BLURB:
Blood sisters till the end...
Until they're not.
One cold night in a boarding school dorm, two fourteen-year-old girls
make a blood sister pact. Friends forever. As young schoolgirls, they're
determined to find true love, learning the hits and misses along the way. As
graduation nears, the girls have different outlooks for the future. Lucinda
longs for adventure. Anna chooses city life and marriage. Finding their way
back together, the girls head west for an experience of a lifetime until a
handsome cowboy bursts into their lives, changing the course of their
friendship forever.
EXCERPT:
Anna tentatively put the other foot on the ice. “I’m doing
it!” She grinned widely for a second until her body slipped out from under her.
“Anna!” Lucinda grabbed for her, but it was too late. Anna
lay a few feet away from the boy who still struggled to get on his feet. “Come
on.” Lucinda seized Anna by one arm and the boy by the other and marched them
to a bench. “Watch and learn.” She daintily walked away on her skates and
slipped slowly back onto the ice. She caught up with her sister. Arm in arm
they disappeared into the crowd.
“Hello, I don’t think we formally met.” The young man stuck
out his hand. “James Trent.”
“Anna. Anna Douglass.” She shook his gloved hand. He had a
nice smile, auburn hair and golden brown eyes. A few freckles were sprinkled
across his nose.
James smoothed his hair back and replaced the cap he
probably lost during the fall. “I’m a sophomore over at Lake Forest.”
“This is my first year at Ferry.” Anna gazed down at the
snowy ground, suddenly nervous.“First time on skates?” He laughed and snorted
at the same time.Anna relaxed and looked him in the eye. She saw a faint
redness creep up his neck and knew he was embarrassed. “You couldn’t tell?” She
giggled, hoping he noticed she forgave the snort.“Well, I’m not giving up. I
hope you won’t either. What I mean is I hope I see you here again.”
