Their Heart Search: Bethany & Jordan's Story (Search Series) (21 page)

“Oh my God!” She screamed. She got up and raced back to the house. In the morning it would all be a bad dream.

“Keila?” Her mother’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. “You’ll show him around when he arrives?” she asked again.

“Of course, mom.” Keila replied before grabbing an apple to eat while she waited on the mysterious cowboy on the front porch.

Woodrow

Twenty-four year old Woodrow Drake just needed to get the hell out of this place. Nothing was left for him. His fiancée was killed in a car crash, she had been pregnant. Woodrow didn’t even know. He only found out from the doctor when he delivered the blow that Annalyse was gone.

“Mr. Drake.” A male voice came from behind him. Woodrow had been standing in the hospital waiting room for over twelve hours.

“Yes,” he spoke, his voice hoarse as he turned to face the man who had called his name.

“Mr. Drake, I’m Doctor Kasner.” Woodrow didn’t take his extended hand. The doctor sighed and dropped his hand. “Annalyse didn’t make it and she was too early in her pregnancy to save the baby.” Woodrow fell to the floor. Annalyse was gone, what was he going to do? As he struggled to breathe, he focused on the second part of what the doctor said. Baby? Annalyse was pregnant? How did he not know this?

“Doctor…” He rasped out, “She was pregnant?” he questioned.

“Yes, Mr. Drake. Only five weeks. It’s likely she didn’t know or just found out.”

That day from a year earlier still haunted Woodrow. In the blink of an eye he lost everything he imagined his life was supposed to be. He was drowning and he knew he had to get out of the quiet town he lived in. Iowa was home, but that was gone now. He closed his eyes, and circled his index finger over the map he had spread out on the table. When his finger touched down he opened his eyes. Bison, South Dakota it was.

I am a Paranormal/Fantasy Romance Author

I’m twenty-nine years old. I am a Navy Wife and a mother of two. My daughter was born December 4, 2010 and my son was born July 18, 2013. My husband and I have been married for almost seven years, but we have been together since our junior year of high school and we have known each other since 8th grade, yes a long time.

I am a Florida girl at heart, but since getting married I have lived in Washington, South Carolina, and our latest move Connecticut. I hold a B.A. in Multimedia Journalism with a minor in Political Science from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida.

Writing is something I love and since I am blessed to be a stay at home mom I thought I would try my hand at getting the stories in my head out and see how far I could go. I tried a few years ago to go through a Literary Agency, but it went nowhere. The self-publishing market was just starting to get hot so I self-published two books mainly for family and friends.  I then discovered the world of New Adult. I wanted to stick with my paranormal roots and began thinking up story ideas that took on not only a paranormal element, but a fantasy element as well

My Motto: Not your average Fairy Tales

So, that is me in a nutshell. I am a little crazy and simple and I love my life and my family.
