Author Barbara Samuel stopped by to give us some info on her contribution to the Once Upon a Wedding anthology, out June 11th. I LOVE second chance romance and can't wait to read this.

And I guess Drew Danforth is the sun. “Are you okay?” he asks again, enunciating his words even more as if me understanding him is the problem. His Continue Reading
