Driven by fear - Warm Springs Trilogy #1 

The Georgia townsfolk’s true Southern charm is the unexpected prescription needed to heal her soul, and the sexy carpenter who touches her heart are distractions she didn’t plan on, but they might offer her a chance at a new life, if she can let go of her past.

Description:

Driven by fear and desperate to protect her family, Samantha is forced to leave Chicago and everything she’s worked to achieve, only to start over by tossing a dart-at-the-map. The Georgia townsfolk’s true Southern charm is the unexpected prescription needed to heal her soul, and the sexy carpenter who touches her heart are distractions she didn’t plan on, but they might offer her a chance at a new life, if she can let go of her past.

Town heartbreaker, Spencer Malloy, isn’t looking for anything serious. His days are perfect working as a contractor, attending his nephew’s baseball games or taking him fishing. He never expects to fall for the big city girl, Samantha. She’s not his type, timid and closed off, but in her unguarded moments, he’s intrigued by the woman he can’t get out of his mind. The urge to get closer to her grows stronger each day, and when the shadow of evil resurfaces, he vows to protect Samantha, even if it means abandoning his home and joining her on the run.

When confronted by the man who’s bent on revenge, Samantha must choose between running again to save the people she loves, or if she has the strength, to stay and fight for her new life.

Small town beauty queen, Jenny Fillmore, is a survivor. In the wake of having been kidnapped by a madman, she’s managed to put her life back together, complete with a successful career and a serious boyfriend. But, when her first love returns and hires her as his real estate agent, old wounds are torn open, making Jenny question whether or not she has the life she wants. It turns out broken hearts don’t heal so easily and old desires don’t always fade with time.

Professional baseball player, Adam Hamilton, didn’t expect a career ending shoulder injury. Thrown a curveball in his prime, he returns home to Warm Springs and the one woman whose heart he broke to pursue his sports dream. But, earning Jenny’s forgiveness won’t be easy. What he and Jenny once shared was real, but she’s moved on. With the new man in her life, time isn’t on Adam’s side.

GUEST POST

Why suspense? 

I write suspense, contemporary, and YA, but suspense is probably my favorite. I like the extra tension it can bring to a story and the way it can make you stay up at night reading.Preferably with the light on. It is also a genre that can carry over to other genres. For example, I can incorporate it into my YA books by adding in a villian or a high school nemesis. 

Suspenseful stories also propel the characters in different ways. The danger can make the leads in the story cling to each other harder or be forced to count on one another for support. And, doesn’t a stressful situation bring out one’s true self? 

Something else I love about writing suspense is the opportunity to create villains and their backstories. Like actors who enjoy stepping out of their comfort zones, I too like playing around with a character who is nothing like me. Well, hopefully nothing like me. In my debut Safe at Home, a man hell bent on revenge haunts my heroine and propels the story. In Running Home you see one of the characters trying to piece their life back together after having their life threatened by such a man. The final book will be back in the suspense vein, but our villain won’t be an outsider like in Safe. He will be the kind who lurks no further than your own backyard. Happy reading!
