The Valentine Bride

Life doesn't always have happy endings. I struggled with The Valentine Bride for weeks. 2 things influenced the outcome of this story. Machara and Finlay had been together for eleven years. Lost the virginity to each other when they were teenagers. They just couldn't stop loving each other but they couldn't live with each other either. They took everything they had for granted. Fought constantly. Weren't always nice to each other. Then Machara became pregnant with twins. The pregnancy risks her health. There are so many heavy choices that the two of them will have to make. He has to face losing both his daughters and the love of his life. She wants these babies desperately. There is a such a struggle between them. So many regrets for the time that they have wasted. That is all I'm going to tell you. What influenced this novel so much was 2 situations. One was a young mother who at 25 died of cancer. I watched her story online. She had 3 kids under 6. I saw her husband on his knees praying for a miracle. Then another young mother also 25. Also with 3 kids under 5 was discarded by her husband. He told her didn't love her anymore. Just out of the blue. Both situations were high school sweethearts. I just couldn't imagine either situation. So both influenced this novel's emotions so much. I hope everyone likes it.
I had to deal with my feelings somehow. We will see if my sister and my friend who always read my books like it?

The Gifted Bride

The Gifted Bride
A novel in the 7 Brides for 7 Brothers Series

Ian Steward and Lorna Baird have seven children each. They both want them to find happiness, not necessarily together but that wouldn’t hurt them if they did.

Hugh Steward, the youngest of Ian’s boys married Kyle Baird, the youngest of Lorna’s girls. Then Finlay married Machara but she died after giving birth to their daughters. Now he is left to raise their baby daughters alone. Freya Baird is now with Coll Steward and they are expecting a baby too. So many of the other couples getting together are falling apart.

Then there is Georgie Baird. The twins, Davy and Ewan Steward who were in the same class as her all through school. They were her protectors, her best friends after her sisters. Georgie and Davy took their friendship to the next level trying to make something out of fondness for each other and great sex because they were lonely.

Her gift made him uncomfortable. He asked for a break after Machara died. She saw her sister’s death in readings she did for her sisters, Kyle and Dallis. He asked for a break to get his head on straight. A temporary arrangement, he moved in with Ewan. She moved out of his home and in with her sister Greer leaving her engagement ring for him to find.

Georgie knew she couldn’t stay long with Greer. She had her own life to live. Her own relationship issues to contend with. He wasn’t her soul mate any more than she was his.

Three months later, Georgie walked out of the crystal shop and saw Hunter Cole’s tattoo shop. It had always been there but she had never noticed it before. She took a chance.

He walked out of the back, a tall, dark and beautiful man and she was struck speechless. He agreed to do the butterfly tattoo she wanted in memory of her sister. She didn’t know anything about Hunter Cole and he didn’t know how her simple, beauty would affect him.

One tattoo later, they were both smitten. One date later they were inseparable. He understood Georgie and her gift. His grandfather Bear was just like her.

In visions, they have, Georgie and Bear see someone following Hunter. A dark shadow with menacing thoughts. It isn’t clear who it is or who they want to hurt. Their stalker could take away their happiness. They need to find out who it is before it is too late.
