Cross Your Heart

Jacqueline Emerson is strong, independent, successful. She's transformed herself from an idealistic, young reporter to Managing Editor of a nationally-acclaimed newspaper, and she's not even forty. What she doesn't know about is depending on someone, trusting someone, loving someone. Her love life had been a series of footnotes...until Mallory Cummings entered her life. Now, Jacqueline has wandered into uncharted territory. She's never let anyone this close; and, the thing she fears the most is what she can't live without. Mallory Cummings had given up on the fairytale long ago. After years of placing love first only to end up with heartache and broken promises, she had decided to neatly pack romance away and focus on her career. She relocated and started over. Last summer, her professional dreams were within her grasp, but, when she wasn't looking, she slipped and fell in love. Now, Mallory feels like she might have found her happily ever after. Has she? Have Jacqueline and Mallory found true love? Or, is Mallory Jacqueline's latest footnote? Is Mallory headed for more heartache? CROSS YOUR HEART is a mesmerizing story to which we can all relate. It's the story of what happens when two people see glimpses of the other person after the smoke from the fireworks clears.
