Kim Watters here. I can only think of a few things for an author that are better than getting your author copies in the mail. No, make that one. I think getting "The Call" tops the list, but after that, it would be the box filled with copies of your baby to cradle and hold and cherish. Then of course the next best thing is seeing your book on the shelf. Hmmm...... Maybe that is better.......I may have to rethink this. What do you other authors think? What about you readers?
The Soldier’s
Gift
Just in time for Christmas, a tall, dark and handsome
Scrooge visits Holly Stanwyck’s holiday shop, threatening eviction. But once
landlord Ethan Pellegrino sees the single mom’s plight, the former soldier
becomes her protector instead. Suddenly he’s helping her with her struggling
business and bounding with her troubled son. A wounded veteran come home to
heal, Ethan is no stranger to sorrow. But something about the pretty widow
fills him with hope. Will Holly be able to let go of her own painful past to
see her future by his side?
Excerpt:
Ethan momentarily lost himself in Holly’s presence.
Her swept back locks exposed her long, elegant neck and straight, slightly
upturned nose. But it was her vulnerability that got to him.
Despite her attempts to keep it all together, he
sensed just below the surface she suffered and struggled with her son, the
shop, everyday life.
He should step away. Instead, when she turned her
head toward him, he found himself staring into her deep green eyes that had
seen so much pain. A pain he could identify with. He’d lost his father at a
young age, and several of his friends in Afghanistan. But even that couldn’t
compare to losing one’s partner, one’s soul mate.
He had no experience with that sort of loss, yet he
felt the need to comfort. Protect. He wanted to draw Holly into his arms and
absorb her pain and blend it with his own.
