Local romance author Robin Thomas will debut her novel, A Country Heart, at the ALA Annual Show 2016.
Beautiful Citrus, Marion, and Levy counties provide the perfect setting for a story where places and faces seem familiar with every turn of the page. Thomas has taken her love of Florida and her love of writing and combined the two to create a story set in our hometown. She chose Florida and the tri-county area for the setting of her novel because, “it’s the perfect backdrop for romance; the diversity of both landscapes and people, blending natives and “snow birds” into a unique and interesting population – the possibilities are endless!”
A Country Heart is a contemporary romance about Alexandra Declan, who leaves Georgia and her country roots behind, convincing herself she could never love a country boy: There is too much risk that he will turn out to be like her father. She will find a nice man in the city or be alone, but she’ll have nothing to do with a good ol’ boy. Rick Harrington, the son of a wealthy shipping magnate, doesn’t want the unhappy life he sees his parents living and will do whatever it takes to control his own destiny, even walk away from wealth and a life of luxury for the back-breaking work of a cattle ranch. When they meet, they resist the natural attraction, each believing the other is exactly what they need to avoid. It’s not until their secrets are revealed and Alexandra stops denying her country heart that they have a chance to overcome the obstacles that threaten to keep them apart.
A Country Heart is available at Amazon, BN, and Black Rose Writing. Suggested retail price is $15.95.
