About Cynthia:
Home is where
you hang your hat. A native Missourian, my family relocated twice during my
teenage years, taking me from a high school freshman class of over 1,200
students to living in a small town in Kentucky with a total population of less
than 1,000.
Home is where
your heart is. Despite the culture shock and challenges of those shy, teenage
years, I met my true love in that tiny town and I couldn’t be more grateful for
the opportunity to experience a community where everyone waves, calls you by
name, and treats you like family.
My husband
and I live in the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee with our eighteen-year-old
son and three dogs. When I’m not working or writing, I can be found with family
and friends. I love to bake in the winter, grill in the summer, and on
occasion, I sneak away from everyone and curl up with a good book.
Cynthia will be awarding three randomly drawn commenters during the tour one of three prizes: a $10 Starbucks GC, a $10 Amazon GC, and a $10 Soul Mate Publishing GC. To see more stops on this tour check out the stops here Goddess Fish.
Winter's Magic Blurb:
Beth Sergeant and Nick Chester come from
opposite ends of the social food chain. While he sees a rare beautiful woman
without an agenda, she sees a wealthy playboy. Can he convince her to let go of
her insecurities and take a chance on love, when challenges from his past force
her to reveal her most guarded secret?
Owner of La Bella Vita, a five-star day spa nestled in the affluent
suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee, Beth Sergeant knows her elite clientele first
hand. She attended their private schools. She was even engaged, although
briefly, to one of their most recognized bachelors. But she never fit in to
their social-elite world.
After losing his parents to a car accident at a young age, Nick Chester
was raised by his grandfather, the wealthiest man in Nashville. When he chooses
to socialize, he has a never-ending list of exclusive events and beautiful
women vying for his attention. Yet he never lets himself forget that everyone
has an agenda.
Beth can’t resist Nick’s charm and accepts an invitation to dinner,
despite her deep-seated insecurities. She proves she’s nothing like other women
Nick's dated and learns to trust him in return. But just as the last of their
resistance crumbles and true love is within reach, challenges from Nick's past
threaten to destroy everything and force Beth to reveal her most guarded
secret.
EXCERPT:
“Can
I see you Wednesday night?”
“Assuming
you get out in the morning?” Beth tried to feign indifference as the grin on
her face reached new heights. He wanted to see her again. That fact, and being
with him tonight, was nothing short of an early Christmas present. Score one
for Jenny’s advice. Sometimes you do have to let down your guard and enjoy life
as it comes.
“True.
I’m not worried, though. Surely they’ll have this cleaned up overnight.”
“When
do you get home?”
“I
think I land around six.”
“Give
me a call when you get in and we’ll figure out where to meet.”
Beth
closed her eyes for a moment to absorb the exquisite sensation of being
cocooned in his arms as he held her so gently. She could feel the power in his
broad shoulders and the hardness of his chest as he drew her against him a
little closer than before, bringing every nerve ending in her body to
attention.
When
she opened her eyes, Nick was staring at her with an intensity that caused a
shudder to run through her. And as the music faded, he led her through one last
turn and bent down to kiss her. Short, but heavenly sweet. Then he nodded toward
the windows.
“We
probably need to head home.”
“I
don’t think the snow’s going to let up anytime soon.” Her voice sounding
steadier than she felt.
