With a nickname like "Candi Heart" and a plan to open a
frilly lingerie and perfume shop called Heart's Desire,
Lark Hensley knows she may raise some eyebrows by moving to
quiet little Angel Ridge, Tennessee. She hopes no one
remembers that the women in her family were once accused of
being seductive witches by townsfolk, and that decades ago
her moonshiner grandpa committed a deadly crime. Lark has
questions she can't answer and secrets she doesn't want to
share, especially with Angel Ridge Sheriff Grady Wallace,
even if Grady is hard to resist.
Grady falls hard and quick
for the new mystery woman in town, though he's determined
to find out what she's hiding. Angel Ridge's
one–woman Welcome Committee, Dixie Ferguson, has
taken a liking to Candi Heart, and Dixie's instincts about
newcomers are rarely wrong. But maybe not this
time . . .
Grady never intended to follow the Wallace family
tradition of lawmen, but when his father died young,
rebellious Grady grew quickly into the role of staunch town
defender. Candi Heart may not have meant to bring trouble
to his town, but she has.
Someone does remember her family.
That someone wants her to leave . . . or to die. An unknown
driver tries to run her down. Her shop is broken into.
Rumors begin to swirl.Suddenly Grady is caught between his
duty and his heart's desire for Candi.
Wish I could download this book but I do not have any e-readers...I LOVE holding the books! Thanks anyway. I will look for it though. (Bonnie Capuano 7:57am January 5, 2014)
i cant wait to read this one thanks so much denise smith [email protected] (Denise Smith 9:30am January 5, 2014)
I don't own an e-reader, either, but would love to read this book!! Although I'm not that old, I never buried dishrags to dig up again and treat warts, but I have used sweet oil in my ears, as well as others, to treat earaches!! As for that 6th sense, I have a touch of that, too!! One day, for example, I was on the phone with my Girlfriend. Out of the blue, I said to her to "be careful." She told me that she was just staying home that night and fixing dinner. Later that night, I received a call back from her, letting me know that she had just got back from emergency. While she was cutting up vegetables for dinner, she slipped with the knife, and cut her finger open bad enough where she had to go to the hospital for stitches!! It's not the first time I have warned someone about something before, and it's sort of scary, but I've learned to embrace it and use it on those that will accept my advice. That's about all you can do under the circumstances. Your book sounds really good, and I wish that you would have given the winner a choice of hard copy or e-book.

We have "those women" in my family too. I also remember the oil I'm my ear with the cotton balls and other seemingly strange cures. But they work. I can't wait to read this you have me hooked. (Patti Paonessa 11:34am January 5, 2014)
I'm anxious to read this book and I do have a Kindle. Thanks for giving us a chance to win. (Anna Speed 1:32pm January 5, 2014)
Grandmothers are wonderful. I remember the mustard plasters, socks filled and heated with salt. Yikes , makes you not want to tell gramdma if you have an ear ache or getting a chest cold. (Barbara Wells 1:34pm January 5, 2014)
I have always been fascinated by the stories you describe. Don't believe that I am particularly intuitive myself, though. (G. Bisbjerg 1:40pm January 5, 2014)
Can't wait to read. I had a really great Grandmother,she had lots of cures that ail you. Thanks for a chance to win your book. (Linda Hall 1:41pm January 5, 2014)

I loved your blog. My momma was Irish and called Jan. 6th little Christmas. Our Christmas tree stayed up thru the 6th, then all the decorations were put away for another year. I still hold on to this tradition. Of course, this year we didn't put the tree up until Dec. 22 - and only had light(white came on the tree) a silver star and 48 candy canes (varying flavors) that my almost 4 year old grandson Colin put on the tree! It is beautiful!
Thanks for the giveaway ! Happy New Year! (Kimberley Coover 2:13pm January 5, 2014)
Congrats on the Holt Medallion Award. One thing I just love about my grandmother was she was never judgmental. She has always turn a negative situation into a positive situation by making me see a light in my thinking. (Kai Wong 2:30pm January 5, 2014)

I lived in Georgia for many years and there was a lady who could 'conjure' away warts.... among other talents. One of the tricks was that after she worked her little spell, you couldn't think about the wart or the spell for a week or your wart wouldn't fall off. Easier said than done. :-) (Glenda Martillotti 8:54pm January 6, 2014)
My daddy came from the hills of North Carolina. A lot of those old traditions were alive and well in our family. I have always been so annoyed by folks who think the 12 days of Christmas starts before the holiday! Today is Epiphany, it is the official 12th day of Christmas. In a perfect world, school breaks would cover us from right before Christmas until after Epiphany. (Marcia Berbeza 12:50pm January 7, 2014)
My family comes from a similar heritage, but it seems only I have the propensity to sometimes know things. I know how to remove warts (but I use a penny), can predict the sex of a pregnant woman's child (using certain tools), etc. People who aren't prepared for such knowledge tend to freak out, so I don't share. Ever. Mostly I don't discuss it anymore and haven't for years. My sister grew up calling me a witch and meaning it, but only in a good way. Thank you for sharing with us; I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post and would love to read the book. [email protected] (Michelle Willms 10:12am January 8, 2014)
happy Old Christmas! (Denise Holcomb 5:43pm January 8, 2014)
