THE BOOK
THE LOVER’S BRIDGE RELEASES TODAY
THE BLURB
In a single weekend, Thom loses everything—his home, his
business, and his fiancée. Can a trip to the Scottish Highlands help him
salvage what remains and build a new life that will last?
If you love time portal romances with one foot in this era and another in the
past, you'll be sure to enjoy The Lover's Bridge.
Pennsylvania, 2000: Thom Davidson spent twelve years restoring his family’s
ancestral home and expanding his reputation as Nittany Valley’s premier
restoration contractor while his fiancée completed her Ivy League law degree.
Then, on one tragic weekend, everything he’d planned and built evaporated like
the Highland mists.
Embarking alone on what was to have been his honeymoon in the Scottish
Highlands, Thom hopes to regain his footing and figure out what comes next, but
what he discovers is an opportunity that’s beyond anything he ever imagined.
Scotland, 1771: Jonatt McDonnell is a spinster in every sense of the word. A
second-generation refugee trapped in a version of Bieldfell suspended in time,
she sees few prospects for her future…until Thom Davidson emerges from the
morning mists.
She knows where he came from, and she hopes he will stay, but his decision must
be quick and will likely be permanent.
Understanding both the opportunities and the risks, Thom feels honor-bound to
return one last time to his own era, but the time portal has only been tried in
one direction. If he leaves Jonatt in the past, will he ever find her again?
THE FIRST LINE
Ready as he’d ever be, Thom Davidson lingered, one leg dangling from the pickup’s tailgate, watching as gossamer clouds caressed the slopes of Tussey Mountain like fingers, slipping softly into the hollows where the foliage of oak, maple, birch, and hickory lay like a patchwork quilt against the evergreen pines.
THE AUTHOR
Growing up in Texas, I dictated my first stories to my mama before I was old enough to write them down myself. She humored me, for which I am grateful, and I've been telling stories in one form or another ever since.
Fast forward more years than I'll admit to. Children grown. House (relatively) quiet. And I have a slew of characters living in my head, all clamoring to tell their stories and insisting that I write them!
I write about the things I know. The things I love--God, family, history--and how those things fit together to demonstrate timeless truths.
Time is precious. As a reader, you give a great gift when you choose to spend time reading my books, and I'm grateful.
My ambition is to give you a gift of memorable stories in return.
