NOVEMBER, 2018 LOVE ON THE RUN By: Barbara Donlon Bradley The Plot: Everyone believes that Beth Boudreaux needs to get away. Her kidnapping by Beau Manning has her jumping at shadows, and friends and family hope a change of scenery will help her move on. So when a tele- gram arrives from a sick aunt, they urge her to visit. Andrew Leroux can’t believe that Beau Manning has escaped. Now he has to warn everyone involved in his capture, which includes the lovely Miss Elizabeth Boudreaux. When he learns she has headed to her sick aunt, he knows he has to go leave her. Catching up to her is easy. Convincing her to go home isn’t. The headstrong Miss Boudreaux refuses and only leaves him one option: kidnap her. It doesn’t take him long to realize that the safest place for Beth is with Andrew. Now he has to keep her from escaping, protect her from Beau, and maybe make her fall in love with him. An Excerpt Beth sat on a large rock next to the babbling brook, resting her back against a large oak tree. Just as he stepped up to her, the sun dipped below the trees, bathing her in a golden light. His heart stopped for just a second as he gazed at her. This was an image he would carry with him for the rest of his life. Light kissed her soft features, caressing her flawless face the way he wanted to. The sun dipped lower, the hue turning to a deeper golden, then orange, before red highlighted her lips and her hair. He took one step toward her, knowing if he wasn’t careful, he’d forget all about protecting her. In fact, she just might need to be protected from him. Andrew had just leaned down to take her hand again when he heard a solid thunk against the tree. Not worrying about Beth’s feelings at the moment, he grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the grass, rolling so she was under him. ―What in the blue blazes are you doing?‖ she shrieked as she struggled to get up. ―Keeping you from getting shot.‖ Reviews Welcome.

As time went on she found the passion for writing to be a strong drive for her. Humor is also very strong in her life. No matter how hard she tries to write something deep and dark, it will never happen. That humor bleeds into her writing. Since she can't beat it, she has learned to use it to her advantage. Now she lives in Tidewater, Virginia, with two cats, her mom, and her husband and son. 21 03
