Wishes
come true, if your heart believes...
Guardian
angels don't always come with wings or a halo. Merry Nicholas, aka Mrs.
Claus, came with rosy cheeks and a feather duster for spreading magic,
and the little old lady who delighted readers in my first romance,
Enchanted, is back.
Merry's in
Bunch Gulch, Montana, this time with sophisticated romance novelist
Laurie Langtry, who knows all about fictional love but nothing about the
real thing. Running from bad times in New York, Laurie settles in the
town she ran away from as a child and soon learns old memories don't
fade away. Wishing for a hero to save her from her fears, she gets much
more than she asked for--three rambunctious boys pop into her life along
with their down-on-his-luck rancher dad, Jake McAllister, who's the
spitting image of every Olympian-god hero she's ever created.
With a touch
of magic and the power of belief, Jake's able to save Laurie from the
nightmare that's haunted her. Being a hero's one thing, loving Laurie is
another. Jake's not interested in being the husband she wants--until he
needs a wife.
Laurie's
found that every tale needs a happy ending, and her own love story is no
exception. She's woven the plot so carefully that nothing can go wrong,
and when Jake proposes, another one of her wishes comes true. Deep
inside, though, she wonders if the end justifies the means, and she
hopes Jake never learns what dastardly deed she fabricated to get what
she wanted.
Filled with
warmth and humor, Wishes Come True is about friends, families,
and sticking together when high-tailing it out of town seems like the
easiest road to travel. It's about following your dreams, taking
chances, and letting your heart believe. |
