Giving Away Five Copies of Mackinac Island Novel
Love Finds You in Mackinac Island, Michigan releases today. This novel was an absolute delight for me to write, and to celebrate the release, I'll be giving away five copies of the book on July 18. To enter the drawing, please leave a brief comment below with your email address. I will email the winners on July 19.
Below is more info about this story, set in 1894 on Mackinac Island. Thanks for celebrating with me!
As the Gilded Age comes to a close, Elena Bissette’s
once-wealthy family has nearly lost its fortune. The Bissettes still own a home
on fashionable Mackinac Island, where they will spend one last summer in the
hope of introducing Elena to a wealthy suitor. But Elena is repulsed by the
idea of marrying for money.
Quickly tiring of the extravagant balls, Elena spends
most evenings escaping back into Mackinac’s rugged forest. There she meets
Chase, a handsome laborer who shares her love for the night sky. The two begin
to meet in secret at an abandoned lighthouse, where they work together to solve
a mystery buried in the pages of a tattered diary.
As Elena falls in love with Chase, her mother relentlessly
contrives to introduce her to Chester Darrington, the island’s most eligible
bachelor. Marriage to the elusive millionaire would solve the Bissettes’
financial woes, and Elena is torn between duty and love.

You know how much I love your novels! And I think this one looks absolutely gorgeous! I just recently finished Cara Putman's novel set in Mackinac, so to return would be delightful. :)

Oh, I've always wanted to visit Mackinac Island ever since I saw that movie "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Kind of hookie, but the scenery was splendid!
The cover of this book is lovely. Mackinac Island seems like such a romantic place; I've always wanted to visit. I'd be very pleased to win a copy of your new book. Thanks for having the giveaway.

I adore ALL of the LFY books, and I've got a couple proposals in to Rachel for consideration. We've been trying to nail down one that clicks for 3 years now. Mackinac Island is the setting of one of my books, and I used it in a series I wrote in 2009. Adore the island...LOVE your cover. Would love to win this novel and revisit the island during the Gilded Age.
Whoops! Just in case... tiff{at}amberstockton{dot}com
