Emily Bradshaw waited over twenty years to see Connor again…
When her childhood friend, Connor Walsh, returns home to see his ailing father, Emily is elated to be reunited with the handsome man who moved to London so many years ago. But excitement fades to disappointment when he doesn’t remember her—or their first kiss. With her crush on Connor still in full swing, she’s determined to enjoy the short time he’s in Fermosa Bay, even though she knows her heart will break when he returns to his life in London.
When Connor receives news that his biological father is terminally ill, he returns to Fermosa Bay, Australia.
With memories of his childhood tucked fondly in the back of his mind, returning to the small, coastal town leaves him to wonder how life would have been if his mother had never taken him away. Would he have been married and had children? Perhaps with Emily Bradshaw…
Secrets from long ago begin to unfold…
As Connor and his father grow closer, Connor learns his parents have a broken love story of their own. Will the echoes of the past lure him into staying, maybe for good? Or will he relive his parents’ tragic story and flee to London?
Walking away from a real chance at true love…

On #Thursday13 find out how To Seduce an Omega from #MFRW author Kryssie Fortune
To Seduce an Omega
Genre Paranormal, Fantasy,Erotic
Publisher Loose Id
Blurb
The Rock Prowler alpha condemns Viola for her inability to shift. Forced into poverty and isolation, she ekes out a meager existence as a healer. As the pack omega with a crippled knee, she’s forbidden to mate. Her first heat beckons, but no wolf will dare to bed her.
Titus, a wolf rejected by his true mate, overflows with violence and anger. When the Lykae King sends him to take over the Rock Prowler pack, he condemns Viola for and threatens to bring in a new pack healer. With other income, she’d starve.
She-wolves from families who disagree with the alpha have vanished. When Titus investigates, the alpha’s allies imprison both him and Viola. To escape, he must seduce Viola—the she-wolf he insulted and reviled. She steals his heart, but after all that’s happened, how can she accept him when even his fated mate refused him?

About the author
I grew up with an imaginary pet dragon and have loved anything paranormal since then. I like my heroes hot and dominant and my women sparky enough to stand up to them. Once I dreamed of writing a book. Now I’ve written six and am well on with a seventh.
I have a wonderful husband and family, including the world’s cutest grandsons, but any free time I have is spent writing.
Thirteen things about Wolves and their Cubs
1 Wolves have a social hierarchy, with the pack alpha and his mate at the top of the tree.
2 Only the alpha and his she-wolf have pups.
3 A pregnant she-wolf digs a den up to forty yards long.
4 She gives birth in the chamber at the end of the tunnel and doesn’t leave her pups—even to drink or eat.
5 The birth mother chews through the umbilical cord and eats the placenta. It’s a valuable meal that helps her survive and care for her pups.
6 Other pack members bring her their kills while she keeps the cubs warm and feeds them.
7 Non breeding she-wolves produce milk to help feed the cubs.
8 Male wolves compete to babysit the cubs.
9 Wolf cubs are born blind and deaf, but 10 to 15 days later their eyes open.
10 All wolf cubs are born with blue eyes that gradually darken to brown. Occasionally an adult wolf still has blue eyes.
11 There’s a high mortality rate for cubs—between 30% and 60% but the pack mourns each and every death. They have been known to bury their dead.
12 Cubs love to chase each other and play with toys. They “ kill” their toys—bits of bones or maybe a feather—over and over as if practicing for adulthood
13 The alpha wolf has the right to the choice cuts of his pack’s kill. Once he has pups, he will hand them back and let his offspring eat first.
