This is from th Lassoing a Mail-Order Bride western romance anthology. My story is "A Permanent Woman".

When he stroked her cheek, it was all she could do to keep from pressing his hand to her face, then he dropped his arm to his side, leaving a cold, hollow emptiness gripping her heart.

This sentence is from my latest release, THE TROUBLE WITH DYING--a suspenseful chick lit read. The heroine has woken up to find she is looking down on her body in a coma.

From my work in progress, Encouraging Prudence, set in 1807. The heroine has just been arrested for murder.

"The gray walls of Newgate shadowed the street, and the stench of human despair reached out, so strong that Prue imagined it had a bodily presence that would drag her through the felons' door and into the prison."
