Today, fellow Michigander Margo Hoornstra is here with
her brand-new release from The Wild Rose Press. Night Stars and Mourning
Doves is
available today! For those of you who haven't yet met
Margo, she says, "I’m a wife to one; mother to four—seven if you count
in-law children which I do—and grandmother to four so far. My work experience
includes public relations specialist, magazine editor, television producer, and
script and speech writer. I’m also a founding member of Mid-Michigan Romance
Writers of America."
I am eternally grateful for Margo's efforts
with the Mid-Michigan Romance Writers of America (MMRWA). Belonging to a group
of supportive authors is what really helped me finish and submit my writing!
Now, let's find out about Margo's latest release:
Blurb:
Elyse Monroe may be her sister's maid of
honor, but that doesn't mean she has to follow the bride's example and fall in
love. Battle-scarred and weary from previous relationships, she has no desire
to take a chance on another--no matter how many hints her little sister drops
about the best man.
Devastating life events have taken a toll on
Eric Matthews. After losing his wife and unborn daughter, he's come home to
heal. Serving as best man at his kid brother's wedding is the only relationship
he cares to contemplate--no matter how attractive the maid of honor.
Thrown together again and again by wedding
duties, Elyse and Eric reluctantly agree to explore a possible
relationship--only to have their casual date turn into a glorious night of
passion. Can two hearts, convinced a happily ever after will never happen,
recognize love when it finds them?
Excerpt
“Remodeling your home to accommodate Jay and
me. Isn’t that a little extreme?”
Lips pursed, he shook his head. “Your mother
and I have talked about adding on for years. Anyway, whatever we put into this
house should increase its value eventually.” Setting aside the paper once and
for all, his expression mellowed as he regarded his son. “Helping you out is
helping us out.”
“It’s nice to hear you say that. And I want
you to know I do appreciate what you’re doing for us. Especially Jay.”
“Losing your mother at any age is tough,” he
replied as he stood. “It’s gotta be especially devastating when you’re as young
as my grandson. He still needs someone to care for him like a mother, and Iris
is more than up to the task.”
“She is that,” Eric began, then made himself
quit talking.
Hard to admit, but he wanted someone to care
for him, or at least listen when he needed them to. It wasn’t easy to look for
a woman when you’re mortally injured and still require time to heal. Right now,
it seemed all the time in the world would never make him whole again.
Night Stars and Mourning Doves is available at Amazon
and through Wild
Rose Press.
