Good Morning and Welcome!
It's Holy Thursday, the day many celebrate the Last Supper.
It's also the last Eggcerpt Exchange post for this year.
Tuesday I introduced a new to me author and today is another....
When Jana Richards read her first romance novel,
she immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through
her head to paper, and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew
she’d found what she was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance
genre she didn’t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and
historical romance set in World War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to
full length novel. Just for fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and
the occasional dash of the paranormal. Her paranormal romantic suspense “Seeing
Things” was a 2008 EPPIE finalist.
In her life away from writing, Jana is an
accountant/admin assistant, a mother to two grown daughters, and a wife to her
husband Warren. She enjoys golf, yoga, movies, concerts, travel and reading,
not necessarily in that order. She and her husband live in Winnipeg, Canada
with their Pug/Terrier cross Lou and several unnamed goldfish. She loves to
hear from readers and can be reached through her website at www.janarichards.com or the following Social Media sites...

Love at Solace Lake Series Blurb:
Love is
worth the risk…
When their grandfather dies, the Lindquist
sisters, Harper, Scarlet and Maggie, inherit the northern Minnesota fishing
lodge that had been in their family for three generations. The inheritance is
bittersweet. They were raised at the lodge by their grandparents. The natural
beauty of the place hasn’t changed, but the building itself is crumbling and
desperately in need of repair. The lodge also reminds them of what they lost.
Twenty-two years previously, their parents died there in what was ruled a
murder/suicide.
As the
sisters struggle to breathe new life into the failing lodge, old fears and
questions rise to the surface even as new love presents itself. Why did their
father murder their mother? What truths did their grandparents keep from them?
The sisters must fight to keep the wounds of the past from putting their
futures, and their fledgling relationships,
in jeopardy.
She can’t live with one more lie. He can’t
tell the truth.
Harper Lindquist is convinced she’s found the
answer to her financial prayers. Unless she pours cash into crumbling Solace
Lake Lodge, she’ll lose her family’s legacy. Her would-be savior arrives in the
middle of a Minnesota blizzard and she’s determined to prove to her reluctant,
and trapped, financier the lodge is a sound investment. But Harper isn’t
completely honest with him. And she has no idea the lake is hiding secrets of
its own.
Ethan James is a liar, but his money is very real. He isn’t convinced a
broken-down inn is a smart investment opportunity. But the more he understands
Harper’s dreams and desires, the more he wants to be the man to make them come
true. The trauma in both their pasts means neither can fully trust the other.
They must find the courage to love, to trust, and to accept, or yesterday’s
sorrows will keep them apart.
Scarlett
Lindquist has agreed to help her sisters rebuild the dilapidated fishing lodge
in Minnesota they inherited from their grandparents. Although the lengthy
restoration is bringing the three sisters closer together, Scarlett’s support
is temporary. Her leave of absence from her job in Chicago is temporary and she
has no intention of staying at Solace Lake Lodge, where the lake holds dark
secrets. When frightening childhood memories resurface, they are tempered by
her fascination with an irritating contractor. If only she could trust her
feelings for him. If only he could trust her.
Cameron
Hainstock meets Scarlett at his brother’s wedding to her sister and their
attraction is instantaneous. But Cam avoids the beautiful marketing executive.
All his efforts are aimed at battling for custody of his only child. When the
unimaginable happens and Cam faces the biggest challenge of his life, he’s
reluctant to accept help to halt his downward spiral. Can they learn to trust
each other and fight for a future together or will they go their separate ways?
The
truth could destroy them. Or set them free.
Maggie Lindquist left Solace Lake
determined never to return. Circumstances have pulled her back and she’s
helping to restore her family’s dilapidated fishing lodge. When she agreed to
the plan she didn’t expect to have to work side by side with the man who
abandoned her ten years earlier. She didn’t expect to like him, or want him
ever again. But can she trust him as she once did?
Luke Carlsson rushes home to tend to his ailing mother. Her
lengthy illness means he needs to stay, at least temporarily. And to stay, he
needs to work. Solace Lake Lodge offers him a job and an opportunity to work
with the woman he’s never stopped loving. But the restoration is unleashing
secrets hidden for decades and no one is left unscathed. Especially not Maggie
and Luke, whose love needs to be resilient enough to forgive, and strong enough
to build a future together.
If you enjoy contemporary romances, this sounds like a great series!
