Please welcome back Romance Gem author Nancy Fraser with her newest release, NEVER ENOUGH!
But before we get to that, let's find out a little more about Nancy...
What is something you struggle with when you write?
Time management and the tendency to over-extend myself and
take on too much. I always manage to make the deadline but it can get
annoyingly close and leave me with a bad need for a nap, or more coffee.
How do you balance the demands of your everyday life and
your writing life?
My everyday life is my writing life. Fortunately, pretty
much everyone who knows me accepts the fact that I’m an introvert and would
prefer to stay home. Of course, every once in awhile I break out and go crazy.
Where do you live? Where would you love to live?
I live in Oromocto, New Brunswick Canada, about 40 minutes
north of the Maine border. If I could live anywhere (other than here), it would
likely be in Las Vegas. Of course, I’d need a lot of money for that ... but a
girl can dream.
Share with us a little about your family. Married? Kids?
Pets?
I’ve now officially been divorced longer than I was married
and that’s saying a lot since I’ve still got the silver tea service I received
for my 25th anniversary. I have two “really” grown sons, two
beautiful daughters-in-law, and five wonderful grandchildren. I don’t have pets
of my own but I do have seven grandpets—one dog, two cats, and four adorable
guinea pigs.
Just for fun, when trick-or-treating as a kid, was there any kind of candy that you didn’t like to get?
Anything black-licorice-flavored, whether it was actual
licorice or jelly beans. Nope. Not for me.
Name your favorite children's story.
Love You Forever by Robert Munsch
What is your concept of a fruitful day?
5,000 or more words written; promotional work done before
noon; and that I remember to eat.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Tardiness for no reason other than laziness or inattention.
Unfortunately, I have a family full of late-runners. The only one I can truly
count on being on time is my youngest grandson. Unfortunately, he’s only 8 so
he can’t drive ... which means he’s going to be late because of dad.
What are your three favorite smells?
Freshly brewed coffee, fresh lemon, and cookies right out of
the oven.

When Amanda Thorne arrives on San Bella Island, she’s tired and in bad need of a vacation. She’s just finished paying off her late husband’s many debts by selling their home and belongings. On her way to Dallas for a new job in a medical research lab, she’s taking one week to recoup before beginning her new life.
Nicholas Holloway is recovering from a 2-year stint undercover for the U.S. Marshal Service. Ordered to take a vacation to clear his head, he ends up on San Bella at the same time.
Will these two battle-scared souls find peace in the other’s arms? And, will they be able to walk away at the end of their one-week fling?
Caution: This book contains love scenes and language some may find offensive. Or hot!
Excerpt~
Montauk, Long Island
Saturday Morning
Amanda Thorne turned full circle in the three-story entryway, her sensible two-inch heels clicking against the expensive slate flooring. Sparing one last, longing glance at the great room to her right, she engaged the alarm, closed the door behind her, and dropped her keys in the realtor’s lockbox.
The past eight years of her life—the last vestige of her inheritance—gone.
Right on time, the taxi pulled into the long, winding driveway, stopping just inches from where she waited. The driver, a short, stocky man who reminded her of her maternal grandfather, took her single suitcase and placed it in the trunk.
“Where to, Miss?” he asked.
“LaGuardia, please. Domestic terminal.”
He held the door open and waited for her to settle into the seat before slipping behind the steering wheel and shifting his weight to get comfy.
“Going to visit family?” he asked, casually starting up a conversation.
“No,” she said softly. “I’m relocating.”
He shot her a quick glance over his shoulder before pulling the car into gear and starting out across the inlaid brick drive. “You’re moving away from Long Island?”
His question sent a sharp pain through her chest. After all, who in their right mind would leave Long Island, especially the beautiful area of Montauk?
It’s not like you had a choice, now did you?
Amanda bit back an angry curse, willing her conscience back into its allotted corner of her mind. Suddenly remembering the man’s question, she told him, “I’m taking a job out of state. As much as I’ll miss parts of New York, I won’t miss the winters.”
“Ah,” he said, chuckling. “You’re relocating somewhere warm.” He paused, then asked, “Were those your three moving vans I passed on the way from the highway?”
Three vans? Not hardly.
The single small load truck she’d hired had held everything she owned, save for what she’d packed for her trip. So, if there was a caravan of trucks, it wasn’t hers.
“No, not mine,” she acknowledged finally.
He turned the taxi onto the highway leading to the airport. “Good luck to you, wherever you’re headed.”
“Thank you.”
Sliding her fingertips over the screen of her cell, Amanda pulled up her reservation-- the short vacation a gift from the real estate agent who’d benefited greatly from the sale of her home.
Diamond Key Resort, San Bella Island. An island paradise, or so the brochure claimed. All she wanted was time to recoup, a handful of days to reset her emotional clock and prepare herself for her new life.
A week alone... away from the cloying pity of her so-called friends and family.
