Yea! I have a release date. Heart of Stone will be in the bookstore of The Wild Rose Press on...drum roll, please...October 3, 2008 in digital format. Then...another drum roll...to start the new year off with a bang, Heart of Stone will be released in print on January 3, 2009. As every author can attest, the time between signing a contract and the actual release of the book is the longest span of time in his/her life.
But, the exciting times come in increments during that span. Framing you signed contract ;D, seeing your cover for the first time, editing, galleys, and finally the release date.
I'm proud of Heart of Stone. My hero/heroine, Stone and Amber, tackle trials and issues that will resonate with modern readers. Although, Heart of Stone, is a contemporary romance, Stone is still the quintesential alpha male cowboy. Amber is small but feisty, overcoming a devastating experience to find love on the Brandon Ranch in Texsas.
Blurb:
A marriage in name only. A secret past. Can love be found amid the tangle of distrust and betrayal?
Alone and pregnant with twins, Amber Wilson has only a fuzzy memory of how she got that way. One thing she knows for sure—no man will ever get near enough to hurt her again. But when she meets Stone Brandon, the attraction is too great to ignore.
Stone’s ex-fiancée’s betrayal has hardened his heart. Though he is drawn to Amber, he knows he will never fall in love again. Still, with her help, the dreams he has for the expansion of his family’s ranch can become a reality. A platonic marriage seems like the logical answer for both of them—until he realizes that a marriage in name only with Amber is a hell of his own making.
