About this ebook
PREFACE
Could this really be the end for Tara and the love of her life Gideon? Or was his ex-wife Linda well on her way to reclaiming his heart?
###
"I realize men like Gideon are rare," Tara said to her best friend Lenae. “But I have to follow my dreams to. I'm not ready to start popping out babies and disappear into a sea of diapers. That's what he wants, and he wants it now."
“Tara I’m a bit older than you, and I’ve been blessed to have two great husbands," Lenae said. "The kind of love that you have with Gideon doesn’t come along often. If you lose him, in my opinion, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. I’m not telling you not to pursue your dreams, but honey, you can’t take a real estate agency to bed with you at night. It won’t be there to kiss you awake in the mornings, or hold your hand when you’re sick. I know I may sound old-fashioned, but life is about sacrifices. I think modern-day women have been fed a myth about having it all. Who knows, maybe we can, but we have to clarify what ‘all’ means. And don’t forget, there are always women like Linda willing to give a man like Gideon everything he wants."
"I know," Tara said. "How do I stay true to who I am and what I want, and hang on to the man I love?”

Tara went to the window and stared out at Gideon, his father and his ex-wife Linda, weaving between piles of clothes, tools, furniture and books. Linda’s long, thick blonde hair was loose, the sunlight catching the silken tresses as she tucked a handful behind one ear while sorting through what seemed to be a box full of old fabric.
The three of them looked like any other family holding a yard sale on a sunny afternoon. A long ago conversation unearthed itself from the deep recesses of Tara’s mind, where she thought she’d buried and sealed it away for good.
“Whether you like to admit it or not Tara, I am family. I have been a part of the McHollister family for almost longer than I can remember.
Gideon’s father is like a second father to me. I knew his mother; she taught me how to make the crust on the very first pie I made. We gardened together, talked about making her a grandmother one day, went shopping together. I was the daughter she never had. …
So dear Tara, make no mistake, I am part of the McHollister family. I always will be and still carry the name to prove it.”
Tara trained her gaze back on the yard.
Linda looked up, sensing someone staring at her.
Tara couldn’t quite make out the other woman's expression. But, she knew in that moment is that if she didn’t do something soon, Gideon would be lost to her forever.

I've been a reader of romance novels since I was a pre-teen. I've read hundreds of them. "Everybody wants to be loved." This is the enduring theme of all romance novels. We all want to be loved and accepted for exactly who and what we are. And that's the beauty of love – it keeps the hope alive in each of us that there is someone out there, somewhere, who will love what is unique about us. This is what keeps me reading romance, after romance, after romance. Professional Background I've been a freelance writer – for businesses – since 1993. More about my businesses can be found below. A Romance Writer Is Born I wrote my first romance novel in 2013 (3 Weeks 'til Forever). I decided to give this type of writing a try because the title popped into my head one day and just wouldn't let go. After finishing up several more romances, I realize that I've finally found my calling. I love reading – and now writing and publishing – love stories. In 2014, I formed Inkwell Editorial Publishing to bring as many stories to readers like you as possible. I hope you enjoy reading these novels as much as I enjoy bringing them to you – whether they’re written by me, or by one of our ghost writers.
