Authors: Irene Hannon
Dear Reader,
Ever since I could put pen to paper, I've enjoyed writing. It's a very special gift for which I am deeply grateful.
Love is a gift, too. A precious and beautiful gift that requires courage and faith and trustâand yes, even riskâto reach its full potential.
It is a great joy for me to write about people like Nick and Laura, who find love and romance without compromising their moral values. And I am delighted to be part of Steeple Hill's Love Inspired line, which recognizes that readers want books that reaffirm the existence of character and honor and principles in today's world, despite media messages to the contrary.
I truly believe that good, old-fashioned romance lives even in this modern age. Virtues and values never go out of style. And heroes like Nick are out there, waiting to be found. I should know. I married one!
Happy endingsâ¦that's what romance is all about. May you find your own happy endingâand a lifetime of love!
