that touched me to shed a few tears. Lovely story, well written. Well done, Ms. Brooks.

Thank you for commenting, Miss Mae. You should know about covers. You've made beautiful ones for me. Livia did a wonderful job with these two. I am happy that Cheryl Pierson took a chance on me.
ReplyDeleteI want to say how delirously happy I am with the new covers. Let's all give Livia a big hand. Didn't she do a great job?
ReplyDeleteLivia is a gem. She always tries her best to let the author have a huge say in what he/she wants on the cover and make it happen for them. We always want our authors to be happy with their covers--there's nothing worse than having a new release with a cover that you're not entirely happy with!
DeleteLove the covers. They are good books
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janice, for dropping by. I believe you reviewed both of them.
