THE
EYES OF LOVE
By
Angelina Rose
BLURB:
After a
tragic loss five years ago, Sally Overby becomes an Attorney in Atlanta. She
convinces herself that all she'll ever need again is her young son, David, and
her life as an attorney. Until one day, Colin Dean barges back into her life
and promptly blows her safe world apart, driving her crazy as only a guy she'd
had a "school girl crush" on can.
Sally is
wary to love deeply. Only, with every loving look Colin gives her plus every
sweet kiss, as the attraction between them sparks, she can’t help but wonder if
she’s met the one she should be with. And although Colin didn’t realize his
life was going to change so quickly, amazingly, he isn’t the least bit
interested in fighting that change. Instead, he’s gearing up for a different
fight altogether. The one for Sally’s heart.
Will
Colin be able to convince her that's it safe to love him... and that forever
isn't really out of reach?
The Eyes
of Love is a novella… so you can enjoy it in just one day!
"Hi there. I'm Gracie..."
the waitress said as she put down a napkin and some silverware.
"Gracie. It's me. Sally
Overby," she said grinning.
Gracie stopped in her tracks and
squinted her eyes. "Sally? I can't believe it! You're stunning,
honey!" she said reaching down and hugging her. "What are you doing
in town?"
"Reunion. And to see Momma, of
course."
"I can't get over how beautiful
you are!"
"Thanks."
"You were always a sweetheart of
a person, but now your outside matches your inside."
"That's a nice way to look at
it."
"So, what have you been up
to?"
"Let's see... Became an attorney,
got married, had a son, became a widow..."
"Oh, Sally, I'm so sorry! I remember
that now. Your Momma told me a few years back. You're still single?"
"Yep. But I have a date to the
reunion tomorrow night, so I guess I'm officially back on the dating circuit
now," Sally said giggling.
"Date? Who with?"
"Colin Dean."
Gracie started fanning herself.
"Oh, girl, you scored on that one, huh?"
AUTHOR
INFORMATION:
Angelina Rose
has wanted to write ever since she could hold a pencil. The first daughter of
immigrant parents, Angelina had her head buried in books, lost in a world of
heroes, heroines and exotic places.
It was a shocking experience that jump-started Angelina's author career.
"I awoke in the ICU... I had been unconscious for several days," Angelina says.
In 2010, Angelina had a long stint in hospital following her involvement in a motor vehicle accident: the longest time off work (as a Registered Nurse), she'd ever had in her life!
It was then she took up pen and paper and started to write again, just as she had done when she was a child. She wrote four short fiction stories for young adults, entered them in several competitions, and managed to win three first prizes!
After happily dipping her toes into writing those short fiction stories for young adults, Angelina has now authored four books in a new "Mill Creek Crossing Romance" series... contemporary romance intended for adults.
The "Starting Over Series" is another contemporary romance series she wrote about a subject she knows well... nurses and their love life. At a recent reunion of her graduating class, she could not help but notice how the same girls would group together and laugh, chat, and even shed some tears over their lives since graduating. Many of the girls had divorced... so Angelina thought "what if a group of the nurses came up with a plan to meet in two years and have a new love story to share?" Then the first story in the series was born.

Then the first story in the series was born.
There is always a story running around in her head. A man with thick dark hair, gray-blue eyes, with an engaging smile and a quick wit... or a girl crying over a broken relationship. She finds herself talking to these characters during her day: when she's doing dishes, or bathing babies at the hospital. These characters crop up on days at the beach or on walks through the neighborhood. This is how the stories start to grow.
Angelina's mother was an author, so Angelina grew up with a love of words and stories. If she wasn't writing a short story about something that took her fancy, her head was buried in books... reading, reading, reading, as her brother constantly told her...
When she's not spending time with her goodlooking man, or quality time with her laptop, she's working at the hospital, hanging out with her family and friends, or walking her two dogs around the neighborhood. Angelina spends as much time as she can traveling, then coming home and including some of those adventures in her stories.
Angelina really loves to hear from her readers and she invites you to connect with her on Facebook as she interacts daily with her readers there!

Where do ideas come from?
Lately, my
creative process looks something like this:
An idea
comes to me, sometimes totally out of the blue, or at times my ideas are
inspired by events or people in my life. I usually take a few weeks (but
sometimes longer) to develop the idea, working out the main character’s goals,
motivations and conflicts, the plot, and the main storyline.
I gather a
lot of images for the story. I love to have visual inspiration for both the
characters and the setting. I create an outline for the early chapters and the
ending. As the characters develop I find the mid-chapters often “write
themselves” and, with some characters, I have to be careful they don’t take
over completely.
When I
start writing the first chapters I hope and pray I don’t need to re-write them
too many times! The early chapters are often the challenge for me.
I don’t get
writer’s block as a rule… when I do I take a complete break, maybe even for a
few days. Then I do anything but write.
What helps
me a lot is having a rough idea about what happens in the next scene. I don’t
need to
know the
big picture, just the next scene.
