 New Book Release!
REKINDLED, Peaceful Pilgrims Series: Book 6 Landon Robinson and Nickira Cassidy met and fell hard. The only child of filthy rich parents, she’s an heiress with obligations to fulfill. Her father had picked out the son of a close business associate for her when she was just a teenager, and she was already engaged years in advance of the anticipated wedding of the century. Landon convinced her to give it all up for him. He’d never fallen for any woman before, but he lost his head completely over Nickira. Her family disowned her when she got pregnant. In the fallout, a princess realized she wasn’t cut out for squalor and a dirt-poor playboy didn’t have the skills to hold onto the heaven he never expected to capture. Forty years later, divorced, neither of them feel any older or wiser. Reconciling how badly they’d messed up the one thing in their lives they both wish they’d given themselves to unconditionally seems impossible. Can dying embers rekindle?
