Five simple words – scribbled on an impersonal Christmas card to his parents – changed Lila Sullivan's life forever. Jason Parker, the boy she'd loved, was never coming back to her...or to the daughter he'd never seen. He'd fled Pilgrim Cove five years before, taking all his hurt and guilt with him. Only his promise to return had kept Lila going.
Now four more years have passed, and Lila is about to marry someone else. Eight-year-old Katie is thrilled to be getting a dad and a sister. A real family of her own.
Then Jason sends a new message. This time it's personal. He's coming home.
It seems to me that I've been writing forever–high school essays which were hung on the classroom wall, short stories which finalled in a national contest, and family memoirs which are my mom's favourite–but none of those sweet successes compared with the thrill of having a novel accepted for publication. Linda's first Superromance, LOVE, MONEY AND AMANDA SHAW, was published in February 2001 while her second, TRUE-BLUE TEXAN, followed five months later. When she's not writing fiction, she teaches GED classes to homeless adults in downtown Houston. Her educational background includes a B.A. in Sociology and an M.S. in Education from Hunter College of the City University of New York. Linda and her husband, Michael, have three grown sons–all gorgeous and single at the moment. "We're looking forward to our oldest son, Andrew's wedding next spring and to welcoming lovely Pauline and four year old Aaron into our family."
