Alexandra Morgan’s ranch is being sold to a stranger and she will stop at nothing to keep her home—even if it means marrying the arrogant tyrant who means to take it all. When her father died, he left behind staggering debt in his family name and a bruised heart in his daughter. Finally free, Alex takes control and begins to put the ranch back together again. Lane Tanner was a man who took what he wanted. When he first saw Alex riding out of the sun, he knew he had to have her. Even having her as his wife wouldn’t be enough. But secrets of Alex’s past and old fears make her ability to trust elusive. If Lane wants to win her heart, he must find a way to break down her walls and show her it’s safe to dream. Have a Little Faith contains adult content and adult language.Excerpt from "Have a Little Faith"“I have no intentions of making your life anything but ideal.”“Marriage isn’t a business to me, Lane. I’m not even sure what it is to me.” She winced when Hope cried out in pain.“Maybe now would be a good time for me to tell you that I have feelings for you, Alex. Strong feelings.” His eyes were somber as they looked into hers. She could almost believe him and that scared her more than anything.“You don’t even know me, really.” “I know you are a beautiful woman with a tender heart. I know you’ve had a rough time in your life, all though I don’t know details yet. I know you’re a hard worker who thinks about everyone but yourself. I also know that if this right here,” he motioned toward Hope, “wasn’t happening, we would be making love right now until neither of us could move.”Almost mesmerized by his voice, Alex caught herself gaping and averted her gaze back to Hope. “That’s a tidy summary,” she said lightly, trying to keep it that way. “But I don’t know anything about you.”He could feel her relenting. He knew she was thinking about marrying him. “What do you want to know?” When she only shrugged he smiled. “All right. My name is Lane Daniel Tanner. I’ll be twenty-nine on my next birthday. I have an MBA from Harvard. I’m CEO of my father’s company. Single, hopefully soon to be engaged to you. I live alone in a penthouse apartment in L.A. I don’t have any pets or children that I’m aware of,” he spoiled the last remark when he grinned hugely and was rewarded when she smiled back. “Anything else you’d like to know?”“Is there anything left?” Nervous, she ran the end of her braid through her fingers. His hand was still linked firmly with hers, but she enjoyed the contact. “Oh, there’s more.” He kissed the back of her hand. “And there’s more to you, as well. I intend to find out very soon.” Views: 25

White Pine nominee, 2009Spinetingler Magazine Award Nominee, 2009 Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice, 2009A boy maybe twelve years old, on a bike, stopped next to Dooley, looked at the kid sprawled on the pavement and said, "Is he dead?""Yeah, I think so," Dooley said. In fact, he was sure of it because there was no air going into or coming out of the lungs of the kid on the pavement.
