Grafted Vines

It’s often said, when one door closes another opens. But what if, in the end, you’re left standing alone in its threshold?

At fifteen, Dani Valdez lost the most important man in her life—her father. After years of therapy, she’s continued to make one bad choice after another, desperate to sooth the emptiness his death left behind. Even with a fulfilling career as an in-home nurse and caregiver, her personal life is less than stellar. Now in her early thirties, not only is Dani the oldest and curviest girl in her group of friends, but she’s also the last childless, single female. It’s time for her to take a new path, so she’s pushing past her self-doubts and taking control of her destiny. And with her close friend, Zachary, there to support her, she’s confident in her decision. That is, if she can get over the fact that Zachary is the love she’s not meant to have.

Zachary will never forget what it felt like to be hungry and abandoned by his mother in their rundown, dirty apartment. He still couldn’t believe he’d been given a second chance as a teen when Joel Evanwood not only adopted him, but also taught him how to run his vineyard. After an impulsive one night stand with Dani, his best friend, Zachary decides to shut everything out and throw himself into work. He can’t take a risk on a relationship with her, even if he wanted to. But when a devastating diagnoses alters his world, he will reach for the only steady thing in his life—her.

It doesn’t take long before their relationship heads down an uncomfortable road, reminding him of why he can’t give her everything she wants. In order for him to stand by her, he’ll have to deal with old memories he’d rather leave buried.

But is Zachary strong enough to let Dani in to see the painful burden he’s carried from his past? Or will his stubbornness kill any chance they will ever have?

I'm looking for readers that are interested in reviewing (on Amazon) my 3rd contemporary romance novel, Tangled Paths. If you are interested, please email me at authorkimiflores@gmail.com (add "Tangled Paths free e-book for review" on the subject line) and I will be happy to send you the details (limited copies available).

If you've already read the book and haven't had a chance to leave a review on Amazon, I'd be extremely grateful if you wouldn't mind adding one. It doesn't have to be a long description, just one sentence will work.

Thank you in advance!!

Synopsis:

Is it possible to flee your past? Or does it sit patiently, waiting for your return?

Tired of traveling the world in order to escape reality, Bri Hunter has finally found a place to call home. Settled into Santa Barbara, close to her brother and cousin, she’s ready for a little peace. Wanting to avoid the tormenting, incessant calls she receives, she throws herself into helping her sister-in-law’s growing floral business. It doesn’t take long to run smack into the one guy she’d given up on ever seeing again.

It’s been five years since Josh Tucker has sobered up, left his Hollywood lifestyle far behind, and sheltered himself in his horse ranch in Santa Ynez, California. If it hadn’t been for his family, he probably wouldn’t be around to tell his story. When a beautiful brunette shows up at his cousin’s vineyard, something in her spiteful eyes tells him their paths have tangled together before.

As Josh begins to uncover who Bri is, he finds himself falling for her. Will he find a way to convince her to trust him? And will she be able to let go of the past and move forward? When a traumatic event strikes, Bri will have to decide if she’s going to let life continue to cripple her…or set her free.

**This novel includes mature language and adult situations, but there are no detailed sex scenes**

~ Does not contain a cliffhanger, ends with a happily ever after and can be read as a stand alone. ~

Here is my very first video where I share my favorite Christmas song and talk about using the gifts you are giving. AND there might be a little shout out to Duran Duran

Check out Beyond the Valley of the Books blog post from this morning, featuring my critique partner talking about my current work in progress, Relinquished.

VIEWS FROM THE BETA READER  The author doesn’t have a synopsis yet but I can give a little information about this book since I have the great honor of working on it with her.  K.A, as you can see from the author information has published under the name Kimi Flores.  If you have read her Intertwined Hearts series you know she is wonderful at the fluffy romance but she is taking a new style on this time. With a story that will grab your attention and heart in the first chapters, she is bringing you the story of Jules.  Aging out of the foster home she was in, she now finds herself living day to day with no real chance at a future.  The things she endured in the foster home shaped her and set her up for nightmares, terrors and failure in life. Then she meets Holden and Dante, the Riley brothers who see nothing more than a woman who deserves respect.  This isn’t going to be a romantic triangle, it is so much more.  She has done a fabulous job with digging deep and bringing out the rawest emotions we have ever seen from her.  Her flare for the intensity really shines in this book and I am sure you will be as amazed as we are when this book is complete. It is a character driven story and trust me those characters in this book really know how to scream and get their point across.  Keep watching as we get closer to the release date.  I am sure this will be the book that will leave the readers wanting more from K.A. Hunter.

I decided to write a new novel titled, Relinquished, under the pen name, K.A. Hunter. I have no plans of hiding behind the name but the first novel, and others that will follow, is more raw and definitely grittier than my Intertwined Hearts series.



The first 4 chapters have been written into a short story that will appear in an anthology in February 2015 (will post more info once I'm allowed to share) and I anticipate publishing the full novel around July 2015.

Those that have read it confirm that it's nothing like what I've written before and they were blown away. Can't even tell you how happy that makes me :D

I'm also working on the 4th book in the Intertwined Hearts series, Grafted Vines and hope to publish around April 2015.

Here are a couple of teasers for you.
