Most
folks find traveling exciting and romantic, but sometimes great fall romantic
travel can be found right at home.
Home
for me is in Southwest Louisiana, just 43 miles from the Texas state line.
I
don’t know about you but few things are as romantic as sunrise or sunset on the
lake, or a seafood feast.
If
you don’t find anything in SW LA that’s romantic in your opinion, you can
always travel East…Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans where you’ll find horse
drawn carriage rides, riverboat tours, night life and fine, Cajun/French
cuisine.
But,
no matter what you decide, or where you go, romance is in the heart.

The Visionary
Blurb:
A visionary is someone who sees into the future Taylor
Forrestier sees into the past but only as it pertains to her work. Hailed by
her peers as “a visionary with an
instinct for beauty and an eye for the unique” Taylor is undoubtedly
a brilliant architect and gifted designer. But she and twin brother Trevor,
share more than a successful business. The two share a childhood wrought with
lies and deceit and the kind of abuse that’s disturbingly prevalent in today’s
society. Can the love of God and the
awesome healing power of His grace and mercy free the twins from their past and
open their hearts to the good plan and the future He has for their lives?
Excerpt:
“Thank you for taking such good care of me.”
“I’m not through yet,” he mumbled, then slid off
the couch and swung her up in his arms.
Fear snuck in, darkening her eyes. She stiffened
and opened her mouth to protest. He brushed his lips over hers and silenced her
objections.
“I just want to hold you,” he whispered and laid
his forehead against hers. “That’s all. I promise,” he added, unable to
camouflage the need in his voice.
***
He’d offered her another step to relinquish her
fear and trust him. Triumph lit his expressive eyes when she wrapped her arm
around his neck, smiled, and whispered, “Okay,” then snuggled her face against
his shoulder and let him carry her to the bedroom.
With exquisite tenderness, he laid her on the
bed, crawled up beside her, and took her in his arms. Taylor felt the strength
of his need in the heat and tensed against the hardness of his body. He eased
his grip and propped up on one elbow beside her. His eyes pleaded for grace
when he stroked the hair off her face and said in a soft, husky voice, “Please
don’t be afraid of me; please trust me. I will never force or even persuade you
to give more than you’re ready to.”
They gazed at each other for a long, tender
moment. She cupped his cheek in her hand, brushed her thumb over his mouth,
then curled her fingers in his hair and urged his head down to fasten her lips
to his. A low moan escaped his throat, yet he held himself taut.
Taylor ran her hand over his shoulder and back
in a soft caress then wrapped her arms around his waist. “Hold me, Alex, I
trust you.”
The emotions reflected in his tone caressed her
heart when he thanked her in that beautiful velvety-rough voice. He rolled onto
his back, pulled the covers over her, and held her while she slept.
