He intends to gain his own estate and begins buying the debt markers on Kildahlshus.

Baroness Regin Kildahl’s husband has gambled away her estate and sunk to more dangerous habits. She writes to Lord Olsen soliciting his help saving both her husband and her home. When her husband dies, Regin offers herself and her title to anyone who will redeem his gambling debts, unaware of Brander’s plan and circumventing his efforts.

The Hansen heir accepts her offer and hires Lord Olsen to deliver his bride. Brander’s choices are clear: give the widow and her estate to his younger brother, or claim them both as his own. But who would accept a deaf husband?

SNEAK PEEK:

A mirror reproduced a person’s face.
But if one wanted to know, really know a person, really know what she was like, really know what her character, her integrity, her honor were like, all one had to do was scrutinize her family, study the friends she’d chosen, and one would have a pretty accurate sketch of the person in question.
That was Connor’s motivating factor for coming to Harmony Village.
To scrutinize Krysia Barciniak’s family. To study Krysia Barciniak’s friends.
His theory contained one flaw.
Krysia Barciniak herself, he admitted with some reluctance.
When his gaze had first connected with hers, something indefinable had passed between them. The power of that instant in time had left him breathless. Speechless. Unnerved.
Although her parents and friends all appeared small-town friendly, possessing small-town friendly countenances and small-town friendly manners, it was the woman herself, standing before him with her mother’s arm draped over her shoulders and encircled by her friends and neighbors, that bore the most accurate sketch of Krysia Barciniak.
Her cheekbones were high, her jaw strong, but her eyes… Her eyes, blue like sapphires, blue like his daughter’s, told the story her lips never would. Her eyes, so dark, so full of thoughts and secrets and pain, especially when she glanced down at Brenna, revealed her vulnerability.
With the promptness of the panicked, Connor eased his features into an impassive expression when he saw her raise those eyes to him. And once again, felt shivers of awareness ripple down his arms.
Don’t go making a forest out of a twig, he admonished himself, stomping down on the intrusive yet inexplicable sensations swirling through him.
Don’t go jumping to any conclusions here. He pushed his free hand into his pants pocket and balled it into a fist.
You’re here to observe her, to determine, with no margin for error, if she is trustworthy to let into Brenna’s life. There can be no margin for error, he reminded himself, planting his linen-clad legs wide and locking his spine.
He would protect Brenna at all costs. She was his daughter and he would protect her and no amount of vulnerability and pain scratched into the blue eyes staring at him now would soften his resolve. Would not soften him at all if he detected the merest possibility of a corrupt character.
Time would tell.
And he had plenty of it.
“I’m sure you and your daughter will settle down nicely here. Harmony Village prides itself on being a great place to raise children. It’s safe enough to walk alone at night and leave your doors unlocked,” Krysia said, her voice precise and professional and pried into his thoughts. “It is a Harmony Village tradition to always make newcomers and visitors feel like family. If I can be of any assistance—”
Family. The word reminded him of his dead wife. The word made his chest feel tight. The word made his voice sound curt. “I’m certain we’ll be just fine.” He shrugged with the words. Seeing the puzzled hurt on her face, he cursed himself and felt obliged to add a belated, “Thank you.”
She gave him a bright smile, but it was strained around the edges, and he felt his heart give a quick, catchy sigh. He would do well to remember he was a man on a mission. And that mission did not include antagonizing the one person, the one woman, the one…mother…Brenna had left in this world.
Mother.
Connor closed his eyes. A year after Missy’s death, he still grieved as though it had happened only yesterday. Brenna still grieved as though it had happened only yesterday. His eyes lifted to Krysia’s and he made a sound somewhere between throat clearing and sighing.
“Brenna and I are pleased to be here, aren’t we honey?” His fingers tightening in encouragement, he winked at his daughter. “And we’re looking forward to making new…friends.”
Once again, his eyes lifted to Krysia’s. When their gazes met and melded, she gave him a careful smile. His skin prickled with awareness and he found himself catching his breath.
Though she wasn’t as pretty as Missy, she wasn’t…unattractive.
The thought struck him hard and fast. The pain it produced shocked him.
How could he—his gut twisted—see another woman, any woman, but especially this woman, even for a few seconds, and notice her looks, be drawn to her…looks? It’d only been a year since Missy died. Dropping his gaze, he frowned at the toe of his shoe.
The guilt kicked in.

