For me, writing sweet romance was
something new, but it seemed appropriate to the tale that needed to be told in All That’s Unspoken. I am so pleased
that it was chosen to be part of the Sweet,
but Sexy Boxed Set.
I’d always heard that writers put
a little bit of themselves into their characters, and would have to say I have done that with every character of
every book I’ve written. When it came to All
That’s Unspoken, however, I felt myself digging a little deeper into my own
psyche while building the heroine, Hailey.
I can bottle up my emotions and
hold on to things that—if I would only say them aloud—wouldn’t be as bad as
they felt internally. In All That’s
Unspoken, Hailey has spent eight years trying to forget what she did--or
rather the things she didn’t—say to Nate before leaving town early for college.
From the time I conceived this
story, I knew it was a small-town tale. Caseville, Michigan, wasn’t my first
choice, but as I began telling the story and digging into those personal
emotions, I knew it needed a personal connection, like being set in the
community where I grew up.
While there are pieces of the
author dispersed through this story, I hope that you will enjoy Hailey’s and
Nate’s special story of letting go of the past and facing the future…together.
*fans herself* Well, isn't he a reason to read this book!!!
Hailey Lambert came home for the
holidays to help her father. Instead, eight years later, she is forced to face
all that was left unspoken between her and high school crush, Nate.
After eight years, Hailey is back
in Caseville, Michigan. Just months after her mother’s death, her siblings want
to put their father in a nursing home and rent out the
family farm. If that wasn’t enough, the prospective tenant is Nate, the high
school crush she left behind the day after they acted on their mutual
attraction.
After high school, Nate Jenkins
planned to leave small town behind, but life dealt him a different hand of
cards. He’s now back in Caseville, raising his daughter and running his
family’s diner. His daughter’s speech disorder has been improved by therapeutic
horse riding and if he can lease the old Lambert farm, he can get her a horse
of her own. The only thing standing in the way is Hailey, the same woman who
left him eight years ago without even saying goodbye.
Can they get over all that’s
unspoken between them?
