Susan Meier | Chasing the Runaway Bride

facebooktwitterblog

Happy Thanksgiving!

We always think of heroes and heroines in romance novels as being lucky, but most have to go through some trials before they reach their happily ever after. Cade Donovan and Piper O’Riley of CHASING THE RUNWAY BRIDE are no exception. In fact, Cade relentlessly pursues Piper until she just can’t resist anymore. LOL

That’s the fun part.

As soon as they give in to their attraction, real life intrudes. Neither Cade
nor Piper had a happy childhood. Both have been the object of gossip and scorn.
But it isn’t the gossip that makes their happily ever after so difficult to
reach. It’s something inside of each of them. They’ve both trusted before and
they’ve both been burned.

Piper was a two-time runaway bride. Cade was a no-show groom. When someone’s
hurt you enough that can’t quite seal the deal, even though an entire town is
waiting in the church…can you ever really love again?

That’s the question Piper and Cade face. Even if CHASING THE RUNAWAY BRIDE is in a fun story, this hero and heroine face one of life’s most difficult questions with just enough humility and truth that you root for them until the last page.

And that’s what they’re grateful for.

In this Thanksgiving week, I took a look at Piper and Cade and realized that
they are the most thankful for is the newfound ability to really look before
they leap. :O

How about you? Is there something you’re especially grateful for this Thanksgiving?

One commenter will receive an ebook copy of HER SUMMER WITH THE MARINE, book 1 in the Donovan Brothers Novels series!

This year, I am blessed to have both my sons home for Thanksgiving. And Christmas.
We have a wonderful granddaughter. She lives near by so I get to see her often.
I am thankful we now live in the desert. No longer do I have to worry about the weather putting a kibosh on family things. I love that.
And so very thankful to live in the United State. God bless America.

I am thankful for the time given to me to help my mother-

wasn't easy, but it was worth it.
