Spotlight on 'Flicker of Trust' by Eleanor Bertin

Hello Bookworms!

We are in birthday mode here in the Flores household. My oldest is turning nineteen and it looks like this is going to be the last birthday he's going to celebrate living at home. Watching your children grow up is so bittersweet and this year I have so much to celebrate. Sure, I could wallow in my feelings, but I am instead choosing to look at what I'm gaining rather than what I'm losing. My boys are headed out in the world, and I am nurturing adult relationships with them, and honestly that's pretty cool. I love that I have a front row seat to their journeys and will never take that for granted.

Today I am changing things up and sharing an excerpt from one of the latest additions to The Mosaic Collection! I hope you enjoy this slight change of pace and, as always, don't forget to scroll to the bottom and enter the amazing giveaway from JustRead Tours!!

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Flicker of Trust by Eleanor Bertin, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Series: Burning Bright #2
Author: Eleanor Bertin
Publisher: Leaf & Blade Publishing
Release Date: February 21, 2024
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

When a woman disappears, Ryan’s past is fair game.

Party animal Ryan Hainstock has made an about-face. He’s now an elder-caring, money-saving, church-going man with bright plans to set himself up farming. Somehow, whether he rates with her or not, those plans always include sweet and smart Lynnie Min and her young daughter. Problem is, Ryan’s past keeps coming back to condemn him.

Lynnie Min, too young for the title of widow, travels the lonely road of single motherhood in a rural community. Her dreams were crushed by tragedy when terrorists claimed the lives of her husband and one of her daughters. While gratitude should fill her heart for the presence of three-year-old Anya, a longing for something more stirs within her. She can’t help noticing the changes in Ryan, a man she once knew as a high school jock.

While their affection deepens, greater forces conspire to destroy their growing love. A murder charge, a kidnapping, a child abandoned…Can Ryan and Lynnie overcome danger and distrust to find each other again?

Excerpt

In scraps of hidden moments throughout the day and in sleepless hours of the night, Lynnie grew more aware all the time that she was alone. Yet a need overshadowed her joy. She couldn’t deny it. More and more often these days, it sprang up in her. She wanted someone to share her pride in her daughter’s growing accomplishments, someone to exult with over Anya’s flourishing sense of security after being missing for a year, someone to enjoy her blossoming personality as much as Lynnie did.

She shrank back from the familiar door marked Grief and stiffened her resolve to live in the moment. Holding out her hand to Anya, she pulled her to a stand, and they strolled on toward their round cabin on the edge of the pond.
