*The Tide of the Mermaid Tears* by Marcia Lynn McClure Download E-Book $8.95 Ember gasped as she looked forward up the shore to see a man struggling in the water. He was coughing—spitting water from his mouth as he crawled from the water and onto the sand. As he collapsed face-down on the shore, Ember lifted her skirt and ran toward the man, dropping to her knees beside him. “Sir?” she cried, nudging one broad shoulder. The man was stripped of his shirt—dressed only in a pair of trousers—no shoes… Ember shook her head, rolling her eyes at her own foolishness. “Sir?” she called again, nudging his broad shoulder once more. The man lay on his stomach—his face turned away from her. “Are you dead, sir?” she asked. Placing a hand to his back, she sighed with relief as she felt he yet breathed. “Sir?” she said, clambering over the man’s broad torso. The man coughed. His eyes opened—his deep blue eyes, so shaded by thick, wet lashes that Ember wondered how it was he could see beyond them. “Sir?” Ember ventured. He coughed, asking, “Where am I?” “On the seashore, sir,” Ember answered.

What if…” Boston continued to babble. “Boston,” he said. The commanding sound of his voice caused Boston to cease in her prattling and look to him. “What?” she asked, somewhat grateful he’d interrupted her panic attack. He frowned and shook his head. “Shut up,” he said. “You’re all worked up about nothing.” He reached out, slipping one hand beneath her hair to the back of her neck. Boston was so startled by his touch, she couldn’t speak—she could only stare up into his mesmerizing green eyes. His hand was strong and warm, powerful and reassuring. “If it freaks you out so much…just kiss in the dark,” he said. Boston watched as Vance put the heel of his free hand to the light switch. In an instant the room went black.
*The Light of the Lovers' Moon* by Marcia Lynn McClure Download E-Book $8.95 Violet Fynne was haunted—haunted by memory. It had been nearly ten years since her father had moved the family from the tiny town of Rattler Rock to the city of Albany, New York. Yet the pain and guilt in Violet’s heart was as fresh and as haunting as ever it had been. It was true Violet had been only a child when her family moved. Still—though she had been unwillingly pulled away from Rattler Rock—pulled away from him she held most dear—her heart had never left—and her mind had never forgotten the promise she had made—a promise to a boy—to a boy she had loved—a boy she had vowed to return to. Yet, the world changes—and people move beyond pain and regret. Thus, when Violet Fynne retuned to Rattler Rock, it was to find that death had touched those she had known before—that the world had indeed changed—that unfamiliar faces now intruded on beloved memories. Had she returned too late? Had Violet Fynne lost her chance for peace—and happiness? Would she be forever haunted by the memory of the boy she had loved nearly ten years before?
*Sweet Cherry Ray* by Marcia Lynn McClure Download E-Book $8.95 From Sweet Cherry Ray: "Cherry glanced at her pa who frowned and slightly shook his head. Still, she couldn't help herself and she leaned over and looked down the road. "She could see the rider and his horse-a large buckskin stallion. As he rode nearer, she studied his white shirt, black flat-brimmed hat and double-breasted vest. Ever nearer he rode and she fancied his pants were almost the same color as his horse, with silver buttons running down the outer leg. Cherry had seen a similar manner of dress before-on the Mexican vaqueros that often worked for her pa in the fall. "Cherry," her pa scolded in a whisper as the stranger neared them. She straightened and blushed, embarrassed by being as impolite in her staring as the other town folk were in theirs. It seemed everyone had stopped whatever they had been doing to walk out to the street and watch the stranger ride in. No one spoke-the only sound was that of the breeze, a falcon's cry overhead and the rhythm of the rider's horse as it slowed to a trot…

Perspiration beaded on his forehead and traveled downward, streaking his temples. Chalyce knelt before him, looking up into the face contorted with anguish. “ Race?" she said again, louder this time. His shirt hung open and she could see that every muscle revealed there was tensed. His legs were tensed as well, pushing his body back fiercely against the chair. He was obviously enduring some very intense nightmare.“Race," she repeated, putting her hand gently on one of his legs.He gasped as his eyes burst open, releasing several tears that slowly traveled down his cheeks as he blinked to clear his vision "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice quaking with emotion.
