You know how life is. You can't get everything you want...just like you can't pick every story to go in your Christian romance anthology (definitely a situation we can all relate to, am I right?). So when push came to shove and I had to pick only a few stories (twelve being the exact number), I reserved a few to publish here on my blog!

Here it is! The third January 4th release! Never Leave Me is the second book in the Waters of Time series, which is Jody Hedlund's first time-travel series and fourth medieval series.

She's one of my favorite authors, a good friend, and a huge influence in my writing! Anyway, she's releasing her FIRST EVER MYSTERY!!! *excessive cheering ensues* Technically, this is a romantic suspense - and, being a Lessman novel, it's 50% romance and 50% mystery/suspense instead of 20/80...which makes my romance-lovers heart very happy.
