About this ebook

Leaving Las Vegas . . .

 

Upon discovering the father she's been told was dead is, in fact, alive, thirteen-year-old Rayne Houston runs away, taking along her new friend, the Timinator. They hop a bus to Illinois and so begins their daddy quest.

 

Nicole Houston is frantic when she discovers Rayne is missing. Her lies have come back to haunt her, but when she told them she believed she was doing the right thing for everyone.  She never wanted her daughter to know she was the product of a single night between a stripper and a man bound for the priesthood. Sure, Nicole had believed it was love, but Aaron loved only God.

 

Tortured by his failings, Aaron Luchetti never became a priest.  He never got over his time in Las Vegas; he never got over Nicole. From the moment she steps back into his life, Aaron awakens. Everything about Nicole enthralls him.  Everything about his daughter enchants him.  He wants them to be a family.  But is it too late?

Lori Handeland

Her novels, novellas, and short stories span genres from paranormal and urban fantasy to historical romance. After a quarter-century of success and accolades, she began a new chapter in her career. Marking her women’s fiction debut, Just Once (Severn House, January 2019) is a richly layered novel about two women who love the same man, how their lives intertwine, and their journeys of loss, grief, sacrifice, and forgiveness. While student teaching, Lori started reading a life-changing book, How to Write a Romance and Get It Published. Within its pages. the author, Kathryn Falk, mentioned Romance Writers of America.

Lori sold her first novel, a western historical romance, in 1993. In the years since then, she has written eleven novels in the popular Nightcreature series, five installments in the Phoenix Chronicles, six works of spicy contemporary romance about the Luchettis, a duet of Shakespeare Undead novels, and many more books. Her fiction has won critical acclaim and coveted awards, including two RITA Awards from Romance Writers of America for Best Paranormal Romance (Blue Moon) and Best Long Contemporary Category Romance (The Mommy Quest), a Romantic Times Award for Best Harlequin Superromance (A Soldier’s Quest), and a National Reader’s Choice Award for Best Paranormal (Hunter’s Moon).
