Luke Roberts came to the small lazy town of Kilgore, Texas with one thing on his mind: Forgetting. He wanted to forget why he left. Forget those emerald green eyes that haunted his dreams. And forget how it felt to have his heart ripped out of his chest by a woman who didn't like the fact that he had a child. It was something he'd been doing a damn fine job of doing, too. Until Reese smashed through every one of his defenses, and made him feel again. Reese Doherty was just trying to do the best for her little girl. So she moved to the little boomtown nearly an hour from where she grew up to be the school nurse for Kilgore's littlest people. That's where she met him. The SWAT officer and the man that would change her life forever. The sexy man who liked to drive fast, and live life like it should be lived. He drove her crazy, and became something she could barely live without. But Luke was a hero. A man used to risking his life to make the world a safer place. Something Reese had to decide whether she could handle or not. Preferably before her and her daughter became too attached. Just when she's ready to give him her whole heart, her world takes a huge hit, and everything she thought she knew wasn't as it seemed. Luke wasn't a quitter, though. Damn far from it, and he'd prove to her that he'd be there when the dust settled. Whether she wanted him to be or not. Views: 32

Smith, Romantic Times --Romantic Times *From the AuthorParadise Found was originally published in mass market paperback by Kensington Publishing in 2002. When I received my rights back and decided to bring it out in e-book format, I pretty much gutted the book and re-worked it. It was a long and arduous task but I'm very pleased with the results. Some might ask why I would do this when it had been been published, was an RT Top Pick and loved by many. My response is that as a writer, I am always working on my craft and saw an opportunity to improve the story. I had forgotten that I wrote much of this book through periods of intense pain, but once I flipped open the acknowledgment on that old paperback, it all came back.. I thought I'd share it with you:Paradise Found will always be special to me because it taught me what spirit and strength and will can do. Much of this book was written in pain - hours of it, days, months - doubled over,with a hot-water bottle pressed against my lower abdomen. The diagnosis was severe endometriosis and I underwent three surgeries in two months, the last of which was a complete hysterectomy.Well. So glad those days are over!And this is what I have to say about Paradise Found...Paradise Found explores the delicate balance between 'blind' trust and hope, the development and nurturing of feelings--where physical appearances are non-existent-- and the inevitable fear that accompanies any relationship when the mask of politeness is discarded and the true self is revealed. * Views: 32
