Synopsis:
Merrick
Thatcher went through a hell that no one could possibly imagine. He fought to
protect his country, his family, and the men standing at his side, but it wasn't
just being a soldier overseas that changed him. He watched his friends die in
front of him, felt indescribable pain, and lost his sight in the very same
moment.
Badly injured, blind, and angry, he's done with war, but now he’s fighting his own battle. So, he’s waiting for it to end, spending his days and nights in a thick darkness no light can penetrate. Until Grace walks into his life and his broken eyes open to a woman that changes everything for him.
A story about two flawed souls finding love amidst the grief. A love that shines vividly, even in the dark, and discovering that sometimes being broken is how the light gets in.

DONATION: Special
Operations Warrior Foundation
Like many other
foundations, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides assistance to
injured soldiers as well as their families. SOWF also focuses on one of the most
important challenges those families face; 'getting to their hospitalized loved
ones as quickly as possible'. With grants immediately provided to the family,
they can travel to be bedside with their loved one, especially for those crucial
first days. SOWF also provides a scholarship program, family services (including
clinical social workers, scholarship counselors, and family services
counselors). With on-going support and helpful counseling to all families of
fallen members in every branch of the military, they are able to help in all the
ways that count. The SOWF was highly recommended to me by a recent veteran who
served in Iraq. Therefore, I am thrilled to be able to help them in any way
possible. Every little bit counts.

Excerpt:
I felt her hand rest on my arm,
stopping me from rolling away and getting the hell away from her before I said
something stupid.
"I know you don't remember me from
before, but I ..." Her words trailed off, her fingers constricting against my
skin.
God, if I could just touch her, I
wouldn't need to ask questions. I would be able to feel every soft curve and
edge, and I wouldn't need anything more than that. If I could
just touch her.
"I was never one of those girls
that you found yourself with all too often."
I frowned and leaned forward,
waiting for an explanation. I had no idea what she was talking about. Of course
she wasn't one of those girls. She was real and sweet, compassionate and smart.
Those other girls were just fake. The pretty was only on the outside.
"I was never really pretty. At
least not the pretty that everyone would have seen. I was kind of awkward
and nerdy, but rounder in areas where other girls were flat. Still am. Does that
make sense?"
I hesitated before nodding my
understanding, grinning when I envisioned her. "So you're telling me that you
look like a real woman and not a stick?"
She gasped and pulled her hand away
from my arm. "I didn't say that."
I waited for her to continue.
Anything that would give me a better picture of her. She stayed silent. I was
starting to feel like the air around me was too thick to breathe.
Grace cleared her throat and
shifted in her chair. I wanted to know what she was doing with her hands. Was
she wringing them together? Were they in her lap? In her hair? Was she looking
at me or trying to avoid that?
"I'm just me," she said,
quietly.
"You're beautiful." The words left
my mouth without my prompting, but there was nothing inside of me that wanted to
take them back.
She released a self-deprecating
laugh and, again, I wondered what she was doing with her hands.
"I may be blind, Grace. But I can
still see some things."
About the Author:
I live in Morgan, Utah with my
husband, beautiful daughter, and a couple of spoiled pups. If I'm not deeply
involved in writing my next book, then I'm probably reading in the safety and
quiet of my closet. I love yoga – which I now practice regularly – playing hide
and seek with my daughter (only to have my hiding spots revealed by one of the
pups), and I love Fruit by the Foot, Twizzlers and Peace Tea. These are great
ways to bribe me into revealing secrets about what's to come.
I have an unhealthy obsession with
Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and The Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy talking
about them, so if you like them, too, come find me.
Writing has become an enormous part
of my life and every book I write holds a special place in my heart. If you
read one of my books, I hope you have the same experience.