KEEPER OF MY HEART by DARCY FLYNN (contemporary romance)

THE REVOLVING BOOK FRIDAY EDITION IS BY DARCY FLYNN

POSTED FRIDAY MARCH 23, 2012

TITLE: Keeper Of My Heart 

GENRE: Sweet Contemporary Romance 

RELEASE: CURRENT

PUBLISHER: Soul Mate Publishing http://tinyurl.com/844mmnn

 WHERE YOU CAN BUY THE BOOK:

SOUL MATE PUBLISHING: http://tinyurl.com/844mmnn

GOODREADS: http://tinyurl.com/7n9la5v

SYNOPSIS:

Spunky, opinionated Katie McCullough has worked for years with one goal in mind–to own the ancient lighthouse and its surrounding buildings in Paige Point, Maryland. With the lighthouse in her possession, she can finally provide a home for her and Pop, something she and her brother had always planned, establish her art business and maybe, if she’s lucky, reunite with the mystery sailor who stole her heart five years earlier. All she has to do is place the winning bid and the lighthouse is hers. She isn’t worried. Who in their right mind would want to own a compound of dilapidated buildings anyway?

Max Sawyer, that’s who. Confident and decisive, this former military officer isn’t used to having his orders disobeyed. As a developer who specializes in transforming historic properties into boutique hotels and resort spas, the lighthouse property is perfect for his plans. Except his plans for this one have absolutely nothing to do with hotels and everything to do with winning Katie and revealing to her his connection to her brother’s death five years earlier, an event that still haunts him.

Max’s winning bid collapses Katie’s world like a grass hut in a storm. She is heartbroken and outraged when she assumes her beautiful lighthouse property will be turned into a tourist attraction. Max’s bossy sure-of-himself attitude incites a rebellious mischief-making streak that leads Katie to stealthy systematic dismantling of both the houses on the property…and his plans. Unfortunately for Katie, she is caught and assigned community service, working for him.

However, Katie doesn’t know that Max is her mystery lighthouse sailor, the one man who captured her heart five years earlier; the one man who has since been the plumb line for every other unsuspecting male who has crossed her path. Unfortunately for Max, he doesn’t measure up either. So, as any former military officer would do, Max accepts her call to battle stations, outmaneuvering her at every turn, forcing her to accept him as a man and not a memory and placing Katie in a position where she has no choice but to surrender her heart.

REVIEWS:

Kat Cook from Forever Book Lover says, “First, You will love this book!! It was that good. The storyline was refreshing, it was a lovely tale proving once again that love triumphs despite obstacles along the way. If you are looking for a hot passionate romance book, you won’t find it in this but what you will find is a sweet romantic story of two people finding their way to one another. You will be delighted in the bantering between Katie and Max, you may even find yourself chuckling out loud a time or two.”

Victoria Teoh from Always A Book Lover, says, ”I really enjoyed Keeper Of My Heart. A sweet, easy read that is impossible not to like. Definitely a recommended read.”

Martha’s Bookshelf says: “The story is sweet and heartwarming and the writing has an easy, light flow. This is a quick read and solidly entertaining. This story brought my attention to the author and the publisher and I will be looking to read more from both.”

Heather Boustead’s Reviews says, “I thoroughly enjoyed this book because it was light and fun. Darcy Flynn did an amazing job describing her scenes, though I wish there had been more to a few of the scenes themselves. That notwithstanding, for being a shorter book I couldn’t put it down. I loved the romance between Max and Katie with kisses and simple affection, rather than the reliance upon more carnal scenes found in most romance novels.”

TJ says, “Ms. Flynn’s gift with the pen in describing the charm of the beautiful sea-side lighthouse and it’s properties makes one yearn for the salt-scented peace and warm community it invokes. The strength of the story comes from that warmth which threads through, not only the feel of area, but the very people and their interactions.”

AUTHOR BIO:

Darcy was born into the rich culture of New Orleans, La.  As a city filled with colorful historical intrigue and broad creative energy, her natural bent to the arts coupled with her love for one of the most romantic cities in the world has been the inspiration and anchor of her artistic multi-dimension endeavors. Darcy was always compelled by the need to express herself and like her mother’s famous gumbo, her previous expressions included a little bit of everything – art, music, acting and dance.

Although, published in music, art and the Christian non-fiction market under another identity, it was the empty nest that turned Darcy to writing romantic fiction. A lover of lighthouses, Darcy’s first novel, Keeper Of My Heart, unfolds in a small Maryland fishing village on the Chesapeake Bay.

Darcy, a former Mrs. Tennessee, continues to be surrounded by all things creative in Music City and when not in writing in her London flat, lives on a beautiful horse farm in historic- Franklin, Tennessee with her husband, son, two English Setters and a calico cat.  Darcy enjoys stargazing, raising rare breed chickens and gardening.

