After college, she acted in dinner theaters, modeled, waitressed, and tended bar. She married Hershey Dennis Possezzere, and after the birth of her third child, she was determined to devote her efforts to her writing: her dream. She sold her first book in 1982.
Today, this author's success is reflected not just by reader response and the over 20 million copies of her books in print, but in many other ways. In addition to being a New York Times bestselling author, Heather has received numerous awards for her novels, including over 20 trade awards from magazines such as Romantic Times and Affaire de Coeur, bestseller awards from B.

She has been published across the world in more than 15 languages and has published over 70 titles, including anthologies and short stories.
Now, she had five children. Somehow, this prolific author manages to juggle it all - family, career, and marriage - while reaching a level of success to which few can aspire.

Excellent read.

This trilogy was originally published as individual books back in 88/89. I picked up this edition at the bookstore sometime in 2002. I just recently found it in the trunk of my car and decided to give it another go! I LOVE anything written about the Civil War, even historical romance.
Book 1. A love/hate story about a yankee woman trying to hang on to her farm on the hostile Arkansas border. Enter confederate hero to save the day. That's the premise, but the story is much juicier! The novel may be kinda short, but it reads like a sweeping southern epic. You'll laugh and maybe cry a little, too.
Book 2. Shannon and Malachi's story! The war is over, but the healing has just begun. And I'm not just referring to the state of the country. These two fierce characters have a hate/hate relationship when they start to wonder if all that passion isn't being wasted. (wink, nudge) You will already love these two when you get to their story and it doesn't disappoint.
Book 3. Unfortunately, this story feels a little obligatory. You will love Jamie as a character, but the novel falls flat compared to the other two. I can't shake the feeling that he was robbed! He was such a patient, peace-maker thus far and he kinda gets saddled with a shrew! It's the reason why this 3 in 1 edition gets 4 stars instead of 5.

DNF'd. It's an 80's romance. Hot trash. Couldn't bring myself to finish the book.
