A Home in Cranberry Cove by June Foster

A Home in Cranberry Cove, book 4 in the Cranberry Cove series, arrived on the market Tuesday, June 21, on my grandson’s birthday. Since the story is a romantic suspense, I figured Julie’s readers might enjoy an excerpt from the book—Micah and Madison’s first kiss. Micah is a doctor who lost his wife to cancer several years before. Madison hesitates as Micah leans in to kiss her. She remembers Ellen, the woman in Micah’s life before her. Hope you love the kiss like my characters did.

He leaned nearer, only inches from her. “Do I have permission … ” he whispered.

“Um, hum.” Madison lifted her face and slipped her arms around Micah. What more could she ask for?

He placed his lips on hers, causing Madison to forget that anything or anyone existed besides the two of them. Then an uncomfortable notion struck, and she moved away. “Are you ready, Micah? Ready for this? I mean, what about Ellen?”

Micah rubbed his forehead. “Ellen is enjoying eternity. There’s nothing I can do to change the loss of my wife. She would want me to find someone else.” He bent to kiss her nose. “I loved her dearly, but I need to move on.” He held out his left ring finger. “For a long while after her death, I wore my wedding ring. A few months before I met you, I’d taken the band off. For me, the act symbolized the end of my marriage.”

“I understand.” Madison stood on tiptoes and slipped her arms around him again. “I’m grateful you want to move in my direction.” She lifted her lips to kiss his, this time with no interruptions.

Micah tightened his arms around her waist, his lips moving more passionately on hers. Then he stepped back and raked his hand through his hair. “I need to back off. I don’t want to get too … er … enthusiastic about kissing you. I might find myself in trouble.”

She ran her hand down his cheek and laughed. “I’ve adopted new standards I never had before—thanks to you.”

“I think when the Lord comes into a person’s life, that person is changed by the Holy Spirit.”

I hope you enjoy the story. If you haven’t read any in the series, I recommend you start with the first book, The Inn at Cranberry Cove, which won first place in romantic suspense in the 2021 Selah awards. https://amzn.to/3sMMLVb
