Sunday Spotlight – Amber Stokes' “Bleeding Heart” Romance Debut

 


 
Five bleeding hearts.
 
One profound journey.

 

Four Men Want Her! 

One wants to own her at all costs!




One wants to save her at all costs!
One rejected her at great costs!
One loves her whatever the costs!
 
Here’s a romance with striking originality by a young and talented author.

Summer 1886
Sally Clay’s livelihood has been snatched away, but in its place arises an opportunity to escape from her sordid past and an unrelenting, unwanted suitor. Boarding a train with a heartsick rancher and an enigmatic miner, she leaves Virginia City behind and heads to Northern California, waiting for the chance to make right what went wrong three long years before.

But the road to revenge is far from smooth. Sally soon learns that the jagged pieces of a broken heart can far too easily wound the hearts of others – and hers isn’t the only heart that’s broken. Tragedy and fear dog her steps as she flees from the redwood forests to the high desert and back again. Will her bleeding heart ever find a way and a place to heal?

A desperate soiled dove. Three men who come to care for her. One man determined to claim her.

All on a journey that will show them what true love really involves.

  6. Hi Amber:

    Is the Rafflecopter working? I don't know how to use it; however, I did figure out how to insert HTML into my body copy. I did that this morning. I hope all is going well. I also hope anyone who comes here can use the Rafflecopter. :)

    1. This is actually the Rafflecopter form from the cover reveal, but it's totally fine! As long as readers have the link to the blog tour page, they can enter the giveaway there or on the other scheduled posts. :) If you did want to switch out the HTML codes, though, you can find the current code here:

  7. Vince, I love the tag lines for Amber's romance. Four men want her..... You can so tell you were in marketing. What a talent. ANd didn't Amber do a great job with her first novel? I love that it isn't formulaic. It is different and that's what makes it so fun to read.

    1. Isn't Vince great? Love these taglines he comes up, and I appreciate his (and your!) support. :)

      I'm so glad you're enjoying Bleeding Heart! I've been so blessed by the response so far, knowing that it is kind of a risky/non-formulaic story.
