It Had To Be You

By Linda Windsor

Description:

Collision Course. Troubled Waters Ahead!

Rancher Dan Jarrett, a true stickler for tradition, doesn't believe in the love-at-first-sight bug that bit his widowed mom. In fact, he's sure the man she met and married on a seniors' cruise is a fraud, out to break her bankbook and her heart. Dan's mission? Endure a family holiday cruise till he gets enough proof to expose his stepfather for the scoundrel he is. But is his ticket to success a walking accident-waiting-to-happen with an infectious smile?

Nurse Fix-It to the Rescue!

Sunny Elders is determined. True, being paired with Dan Jarrett-time after time after time-might result in disaster, but it's no coincidence. The recent loss of her parents and her nurse's training make it impossible to ignore the obvious: This bull-headed cowpoke and his folks need help. Enter Sunny: a woman with a mission. But can she twist Dan's Stetson without tripping over her heart?

One thing is certain: Before this hilarious high-seas adventure is over, these two stubborn hearts will hit the unfamiliar waters of trust-trust in each other and in the One who orders our steps, who knows better than we ever could exactly what-and who-we need to be whole.

Book Takeaway:

Sometimes we are so busy taking care of others that we lose track of God and ourselves. Be slow to judge and quick to extend God's love, lest we hurt the ones we love the most.

Why the author wrote this book:

First, I have these crazy friends. Things happen to us, funny things that I put into this book. Yes, the things my hero and heroine experience were either my own experiences or those of my fellow traveling companions. The idea to use them started with a cruise to Jamaica for my daughter's graduation and a horseback ride I will NEVER forget. It wasn't like the brochure! And now my readers will not forget it either. The biggest difference is that my heroine has a strapping hero to rescue her from floating islands of fresh horse pooh. I didn't.
