Welcome to the Blog Tour for Eight at the Lake by Lin Stepp, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Eight at the Lake
Series: Mountain Home
Author: Lin Stepp
Publisher: Mountain Hill Press
Release Date: April 1, 2022
Genre: Clean Contemporary Romance
Set in the charming historic town of Dandridge, Tennessee, on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, Lin Stepp’s sweet and touching story follows the unlikely romantic attraction between two characters with nothing in common but an undeniable zing.
Samantha King, a nationally known storm chaser with Weather First, is covering a hurricane hitting the Florida Panhandle when a sign slams into her, tossing her over a wall and into the pounding surf. Accidents demand recovery and Samantha reluctantly heads to her Aunt Dixie’s in Dandridge, Tennessee, for a needed rest. The only plus, besides time with Dixie, is sharing time with her sister Andrea’s children, taken in years ago by Ford and Laura McDaniel when Andrea and her husband were killed. Samantha has spent little time with the children over the years, due to her demanding work schedule, but she is purposed to get to know the children better while in Dandridge.
Ford McDaniel, with a busy veterinary practice and part ownership in his family’s lakeside resort, often wonders how in the world he ended up with eight children on his own. Yes, he and Laura agreed, as godparents to their best friends, Andrea and Adam Bradley, that if anything ever happened to them they’d raise their kids, but who imagined that scenario would ever occur? Still, he and Laura seemed to manage okay until Laura died, shattering his world and leaving him with eight small children to raise on his own. Now Andrea’s celebrated sister Samantha is in town for a while and it’s hard for Ford not to resent her carefree life—or to ignore his attraction to her, a relationship he clearly knows can only go nowhere.
“This is Samantha King with Weather First at Mexico Beach, Florida, where Hurricane Michael is moving in to make landfall,” she said, raising her voice to be heard above the wind. “The storm has now become a dangerous Category 5 hurricane, stronger than initially expected, and this small coastal town is battling for its life as this powerful storm moves in.” … A telephone pole crashed to the ground to her right and Samantha turned to describe the scene … As she shifted back to face her camera crew, a loose street sign, flying wildly in the wind, slammed into her left side, tearing into her arm and leg, and smacking her off the sea wall. She flew into the air to fall and hit the rocks and sand below.
Over the sound of the wind, and hardly able to move now, she heard the crew scrambling over the wall, coming for her and calling. She clutched the edge of a rock beside her, trying to hold on until they could reach her.
