Blurb
Stephanie
Williams left skid marks on the road out of Willow Springs, Vermont
after she finished high school. She didn't return until her company
sent her to evaluate the town for a massive development project. Back
then she thought the town was way too small and too cold. Now the
cold isn't as much of an issue since she's reconnected with her
childhood friend, Donald Flanagan. Stephanie doesn't remember his
eyes being quite so green, or his body quite so built. He's smart and
funny as he ever was, and a forest-fire sized attraction burns
between them.
Donald
never understood his old friend's driving need to leave Willow
Springs. He loves everything about it. When he learns the truth about
Stephanie's project, and how it will turn his hometown into a
theme-park version of itself, will it extinguish the flame that has
sparked between them?
Excerpt
It
was much darker on this side of the building, without the bright,
neon lights around the entrance, and even though they could hear the
muffled music through the wall, it felt as though they were all alone
in the world. Donald stopped and turned to face her, which placed her
between him and the building. He cupped her face in his hands, and
Stephanie marveled that she’d never noticed how big his hands were
before. He leaned down a little and studied her face. His eyes seemed
to be searching for a clue as to what she wanted. There were
complications aplenty––putting their lifelong friendship at risk,
and her work here in town, which Donald still didn’t know the
extent of, being two major hurdles, but Stephanie knew what she
wanted right now. She knew it from the bottom of her toes to the top
of her head, with a certainty she’d never experienced before. Her
blood pounded in her veins, and she felt a little breathless with
excitement about the step they were about to take.
“Hurry
up and kiss me, Flanagan, before I spontaneously combust.”
One
side of the mouth she longed to be kissing quirked up in a sexy
half-grin. “There’s no turning back if we take this step,
Williams. Are you sure?”
About
the Author
Donna
Simonetta writes the kind of books she loves to read--contemporary
romances filled with heart, heat, and humor, like the books of her
favorite romance writers, Susan Mallery and Jill Shalvis.
A
Sweeter Spot is the first book in the Rivers Bend trilogy, which is
set in a fictional small town, populated by quirky characters. But if
you prefer a big city setting and a little fantasy mixed in with your
romance, try Angels Fly. A heartwarming story, set in beautiful San
Diego, about getting a second-chance with your first love, with a
little help from some unlikely guardian angels.
Writing
is Donna's third career. She has worked in the business world, which
she decided wasn't for her. So she went back to school to get her MLS
degree, and worked in a school library, before deciding to pursue
writing on a full-time basis. Donna lives in Maryland with her
husband, who is her real-life romance hero. They enjoy traveling to
visit far-flung family and friends, and spending time on the beach
with an umbrella drink and a good book.

Thank you for hosting today!
Hello, Donna,
Welcome to Beyond Romance. Sometimes our heart's desire is right in front of our nose!
Hope the tour does really well.
Thank you so much for letting me visit today to spread the word about Love Calls You Home! I really appreciate it!
: )
What is the hardest part of writing a book for you?
I love second chance stories and this is an interesting twist.
Hi Sherry, I actually enjoy the whole writing process. Marketing and promotion is a little harder for me, as I'm pretty introverted! Lol!
Hi Jen! I love a second chance at love story too! And Love Calls You Home is also a freinds-to-lovers story, which is another of my faves!
