And then as if he had one last card to play before the hand was over, he said, "He wanted to remind you about the rose petals." I did not respond. Then for the second time that night, I hung up on Matthew Carlson. He did not call back. Reagan is coping with the death of her mother when a relationship from her past resurfaces.

Download or read book Rose Petals in the Snow written by Mary L. Mathis (taylor) and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you completely emptied your soul of a past love and old emotions that you have been unable to brush off your shoulders and let go? If not, you are a bagman or bag-lady with a suitcase full of stuff.... that is, remembrances of old habits that could be preventing you from moving past emotions you thought were true and absolute love. Rose Petals in the Snow reveals love in many forms. There are expressions of happy love as well as not so happy love, but, it is all real because my inspiration comes from everyone I meet. A belief exists that if a finger is stuck down into the center of a heart, it is possible to touch the soul, and if you listen, the whisper of the heart may be heard. Whether or not this is true, is for one to ponder. If one is in a place of a true spirit of love, truth, understanding and harmony within the self, all things are possible. I do not attempt to answer questions that may or may not have answers, but, I write what lovers see, feel, think and do. I write about respect in love and sometimes disrespect when love has gone terribly wrong. A further intent is to share some of the lessons I have learned through experiencing myself and from the experience of others. The Lesson: In relationships, we must strive to remain human at all times....even with ourselves.

Book excerpt: It has been twelve years since a dark, murderous figure stalked the alleys and courts of Whitechapel. And yet, in the summer of 1900, East London is still poor, still brutal, still a shadow city to its western twin. Among the reformers is an idealistic young woman named India Selwyn-Jones, recently graduated from medical school. With the help of her influential fiancé--Freddie Lytton, an up-and-coming Liberal MP--she works to shut down the area's opium dens that destroy both body and soul. Her selfless activities better her patients' lives and bring her immense gratification, but unfortunately, they also bring her into direct conflict with East London's ruling crime lord--Sid Malone. India is not good for business and at first, Malone wants her out. But against all odds, India and Sid fall in love. Different in nearly every way, they share one thing in common--they're both wounded souls. Their love is impossible and they know it, yet they cling to it desperately. Lytton, India's fiancé, will stop at nothing to marry India and gain her family's fortune. Fractious criminal underlings and rivals conspire against Sid. When Sid is finally betrayed by one of his own, he must flee London to save his life. Mistakenly thinking him dead, India, pregnant and desperate, marries Freddie to provide a father for hers and Sid's child. India and Sid must each make a terrible sacrifice--a sacrifice that will change them both forever. One that will lead them to other lives, and other places...and perhaps--one distant, bittersweet day--back to each other.