RELEASE DATE: CURRENT

SYNOPSIS:

Leif Dæganssen, an archeologist from Norway, is determined to trace back his Scandinavian roots as far as the Dark Ages and find proof of their existence on the Emerald Isle. After several years of living off the west coast of Ireland, he finally uncovers an ancient artifact—an intricately decorated chest with pagan carvings—buried beneath the very porch of his coastal cottage. Knowing it only confirms the presence of a glorified Norse-influenced settlement on Inis Mór, he’s determined to establish a link between himself and those who once inhabited the rugged isle.
For as long as she can remember, Lorraine O’Connor has had dreams of a Norse warrior kissing her. And even though she’s never fully understood the reason for her vivid subconscious imagination, she welcomes the meaningless and wanton pleasure of being in a Viking’s protective embrace—until the day she meets that brazen Northman on an impulsive vacation trip to Ireland.

Though blindsided by the relevance of her dreams and the strange familiarity of the man within them, Lorraine can’t help but feel a deep-seated intimacy toward Leif. And the more she gets to know him, the more she’s convinced they’ve shared a life together in a time long forgotten.

Are the clues to their ancestral past hidden within the contents of the chest or buried deep within their hearts?

REVIEWS:

“I didn’t believe it was possible to take Daegan and Mara’s incredible love story to another level, but I am extremely pleased to be wrong. The new paths with Leif and Lorraine and the journey back to some very memorable moments with Daegan and Mara are expertly crafted into one extraordinary story. The contemporary version of their fated and reincarnated love reads like new, but with a familiar comfort. All my senses were engaged upon reading this dramatic conclusion to the Emerald Isle Trilogy. The author is phenomenal in bringing to life the sights, sounds, and emotions through well researched descriptions and dialogue. Every word seemed to have a purpose in helping create a beautiful and poetic ending to an unforgettable trilogy. If you’ve never heard of the name Renee Vincent then you’re missing out on quality reading that’s worth every second of your undivided attention. It’s an escapists dream and I will most certainly be back for more.”
~ 5 Stars TOP PICK ~ Night Owl Reviews ~

“If I was told I only had one word to describe The Fall of Rain (the entire Emerald Island Trilogy, for that matter), it would have to be “FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!” This story deserves so much more than just a 5 star rating, in my opinion. Renee Vincent weaves a tale of everlasting love that transcends the boundaries of time, adding just the right twists and turns to keep you guessing. The Fall of Rain is the perfect ending, wrapping the entire trilogy up into one perfect package. I’m honestly sad that it’s over. I’m eagerly awaiting to see what literary gem Vincent has in store for us next.
5 Stars ~ Coffee Beans & Love Scenes  http://bit.ly/zDsWRY

“I know for myself I enjoyed the first two books very much. So much so, that I was excited for the third book to come out. Little did I know what book three really had in store for me. OMG doesn’t even cover it. This is my absolute most favorite book of this series. Where the first two take place deep in the past, book three finds us in the present time. How does that work, you may be asking . . . well, I would have never thought it possible until I read it for myself. Taking present time activities and adding in flashbacks from centuries past, this book offers the reader everything; drama, romance, comedy and even mystery. People and things aren’t always what they seem. In fact, you may walk away from this book never looking at that moment of déjà vu the same again. Maybe, just maybe when something feels right . . .we should remember, just who are we to question it? If you enjoy historical romances and love a story with men you would love to sink your teeth into, this is your series to get lost in. Not an ounce of disappointment to found in the pages of these books.”
Rose That Rules All – MAGNIFICENT! ~ Romancing The Book http://bit.ly/rxnb1z

“If you fell in love with Dægan in the book Ræliksen then you wont be disappointed when you read The Fall of Rain. You will fall in love with Leif too. I was crying happy tears when I finished reading this book. Author Renee Vincent made this Dægan Lover very happy. I’m very happy how she ended this wonderful trilogy.”

SNEAK PEEK:

“Will you be washing your hands of me now?”

His head fell and his shoulders dropped. How did he get so wrapped up in this woman, that any little thing she said sent his mind whirling and threw his self-control into a tizzy? He slowly turned around, forcing his line of sight to remain above her shoulders.

“I don’t think I could ever wash my hands of you, Rain.” He recalled the amazing day they had together, the conversation at the fort, the kiss at sunset, and the intimate shower they shared. “Not anymore.”

