NEVER GIVE YOU UP / Weekend Writing Warriors 05/08/16

​Happy Mother’s Day weekend! This is my first post with the Weekend Writing Warriors, a place where authors share 8-10 sentences of their work. I’m excited to be a part of the action. :-)

​Mary Billings knows her solitary mountain life is over when a handsome stranger blows on to her land in an unmarked chopper. Terry McCoy is not only dangerous to the pretty widow’s shattered senses, he’s a hardened criminal no woman in her right mind would fall for.
