Secrets and Solace by Jana Richards

 Wild Women Authors focus on Secrets and Solace – Book 2, Love at Solace Lake series, by Jana Richards

 No matter how deeply buried, secrets rise to the surface.

Blurb:  Scarlet Lindquist has agreed to help her sisters rebuild the dilapidated fishing lodge in Minnesota they inherited from their grandparents. Although the lengthy restoration is bringing the three sisters closer together, Scarlet’s support is temporary. Her leave of absence from her job in Chicago is temporary and she has no intention of staying at Solace Lake Lodge, where the lake holds dark secrets. When frightening childhood memories resurface, they are tempered by her fascination with an irritating contractor. If only she could trust her feelings for him. If only he could trust her.

Cameron Hainstock meets Scarlet at his brother’s wedding to her sister and their attraction is instantaneous. But Cam avoids the beautiful marketing executive. All his efforts are aimed at battling for custody of his only child. When the unimaginable happens and Cam faces the biggest challenge of his life, he’s reluctant to accept help to halt his downward spiral. Can they learn to trust each other and fight for a future together or will they go their separate ways?

 Excerpt:

When she looked into his eyes, his loneliness reached into her heart and squeezed.

“I can help you clear out Tessa’s room. You shouldn’t have to do it alone.” The words came out of her mouth before she had a chance to think over the wisdom of her offer.

If his face had been expressionless before, it was stony now. “I appreciate the offer. But this is something I need to do myself.”

She nodded and did her best to smile, even though her heart had been smashed against a wall. She’d offered to help out of friendship and even that had been rejected.

“I’d better get going.” Clutching her clipboard against her chest, she turned to leave.

Before she could make her escape, he touched her arm. “Scarlet, wait.” Cameron let his hand drop to his side, his voice no more than a whisper. “It’s better for me to pack up Tessa’s things by myself because I don’t think I can do it without crying. I’m not comfortable letting anyone see me that way.”

White hot anger bubbled to the surface. “Don’t forget who you’re talking to, Cameron. I have seen you that way, and you’ve seen me. Maybe we both need a good cry and a chance to mourn. But you’re too damn stubborn to even grieve, or let me grieve. You’ve got your emotions so tightly packed inside that one day they’re going to explode. And this time, I won’t be there to pick up the pieces.”

Our Author’s Bio:

When Jana Richards read her first romance novel, she immediately knew two things: she had to commit the stories running through her head to paper, and they had to end with a happily ever after. She also knew she’d found what she was meant to do. Since then she’s never met a romance genre she didn’t like. She writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and historical romance set in World War Two, in lengths ranging from short story to full length novel. Just for fun, she throws in generous helpings of humor, and the occasional dash of the paranormal.

When not writing up a storm or dealing with dust bunnies, Jana can be found pursuing hobbies such as golf (which she plays very badly) or reading (which she does much better).

Jana lives in Western Canada with her husband Warren and two senior cats named Layla and Leelou. You can reach her through her website at http://www.janarichards.com
