About the Author

 

Elizabeth divides her time between her beach cottage and her scrupulously clean house in the hills of West Virginia.


Ooops. That's fantasy Elizabeth. The real Elizabeth spends her days schlepping after her four boys (five if you count their father) and the assortment of pets they swore they'd take care of.

She does live in West Virginia; the house is clean when the mother-in-law visits; and she does have serious dreams of living at the beach.


Elizabeth is a Marshall University graduate with a degree in counseling. This has proven very beneficial when dealing with the make-believe friends she hangs out with all day (she calls this 'writing').

But Dodd, Indiana is far from safe once she comes face-to-face with Richland Conrad Cooper. Rich and Sarah go way back to high school.

But it turned out to be nothing more than the first of her love tries and fails. 

 

She thought time had shored up her defenses, but one look at Rich makes her heart do flip flops. It's like the moment where unrequited love gets a do-over, the only problem is...Rich doesn't remember who the hell she is.

 

That hurt, and no matter how hard Rich tries to make up for that initial faux pas, Sarah won’t forget. She has learned—if a guy steals your heart, breaking his is quid pro quo.

 

Only when Rich is served with a custody challenge of his two daughters does Sarah call a truce. Working together, Rich can’t help but totally fall for her. She’s cold and rude, forcefully pointing out their differences and his flaws every chance she gets.

Some hearts are fixer-uppers, hers is a total flip.

 

For Danni Lowry, going home for her aunt’s funeral means facing reality, and that's not something she's eager to do. Since leaving North Carolina, she's lost her money, her husband, and all hope for happiness.

She goes to the memorial, but regret hits her on arrival. She is about to leave when she bumps into Fisher, her childhood friend, and one-time sweetheart. For him, she will stay for the memorial that challenges her grief… and her sanity. During the service, Danni swears she sees her aunt—the dead one—bouncing about, making fun and cracking jokes.

 

Certain she’s lost her mind, Danni tries again to go, but Aunt Max won't allow it. She is a reminder that Danni has obligations. There is the hotel. It is now Danni's and a sensible person would flip it before selling it. There is young Darby, the orphaned teen her aunt was adopting. Danni couldn't leave the child homeless. And finally, there is Fisher— loyal, dependable, heart-skippingly-handsome Fisher. The guy she didn’t realize she missed until he was gone.

 

Fisher offers to help her with the renovations hoping she'll stay long enough for him to convince her they are meant to be together. Danni agrees to the help and to the friendship, but nothing more. She will not lose Fisher to love. Not again. It's better to stay friends. Friends don't break up like lovers do.
