I'm up to 2009 with this month's retrospective and Mara's Move, my last hardcover book published by Avalon Books. Not too long afterward, Montlake Publishing, an arm of Amazon, bought Avalon and rereleased Mara's Move as a paperback and ebook. Montlake kept the Avalon cover, which I love.
Inside Tidbits
Mara continues the characters from Candy Kisses, and once again, I'm short on tidbits. I've thought and thought and can't recall where I got the story idea. At that point, I'd never even been on a cruise. I do remember researching cruises. And I got the heroine's name from one of my daughter's friends. It's so pretty, don't you think?
Mara Riley is out to prove she can make it on her own and to disprove her mother’s contention that the only way to security—and therefore happiness—is to marry a successful doctor or lawyer. But with her job as an activity director at a North Carolina mountain resort on shaky ground and her penchant for choosing all the wrong men, Mara’s not scoring high in the pursuit of either security or happiness.
Alex Price is on the rebound from a broken engagement. Who would have guessed his social-climbing fiancée would drop him, a successful lawyer with his own practice—okay, a successful practice with his two overbearing older brothers—for a back-to-nature forest ranger?
When these childhood adversaries meet on the “honeymoon” cruise Alex is now taking alone, they make a pact to help each other ward off unwanted attention from fellow shipmates—a pact that sends them sailing into uncharted waters.
You might be able to still find a hardcover copy available used somewhere or in a library. The paperback and ebook are only available on Amazon. The ebook is also included in Kindle Unlimited.
