About the Book
Prequel to Bleeding Heart
Old hurts, new betrayals, and a love that survives them all...
Summer 1885
A startling revelation sends Elizabeth Lawson escaping into a stormy night - and tosses her into the arms of a young mountain man with secrets of his own. When he offers to take her to the Nevada mining town where her long-lost brother lives, she accepts. Suspicions and uncertainties are pushed aside as she struggles to forge a future for herself by meeting her past.
David has been hiding from his painful memories for years. The solitude and wildness of the Rocky Mountains are challenge and comfort enough for him - until Elizabeth's arrival. Fueled by anger and a sense of obligation, he strives to take control of his new situation...only to find control slipping from his grasp with each new emotion Elizabeth evokes in him.
When their journey leads them on unexpected paths, can two lonely hearts find the strength to remember the good amid the heartbreak?

Amber, The book cover is beautiful, it catches the theme of your story perfectly. I'm looking forward to it's release. The characters sound very interesting as does the theme of your book. Best wishes on release. I'm sure the notecards are lovely. Thank You
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad you think so, Jackie! :) These characters have been with me for a long time, and the story is very dear to my heart - I hope you'll enjoy it when it releases!
DeleteThank you for the kind words, and good luck in the giveaway!

I like the new cover. I find it interesting that both covers feature women wearing all white. I am not sure which I like best, but leaning towards Forget Me Not. Both are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It kind of just ended up that way with Bleeding Heart - the right model had a white dress, so I worked that scene on the cover into the story. :) Now my cover designer and I have used the white dress as a continued theme through all three covers. So glad you like how these first two turned out!

I liked both covers, but I like this one the best. It's beautiful and it tugs at my heart. If I saw this book in the store, it would catch my eye and I would stop and pick up the book.

I like the Forget Me Not cover better. I like that the girl is not looking at the camera. It makes me think, "What's down there? What is she looking at?" It adds mystery to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
