LINDA JOYCE CELEBRATES HER BOOK RELEASE
HER HEART'S DESIRE
Her Heart’s Desire, Book one of the
Sunflower Series
By Linda
Joyce
I was told,
shortly after moving to the Kansas City area, the Midwest is the Heartland of
the United States, and if someone is looking to find love, to truly get in
touch with their heart, it was the place to be. And I agree.
Though I’m a
southern girl, one who needs magnolia trees and Spanish moss, grits with eggs,
and to hear “Yes, Ma’am” with a drawl, (not to mention men who hold doors open
because they were raised to be southern gentlemen), there’s an allure to the
Midwest that is undeniable. While I can’t handle the winters of seven below
zero before wind chill, the rest of year offers festivals, hot air balloon
shows, trout fishing, and the list goes on.
All of Kansas
isn’t flat like the Kansas of Dorothy and Toto. The Emerald City, I believe, is
Kansas City, Missouri, rising high on a hill up from the Missouri River banks.
For me, the
winged monkeys were the burdens I carried, and while living in Kansas, those
monkeys flew away. Undoubtable, my time in Kansas City restored my heart and
filled it with friendships I treasured.
I hope you
will enjoy meeting Amelia and Lucas. They truly represent the tenacity,
generosity, and dedication to family and friends that I experienced during my
twelve years out of the south.
Blurb:
Artist Amelia
Britton battles her older brother for the right to remain on the family
farm—their inheritance after their parents’ tragic deaths—she faces a looming
mortgage, weather threatens to destroy her crops, and the man she secretly
loves only sees her as Craig’s little sister.
After serving
his country in Afghanistan, Lucas Dwyer expected to return home to his family’s
farm, but the bank foreclosed. Undeterred, he begins combining-for-hire to
support his younger sister in college. His best friend convinces him to
discourage local guys from dating Amelia. Craig wants her back in the city,
farming is too hard for a woman alone. Only one problem—Lucas has fallen in
love with Amelia.
With family,
the bank, and the weather conspiring against them, can Amelia and Lucas ever
hope to grow the love blooming between them?
Tagline: An artist and a farmer fight
family, the bank, and Mother Nature…to grow love.
Bio: Linda Joyce is an
award-winning author of women’s fiction and romance. She writes about assertive
females and the men who can’t resist them. Linda’s a big fan of jazz and blues.
She attributes her love of those musical genres to her southern roots, which
run deep in Louisiana. If you walk-through several New Orleans cemeteries
you’ll find many of her family buried there. She penned her first manuscript
while living in Japan, the country where her mother was born and raised. Now
she lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and four-legged boys. She’s also
a foodie and loves to go RVing.
