I have sooooo many books!
The This or That Giveaway! feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to cull my collection and to share some of the many books I have. I get to clear off some of my shelves to make room for more books and give someone else the chance to enjoy these treasures.
Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

The Cottage at Firefly Lake
(Firefly Lake #1)
by Jen Gilroy
Mass Market Paperback ~ Published January 2017
Some mistakes can never be fixed and some secrets never forgiven . . . but some loves can never be forgotten.
Charlotte Gibbs wants nothing more than to put the past behind her, once and for all. But now that she's back at Firefly Lake to sell her mother's cottage, the overwhelming flood of memories reminds her of what she's been missing. Sun-drenched days. Late-night kisses that still shake her to the core. The gentle breeze off the lake, the scent of pine in the air, and the promise of Sean's touch on her skin . . . True, she got her dream job traveling the world. But at what cost?
Sean Carmichael still doesn't know why Charlie disappeared that summer, but after eighteen years, a divorce, and a teenage son he loves more than anything in the world, he's still not over her. All this time and her body still fits against his like a glove. She walked away once when he needed her the most. How can he convince her to stay now?

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites to use is an adorable photo of one of my grandkids. I get to look at that cutie over and over. My daughter, who worked in a public library, found a $50 bill in a returned book that was being used as a bookmark. Who does that? Who has a $50 just laying around?
