About the book: “Shay is recovering from breast cancer and months of chemo. The last thing she’s expecting is a good looking, charming man to come into her world and turn it upside down. Drew Bennett, an artist getting ready for a big show, needs a place to live and work while his townhouse in Boston is being renovated. He rents an apartment in Shay Morgan’s cliff side house in Maine. Shay and Drew are instantly attracted to each other, but both of them recognize the timing is wrong. Drew is dealing with a teen-age daughter who was seriously injured in a car accident. Shay is emotionally fragile from her illness and filled with worry her cancer will return. Can they overcome bad timing to find their way to each other?” (From Amazon) About the author: “I am a new resident of New Hampshire after 24 years in North Carolina. From the time I was very young, I wanted to be a writer, but life got in the way. I married in college, and we had three children very close together. I gave up writing and became an artist which seemed to fit my time better. Now, many years later, writing has come back. The idea for Heartfelt seized my mind and my imagination, and wouldn't let go. I wrote it in 9 months.” |
