Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Dr. Seuss

Life is full of moments that stick with you (good or bad). I took my half-asleep nephew out of the car to take him inside the house. After wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder, he told me ‘I love you. I wish you were part of my family’. I reminded him I was his aunt, so I was part of his family. ‘No,’ he said ‘I want to you to to be a part of my family and always live in my house’. Awww! 

My brother’s toddler twins grinned and played games with me while I fed them in their highchairs. 

And we attended a kid’s chess competition in Las Vegas where we realized in half-panic/half-laughing in shock/half-horrified that there are half-naked pictures of women…everywhere! Including on the road as we’re driving behind a sketchy truck showing what they were offering and on lifesize posters while walking to our room.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen my nephews eyes so big. We had a lot to discuss when we finally made it into the room. 

Yep. Moments can be crazy. We’ll be talking, shaking our heads, and laughing about them for years to come. I hope you have some memorable moments of your own that will become memories for the book of your life.

Autumn Kisses and Pumpkin Magic

An Enchanted Beginning

Abigail ran the bakery the women in her family had started generations before, using her kitchen empathy Gift to infuse the baked goods with positive emotions to benefit the community. She loved what she did, but no more so than when the door jangled and in walked Killian James. He fascinated her like no one else and their daily conversations in the bakery were the highlight of her day as he slowly gave her glimpses of the charming man under the shuttered façade.

A man looking for a new start

New to town, Killian had left all he’d ever known and knew his scarred soul might never heal but everything changed when he walked into the local bakery and looked into the warm brown eyes of Abigail Harrington.  His head told him to back away, that it was dangerous to even contemplate letting anyone get close but his soul recognized something in her that drew him ever closer. Her innocently alluring warmth made resisting her as difficult as not eating her warm cinnamon rolls and, as he found himself returning to the bakery every morning, began to wonder why he was fighting it at all.

Falling under Autumn’s Magic

When the annual Harvest Moon Festival begins, the town is painted with pumpkins, caramel apples, and magical corn mazes under brilliant blue autumnal skies. An impulsive invitation on Killian’s part leads the two of them to nights baking muffins and days strolling through the festively decorated town square with Abigail’s hand in his.

But when the truth of his past comes to light, will it irrevocably damage their chance for a future together?
