A photograph. A hand-painted Christmas ornament.
Two people caught completely by surprise, one who doesn’t believe in love and one who hasn’t had time for love.

But along comes Nicholas. He believes fate has stepped in, sending a message neither he or Anna can ignore. His life up until now consisting of business mergers and multi
million-dollar deals, he is totally unprepared for this new situation he now finds himself in.

Anna of the same.
For the Love of July
ISBN: 978-0-9600311-6-0 Book 2
Think summertime... and baseball comes to mind.
But let's say we mix things up a bit. Think of it as a recipe in the making.
A recipe for love.
Start by tossing together one spunky hometown girl, Abby Evans, who bakes cookies for a living and Kevin Kardell, a hot and upcoming Major League Baseball sensation. A Chicago native and new in town, he is more than ready to show Cleveland just how good he really is.
Add a dash of humor, a pinch of sass and a whole lot of chemistry.
Finally, the most important step of all? Add heat. Lots of it.
The result? Bam! Bang! Sha-zamm! You've got fireworks! A recipe that's a winner, hands down!
But of course, there's a catch ... because, as
we all know, anything worth having never
comes easy.

kiss.

But then she did something so incredibly stupid. Stepping out in front of a speeding motorcycle, she sailed head-first into a parked car. This left her with no memory of the past two years of her life, Sean falling right into this void.
Even though Sean Young was to take over his family’s cattle ranch in Australia, baseball was his first love. When he received an offer to play for Cleveland, he'd left the ranch behind to fulfill this dream. Never did he expect to take one look at Hannah and have her steal his heart. Nor, after returning from an unexpected trip home due to a family emergency, did he think he’d have to prove the love they’d shared before her accident was still the real thing.
Will this third time become that promised
charm?
Will Sean’s persistence pay off?
