She’s
a woman full of dreams
When a stranger arrives in town on a vintage motorcycle, Jill Carpenter has no idea her life is about to change forever. She never expected her own personal knight in shining armor would be an incredibly charming and handsome southern man-but one with a deep secret.
He’s a man hoping to outrun a tragedy
When Chase Preston jumped on his motorcycle to escape his wounded life, he didn’t expect the perfect woman to fall into his arms... literally! But though he can’t deny his feelings for the sweet and beautiful Jill, he doesn’t see any way he and his mistake-filled past will fit into her bright future.
Falling in love may require more than either can give
The longer Chase stays in Kennison Falls, the more deeply Jill and the people of her home town pull him in. The more Jill discovers heroic qualities in Chase, the more she wants to find a home in his arms-if only he would trust her with the truth. But will truth tear them apart when Jill’s dreams start coming true and Chase’s past finally returns to haunt him? Or, can they get beyond dreams to find the love that will rescue their two hearts?

#1:
“You
must be awful tired,” Chase said. “You haven’t stopped moving
all day. Want something to drink? There’s a water pitcher in the
refrigerator, or I saw hot cocoa mix and some tea.”
“Are
you going to have something?”
“I’m
not a tea man, but I’ll heat some water for the cocoa if you like.”
“Perfect.”
He
eased from the couch, and Jill closed her eyes. Angel shifted and
Jill stroked her head rhythmically. Nothing hurt. Nothing pressed on
her body or her mind. Chase didn’t ask her what she’d done today,
what she was doing tomorrow or next week or next fall. He shuffled
pots in the kitchen and it sounded safe and comfortable .
She
opened her eyes to a dim room. Warmth from a thick quilt cocooned
her. Gentle snoring from the end of the sofa filled the room, and she
lifted her head to see Angel curled like a little husky at her feet.
Chase was nowhere to be seen. Struggling to her seat, she winced
slightly at the stiffness in her shoulder and squinted at a mug on
the coffee table in the middle of the floor. That’s when she heard
it again. The voice that had awoken her.
“No.”
Chase spoke softly, urgently, a note of despair in his voice. “She
can’t be gone. You’re the…Brody…have to save her.” His
voice trailed off into unintelligible syllables.
Jill
stood, curious but confused. Who was he talking to? Someone in his
sleep? What time was it? She pressed the glow button on her watch and
read 2:15 a.m.
“This
isn’t our place anymore.” Chase mumbled again. “Didn’t want.
My fault. Brody…failed.”
He was
curled into a loose ball on his side, fully clothed, on top of the
bed quilt. Nothing moved, he didn’t thrash like a victim of
nightmares supposedly did, and the only indication he was dreaming
was a slight tic around his closed eyes. A deep frown.
Carefully
she touched his shoulder. “Chase?”
“Huh?”
Like a trap snapping shut, his hand shot out and clamped around her
wrist. She screeched. “What the —” he began, and bolted
upright. “Jill? What’s wrong?”
“Oh,
lord, I was about to ask you the same thing. You scared the crap out
of me.” She looked down at her wrist and he followed her eyes. When
he realized how tightly he held her, his fingers sprang open.
“Sorry!
Sorry.” He released a huge sigh and raked his hand through his
hair. “You can’t sneak up on a guy from the hood.”
“The
hood?”
“Memphis.
Where I lived, it wasn’t cool to startle someone.”
“I’m
really sorry too. You were —mumbling in your sleep. I was making
sure you’re okay.”
He
rubbed his eyes. “Was I saying anything interesting?”
“You
were trying to save someone.”
He
went still. She stroked the side of his arm. “Is everything okay?”

Review
I have to say I enjoy books written by Lizbeth Selvig. They are just really well written, feel-good books. Chase has so much going on in his life and he's taken way to much guilt on his shoulders. Which makes he such a great hero. He comes to town and keeps what he really does for a living to himself. Which is his right. When he meets Jill they just click. I did at times have a issue with the age thing. I kinda get tired of authors making that such a big deal. The interaction between Jill and her sister is good too. There is nothing like a pissed off woman, add in the fact that its a sister, and that can take over a person. I think you'll find this to be a very good, quick read with likable characters. Well, not all the characters are nice. Now you'll have to read the book to find out who I'm talking about. Happy reading!
