So, today I am so happy to showcase my longtime (in Facebook years, anyway) friend, Sherry Gloag. Her blog, The Heart of Romance, has been a must-stop for all my releases and it should be for yours. Learn a little more about her recent release from Sweet Cravings Publishing, No Job for a Woman.
No Job For a Woman ....by Author Sherry Gloag
Blurb:
Deborah Stavely is
determined to overcome the increasing harassment from her neighbour without
calling on her brother for help. So she is not pleased when Freddie intervenes
and involves his friend, Julian Fanshaw.
Circumstances
demand Julian and Deborah learn to work together and Julian dares to dream that
he might gain the love of the only person he’s ever given his heart to.
But will Deborah
live long enough to discover that by releasing everything she values, she will
gain everything her heart desires?
Julian Fanshaw
answers a call for help from his life-long friend Lord Worth to help keep his
friend’s widowed sister, Deborah, safe from her increasingly vindictive
neighbours. It doesn’t take long to realise him or Freddie long to realise the
Grangers aren’t using her as a long-promised act of revenge against them; but
are playing a deeper and far more sinister game of their own.
Excerpt:
Julian Fanshaw ignored the other letters in
front of him when he recognized one from his long-time friend Freddie
Dalrymple, now Lord Worth. He broke the seal and scanned the single sheet with
growing concern.
Julian, my friend, I am writing to
implore you to put aside whatever plans you have in hand and to set out
immediately to stay with us for an indeterminate period of time.
Thoroughly alarmed, Julian flipped the page
in his hand to discover it had been dispatched more than a week ago.
If I bring to mind a certain student up
at Oxford with us, and reveal that he and his wife are, and have been, my
sister’s neighbors for several years, it will give you but an inkling of the
root of my concern.
It has come to my attention, due to the
arrival of his brother upon the scene, and recent events concerning my sister,
Deborah, I am persuaded you need not only to know what is happening here, but
be on hand to assist in circumventing any consequences of actions taken against
her.
I have taken the liberty of gathering
some friends together for a couple of shooting parties, thereby creating a
reason for your presence.
Since his return from the Peninsular,
Julian kept promising himself a trip to Worth’s Norfolk estate. Unfortunately
in the last eighteen months, time and circumstances had worked against him.
Casting the letter aside, Julian strode to
the door and called for his butler.
“I am leaving immediately for Norfolk.
Please see that my bags are packed and have my horse ready within the hour.”
“You do not intend to use your chaise,
sir?”
“No. I’ll ride, with a stop to visit Mr.
Sewel. Arrange for Becket and French to follow me in the chaise with everything
I’ll need for a month.”
Not by so much as a flick of an eyelid did
Thomas reveal he recognized the name of his master’s man of business.
“Very good, sir.”
BIO
Multi-published author, Sherry
Gloag is a transplanted Scot now living in the beautiful coastal countryside of
Norfolk, England. She considers the surrounding countryside as extension
of her own garden, to which she escapes when she needs "thinking
time" and solitude to work out the plots for her next novel. While
out walking she enjoys talking to her characters, as long as there are no other
walkers close by.
Apart from writing, Sherry enjoys
gardening, walking, reading and cheerfully admits her books tend to take over
most of the shelf and floor space in her workroom-cum-office. She also
finds crystal craft work therapeutic.
As always, indie authors love to hear from fans, friends, and followers. Give her a shout!
