A Special Kind Of Family

© 2009

Dear Reader,

A few months back I watched a romantic movie, saw the heroine sink into the hero’s arms at the end and thought: the script writers got it wrong. Sure the hero had great pecs. Sure he was rich and drop-dead gorgeous. But underneath the surface polish I had a bad feeling he’d spend the rest of their marriage gazing fondly into the mirror. At himself. Which got me thinking…What if the perfect man proposes. Everyone tells you you’re the luckiest woman alive, and yet you know deep in your heart that you’re not.

That’s how I came to write A Special Kind of Family. Dominic Spencer is totally committed to the community he cares for and the damaged kids he helps to heal. He has no time in his life for Erin. And Erin already has the perfect fiancé-the perfect life. So, I thought I’d throw them together and see what happens.

I thoroughly enjoy writing warm, loving stories where my hero and heroine take part of their strength from the community around them. In my favorite stories, healing takes all forms, and love reaches out and embraces in ways we can’t begin to expect.

Love conquers all! I believe that absolutely, and by the time you finish reading A Special Kind of Family, I hope you’ll be a little closer to believing it, as well!
