While I write romance novels, I find that I love good friendships as much as I adore true love. When the hero and heroine are best friends, that's even better. My current release, The Soldier's Love, fits this bill perfectly.
There's something about the care, humor and truth in a solid, lasting friendship. They are hard to come by and hard to discern. What makes a good friend?
You think you know, then drama ensues, and you discover you were wrong. The playground and sleepovers can teach you so much. And...so can books.
Frank and Jane are the main characters in The Soldier's Love, and they are best friends. They also love each other, but her dreams and his stubborn pride pull them apart. When they find each other again, it is not easy. They fight more than I would have liked them to, but Frank turned out to be really, really stubborn. I didn't see that coming. But he comes by it honestly, because in my fourth book, The Miller Brides, we learn how hard-nosed his mother was.
I enjoyed writing this book and delving into Jane and Frank's friendship. They definitely have a tough go of it. Does love prevail? Hmmm.....
You'll have to read it to find out!
