Romance Suspense | Romance Erotica Sensual

Still reeling from her mother’s death, news anchor Jane Caldwell’s life is upended further when she learns the father she lost twenty years ago is still alive. Her mother’s will unleashes a manhunt—the Caldwell sisters must find their father, or their mother’s estate will not be settled, and their questions about his disappearance will remain unanswered.

Jane’s search leads her to Guatemala to investigate a man who claims to be her father and heir to the family fortune. Needing a translator, she enlists enigmatic Harrison DeNeuve, a sexy ex-patriot with a penchant for wearing dark sunglasses in public.

As Jane struggles to reunite with her would-be father, Harrison fights to suppress his desire for Jane. He has a secret—one he’s sequestered himself in a third-world jungle hideaway to keep safe—and falling for Jane puts more than his heart at risk.

Jane finds two men in Guatemala—a father and a lover—but can she trust either of them?

Re: Hold Me

Wish I believed in true love. I actually do as in my parents case but don't believe it happens anymore. Sometimes I wish I had been born in another time so I could experience true love.
I am not saying I have never had my heart broken. More than my share and I believe it does make the heart hurt but enjoy true love, never have had it.

Hey Vicki. Don't give up. You'll find him one day, I'll bet.
(Lucianne Rivers 2:12am July 24, 2011)

I didn't find true love either, but like Vicki I know couples who have been together since they married. At one point, my mother didn't think she could continue staying with my father. The war had changed him too much. It was only with the help of the pastor who married them that they became reconciled for over 40 years of marriage until my father passed away close to 10 years after a massive stroke. Two of my siblings are still married two their spouses after 35 and 34 years. My one brother divorced his first wife after she left him. He was married more than 25 years to his second wife before succumbing to cancer this spring. None of my close friends have been divorced either. So I still believe in marriage. I think that some people may go into marriage with unrealistic views. Especially these days it seems that some people, maybe men especially, have think that only good sex is necessary and don't take anything into account. Fortunately, I never really suffered from a broken heart. I just came to the conclusion that I would not make a good wife.

I chose much better the second time around... :)

It's definitely worth searching for! Life's too short to settle for being in an unhappy relationship...

And reading romance helps us remember that temporary insanity. Best of all
with your new release.
(Louisa Bacio 3:00am July 24, 2011)

I've never had a broken heart (I've been married for twenty years) but I believe it could happen, and I think maybe you need to believe that to really enjoy reading romance. Good luck with the release!
(Nina Croft 5:02am July 24, 2011)

And knowing you believe that, Lucianne, I'll look forward to the next exiting novel you write as well. All the best with your release.
Cheers, Rayka
(Rayka Mennen 5:05am July 24, 2011)

I love this. And I am totally a believer in true love...but it took me a while to get
there.
(Christa Desir 9:27am July 24, 2011)

Ironically this post came at a great time. Had my heart broken just a little bit last night. :( Going to use this in my revenge. I can't wait to read this series. Happy Writing!!!

BROKEN HEART SYNDROME..I AM IN IT TO WIN IT!
(Silvana Moscato 11:34am July 24, 2011)

My son nearly died of a broken heart a year ago... his first. Luckily he's
recovered. Completely healed heart and a new love.

Thank goodness for hope!

I would love to go back to the state of temporary insanity in my marriage, but feel that it is unretrievable at ths point. For now we are two entities that just just exist - like two ships that pass in the night. Yes, there are times when our ships sideswipe one another, and our bow lights do glow slightly, but yet mine tends to glow a bit brighter at all times. Perhaps I was always the optimistic dreamer who walked around with rose colored glaases on. It's too bad, because life could have been so much happier. That is why I look forward to books such as yours to escape my world, and enter yours, if at least for a little while. Congratulations, and best of luck with the book and future endeavors. Please keep my escapes coming. Your post caught me at a weak moment today, and I just needed to vent today. I apologize.

True love is a letting go of what's known to hug something new and to hold onto what's important in a friendly relationship. I've found that those close to one another do feel heartbreak when something tragic happens. It affects their very soul and wreaks havoc with their body making them vulnerable to attacks on the immune system. It's like the fights gone out of them and they're left with little support until they find roots again and can grow.
(Alyson Widen 1:19pm July 24, 2011)

It's so easy to become roomies, isn't it, Peggy? I hope things
get better for you both.
(Lucianne Rivers 7:40pm July 24, 2011)

Thanks for your comments, ladies. It's such a fascinating
discussion.
(Lucianne Rivers 7:41pm July 24, 2011)

I was rushed to the hospital my family thinking I was having a heart
attack, pain unable to breath, throwing off erratic heartbeats than
none..but I was in my 20s. Stress test, echo test, even a catherization...
Cardiomyopathy. No I never used drugs, never abused my body... But
the strain of others harming me, breaking me, could that have done
it..possible. there is medicine out there but I can't take it, so I am
monitored all the time. The ticker inside, a ticking time clock reminder to
live each day to its fullest. I would love to read your book.
(Carla Carlson 9:04pm July 24, 2011)

Hi Lucy, I believe and have been gifted with true love and yes it is not always perfect but it is for me. Alan and I have been married for 32 years this October and I would marry him again , knowing everything I know today. I always said a good marriage is like winning the lottery-its a crap shoot LOL.This is why I write mysteries with romantic elements.
(Marian Lanouette 9:36pm July 24, 2011)

Wow, Carla. That's intense. I hope you become stronger
physically, if that's in the cards. Best wishes. Lucy
(Lucianne Rivers 10:54am July 25, 2011)

Hey Marian! That's so awesome. It's so affirming to hear of
experiences like yours. You haven't just settled, you have the
real deal, sounds like. I have so much admiration for you
both. Lucy
(Lucianne Rivers 10:55am July 25, 2011)

Um, maybe you could write about YOUR life? I'd so read it!

I'd like to read that long story!!
(Michele Powell 1:01pm July 25, 2011)

Sigh, Michele. Indeed it is VERY long...
(Lucianne Rivers 1:07pm July 25, 2011)

True love never came my way but I keep clapping. The men that I have met love themselves so much that there is not enough room to love another person that much. Maybe they are just afraid to show it.
(Kathleen Yohanna 1:59pm July 25, 2011)

True love came my way and I love my husband more now than when I first married him. I do believe in True Love and I would definately be very very sad were I to lose him. I think you can die of a broken heart I think seniors do that very often!
