Today I’m spotlighting CJ Carmichaels
latest release, Good Together. She and publisher will be awarding a print copy of "Good
Together" as well as cool author swag to one randomly drawn commenter
during the tour (US only).
BLURB:
Mattie,
the eldest of Marietta’s Carrigan girls, married rodeo cowboy, Wes Bishop,
right out of high school and raised twin daughters. A happy life, she thought,
but now that she’s in her late thirties and their daughters have left for
college, her husband has become strangely distant.
Then one night
Wes comes home late from a rodeo—with a stranger’s key in his pocket. He won’t
talk, but she knows something is wrong.
When her worst
fears are confirmed, the hits keep coming. It seems her husband is determined
to destroy everything she loves in this world. Thankfully she still has her
sisters, and her home on The Circle C Ranch. But more and more she thinks, not
of her roots in Marietta, but of her kind, dependable neighbour, Nat Diamond.
Over the years Nat has been a constant in her life, but only as a friend. Is it
possible the two of them could become more? But if Nat really does have
romantic feelings for her—as she suspects—why does he keep pulling away?
Is there
something he needs to tell her?
Excerpt:
“Parents have to step back when
their kids are grown. That’s just how it is.”
He’d never talked like this before.
“Our roles change,” she agreed, talking slowly, trying to figure out who this
man was. She’d always felt that their parenting styles blended perfectly. But
looking back now she could see that Wes had connected better with the girls
when they were younger. Their adolescent stage had confused him. And maybe he’d
pulled back more than she realized. “But they still need us.”
“Portia and Wren haven’t needed me
since I taught them to drive.”
“Why are you being so literal? You
know being part of a family is more than doing jobs for one another. Family
provides our emotional bedrock. None of us ever grow out of the need to be
loved.”
“And I’ll never stop loving them,”
Wes said, his voice subdued once more.
The implication of his words hit her
with another ferocious stab of pain.
He’d never stop loving their
daughters.
But he had stopped loving her.
