Two friends...
Blood sisters till the end...
Until they're not.
One cold night in a boarding school dorm, two fourteen-year-old girls make a blood sister pact. Friends forever. As young schoolgirls, they're determined to find true love, learning the hits and misses along the way. As graduation nears, the girls have different outlooks for the future. Lucinda longs for adventure. Anna chooses city life and marriage. Finding their way back together, the girls head west for an experience of a lifetime until a handsome cowboy bursts into their lives, changing the course of their friendship forever.
Excerpt:
“Don’t worry. It’s not the first time it’s happened.” He
gave her a wicked smile, part imp and part seductive. He hopped up in one
smooth motion and moved the cart to the side.
Anna, surprised by his answer, burst out laughing. She
pictured him being knocked down by carts in every aisle of the library. She
quickly covered her mouth.
Roy put a finger to his lips. “You don’t want to be asked to
leave, do you?” That caused both of them to double over in silent laughter.
Anna took deep breaths and slowly straightened up. When she
made eye contact, the hysterics started all over again. His eyes held a hint of
mischief, drawing her in. Roy ran his hand through his wavy brown hair and
leaned against the bookshelf as if having a casual conversation with an old
friend. Funny thing, it felt like more than friendship.
“Anna!”
She spun around at the sound of her name. “Lucinda! This is
Roy. I just knocked him over with a cart.” As soon as she said it, she had to
swallow hard to suppress the giggle that begged to escape.
“Yes, she did. She’s lethal.” Roy held out his hand. “Hello,
Lucinda, nice to meet you.”
She leaned across Anna and shook his hand. Anna took a few
steps back so Lucinda could get closer to Roy. “I’ll just be over there.” She
gestured and grabbed a book off the shelf as she went by.
I can’t believe that just happened. I find Roy. I knock Roy
over. I instantly fall in love.
