The Pinehurst #1
Once and Again
Years ago, Jessica Harding gave herself to Nick Armstrong... and lost a piece of her heart in their passion. Now a successful attorney, Jessica returns to her hometown to help a friend in need. And despite her resolve, she loses herself all over again in Nick's intense blue gaze, and allows his hungry kisses to lead her back down memory lane -- a journey she'd vowed never to make again.
Weakened by her golden eyes, Nick Armstrong knows that Jessica is the woman he's been waiting for. And when her body trembles beneath his touch, old memories -- and new hopes -- are awakened. But when it's time to say goodbye, will Nick let his soulmate walk away... again?

About the author
Brenda Harlen
433 books83 followersBrenda’s first love was reading.
According to her mother, she fell in love with books even before she could read and was always content when she had a book in her hands. It didn’t surprise anyone when she decided that she wanted to be a writer, but she was encouraged to pursue “a real job” first.
So she did—she became a lawyer. Two years of practicing law taught her a lot about the world—and reinforced her determination to become a writer. Because in fiction, she could promise a happy ending!
Thankfully, she had already met and married a wonderful man to inspire her fictional heroes. And when she was on maternity leave after the birth of their first son, he encouraged her to take a romance writing course at the local community college. It was while enrolled in this class that she completed her first (still unpublished) manuscript.
Three more manuscripts and another baby followed. And then, in June 2002, she finally got the call from Susan Litman—an editorial assistant and contest judge—offering to buy the manuscript she’d submitted to RWA’s Golden Heart® contest as “From This Moment.” This story was re-titled McIver’s Mission and released by Silhouette Intimate Moments in May 2003.
