Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for
stopping by Keta's Keep today.
I have a new release
to show off and thank you so much in advance for reading about it.
SKY DREAMS is Book 3 in my historical romance
Sky Series set in Minnesota. The first two books, Sky Tinted Water, Book 1 and
Sky Dance, Book 2 feature Dawson and Rory Finch (resident hero and heroine).
Both books have an element of suspense and a
Native American slant. The 1862 Dakota Uprising took place and was a
very turbulent time for many of the small communities in southern Minnesota.
And we can't forget about the Civil War (Minnesota fought for the North) so
that made for an exciting, if not a bit dangerous time, for Rory and Dawson.
In Sky
Dreams, Book 3, their daughter, Haven Finch Morgan is featured. You can
read more about her plight in the blurb below. I've supplied plenty of angst
for our heroine while she navigates through widowhood and struggles to find
love again.
But isn't that what
romance is all about?
About
Sky Dreams, Book 3
A sweet historical
romance
Keta Diablo
In
Sky Tinted Water (Book 1) and Sky Dance (Book 2) you met Dawson and Rory Finch
and shared in the journey of their love. Now, in Sky Dreams (Book 3), meet
their daughter, Haven.
In
1893, Haven Morgan is a young widow. Heartbroken and alone after her husband's
tragic death, she travels to Cobb's Grove, Minnesota to teach at the country
school.
Her
curiosity is piqued when she meets the handsome supervisor of the local lumber
mill, Cade Kincannon, but the trauma of her husband's death haunts her days and
torments her dreams.
Can
Cade break through the veil of darkness shrouding Haven, forge a path to her
heart and convince her it's all right to love again?
Setup
and Excerpt: Haven
relives her husband's death while riding the train to teach school at Cobb's
Grove, Minnesota.
Haven's heart raced,
beads of perspiration erupted on her brow. Bile choked her throat when her mind
returned to the nightmarish images seconds later.
The severed, crumpled
bodies appeared in a rush. Blood, so much blood against the stark white
landscape. Shep had been tossed a rod from her husband's body and stomped to
death, his lifeless form flat as a fence board. Sprawled out on his side,
crimson streams had arced and pumped from deep gashes in Champion's withers and
belly. A pinkish-foam oozed from the horse's nostrils, the once beautiful brown
eyes now closed in death. Underneath Champion's still form lay her beloved
Mathias, his feet still hooked into the stirrups.
She'd clutched her
hand to her throat, dismounted in one swift movement and trudged through drifts
up to her calves. Dropping to her knees, she'd tried in vain to pull his
lifeless form out from under the horse. And then she saw his face. The earth
spun out of control. The brown eyes that had gazed at her with so much longing
and tenderness that morning were open, like his mouth. His chest was still, his
skin pale gray, as if all the blood had been siphoned from his beautiful face.
A long time later,
exhausted from crying out her anguish, she turned a ravaged face to the sky and
cursed God. Swore she'd never put her faith in him again, questioned his
all-encompassing compassion. How could a loving God allow this to happen to
Mathias…to her?
The unmistakable
grunting and pawing of a large beast drew her from her misery. Without looking
at her nemesis, she pulled her husband's rifle from the scabbard and rose to
her feet on that icy battleground. With tear-stained face, her body racked by
sobs, she faced the culprit of her agony. A wreath of white snow encircled his
massive head as he pawed and stomped at the ground, intent on destroying yet
another human who dared enter his territory.
She took aim and
emptied the rifle into the monster that had crushed her world, and then she
mounted Bluebelle and headed for home in a fog of despair.
