Bluewater Bay Promise

Book Excerpt


Meg stepped onto the beach and removed her sandals. She scrunched her toes and let them sink into the warm, grainy sand. Meg held the rolled blanket under her arm as she made her way to the shoreline.

Waves rolled in and out marking the shore with lines of foam. Meg inhaled the salty air and smiled as the almost warm water washed over her toes. She resisted the urge to wade into the bay and would dive in without question if she’d worn her bathing suit.

Meg made her way to a dry patch of sand away from shoreline and spread the blanket. She sat down, stretched her legs and leaned back on her hands. It was a light beach crowd which made it more peaceful than usual. She’d have space to think.

Meg pulled her water bottle from her bag and tipped it back for a drink. In her peripheral vision, she saw someone sitting about a hundred feet to her left. She turned, then smiled. Meg picked up her blanket and trudged over.

“Hey, Brandon, taking advantage of the weather?”

Brandon jerked his head up from his phone. His eyes widened in surprise.

“Meg, Hey what are you doing here?” Brandon’s voice squeaked.

“The same as you. I wanted to get in some beach time. It’s a gorgeous day.”

Brandon put his phone away and peeked around Meg toward the seawall. She followed his gaze, then down beside his blanket. A set of women’s sandals sat beside his flip-flops. Her chest tensed and she shifted her eyes to wipe them.

So, he’s not alone. It’s probably where’s his attention has been lately.

Meg pushed her shoulders back. No, she wasn’t going to make any assumptions. Besides, they weren’t a couple anymore and he wasn’t her problem.

“Are you here with someone?”

“Well, yeah, but you broke up with me, remember?” His voice was accusing.

“I was just asking. Anyone I know?”

Brandon shrugged. His shoulders hung near his ears from obvious tension.

“Relax, I’m not here to cause trouble.”

His eyes darted between Meg and something behind her. She turned again to see a young woman approaching. Brandon pushed himself up and brushed the sand from his hands.

“Ashley, this is Megan. Megan, this is Ashley.”

Megan’s eyes grew wide. It was the purple flower sweat

Top 10 Outdoor Christmas Lights Ideas | Outdoor christmas lights ...

There's just something extra special about a small town at Christmas...
...oh, wait...I DID mention this story takes place around the holidays, did I not?  Oops!  Let's try that again...

Jill is a writer that's hit the dreaded block in a big way.  Wanting to break free, she turns her attentions to a genealogy article for a magazine, and begins researching the finer art of family trees.  Thing is...it takes a decidedly personal turn when she follows her own roots back and discovers a possible home away from home in a little town called Morgan's Grove.  Following her leads there, she'll uncover much more than she ever dreamed, from friends that are as close as (or closer than) family, traditions made to include all...even those newbies to the bunch...and even the chance to have a place her heart can truly call home.

So, have I hooked you yet?  GOOD because you SO NEED TO BE!  I know the holidays are a ways off still and it's about 100 degrees on a good day where I'm at right now, but there's never a time that is too off center for a heart warming story filled with wonderful characters that takes place in a town like Morgan's Grove.  Seriously, I was captivated by the passages as the author described things from the quaint-almost-too-perfect-yet-not town square to the beauty of the surrounding countryside.  I wanted to traverse the town shops, the covered bridge, the mansion, and the library.  I wanted to meet Lucille, her darling little corgis, and the mysterious Rick with the heart of gold.  I wanted to make the acquaintance of the sisters that run The Pit, converse with all the locals, and sample some of that delicious sounding gingerbread!

In short, I loved my time in this town and getting to know everyone from start to finish was definitely something that memories are made of.  If you're a Women's Fiction or Sweet Romance fan (or even a Hallmark movie fan!), make the trek to Morgan's Grove for your next reading escape.

Too many secrets. Too many dangers. And he's got a mission to accomplish.

Eli Austin is going off the grid. Too long in the underground employ of men he'd sooner spit on than obey, his master plan for breaking free is intact. But before he goes, he has to appease his heart and soul one last time. He's got to see the house he and his high school sweetheart, Tish, almost bought. Relive the Christmas they never had, before he walked out on her, into the dark night without a word, so many years ago.

Tish Taylor's been through it all. After that horrendous Christmas, she moved on, married. But the rebound is over, and she's newly divorced. She's going back to where she had it all - once - to spend a solitary evening in the abandoned house where three years ago, they were going to start their new life. The sweet old house that called to them, the life that was theirs. She's got to reclaim the woman she was then - full of dreams, and promises. So she can move on, once and for all.

So they both set out to that old house, now in the worst part of town.

But neither of them counted on what they'd find...

She's city. The more designer and fluffier, the better.
He's a closed-off butcher in a small northern Canadian town.

Emily Gates is hip. If a bag's got more than three zeros in its price tag - she's in. Cream is her favorite color. And her new role as junior city planner in the city of Toronto has her excited beyond all reason. For the gal with the troubled past - something she carefully keeps a secret - it's all about building community now. Even though she loves working and living in the upscale, trendy area just east of Bloor and Yonge.

Rufus Richardson isn't fancy and his job is dirty. And he's always trying to slay the damn dragons, even when no one wants him to. He should settle for a local gal, one who's used to country and mosquitos and wild animals poking around the family homestead. Instead, the moment he sees the vivacious city beauty, his heart tumbles, and his warrior's sword appears. But she doesn't need him to slay any dragons, and lets him know in no uncertain terms.

But when the life she's carefully curated falls apart suddenly and she goes off into the dark northern night alone searching for the meaning that's always eluded her, they find themselves thrown together, the night before Christmas Eve. On Ruf's annual infamous northern Candy Cane Run, and...

Everything changes.

She's fueled his sexual fantasies for over a year, but she's also inspired him to go back to university part-time and work on that business degree. If she can go for what she wants, a former rich girl now in the trenches with the rest of them, so can he. And he's also seen something in her - working so hard in a life that's foreign to her - that touches his heart.

Now it's New Year's Eve, and he's there alone. Alex comes in with a delivery, ready to do her job and then run to her glamorous NYE party with old friends. But miracle of miracles - it's the wrong part. They'll have to wait for the new one. Together...
