Author Note
Hope you are enjoying reading my Chance, Texas series as much as I have enjoyed bringing the books to you. A CHANCE REUNION, the third book in the series, appears in the novella anthology called CHRISTMAS CONFIDENTIAL along with a book by Marilyn Pappano.
I always love my characters, but there are a few who are more difficult to write than the others. Elana Kelly is one of those characters. A woman who lives life on the run, there should be nothing soft about her. But she runs to save both her child and the man she loves and that makes her vulnerable. I was thrilled to give her the happily ever after she deserved.
Private Eye Gage Chance, the third brother in the Chance family, gave me a different kind of story to write. His life came to a halt five years ago when he lost his wife. Crabby and still grief stricken, he's been a thorn in his brothers' side up to now. But he wants to come to terms with his past and begin again. Then when he sees a mysterious woman who looks so much like his dead wife, he finds himself right back in time and unable to move ahead until he gets to the bottom of the mystery.
I hope you'll find as much enjoyment reading this novella as I found in writing it!
