Grace has given up on romance, on almost everything, since Rick Fleming betrayed her faith  in him five years ago. Given her constant struggle with bad luck (her friend Murphy), being  insanely accident prone, and having been the target of endless ridicule growing up, she has no  reason to trust anyone. Rick made some mistakes as a boy, and as a young man, his worst was hurting Grace Evans.  His heart still belongs to her, even if she doesn’t know it. Unfortunately, in the last confrontation  between them, she demanded he never speak to her again. Now, Grace’s best friend (and Rick’s sister) Hannah has invited her to a ten-day summer  work-vacation to babysit Hannah’s teen cousins. A palatial cabin, a patio boat on the lake, and  all the comforts of the rich and famous at their fingertips? A vacation made in heaven. At least until they arrive and Grace finds Rick there. And neither can leave. Rick’s car is in  pieces in...

Susan was born and raised a Southern California girl but is grateful to have lived on the  Oregon coast and in the Rocky Mountains of northern Utah. She’s now enjoying living with her  husband in the incomparable beauty of the Redwood forest, nestled against the rugged coast of  Northern California. Susan raised a tribe of children, making ends meet as a registered nurse and lactation  consultant, and now her tribe members have tribes of their own and she doesn’t get to see enough  of them. She loves to travel and is thrilled with a good movie or a great book, but writing is her  passion. She writes almost anything, especially epic fantasy and romance. Susan would love to hear your comments. Please review her book at your favorite retailer or  at Goodreads.
