Deanne jumps into relationships heart-first. Eager to start fresh after her nasty divorce, Deanne Moore adopts a stray dog and begins the healing process. She has learned—the hard way—to take chances and just enjoy life. The one thing she isn't expecting, though, is to get a second chance with her first crush. Julius won't let lust burn away the last of his brain cells. After losing his entire family in one blinding instant, Julius Zern has learned to steer clear of happily-ever-after scenarios. Meeting Deanne stirs something tender within him. So he stays. Overnight. And falls...hard. But just as he begins to follow his instincts—and his desire for Deanne—trouble arrives and threatens to destroy their fragile bond. 40,000 words

I live on Vancouver Island in the moody, green, and rain-washed Pacific Northwest. So when I'm seriously story challenged (too often!) I often walk the beach and commune with the stunning and multi-talented Mother Nature. (Make that beg for inspiration!) If that doesn’t work, a few minutes thinking about the quirks and foibles of human nature usually does the trick. I dislike cooking. I dislike nosy people. I dislike too many rainy days in a row. I dislike snakes. And the only word I hate is hate. I love reading, writing, my sons, my sister, my twin granddaughters, my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Boon—and most of all my first and last husband, Tim. You can follow me on Twitter, if that's something you tend to do. @EC_Sheedy I also mess around on Tumblr. That's here: http://ecsheedy.tumblr.com/
