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.

Title: 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.
