~ Synopsis ~
Can two broken people help each other learn to
love again and find their way home?
For Samantha Cole,
love and relationships have never come easy. Pain and heartbreak have forced
her to build a wall around herself. Hoping to start over, Sam leaves Boston
behind and moves to Napa with her best friend. Trying to make better choices in
love, Sam establishes rules to keep her heart safe. Little did she know that
one man would challenge her and change her mind. He had the potential to break
down her walls and bring her heart back home.
Ben Foster has been dealing with heartache and guilt for the past two years, believing he lost his only chance at love. Pounding guys on the Rugby field and running the family winery get him through the pain. When Sam arrives he slowly lets out the breath he's been holding and the fog lifts. He wonders if she is the one that can help his heart find a new way home.
Letting go of the past and moving forward is not always easy. Their connection is strong, but their pasts keep getting in the way. Will Sam and Ben's journey tear them apart or help them find their way to becoming each other's home?

~ Excerpt ~
Looking up
into her moist eyes I pull her close to me. Our arms hug each other with a
fierceness that’s getting rid of every loose fragment of damage. We’re
expelling each and every bad memory and all the shit that’s fucked us up. “I
don’t want to let you go. Can we stay like this for a little while longer?” Her
head nods on my shoulder as she sinks deeper into our embrace.
“You
feel incredible in my arms. I never thought much about guardian angels, but I
think you’ve been sent just for me. Your arms wrapping around me make
everything go away.”
Sam’s
arms grip me with even more vigor. I feel her breath and lips tickle my ear as
she turns her head into the crook of my neck. Feather light kisses touch my
neck and earlobe as she whispers; “You’re wrong Ben; you’re my angel. You make
me believe that love can exist.” Her head pulls back but her arms stay firmly
in place. “Your voice brought light into my life when all I could see was
darkness. When I’m all alone, it’s your voice that I hear when I drift off to sleep
at night.”
I
turn and press my lips onto hers tenderly and hold them there for several
seconds before breaking away. We stay holding each other well into the night.
Finally, her breaths change and I realize she’s fallen asleep on my shoulder. I
gently shift her body close and place one arm underneath her legs to pick her
up. She stirs slightly and turns her head into the curve of my neck and inhales
deeply. “Mmm, you smell so good.”
I
hold her against me as I chuckle, “Oh yeah? It’s a combination of sweat, wine,
and you.”
Sighing
she lifts her head with her eyes still closed. “How is it you know to say the
exact thing a woman likes to hear?”
“I
don’t know about that. I guess you bring it out of me.”
We
get into the truck, and I buckle her up. I fight off the images of the accident
and instead focus on Sam. I listen to
her steady breaths and watch her sleep. She hypnotizes me. I’m captivated by her heart, beauty and soul.
Her capacity to let me in is remarkable and humbling especially when I don’t
think I deserve it. Home has to feel a lot like this because I can’t imagine
living anywhere else.

~ Fun Facts ~
1. I have a potty mouth. It doesn’t come out all the time but
when it does it tends to shock people.
2. I am a sucker for anything chocolate. It is a true addiction.
3. I love wine. Like really love wine. Red or white, I’m not biased.
4. I attend boot camp twice a week for personal torture. That’s when you may hear my potty mouth.
5. My original title for Finding Home was Say Anything, but legally I didn’t think I could do it.
6. My Kindle currently has 40+ books waiting to be read and yet I keep one-clicking. It’s yet another addiction.
7. I am a sucker for the Love Songs channel on Sirius XM. I’ve been known to wipe away tears as I’m driving and listening to a mushy and gushy one.
8. Some of the best friendships I have formed started on Facebook. Being in the indie author world I get to talk to the most amazing women I have had the pleasure of knowing.
9. I started writing Finding Home on my summer vacation before going back to work. I worked on it every night after my kids went to bed. It is a true labor of love and I have a new appreciation for people that work multiple jobs and juggle being a wife and mother.
10. Like Sam in my book, I am a true 80’s geek and love all things movie and music from that time period.
11. I’m an only child.
12. I love the Peanuts. I have to watch the holiday specials every time they come on with my daughters.
13. I go to the beach pretty much every day in the summer.
14. I’m a big sports fan. My favorites are football and baseball. Go Patriots and Red Sox!
15. I was editing my book when the Red Sox won the World Series. I was so excited that my lap top fell off my lap and crashed on the floor. I then happy danced around the house.
