In the fall, Mother Nature shows us how beautiful it is to shed the old, and if we follow suit and let go of our own baggage that weighs us down, we can make room for new love to bloom. You must always be open to love, as you never know when it may enter your life.
Romantic stories and movies show us how unexpected, crazy, beautiful, sometimes tragic, funny, and sexy falling in love can be. They are why I love the genre and will continue to provide you with romantic tales for years to come.
Enjoy a short excerpt from Forever Love:
There was a light rap at the door, and then the director and cast entered the room. They were laughing and joking. Everyone but the last man to appear was happy to be there. One of the producers introduced the director, Chris Whyte, known for his flair for filming dramas. Chris then introduced Davi to the cast. She recognized them all, including Quinn Thomas.
Quinn and Davi stared at each other. For an instant, time stood still. Davi’s heart pounded as she waited for Quinn’s reaction, a sign that last night was not a mistake. Quinn’s face was emotionless as his gaze burned into her. Then Quin’s face broke out into a thin smile as he walked over to Davi and offered her his hand.
“It’s nice to meet you, Davina. I read your book. It was so believable.”
Davi felt the sting from his comment. “Thank you,” she said softly. So, this is the way it’s going to be. You told him you only wanted a one-night stand, Davi. It looks like you got it. He’s moved on.
