~ Synopsis ~
Bree MacLane loved designing clothes. It was far more
rewarding than farming. Through her sister-in-law, Cassie, Bree caught the eye
of the famed designer, Ethan Alexander, at the age of seventeen. Cassie had the
connections, but Bree’s raw talent paved the way to a life away from Blossom
Grove. Los Angeles called, and nothing could keep Bree tied to her tiny
hometown. Not even Gavin Baker, or the mistake they made one summer night. Burying that night allowed her to move on,
but losing Gavin hurt her more than she realized.
Gavin Baker lusted over Bree MacLane for longer than he
cared to admit. Their five-year age gap prevented him from acting on those
feelings – until she turned eighteen and told him she wanted him too. One night
with her, and he was ready to make it forever. He had plans to lay down roots
with Bree, only what Gavin had to offer wasn't enough for her. Loving Bree from
afar became a way of life for him again because living without her wasn’t an
option.
Five years after leaving Blossom Grove, a family emergency
brings Bree home. Unprepared for a baby mama and an unexpected death she heads
into a downward spiral. Forced to face the painful secret from her past, Bree
realizes she may have lost the future that she didn’t know she wanted. But the four
meddling MacLane wives and a few therapy horses help Gavin prove to Bree they still have a future. They show her that there’s more
to Gavin, to herself, and to Blossom Grove, than she ever realized. Sometimes,
the desires of your heart steer you away from true happiness, but the right
person will lead you back.

~ Author Bio ~
R.J. Van Cleave grew up in a small town near San Diego, CA,
where she still lives today. She loved science as a child and had planned on
becoming a doctor. However, she realized she wanted to be a mother more, and
switched to working in the Biotech industry. One daughter was eventually joined
by fraternal twin sisters (a surprise), and R.J.’s life was complete. In 2011,
her mom died from undiagnosed cancer and R.J.’s world was turned upside down.
In an attempt to honor her mother’s life, R.J. got a few tattoos and schlepped
through a few half marathons. Needles and strenuous exercise were two real
fears for R.J., but her greatest fear was actually putting a story in her head
down on paper. In June of 2013, R.J. finally conquered that fear when she sat
down and wrote Demons, which she self-published on February 14, 2014. The MacLane
Family series was born and R.J.’s career as a writer was too.
