Weekend Writing Warriors: Purple Heart

Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors.  My excerpt today comes from Purple Heart which is published by The Wild Rose Press.  In this excerpt my heroine Jenna is thinking about how she had to raise her daughter alone after her husband died.

For about the millionth time, Jenna vowed to be a good mother to Jo. Ethan couldn’t help her raise their child, but she’d do a bang up job for him. Angrily, she swiped hot tears from her cheek. She knew better than to think about the past. No power on earth could bring Ethan back to her.

The image of Mike Hightower broke into her thoughts. Having him around had underscored how lonely she sometimes felt. What woman didn’t want to feel loved and cherished and have a man to help her raise her family?

Weekend Writing Warriors: Purple Heart

War is hell they say, and it must be true because people come back from wars with emotional scars that are sometimes worse than physical wounds.  Mike Hightower, my hero in Purple Heart, is just such a man.  In this excerpt Mike explains to his brother why he doesn't like the woman he rented an apartment from.  But not to worry.  I only write happy endings!

Mike just snorted. “She’s one of the people who killed Ramirez.”

“What?”

“You know; Middle Eastern.”

David looked shocked. “Mike, she’s probably a nice woman. I know that Ramirez was your friend, but you can’t blame an entire race of people for what happened over there. If you don’t let go of this anger it’s going to eat you up.”
