99¢ Sale Wing & a Prayer Ends 10/31!
If you haven’t read Gabe’s story yet and met the man who stands up to her (other than her father, Patrick O’Connor), get ready to meet Alex Kincaid, a hubba-hubba hero who has Gabe’s number right out the gate since she clocked his younger brother in grade school. Yep, Gabe broke Victor Kincaid’s jaw in Book 3 of The Winds of Change series, A Love Surrendered, which gives our hero BIG trust issues and understandably so!
So, if you want to catch up with the O’Connors AND read a WW2 novel that Sarah Sundin called “a fun and wild ride,” this is the best time to do it because it won’t be on sale for 99¢ for long.
AND if you have read it and posted a brief review on Amazon, please let me know via my website at CONTACT JULIE so I can personally thank you, okay?
