On a snowy night in Angel Ridge, two strangers share an
unforgettable kiss.
Years later, Frannie Thompson is back in Angel Ridge to
start a new life and a non–profit. When she meets with
Patrick Houston, the town's mayor, to request a spot on the
agenda of the next meeting of the Town Council, she comes
face to face with the man she'd kissed on a snowy night
years before. A very married man.
Frannie had been a woman reeling from the loss of her
sister, Angel Ridge's newspaper editor, Jenny Thompson (I'll
Be There). Patrick had been drowning his sorrows to numb the
pain of his wife's cancer and more. Kissing Frannie when he
wasn't free had been unforgiveable. But now, with his life
on track, he's trying to make amends and raise his children
as a sober, single parent. But coming face to face with
Frannie again, the intense feelings she stirs have him
wondering if he could have a second shot at forever.
Getting a non–profit off the ground and overcoming
town opposition requires Frannie's full attention. She
doesn't need the distraction of a man who wants to earn her
forgiveness and trust. Frannie knows she's wrong for him,
but despite her effort to remain focused on her business,
her body remembers the promise of passion and Patrick.
Your office sounds great and I love your attitude! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! (Renee Pajda 12:43pm November 21, 2012)
As a small girl, I watched the movie "The Miracle Worker." I was moved so much, that I took the Autobiography of Helen Keller out of the library and read it. She became an inspiration to me, and I tried to pattern my life after her the best I could. Little did I know that in just a few years, I would suffer an injury that would alter the rest of my life. Just as I was adapting to my "new normal," I had a freak accident almost 3 years ago in a parking lot of a store. I am still trying to recover from these injuries, but with faith, and a lot of determination, I hope that I can deal with it better than I am now. The memory loss is the worst part for me, and also the most embarassing, although on certain days the pain sometimes overtakes it. I can understand where your posting is coming from, and will have to read your books!! Unless a person has been through a trauma, they really don't understand what it's like, and what it's like to celebrate certain milestones. Congratulations!! (Peggy Roberson 8:33pm November 22, 2012)
I love these kind of shows during the Holidays. I see them as inspirational to deal with the bad and the good. (Kai Wong 7:11pm November 23, 2012)
Your scenes in the book remind me of movies I've seen where things don't work out the way you expect, but somehow it doesn't matter in the long run. Since what you end up getting is a version that's better anyways. Meeting up with people is all about timing and the stages you are going through at the moment. At times, it kindof grows on you, the person you become and the person in front of you, that you decide is worthy of friendship and all that goes along with it. (Alyson Widen 8:34pm November 26, 2012)
