According to Madelyn

Dr. Lincoln Montgomery is a man who has lost everything but longs to find a connection to someone who he can share his life with, but he fears he will never find the love again that he lost.

The hero of my recently completed novel, The Infertile Heart, has finally found the woman who can complete him, but will their past prevent them from having a future. Set in Atlanta, GA, this character driven story is a 112,257-word contemporary romance. Adventuresome and sensual, the book weaves a story of love and loss, lies and truth, and the story of two people learning to love again even though the trials and tribulations they face will stack the cards against them.

An overachiever, Dr. Lincoln Montgomery is a Noble Prize winning billionaire who has spent his life giving others what he could not give to others. Losing his brother to cystic fibrosis he was driven to find a cure for the gene mutation that took his life. Even given his success, he could not prevent the death of his wife and unborn child to a drunk driver and spent the last three years mourning their passing and trying to find a way back. A chance meeting plunges Lincoln back into the dating pool with the one woman he thinks could fertilize his infertile heart.

Dr. Nicole Harris is a physical therapist who has struggled with the decisions she made as a teenager. Drugged and raped by her date at 14, Nicole ended up pregnant and gave her child up for adoption in order to ensure that she would have a good life. Finding the perfect family that would keep Nicole abreast of Aubrey’s developments was fear number one priority. Having given up on love and finding someone who would appreciate her for the woman that she was, Nicole had grown to be. Feeding her love of golf and football, Nicole meets Dr. Lincoln Montgomery. Could Lincoln be the one to fertilize her long dormant infertile heart.

My latest release includes two Christmas romances! Enjoy the sparks which fly as the two couples discover love.






A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS


Laird Malcolm Sutherland needs a bride. He has few requirements of his new wife; demands he should have insisted with his former betrothed—namely, honesty, loyalty, and resources.

Lady Rossalyn Gordon will do anything to be rid of her tyrant father, even if that means deceiving the man who offers her an escape. If revealed, those secrets will either bring her mercy, or thrust her back into the hands of the devil who sired her.

When Rossalyn’s bastard of a father arrives at Sutherland Keep, going back on his word and ordering her return, Malcolm must decide if he can forgive his wife enough to listen to his heart and have a family for Christmas.


HIS BY CHRISTMAS

Fiona Sutherland longs for love with the man she has pined after since she was a lass. When he weds another she is devastated, and questions why the man she pledged her heart to has forsaken a vow made in their youth. Could loving her be so hard?

Cameron Munro adores Fiona from afar, knowing her heart has been set on another. She is everything he desires—strong, loyal, and fiery in spirit.

Determined, he pledges to prove his love to her and win Fiona’s heart by Christmas.

The Right Treats
We can all benefit by finding the right treat or combination of treats that serve as "comfort food" for our brains. It is important, however, not to fall into the trap of selecting pleasures that come at a cost. For example, an hour of retail therapy may lift our moods, but over-spending will strain our finances. Eating that ice-cream cone or extra piece of cheesecake may calm jittery nerves and add pounds. Consider the following treats that do not involve too much time, money, or energy:

Cinema Therapy
Plan for at least one movie a week. In her book, Reel Fulfillment: A 12-Step Plan for Transforming Your Life Through Movies , psychologist Maria Grace says, "We've found certain films can work for patients as well as prescription drugs." For example, a romantic movie (Casablanca, Shakespeare in Love, Sleepless in Seattle) raises levels of progesterone by ten percent. This calming hormone can reduce anxiety and boost well-being. Watching funny movies (Legally Blonde, Mrs. Doubtfire, What about Bob?) can alleviate tension by 61 percent and slash a blue mood by 98 percent. To boost family happiness and reduce overall stress, watch The Wizard of Oz, Shrek, Alvin & the Chipmunks or Finding Nemo. Many of these movies can be found at the local library.

Creative Solutions
If you are musical, schedule two to three practice sessions per week on your instrument. Foodies could read that new recipe during one of their quick fixes and then spend time preparing it for a special weekend meal. Crafty people can start small knitting, quilting, or other projects that can be completed in less than three months' time. While on the computer, create and send e-mail cards to friends and relatives. Don't wait for a special occasion. Send "Just Because" cards and give someone else a special treat.

Quick Fixes
Carefully examine your daily routine and carve out small pockets of time. All you need is 20 minutes to soak in a bubble bath, read the first chapter in a book that has been sitting on your night stand, flip through your favorite glossy magazine, get out the yoga mat and do sun salutations, or plan your next holiday on expedia.com. If you can only find a five-minute break, light a scented candle, brew a cup of herbal tea, or rock in a rocking chair.

Blurb

Hours before the opening of her career counseling practice, Gilda Greco discovers the dead body of golden girl Carrie Ann Godfrey, neatly arranged in the dumpster outside her office. Gilda’s life and budding career are stalled as Detective Carlo Fantin, her former high school crush, conducts the investigation. When three more dead blondes turn up all brutally strangled and deposited near Gilda’s favorite haunts, she is pegged as a prime suspect for the murders. Frustrated by Carlo’s chilly detective persona and the mean girl antics of Carrie Ann’s meddling relatives, Gilda decides to launch her own investigation. She discovers a gaggle of suspects, among them a yoga instructor in need of anger management training, a lecherous photographer, and fourteen ex-boyfriends.
As the puzzle pieces fall into place, shocking revelations emerge, forcing Gilda to confront the envy and deceit she has long overlooked.
