Is Lauren’s love for Cole stronger than her fear of
scandal in her hometown?




Lauren didn’t intend to sleep with her
brother-in-law Cole on the day of her husband’s funeral. But now that she is
pregnant, she’s not sorry. Cole’s given her a baby, a long-wished-for miracle.
He’s been her friend forever, though she never told him or anyone else how
unhappy her marriage to his cheating brother was. And she’s afraid to tell the
small town that considered her husband a hero that the baby isn’t his.

Cole’s been in love with Lauren since he
was sixteen. It kills him that everyone believes the baby is his dead
brother’s. All he wants is to claim the baby, and Lauren, as his own. Though
she marries him, will Lauren’s heart ever be his?
Lauren must tell the truth or risk
losing Cole. Is her newly-discovered love for him greater than her fear of
scandal in her hometown?

Excerpt:
 “You mean everything
to me. I love you.”
 She shook her head.
“You don’t love me, not really. I’m nothing more than a responsibility to you.”
 “Don’t tell me how I
feel.” Desperation turned to anger in a flash. Cole jumped to his feet and
began to pace. “I’ve been in love with you since I was sixteen years old, but
you never saw me, not really. You only had eyes for Billy. It nearly killed me
when you married him, but I stuffed down my anger and hurt and congratulated
both of you, because really, what else could I do?”
 “No, that can’t be
true.”
 “It’s true, all right.
I wish to God it wasn’t. I tried to push away my feelings for you, tried to love
other women, but none of them were you. None of them compared to you. I thought
I’d get over you, but I never did.”
 Her eyes were wide
with shock. “Cole—”
 “Billy guessed the
truth. I found out he’d been cheating on you, and I confronted him. We had a
huge fight, beat each other till we were both bloody. He told me I was jealous
because you’d rejected me. He said you’d never want me, that you’d always be
tied to him, no matter what happened. And he was right.” He gave a bark of
mirthless laughter. “He’s dead and he still comes between us.”
About the Author:
When
Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately knew two things:
she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper, and they had
to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she was meant
to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She writes
contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World
War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for
fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the
paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing Things” was a 2008 EPPIE
finalist.

In her life away from writing, Jana is
an accountant/admin assistant, a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to
her husband Warren. She enjoys golf, yoga, movies, concerts, travel and
reading, not necessarily in that order. She and her husband live in Winnipeg,
Canada with an elderly Pug/Terrier named cross Lou. She loves to hear from
readers and can be reached through her website at www.janarichards.com
