Obviously at least one person in this book is lonely – The Lonely
Rancher. But aren’t all people lonely to some extent, and doesn’t it drive our
lives in some direction?
Jackson King is widowed. When his wife dies in childbirth,
leaving him with four sons to raise, he doesn’t feel lonely. Quite the
opposite. Being in a loveless marriage was where he felt loneliest. Now he’s
just relieved to be out from under that emotional burden. Over the next years, his
life is full and it isn’t until after his sons are grown that he’s gets hit with
heartbreak and loneliness again.
Ellena Gordon is also widowed. She had a long marriage,
but her husband’s stroke and subsequent death threw her into a tailspin on many levels. She had to rebuild – financially and emotionally. It was three girlfriends who
saved her from rock bottom loneliness over the next few years.
Her work and friends seem enough for a long time. Until she truly falls in love again and loses that new love, she doesn't really have to deal with loneliness again. Then nothing in her life seems to fill the
hole in her heart.
How the two move through loss to find each other again is
what this love story is about.
Word count as I lead into the last third of the romance
novel is 52,997. I’m hoping to hit 60,00 over the weekend. We’ll see if my
characters behave and get me there!
