GENRE: Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Elsie
Hayward moves into her uncle's seaside estate on what should have been her
wedding day. All she wants is peace and quiet, and to escape the guilt that's
haunted her since her betrothed was lost at sea. Any hope of tranquility is
dashed, however, when Charles Rockingham arrives in town. A lifetime ago they'd
been best friends and almost more. If there's one person she can't hide her
feelings from, it's him. Charles hasn't received a letter from Elsie in over a
year. He returns home hoping to recapture the deep bond they once shared, but
shadows of the past stand between them. One last secret must be revealed before
they can find their way back to each other.

Excerpt One:
As they got up to leave, Charles took her hand to help
steady her over the slippery rocks, and a warm glow rippled through her.
Instead of letting go when they reached the grassy bank, she laced her fingers
through his, her heart racing as fast as the stream. He looked at her and his
eyes held something like tenderness. She almost tripped over her dress.
The sky was softening to the faintest hint of dusk. She wished
it was morning so they could begin their day together all over again. They
continued down the trail and turned onto a narrow path that came out behind
Max’s stables, then walked up the lawn to the front of the house. An unfamiliar
motorcar was parked in the drive.
“Who’s here, Mr. Anderson?” Elsie asked when he opened the
front door.
“An associate of Mr. Lambert’s.”
Charles's fingers slipped out of hers as they stepped
inside. Elsie removed her hat and dropped it on the table.
“Let’s go see who it is,” she said to Charles, tugging on
his jacket sleeve.
From the dining room came the sound of laughter: two
gravelly chortles and one tinkling, delicate giggle.
Charles stopped in his tracks. Elsie looked up at him. The
color had drained from his face. She opened her mouth to ask what was wrong,
but Max called out: “Don’t hang about in the doorway, you two. Come see what
the cat dragged in.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Kate
Ellington grew up in a woodsy New England town where summer days at the lake
seemed to last forever. She read her first historical romance at age eleven
when a teacher challenged her to find a book in the library written by an
author she’d never heard of. Thus began a life-long love of love stories.
After
graduating from college with an art degree she settled in the Pacific
Northwest, where she currently resides with her family.
Kate
wrote her first romance when she was sixteen, then set her pen down for years
until another story floated into her head out of the clear blue sky. She jotted
it down, just for fun, but soon it took on a life of its own.
