Alone and stricken with grief, she shouldered the blame and eventually closed her heart off, refusing to open it for another. After all, anytime she tried, guilt and regret were waiting in the wings to remind her how painful it was. A bet and one steamy night with a stranger force Ari to confront all she's been hiding behind. She tries to move on, but he refuses to stand down, wanting what she is terrified to give-herself. This man may very well destroy her in the end, especially when it's clear he has his own demons. What happens when two broken souls come together, finally allowing themselves to believe in the beauty of love ... only to have to fight harder than ever to keep it?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If after five years you don’t think you owe me at least that amount of respect, then you’re not the man I thought you were Gibraltar. How could you just disappear for eight days with no explanation.” “Look Harper, I told you … it was work. I got called out of town at the last minute. I was handpicked to do that security job. Do you know what it means to be selected to provide personal security for a client like that? I worked 16 hour days; eight days straight. I was tired as hell when I fell into bed at night, and then I had to get up and do it all over again the next day. Look, I’m sorry …" “Let me ask you this … you said your client didn’t want you using personal cell phones on the job. But the last time I checked, there were 24 hours in a day. You worked 16. By my calculations, that left you eight hours to pee, bathe, eat, fart, brush your teeth … and anything else you wanted to do. Did you do all of that?” “Don’t look at me like I have two heads. Answer me dammit!” Harper screamed. “And your point is?” Gibraltar said, folding his arms across his massive chest. “My point is,” Harper hissed, “you had time to send a two-second text or leave a ten-second voice message. Your phone is like an appendage. You always have it with you, so I know that wasn’t the problem. I didn’t warrant a few seconds of your time? Really! That’s what hurts the most,” Harper continued, a sob settling somewhere in the middle of her chest. “You know what I realized as I was worrying myself sick over you those eight days? I realized that you never go out of your way for me Gibraltar. Never. It always – always – has to be convenient for you to have any type of interaction with me,” Harper said on a whisper. “I thought,” she said, futilely trying to keep her cheeks dry of tears, “give him time. He’ll see how happy we could be together. But then there was always that little voice inside that said, ‘He only calls when it’s convenient Harper. Like when he’s had enough sleep, or when he gets the next day off, or when he’s done at the gym, or when he doesn’t have to do overtime.’” “I tried so hard not to be one of these pushy women who’s always pressuring her man to do something. I wanted you to be with me because you wanted to; not because I put pressure on you. I thought that if you could see that I wasn’t one of ‘those’ kinds of women, you’d respect me more; that you’d see what life could be like for us together. But it seems like the more I didn’t ask anything of you, the less you gave.” “But I loved you. I still love you. So I made myself believe that it didn’t matter. That you just needed time. I see clearly now that there was never going to come a time because you know what? Life has a funny way of being ridiculously inconvenient. But when you care for someone …” Harper let her voice trail off. Running the back of her left hand over her cheek to stop another tear midstream, she continued, “But I can’t pretend any more that I'm some modern woman who has all her shit together and is okay with this type of casual relationship.” “I’m not. I’m a real woman with real feelings. And the way you treat me hurts … it hurts like hell,” Harper said. “And it’s been eating away at my soul for a long time.” Harper took her time to dry every tear. Then she looked into the dark-brown eyes of the man she’d loved for five years and said what she knew she’d needed to say for a long time. “I really should probably thank you, because who knows how long I would have let whatever it is we call this supposed relationship go on had this not happened.” “Harper look …” Gibraltar started, feeling the need to say something. “Gibraltar you don’t need to say anything. Your actions have said it all – for five years now.” Harper opened the front door of her apartment. Gibraltar walked out. She closed the door silently behind him and clicked the lock -- on a past that should have ended long ago … and a future that was never meant to be. ### interracial romance, bwwm romance, african american romance, contemporary Christian romance, multiracial romance, short story romance, short romance, christan romance, religious romance

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witemeyer Returns with Her Trademark Blend of Adventure, Romance, and Humor Grace Mallory is tired of running, of hiding. But when an old friend sends an after-hours telegraph transmission warning Grace that the man who has hunted her for nearly a year has discovered her location, she fears she has no choice. She can't let the villain she believes responsible for her father's death release his wrath in Harper's Station, the town that has sheltered her and blessed her with the dearest friends she's ever known. Amos Bledsoe prefers bicycles to horses and private conversations over the telegraph wire to social gatherings with young ladies who see him as nothing more than an oddity. His telegraph companion, the mysterious Miss G, listens eagerly to his ramblings every night and delights him with tales all her own. For months, their friendship--dare he believe, courtship?--has fed his hope that he has finally found the woman God intended for him. Yet when he takes the next step to meet her in person, he discovers her life is in peril, and Amos must decide if he can shed the cocoon of his quiet nature to become the hero Grace requires.

Book excerpt: A Word from the Author“It is no longer the sexual which is indecent, it is the sentimental.”~Roland BarthesWhy this book; this subject matter?My romance novels are inspired by many things – from my own personal situations, to stories I hear about from friends, to TV shows, to movies, to conversations I overhear in bars, to dreams I’ve had, to books I read – as a writer, inspiration is everywhere.This is my first Christian romance. I was inspired to write it because as a modern woman of a certain age, I believe you look back on your personal/romantic life and wish you’d done some things differently.Not that you necessarily regret your past, but that you wish you’d recognized certain patterns earlier so that you could have prevented some of the heartache.As the quote at the top of this section alludes to, I believe many of us think nothing of opening our bodies up to a man, but we cringe at the thought of asking them to open up their hearts to us. We don’t want to seem needy or pushy or prudish or out of touch.As women, I think too many of us stay stuck in patterns in our relationships. We choose the same partners – different men with the same behavior patterns – over and over again. And we wonder why we can’t seem to “get it right.”One Sunday after I’d started this book, I saw a sermon by pastor Joel Osteen that talked about the potter’s wheel.“… Jeremiah uses the analogy of the [potter’s] wheel as a type that represents the workings of God as He molds and shapes either a person or a nation into the kind of vessel He desires. … the wheel represents the training He gives, and sometimes the discipline necessary in order that He may obtain the results He desires to have. In EZE 1:15 Wheels always represent progress, motion, purpose, accomplishment.~GBible.orgThe foundational message of that sermon was that no one comes into your life by accident; that God uses what you may think are difficult people, circumstances and situations to make you a better person.Every person is there to help teach you a lesson. He went on to say, the great thing about it is, if you don’t get the message the first time, you’ll keep repeating the same pattern(s) until you learn the lesson you’re supposed to from the experience.The pastor explained that God made you to shine, to be happy, fulfilled and loved. He doesn’t want you to be sad, heartbroken and lonely. But if you keep choosing the wrong person (ie, don’t get the lesson), then it’s because you haven’t learned the lesson.The main character in this novel, Harper, keeps getting off the potter’s wheel. She keeps doing things her way – instead of letting God direct her choices in love.Because of this, she’s stuck in a pattern with men and after her latest boyfriend breaks her heart, she’s so devastated, she knows that she has to do something different – or she feels she’ll wind up alone, sad and broken. Again, the very opposite of what God created you to be.One thought that kept coming to me before I started writing this book is that as women, we need to take better care of our hearts – the journey to happiness and fulfillment requires it.Will you recognize yourself in Harper? Do you keep stepping off the potter’s wheel? Do you keep repeating mistakes with men in your life that keep leading to heartache? Do you know how to find your way out of it?Maybe Harper’s journey will help – at...
