Three independent novels with recurring characters. One laugh-evoking, tear-inducing, thought-provoking series.
A lover of romance novels since the age of ten (don't tell her mom!), Margaret Locke declared as a teen she'd write them when she was older. Once an adult, however, she figured she ought to be doing grownup things, not penning love stories. Thank goodness turning forty cured her of that silly notion. Margaret is now happily ensconced back in the clutches of her first crush, this time as an author as well as a reader. Because love matters.
Margaret lives in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia with her fantastic husband, two fabulous kids, and three fat cats. You can usually find her in front of some sort of screen (electronic or window); she's come to terms with the fact she's not an outdoors person.
