All of that changes when they wake up in another life.

Two Hearts In Love

It’s amazing how we give up on finding true love when we reach a certain age in life. Okay, so you’re set in your ways. Or you think there’s no one really out there for you. Better yet, you think you have nothing to offer because you’re not perfect at your age. Who is?

Your chance at love could be there staring you in the face, and what do you do, ignore it behind all of your foolishness. I’m on a cane, I have arthritis, going bald, overweight. Lord you name it!

Thank God, your heart has a mind of its own and led you in the right direction, to your forever love.

John Henry Randolph has been in love with Madelyn Jacobs far too long. He had given advice to his boys as to how to claim their chosen woman.

Even bragged about him setting the groundwork to claim his. He found out it was easier said than done. Madelyn Jacobs was making it hard for him because of valid reasons, she thought.

Nevertheless, the heart wants what the heart wants, and eventually will have its way.

Truth. Blaire "House Honey" Sommers has always found Julian Phillips disarmingly handsome. Who wouldn't? A towering, broad-shouldered specimen like him.

Unfortunately, the man is a little too weird and quiet for Blaire's taste. When he deigns to speak, he often takes too long to respond to simple questions. What's up with that? Not to mention, he's the master of the tight-lipped "struggle" smile.

When he approaches Blaire for help finding his next home, she could palm him off on a colleague. Intense curiosity about this enigma of a man drives Blaire to keep him for herself. Just as a client. Don't get it twisted. She's a real estate TV star willing to give this hunk the friends-and-family treatment.

Never in his life has Julian Phillips met a woman so friggin' chatty! But that motormouth of hers is just one feature on a gorgeous face. And those boom-boom curves... Mercy! Plenty of goodness for a man to hold on to.

Julian has spent a while observing her from a comfortable distance. He's aware of the games this bombshell plays with men who make the mistake of falling for her.

Still, he doesn't have a problem seeking her professional advice, now that he's in the market for another home and a little hot fun. A more unsuspecting dude could get snared in a honeytrap like that.

If nothing else, Julian is careful.

He saved her life, then stole her heart….

To escape an arranged marriage, Mia Carlson, daughter of a U.S. senator, instead elopes with the man she loves. As they are escaping from her Virginia home, heading west, their wagon train is brutally attacked, leaving Mia alone and in grave danger. Rescue comes from a most unlikely source, a passing Lakota scouting party, led by the darkly handsome Indian, Brave Wolf.

Although Brave Wolf has consented to guide Mia to the nearest trading post, he holds himself apart from her, for his commitments lie elsewhere. But long days on the trail lead to a deep connection with the red-haired beauty. Yet, he can’t stop wondering why death and danger stalk this beautiful woman, forcing him to rescue her time and again. Who is doing this, and why?

One thing is clear, however: Amid the flurry of dodging assassin bullets, Brave Wolf and Mia come into possession of a powerful love. But is it all for naught? Will Brave Wolf’s obligations and Mia’s secret enemy from the past finally succeed in the sinister plot to destroy their love forever?

Warning: Sensuous romance and cameo appearances of Tahiska and Kristina from the book, Lakota Surrender, might cause a happily-ever-after to warm your heart.
