Blurb
Pamela
Landers had it all, a senior partnership with a top law firm,
expensive car, and a luxurious condo. What she desired most was a
loving husband, children and a life filled with precious memories
that would comfort her through her golden years.
Funny how fate has a way of steering you down that path where dreams really can come true. When Pamela encounters Gavin Templeton along her journey, she has some life-altering decisions to make that eventually lead her to happily ever after.

Excerpt
“Nice
to meet you, Mr. Templeton. I’ve been trying to get to Sugar Run
for the past two years, but …” she paused. “I just don’t know
how to say no to my boss.”
He
chuckled and pointed her way.
“Well,
good for you. All work and no play … well, you know the rest.” He
interjected.
Then
she thought. I’ll be damned. She knew that name. Everyone knew the
Templeton name. She was rather titillated by his attention. The
Templeton’s, were quite known in the Northeast. Not only was Sugar
Run a rather luxurious five-star resort, but his family had acquired
over fifty acres of prime lakefront property and started developing
it into one of the most eloquent gated communities that would offer
luxurious 2-3-bedroom town homes, a 9-hole golf course, and private
country club.
The
cleft in his chin was more prominent when he smiled and it pleased
her to know she was the cause of the sparkle in his eyes.
“And,
please, call me Gavin.”
Her
voice shook a little. “Pamela Landers … my name, that is and,
thank you for sharing your table.”
The
waitress arrived, took both of their orders, and refilled their
coffee cups.
“So,
tell me Pamela, what line of work occupies your every waking moment?”
“Law,”
she answered. “My niche is wrongful death.”
The
look that registered on his face made her wonder, if the legal field
was something he found distasteful. She did not know why, but she
wanted his approval. His opinion of her somehow mattered.
“Do
you ski, Gavin?”
“Not
an Olympic hopeful mind you, but I manage to make it to the bottom
without breaking my neck.”
Pamela
giggled.
His
cell phone went off and he excused himself, as he rose and moved from
the table. He was only gone for a matter of moments. When he returned
to the table and rejoined her, he asked the waitress to bring him the
check right away.
Pamela
tried to hide her disappointment.
“Pressing
business?” She asked, trying to keep the disappointment from her
voice.
Gavin’s
was evident as he sighed heavily. “I’m afraid so. There’s
something I must attend to in Ashbury that needs my attention.” He
rose and handed the waitress two twenty-dollar bills and told her to
keep the change.
Pamela
shook her head and raised her hand to argue but, he waved it off.
“Please,
it was my pleasure to meet you.” His smile was warm and genuine.
“Perhaps, you’ll join me for a cocktail this evening. I’ll send
a note to your room.”
Pamela
returned his smile. “Um, that would be nice,” she waved her
finger at him, “but, the drinks are on me or, it’s a no.”
Gavin
reached for her hand, and drew it to his lips, and stroked it
tenderly with his thumb. “How can I refuse? Until later this
evening then.” He bowed slightly and turned to exit.
Pamela
was exuberant as she watched him leave, appreciating how well the
jeans he was wearing fit around a rather nice tight ass and
well-muscled thighs. Pamela relaxed and played back their meeting in
her mind. Talk about fate … it was all rather unexpected and the
immediate attraction she felt for him was even more surprising. She
looked down at the thick, crisp waffles on her plate and began
devouring them with a hunger that was as strong as her desire to meet
up with the dashing and charming owner of Sugar Run.
About
Cynthia
My
love of reading romance fiction goes back to those early years when I
was raising a young family. It wasn't until much later in life I
actually took up the pen to write my first historical romance, Wind
Warrior. I really don't fit into one specific niche. Once a story
starts to flow, it's only then I know what genre/sub-genre it will
fit under.
I
have only one regret, and that is not getting to this point in my
career much sooner, rather than later. Life has a way of setting up
road blocks, which for me, was supposed to work out that way. Because
of those detours, I have become a more passionate and expressive
writer, allowing me to create the kind of raw human emotion I want my
readership to feel.
It is my hope you walk away with not just an entertaining read, but the importance in knowing, "Without imaginationand dreams, we lose the excitement of wonderful possibilities."
