in Motion
A
Rescued Hearts Novel

Blurb
Take
two cats, a dog, and a determined woman…
Animal
lover Abby Pimm isn’t looking for love. With two rescue cats, one
rescue dog, a struggling business, and her fourteen-year-old sister
to raise, she’s got her hands full. What she needs is an angel –
though she’ll settle for the devil if he’ll invest in her
fledgling company and keep it afloat.
Add a
six-year-old girl…
Wealthy
businessman Holden Ramsay is no devil. He’s doing all the right
things, and when he’s forced to care for his ex’s six-year-old
daughter, he ends up hiring Abby as a temporary sitter – a woman
who lights up his damaged heart, and perks up other organs as well. A
woman who might be his redemption…or his downfall.
Who’s
rescuing who?
The
animals that Abby rescued think maybe it’s time they do a little
rescue work of their own—because sometimes humans in love can be so
dense…

Excerpt
Abby
watched Holden Ramsay stride up her front sidewalk, purpose in every
firm step. Daisy had told her he was coming to pick up Cara and, in
the future, would be dropping her off in the mornings. If not for the
girl’s sad little face, she might have smiled at Daisy and made her
apologies.
That
and the fact that she desperately needed the money. Daisy’s
proposal was an answer to the prayer she hadn’t made. Enough to pay
a few bills and get them over this hump.
Only
two weeks…
By
then she would think of something to keep them going. Something to
save them all.
She
crossed her arms and leaned against the doorjamb.
He
hadn’t changed. A face like that could be on a movie poster. A chin
that looked stubborn. A line permanently etched into his forehead.
Brows slashed above silvery-blue eyes that made her feel as if he
were peering into her soul.
“Well,
if it isn’t the Big Bad Wolf at my door,” she said.
His
face that had been set in hard lines made a lightning change to
surprise. The lower half of his face opened into a grin, and she
thought it was like watching a large rock crack in half.
Still
looking at him, she amended that to a very handsome rock.
“Do
you really want me to say the Big Bad Wolf’s reply, Little Red?”
She
groaned, though she’d asked for it. When would she learn to keep
her mouth shut? So what if keeping her mouth shut was boring? She
could be boring.
But
not today.
She
pushed away from the doorjamb. “Only if you want to get your shin
kicked.”
“Hard
to resist that line. I could take my chances.”
“And
I could kick higher.”
He
laughed again and shook his head. “You have an odd effect on me.”
“Join
the crowd.” She gestured behind him, as if hundreds of confused,
invisible people were milling there, afraid to get too close to her.
“So you are human. That’s not what I’ve been hearing.”
“I’m
sure it’s nothing Ryan ever said about me.”
“It
was a long time ago that I dated your brother for a glorious ten
days.” She rolled her eyes, though there was a small ache in her
chest. Not for Ryan. For her parents, who’d laughed at her when
she’d fumed at them about Ryan and his brother, until she’d
laughed, too.
She
tamped the ache down. She preferred to think they were still alive
somewhere, in another dimension, another place. Maybe just a breath
away, sending her and Grace love. Telling her they believed in her.
Telling her not to let one of the city’s wealthiest bachelors
overwhelm her.
As if.
“My
brother’s an asshole,” he said.
“No
arguments.” She grinned. “You said the same thing nine years ago
when I went to your house and asked for my physics book back.”
“Demanded
it back. Said you were going to call the police on Ryan if I didn’t
get it for you.” He lowered his head to peer down at her, reminding
her that her feet were bare, and she was about ten inches shorter
than his six-foot-or-more height.
She
straightened her spine. “And you told me to go ahead and call the
police.”
He
chuckled.
“You
got the book for me anyway.”
“I
was afraid you would combust in my grandmother’s foyer if I didn’t.
How did you do in physics, anyway?”
She
opened the screen door. “Like I said, a long time ago. Come on in.”

Info
In my
stories, miracles are interrupted…but sometimes a few sneak
through. I like to think miracles happen in life, too. Part of the
reason I feel this way is because I was weaned on fairy tales. But
when my mother unleashed me into the aisles of my local library, I
gravitated to Nancy Drew. I also devoured comic books about Wonder
Woman and Super Girl. My penchant for strong heroines who don’t
wait for men to save them is reflected in my books.
I
started my writing career selling short stories for mystery magazines
and anthologies. I’ve published quite a few paranormal romances and
I’ve even tiptoed into the sci fi romance genre. Now I write
contemporary romance with heart and attitude and magic. I love
writing a magical realism series set in the small village of Miracle,
Wisconsin. These are stand-alone books, and anything can and does
happen. Everyone gets a chance to tell their story, from a cat to a
young blogger to a young woman to young seniors.
I
don’t think I’ll ever get bored with this series. I hope my
readers feel the same way. My goal is to make readers laugh a little,
cry a little, and feel happy a lot.
I live
in southeastern Wisconsin with my husband, dog and a very special
cat. You can follow me on my

Musings,

Review
I have to admit that I enjoy a good story where animals are involved. The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover and I'm happy to say that I found it fitting well with the story. I love Addy's dedication to her animals. She loves them and does everything for them. She's also taking care of her younger sister which shows her huge heart. When she goes to work for Holden your not sure if two so different people could ever come together. Holden tries to come off as a cold man, with a frozen heart, but you soon learn that's not true. This is a fun, sweet romance that leaves wanting more. A must read! Happy reading!
