JUST A HINT

I've had people ask me if I can give them more hints as to what the book is about.  Well if I told them too many details, that would ruin it for them.  So I have put together a picture collage of items or themes from the book for you to enjoy.  I hope they give you just enough hint to want to read it. :)

EXCERPT - CHAPTER 10

     Gold creek was beautiful, much like the other places they’d been. Trees, rushing water and mountains, each fighting to be the most beautiful sight. Mari wished they could hike through the area to see more of it, there had to be waterfalls and even wild animals nearby. Maybe someday they would be able to come back on their own to explore.
     Her mind was preoccupied, taking in the gorgeous scenery and the historical narration from their guide at the same time. She never noticed that Graham walked away and stood looking over the water, his back to them.
     “Mama, I think daddy is sad again,” Sarah was tugging on her sleeve.

      Mari looked around to find Graham and thought she saw him shaking. “I’ll go see what wrong sweetie, just stay here is and listen to Prospector Joe. I’ll be right back.” 

      She hurried over to him “Honey are you okay?” She touched his arm. He was definitely shaking.
     “I never should have agreed to take Sarah on this excursion.” He took Mari into his arms and held her so tight she could barely breathe.
     “Graham, what’s wrong, you’re scaring me. I’ve never seen you like this before.”

EXCERPT CHAPTER - 9

     Mari ordered for Graham and herself and by the time the first appetizer arrived, he still hadn't joined them. She was most of the way done with her salad when she felt a strong hand squeeze her shoulder.
     “Sorry I’m late everybody!” Graham took his seat between his wife and daughter, and lifted his soup spoon. “What’s this?” he asked looking at the appetizer. The spoon went right back on the table and he looked at it curiously.
     “Cold Raspberry soup.” Mari answered. “What’s wrong, does it smell bad? I thought raspberries were your favorite.”
     “They are. It’s just, well, it’s just that the smell of it kind of sent a strange jolt through me and all  I want to do is kiss you now. Why on earth would that happen?” he whispered.
     Mari laughed and grabbed his arm to pull him closer. “I use raspberry scented beauty products, maybe the soup reminded you of me,” she whispered.
     “Oh God, you’re right,” Graham groaned. Mari swore she saw him blushing.
     After a moment of looking at each other and contemplating the meaning of what had just happened, they both laughed.

     Graham pushed the soup aside with a decision to wait for the next course. “If I want to eat something that smells like raspberries, I’ll eat you all up later,” he whispered in her ear. Mari dropped her fork with a loud clank.
     “Please tell me we aren’t having raspberries with the entree too,” he joked.
     “No,” she answered as the waiters set their plates in front of them,. "but maybe you can have some for dessert."

EXCERPT - CHAPTER 8

       Graham kissed her one last time before he pulled her back inside the train. The minute they walked through the door, Jackson noticed her tear streaked face and blazed over.

       Mari jumped between them, putting her hand on Jackson to push him back. “He didn’t make me cry Jackson so just back off.” she demanded.
       “Bull shit! Why is my sister crying, you son of a bitch!”

       “Stop it baby brother! Like I said, you need to back off. It wasn’t Graham, he is not going to hurt me again.”
       Ethan joined them “Come on son. I think Mari’s telling the truth. Why don’t you, Graham and I just calm down and talk. Mari you might want to go to Sarah, she looks a little worried.”
       Jackson took a few deep breaths. “Sorry man, I’ve just seen my sister cry too much because of you,” he offered his hand to shake.
       Graham took the offered hand and sighed. “It’s fine. I can’t argue with you on that one.

**************** 

       “Okay man but if you...” 

      Graham interrupted. “I know, I know, if I hurt her again, you’ll kick my ass. Don’t bother. If I hurt her again you won’t have to worry about kicking my ass. I’ll be dead by my own hand before you even get to me.”

EXCERPT - CHAPTER 7

     Mari didn’t know who was in more of a hurry to get to the suite, Graham or herself. She'd never walked so fast in her life and by the time he pulled the key card out of his wallet, she was out of breath. Graham on the other hand wasn’t even breathing hard.
     “Why aren’t you out of breath too? We practically ran all the way here.” she asked between deep breaths.
     “I have to keep in shape for my job, you know that sweetheart.”
     A sinful smile spread across her face and she laughed. She was about to find out exactly what shape he was in. Had she ever seen him naked before? Only once in the pool house when they were teens, and he'd been perfect then. She couldn’t even fathom what he would look like now with all of the Coast Guard, Firefighter and Search and Rescue training. And of course, his daily workouts at the gym. The visions of Graham naked did nothing to help regulate her breathing or calm her down.

     “Hey are you okay? The trek up the stairs wasn’t that bad was it?” he had the slightest look of amusement on his face.
     “I’m not so sure it was coming up the stairs that’s driving me wild Graham.” she smiled shyly. “I think it has more to do with the fact that I was imagining you naked,” she whispered.
     “Damn! What the hell are we still doing standing around out here for?” he ground out as he slid the key card in the door. He picked her up and carried her into the room. “Time to get naked, you know, so eventually you can breathe again.”

EXCERPT- CHAPTER 6

      “Hey, I’m just finishing my second shower of the day, come on in while I finish getting ready. We can go look for them together.” She didn’t think about it at the time, but Graham was probably a bit uncomfortable with her state of undress.
     He reluctantly stepped into the room, his eyes darting from point to point not wanting to look at her. Eventually though, he just couldn’t look away and his eyes settled on the silky skin just below her neck. One finger gently tugging the top of her towel and he would have access to everything he’d always wanted. “God woman, just because I can’t have you doesn’t mean I don’t want you. Please put some clothes on!”
      “I am, don’t worry.” She walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of sensible white underwear and a sapphire blue thong. "Which one Graham,” She asked holding them up for his review.

     “Marjorie!” he snapped. And in two steps he was next to her pulling her into his arms. “Damn it, why do you torture me so much?”
     His lips captured hers in a kiss so powerful they were both left shaking. She almost lost it when one strong hand worked its way inside her towel to rest on her abdomen.
     “So soft,” he said into her lips. His hand dallied on her stomach before dipping lower. “I’ve been waiting a lifetime to touch you like this.”
