Praise for
Marie Ferrarella
MAC’S BEDSIDE MANNER
“…the saucy quips will draw a laugh, and the chemistry will make you
shiver. Marie Ferrarella does it again!”
—Romantic Times
IN GRAYWOLF’S HANDS
“Great romance, excellent plot, grabs you from page one.”
—Affaire de Coeur
A HUSBAND WAITING TO HAPPEN
“Ms. Ferrarella warms our hearts with her charming characters and
delicious interplay.”
—Romantic Times
A MATCH FOR MORGAN
“Ms. Ferrarella creates fiery, strong-willed characters, an intense conflict
and an absorbing premise no reader could possibly resist.”
—Romantic Times
IN THE FAMILY WAY
“Once again Ms. Ferrarella demonstrates a mastery of the storytelling art as
she creates charming characters, witty dialogue and an emotional storyline that
will tug at your heartstrings.”
—Romantic Times
ONCE A FATHER
“…the pleasure of this journey is in the getting there. Reading about warm,
caring people and watching relationships mature under stessful situations is a
pleasurable way to spend an afternoon. As usual, Ferrarella’s dialogue is in
voice, crisp, and moves the story along without ever bogging down in the
emotional angst each brings to the relationship. Once a Father is a hearty
recommend for a skilled writer.”
—The Romance Reader
Dear Reader,
Welcome to my newest series and the newest family that has captured my
heart. The Cavanaughs are everything we would love families to be: supportive,
loyal, noble in a human way, teasingly loving and, as an added bonus, each
better looking than the last.
Patrick Cavanaugh is an offshoot of the main branch, a Cavanaugh cousin
who has benefited from his association with the family patriarch and former
police chief, Andrew. Patrick has his dark secrets, but his past has never gotten
in the way of his being an honest cop. However, even the most honorable of
people can be held suspect when it’s guilt by association, and Patrick’s former
partner was found to have dirty hands. It’s up to Maggi McKenna, posing as his
new partner, to prove Patrick guilty or innocent, not an easy task when the
subject is a loner who is basically noncommunicative. The task gets even more
difficult when Maggi finds herself becoming more and more attracted to him.
I hope you find these two as interesting as I did and that you’ll come back
for a prolonged visit with each of the Cavanaughs as they tell their own story. As
always, thank you for reading, and I wish you love.