“Then why are you leaving?”

Leif crossed his arms, trying to remain poised. “Because I should. I came too close to having my way with you in the shower had it not been for the timely blast of cold water in the pipes.”

Lorraine melted him with her innocence. “You wanted to have your way with me in the shower?”

Leif couldn’t help but laugh. “Was it not obvious to you, then?” He glanced down at his tented towel “Or even now? Hell, if it were up to me at this very moment, I’d have already sprawled you out on the bed behind you.”

Warmth infused her cheeks and her eyes darkened. She chewed on her lip, pondering the scenario. The seconds lugged by, her reply hanging in the balance.

“Okay, that just came out.” He rubbed his hands down his face. “Obviously, that’s my libido talking and—”

“So, what’s stopping you, Leif?” Her hand came up to her chest and she untucked the towel at her breasts, letting it fall to the floor.

His mouth dropped open and his heartbeat kicked up a notch. Heat and blood and all things hormonal coursed through his veins. He couldn’t hold back even if his blasted conscience slipped in a last minute ethical reason for thinking twice. Her naked body, pleasantly dainty with soft curves in all the right places, spurred the animal inside him. She had given him permission to take her as he wanted, and that was all he needed to slam the door shut on morals and decency

Millie Fields’s life could be a Greek tragedy. As if frizzy hair and a dead-end job weren’t enough, the heartthrob of her dreams, Graham Lance, doesn’t even know she exists.

SYNOPSIS:

If you enjoy the TV shows JAG or NCIS then you’ll love UNWRITTEN.

Caroline Blaine is a woman of many talents, divided by an unrelenting career as an intelligence agent. Sent to investigate and recover stolen Navy property with a Navy Judge Advocate General (JAG) Officer, the only man she can’t allow herself to love, they must travel the globe on the hunt and stay alive.

Two Naval officers, each possessing their own set of strengths find they both have the same weakness- trust. Caroline Blaine, intelligence officer, and David Reese, JAG corps officer, have worked together to solve many high profile cases. Now paired again after two years apart, they find it necessary to ultimately give in to their worst fault, trusting someone completely and letting their guard down. Navy property has fallen into the wrong hands and it’s up to them to diffuse the situation before it becomes an international incident. The novel begins and ends in Caroline’s hometown in the mountains of North Carolina. In between, intrigue and stops in such places as Naples, Italy; Nice, France; Paris, France; and London, England; not to mention a hair-raising and nail biting assassination in Marina, Egypt. Adrenaline will keep you on the edge of your seat as you are launched off an aircraft carrier with the quarreling duo.

Upcoming release of the sequel is due late summer 2012.

AUTHOR BIO:

Chapter One. I am born!

Oh wait, sorry. I was channeling Charles Dickens. I was southern born, southern bred, and when I die I’ll be southern dead. Just like in my novel, Unwritten, I am from a small town in western North Carolina- Franklin. It’s very close knit, warm, friendly, and picturesque. I left it for a short time for a foray of living in Paris and then in Atlanta. I missed my home, so I returned.

After being bitten by the creative bug at an early age due to injuries, I took pictures and wrote stories. I didn’t think anything would ever come of it. Little did I know, those passions would eventually pay the bills. Thanks be to GOD! I felt so creatively stifled behind a desk. I hated every single job I had. I recently retired from wedding photography after ten years. I work as a small business consultant.

SYNOPSIS:

It started with a glance. And ended with a nightmare.

Small-town girl Haley Montgomery meets two men who will change her life forever — the handsome Marc Vincetti whom she falls head-over-heels for, and the big-time Hollywood producer Allen Michaels who has the power to turn her screenplay into a movie and a ticket to a better future.

It seems as though life couldn’t get any better — until things take a decidedly dark turn when Haley spots Marc with his former high school sweetheart and Allen develops a consuming obsession with her.

As Haley is faced with a choice between love and fame, Marc becomes the target of a stalker and Haley’s life is thrown into a tailspin. Suddenly everything she thought she knew about Marc and Allen is completely wrong — and Haley’s life will never be the same again…

AUTHOR BIO:
Pamela Crane’s addiction to writing started with a children’s short story competition and a first place win for her fable Weedlia’s Fate. Now, decades later, along with being a wife and mother, she’s nurtured her love of writing to build a career as an editor and novelist. Along with shaping quirky characters and plotlines that reflect glimpses of her own life, she enjoys riding her proud Arabian horse — when he lets her. She has a passion for ministry, and her hopes are to keep earning enough from her writing to travel the world in search of some good story material.
