About this ebook
Jenny Samson, sister of Luke (book two) and daughter of Brant (book one), is a gifted artist, and moves from her country home in Texas to attend Jake Ryder's Academy of Art in New York. She has long dreamed of meeting Mr. Ryder, the renowned artist known as the Painter of Emotions, but when she does, his criticism of her paintings devastates her.
Jake Ryder lost his right arm in a carriage accident and it was the final sorrow in a life of sorrows. Now he lives a bitter and solitary existence, rarely leaving his estate outside of New York City. The sweet paintings of Jenny Samson incense the artist in him because life is not sweet, nor kind, nor lovely, and he lashes out at the plain country girl during a gallery exhibition of her work. Soon, however, he will discover there is more to Jenny that he anticipated.

About the author
While writing the love story between Jenny Samson and Jake Ryder, I attempted to "get into the minds" of artists and added an esoteric slant to this story--nothing overwhelming, but just enough to create characters driven by forces beyond their understanding.

My perfect day: Laptop; WiFi availability; Java Mocha; characters demanding their stories be told; a plot that comes together; and hours to live in an alternate reality. Afterward, I return home to wash dishes and vacuum.
Seriously, I have always loved reading, and now I love writing. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Mysteries. When I reached my teen years, the romance genre became my favorite and that has never changed. A few years ago, I decided to try my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. After writing a fantasy series, my current focus is western romance, both contemporary and historical. Because I hate saying goodbye to characters who have lived with me for months, I usually create a series so they can be revisited from book to book.
I also write under the pen name of Colleen Clay.
