This is a new release and one I'm very proud of. My granddaughter is on the cover as a shaded figure. The book is for my adopted biracial daughter and her daughters. Since I can't remember how to do this, while the blurb is PG, the story is spicy.
Blurb:
Ginny’s new job as patient care coordinator at a suburban hospital is a dream come true. She can raise her daughter and young niece away from the city.
The older orthopedic surgeon who recruited her helps make the move easier. His stroke brings his son, another surgeon home to take over his father’s practice. Unfortunately, Ginny remembers him from an evening encounter at the city hospital where she worked. They had words. He also remembers that night.
They clash but beneath the anger, there is an attraction. Blake wants her in his bed and attempts to romance her. Then he discovers he wants her forever and must eat a lot of crow.
Excerpt:
When Ginny turned the corner, she stopped short. A barely contained urge to run in the
opposite direction caused her to approach the desk with slow, measured
steps. Young Dr. Marshall
was tall, handsome -- and black. He was
also the resident who two years ago had questioned her nursing judgment. Though she had been vindicated, a patient had
suffered needless pain.
Her hands
curled into fists. Dr. Marshall laughed
at something Val said and then turned to Lisa.
The knot in Ginny’s abdomen swelled into her chest. No way, she thought. She wouldn’t allow this man or anyone to
detour her from her chosen road. She plastered
a smile on her face that she knew didn’t watch the hostility she felt.
“Dr.
Marshall, I’m Ms. Barr, Patient Care Coordinator for the unit. Welcome to Hudson View.”
Lisa
strolled away. “See you around, Dr.
Marshall. You’ll soon discover Hudson
View is nothing like the University for interesting and exciting cases.”
Ginny
stiffened. Why did Lisa constantly bad
mouth the hospital? If she felt bored,
she should have stayed at the University.
A slow
smile curved Dr. Marshall’s lips. His
dark brown eyes appraised Ginny with the intensity of a scientist peering
through a microscope. He held out a
hand. She resisted the desire to thrust
her hands behind her back. Instead, she
held her arms stiffly at her sides.
“Ms.
Barr, Blake Marshall. My father speaks
highly of you.” He rested the hand she
had refused to touch on the counter that separated the nurses’ station from the
hall.
“Then I
must thank him. He has been eagerly
awaiting your arrival.”
She held
back a groan. Stilted conversation had
never been her forte, but this morning and with this man, she’d become an
expert. The knot edged into her
throat. She gulped a breath. Why did the air between them smell of ozone
as though a bolt of lightning had struck nearby?
She saw a
question in his eyes and wondered if he remembered the night they’d met. She had called him twice and the third time
had demanded he come to assess a patient.
She would never forget because that had been the night Joey had left
Manda. Angry thoughts swept her into the
past.

I agree with Kayelle. Nothing like bringing a handsome doctor to his knees. Love the fact you were able to get your granddaughter on the cover.
How fun for your granddaughter to get to be a cover model!
And I love the conflict in the book. Nothing like making a hero see the error of his ways.
Best of luck!
Unique, Janet, and such a touching gesture, having your granddaughter on the cover!
Conflict in romance always works, doesn't it?
Great snippet.

I love the conflict and how you showed the characters' body language. You could feel the emotions. Great word choices! I am so happy you shard with us about your granddaughter. She is pretty and what a special, meaningful tribute. You both will never forget.
Congratulations on new release. Bet your daughter is excited to be on the cover.
The body language was fantastic.
Love the cover and your granddaughter in the back ground - very cool. Beverley
I've been peering at your granddaughter's image trying to make out her features. She must be chuffed at having her photo on the cover.
Congratulations on your new release.
