A new romance release that definitely caught my attention comes from author Donna Simonetta, who is the guest today in My Writing Corner.
Donna is a Maryland author who says she is living her dream life. She worked in business for years and got her MLS and then went to work in a library and now she has become a published author. She says her husband is her real life romantic hero so it sounds like her dreams really have come true. She writes contemporary and fantasy romance and her newest book is A Sweeter Spot. The story sounds like good holiday romantic reading:
Magda knows a 28-year-old shouldn’t run away from home, but Rivers Bend is the ideal escape. Helping out her best friend will get her away from her uber-wealthy, controlling grandmother and duplicitous ex. She doesn’t expect the quirky little town to feel so much like home. Add in hotter-than-the-sun Jeff and his daughter, and leaving seems as unthinkable as it is inevitable.
Raising Sam alone, Jeff knew he wanted her to grow up in
his supportive hometown. The arrival of a feisty new tenant sends Jeff's world
spinning. Magda fills a void in his life that he’d like to make permanent.
Will love triumph over the most powerful woman in the
country, and can they figure out how to make this happy-for-now in Rivers Bend
into their happy-ever-after?

“Being cheated on is no fun. It
happened to me once. Up here,” he tapped his forehead. “You know it’s not your
fault. But here,” he tapped his chest over his heart. “You feel like it has to
be your fault – like you could’ve done something to prevent it. But you
couldn’t have. It’s all on him, Maggie. Not you.”
She picked a dandelion, whose
flower had turned into a puffball, and blew on it, scattering the fluff to the
wind. “Maybe. Maybe not. But thanks for the support.”
She pushed to her feet and took a couple
of steps toward the river. Jeff rose and followed.
How could he be so angry at a man
he didn’t even know? How could this Pierce jerk have slept around on a woman
like Maggie? And the prick had even made her doubt herself in the process. It
was written all over her anguished face.
He stood behind her and gently
kneaded her shoulders. He turned her to face him and cupped her face in his big
hands.
“This Pierce guy is the biggest
fool on earth to go to someone else when he had you at home, Maggie.”
She blinked away tears, and he felt
his heart constrict. Before he could think it through and decide it was a
really bad idea, Jeff dipped his head and captured Magda’s lips in a gentle
kiss.
