THERE IS A TIME TO LET GO OF LOVE...AND A TIME TO FIND IT AGAIN. Every woman faces a moment when she discovers nothing stays the same forever... not even love. For beautiful Sharon Thompson, giving herself completely to a man for the first time, life was springtime' and promises... until tragedy struck. In one terrible, brutal instant, her handsome young lover was dead, and the Maitlands, his wealthy, aristocratic family, wouldn't believe that the child she carried was his. Now all Sharon had was her determination to make it on her own. In Santa Fe's elite artist colony and in glitzy oil-rich Dallas, she dared to become a woman ... and found everything but her heart. Then a life-and-death crisis drove her to a man she once feared and hated--powerful Reid Maitland. And soon Sharon would find herself in a new season that could bring passion and heartbreak--or passion and her most precious dreams.

Hill country Harvest should provide a relief from tension. Reading is like taking a walk through the woods.

"The release of Blacklight's double CD, Book of Days, looks like business as usual. The relaxed tour showcases a revolutionary new set design, as well as Bombardiers keyboard ace Tony Mancuso along as a guest. No one can predict what happens next: the CD goes multi-platinum, generating the need for a very different kind of tour. At first, everything seems fine. It takes a while before guitarist JP Kinkaid realises something very dark is going on: a string of deaths, following Blacklight show nights. Things come to a head when a longtime member of Blacklight's extended touring family is killed. At the band's request, Homicide detective Patrick Ormand investigates, but uncovering the reason behind the deaths may be a lot easier than healing the wounds those deaths have caused"--P. of cover.
