I was honored that THE THINGS I DO FOR YOU was nominated for the Romantic Times Seal of Excellence for the month of August, and for the great write up:

The Things I Do for You by Mary Carter is perfect for mainstream readers that like an extra helping of romance in the books they love. This tale about a married couple who leaves their lives in New York City to open a B&B in a lighthouse in the wake of a near-death experience will have you furiously flipping pages, desperate to see what happens next. The story, which reveals layers upon layers as the narrative unfolds, calls into question what really happens when a person sustains serious brain injuries, and considers the idea that perhaps love can be killed even if a person survives. Set against the stark backdrop of an island in the Hudson River, this story delivers an intriguing mystery, sweet romance and, most importantly, two characters who will live on in readers' memories long after the end of the novel.
