“It’s nothing like we had in Mexico,” I whisper.
“You know I don’t care about that stuff.”
“Mercy, I want you to know I’m a man of my word. I made you a promise today on that beach.” I grab her hands and bring them to my chest, a little nervous that she’ll be able to feel how hard my heart is pounding. “I want you to know I intend to keep that promise and every other one I make to you for the rest of our lives. No exceptions.”
Her eyes fill with tears, and she smiles. “You really are my savior.”
“No, you saved yourself, mi alma. Your strength is one of the many things I fell in love with.” I kiss her tear-stained lips. “I was just lucky enough to have you fall in love with me.”
Turns out miracles and magic are real after all. They’re not paid for or bestowed upon us by someone given the divine right to do so. The ability to heal, comfort, and bless others lives inside each and every soul.
The power is in our capacity to love.
THANK YOU TO my readers who have followed along with me wherever my imagination has taken me. You are the best fictional travel-buddies.
Thank you to Cassie and Devon at Joy Editing for your friendliness, professionalism, and timely communication. And, of course, for the kickass edit and proofread.
A huge thank you to the girls who support me with their critiques. Elizabeth Reyes, Piper Reagan, Claudia Connor, and Amanda Simpson, your suggestions are invaluable to me.
Huge thank you to my Fighting Girls. I love you all to pieces.
WHEN I PUBLISHED my first book I didn’t intend to write more than the one. If I could sell six books to six people I didn’t know I considered myself a success. But that first book sold well over six copies and I knew I couldn’t stop there.
I was bitten by the writing bug and have poured my soul into every novel I’ve penned since. Some of my books have become USA Today Bestsellers, New York Times Bestsellers, and Fighting to Forgive won a RONE Award. I couldn’t be more proud of where my writing has taken me.
I live in Phoenix with my husband and two daughters where I’m lucky to be able to do something I love and still be home to juggle carpool, field trips, and fifth-grade homework.
When I’m not writing, reading, or spending time with my family I can be found on any of the local mountain trails hiking, or at the gym when the desert temps become unbearable. I love being outside, beach vacations, and spending time with friends.
