Rivers kicks off a new contemporary romance series—sure to please readers of
Ruthie Knox, Kristan Higgins, and Jill Shalvis—where love can be found
unexpectedly.
If there’s
an upside to unemployment, Destiny Burnside may have found it. Job searching at
her local library in Lakefield, Ohio, gives her plenty of time to ogle the
hottest man she has ever laid eyes on: the sexy wood-carver who’s restoring the
building. But as the rejection letters pile up, Destiny finds an unexpected
shoulder to cry on. With his rich Welsh accent, Hefin Thomas stirs Destiny so
completely that, even though he’s leaving soon, she lets herself believe the
memory of his scorching kisses will be enough.
Hefin can’t help but notice the slender,
confident woman with ginger hair who returns each day, so hopeful and
determined. So when the tears start to fall, his silence—penance for a failed
marriage—finally cracks. Once he’s touched her, what Hefin wants is to take her
back to Wales and hold her forever. But Destiny’s roots run too deep. What they
both need is each other—to learn how to live and love again.

If I wasn't an author I'd be a . .
.
I literally
can't imagine not being a writer. Some of my first memories are of making up
little stories, drawing about them, writing down what I could. I've kept a
journal or diary for thirty-one years (I'm 39), and writing is the activity I
prefer to do over almost all others. Even if I had never been published, I'd be
a writer. Publishing was never the end goal for me -- I've just always been
writing.
I do have a
job that I love, however. I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner. Right now, I'm
the healthcare provider at a college's student health clinic. In this capacity,
I get to talk about things people are worried about, or ashamed about, or have
questions about. I get to educate and support women's health. I still work with
other kids and newborns, too, which means I get to talk with and work with
families. I'm really passionate about knowledge and self-knowledge, and access,
and in this job I get to really live all of those ideas in a dynamic way with
other people. It's a job I learn so much in, as well. I have a lot of access to
education, and I learn a tremendous amount from my patients -- who are
amazing.
So I have
this incredible privilege to do what I love in such a way that I am motivated
to be better at all the things I do.
