Romance Contemporary

Journalist Meredith Hale's ex-husband claimed her Nora Roberts addiction gave her unrealistic expectations about marriage, and she believed him. All dreams of happily ever after or Nora Roberts Land as her mother calls it-went up in smoke. But when her family asks her to temporarily help their Dare Valley, Colorado newspaper, she decides it's time to change her life and prove her ex wrong. She's determined to find her own small-town Nora Roberts hero, prove that true love exists, and publish a story about her quest.

War correspondent Tanner McBride has just returned stateside to work for a major newspaper, and the last thing he expects is blackmail. Yet, before he can even unpack, he's headed to Colorado. His assignment? Make his boss's ex-wife fall for him and then break her heart. Her article about discovering love à la Nora might air dirty laundry about her marriage to the media mogul, threatening his senate run. The mogul wants Meredith stopped, and he makes sure Tanner has no choice in the matter.

When the two meet, the sparks between them are undeniable. Meredith, who vowed never to date another journalist, begins to succumb. Could Tanner be her Nora Roberts hero? As they work together to uncover the truth behind a suspicious death, the depth of their feelings unfolds and both realize they've kept their secrets for far too long. But before the truth can be revealed, their investigation takes a deadly turn, one that might make Meredith's personal Nora Roberts Land go up in flames.

Re: Nora Roberts Land

Apparantly I'm missing out on something, because I've never read a Nora Roberts book before, even though I've seen her books plastered everywhere I look when I go to the store, a thousand times!! She seems to have an endless supply of material, which apparantly is to her credit. I feel badly for your Sister, since divorce is never easy, but usually better things stem from it. I wish her well. As for your book, I'm anxious to read it for personal reasons. I'm hoping it will be a stepping stone, too, to get me started, not only on your books, but on Nora Roberts' books as well!! Congratulations on what I'm sure will be a bit hit!!

Having read all of Nora Roberts' books (as well as those written under her
pseudonym, J.D. Robb) the title of your book sounded fun and intriguing.
It sounds like a really enjoyable read and my kind of book! Congratulations
and thanks for the giveaway!!! Way to make lemonade!!!

I can't believe there isn't anyone of the female species that hasn't read
Nora Roberts. Her characters are great. It will be fun to see what you so
with them. Great concept.

I love Nora Roberts. I love that you are writing your
sister's story which most of us can relate to because we have
either being through it ourselves or have a friend that has
being in this situation.

I read and enjoyed one of Roberts' books, got another waiting. I'm just wondering how your book will be shelved in a bookstore - it'll confuse someone no matter where they are put!

I like the premise and think that you have garnered a set of
readers who already like romance and give them more of what
they like.

Hello, my name is Brigitte. I'm making an attempt to familiarize myself with the wonderful world of writing. I have Nora Roberts on my long list of books to read. I haven't been able to read due to catoring to my boys. They're in school now, and I have time to revisit my writing. Ava, it sounds to me like your brother-n-law is trying to blame someone else in the demise of his marriage. Look at it like this: your sister should be happier, and you have a story (if its okay with your sis)! ;-)

I have read all the Nora Roberts books I could and find what you're doing great. Can't wait to read it and thank you for the chance to win !!
