Legacy Reborn
by Genie Gabriel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
An attorney devoted to social causes and a burned out women's advocate
help save their home town while struggling not to fall in love. However, an
unintended pregnancy and a gift from the heart lead them on a journey to new
possibilities and love.

EXCERPT:
As the sun stretched its morning rays gently over the
farm, Phoenix
rose quietly and walked onto the newly constructed deck. Tears misted her eyes
once again.
"Do you like it?" CJ asked quietly.
She couldn't speak, but simply nodded and held out
her hand to him.
CJ took her hand and led her to stand in front of the
sliding glass doors that enclosed the deck, making it a cozy retreat with a
fire burning in the outdoor fireplace.
"You have blisters on your hands." Phoenix turned CJ's hands
up and looked at the palms.
"Love blisters."
"I don't want to upset Romeo by using all his
ointment."
CJ and Phoenix
laughed together, then lapsed into silence. After a moment, CJ asked, "Are
you okay with getting married?"
Slowly, Phoenix
nodded. "I still can't quite believe something so beautiful has come into
my life. Then all the old fears and doubts start crowding into my head. But my
'sisters' helped me see love is a gift we should treasure and not a regret we
passed up."
Turning his palms up, Phoenix kissed the blisters on CJ's hands.
One by one.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I'm an optimist
whose rose-colored glasses have bent frames and cracked lenses. When life kicks
me in the teeth, I find miracles and lessons I refused to learn an easier way.
In fact, I live with a small herd of miracles in the furry forms of dogs, who
are constantly trying to teach me to forgive, to play more, and to love without
limits. I write about people who find courage and integrity in the darkest
times of their lives, who rescue stray dogs and kittens, who find a person they
would willingly give their lives for, and who make their little corners of the
world a better place. People have remarked my stories "aren't what they
expected." With rose-colored glasses firmly in place, I take that as a
compliment. I invite you to share a piece of my world in the pages of a book,
and hope you find some surprises, some tears, some laughter, and always a happy
ending.
NOTE: All nine
books in the Halo Legacy Series will be $0.99 the day of the tour!
