| "Hudsons Crossing" Harlequin/Kimani March 2009 Asher Hudson and Riley Stamper treasured their relationship even the unorthodox nature of their two year marriage. With Asher overseeing his multibillion dollar sports agency in Arizona and Riley producing her own column for a New York paper, the couple enjoyed few moments together in the same space. When Riley discovers she’s about to have a child, the rules become blurred. The unorthodox relationship the Hudsons treasured becomes a hindrance. While both felt the reality of it should be corrected, neither was willing to make the sacrifice. It was more than just a question of relocating. For Riley, it was a matter of fear. Fear for her future and for that of her child. She knew Asher loved her beyond reason-her feelings were the same for him. But scars from the past; a father who left resulting in a hard upbringing, played their part. The fact that Riley had a strong mother also played its role. Riley knew she wanted to be prepared if that sort of circumstance should ever befall her. But to be prepared, she needed security and her career in New York provided just that. Asher carried his own scars from the past as well. Haunting memories of a convenience store robbery were reclaiming their place at the forefront of his mind. The incident was about far more than a criminal wanting money. Asher had been touted a hero but there was more to the story. When he learns of Riley’s pregnancy, the fears he’d spent years trying to tamp down-to hide from- will not be silenced. Asher and Riley realize they must do what’s best for their child. The question is can they triumph over the ghosts of their pasts to make that happen? |
