Six years ago, Dr. Marla Grant gave into temptation with a gorgeous man. Now the medical director of Lafayette Falls Community Clinic and a single mom to a little girl, Marla finds herself in a dilemma when the funding for the community clinic is threatened by none other than the powerful man of her long-ago fling and unsuspecting father of her child...
Carson Blackwell has never forgotten bright, beautiful Marla. When he discovers that she works at the clinic his grandmother's foundation sponsors, it's the perfect opportunity to end to his ongoing infatuation and use his leverage to cement a new business deal. He needs a fake girlfriend for one week in Hawaii, and Marla is just the woman for the job. It's a win-win situation, until they realize the attraction between them isn't feigned, and the heat has never died down. Only the secrets they're both keeping stand in the way of a future together-and a love that could last a lifetime.

A Love Heals All Romance
THE MAN MOST LIKELY TO DRIVE HER CRAZY…
Growing up in Lafayette Falls, senator’s daughter Natalie Layton hid her sorrows behind a bright smile that charmed everyone in high school—except Brett Harris.

Gaining her grandmother’s goodwill is the key to becoming chief cardiologist—and Natalie has no intention of making it easy. But as mutual mistrust gives way to pure chemistry, there’s more at stake than either ever expected—and much more to learn about matters of the heart…

Interview with PATRICIA PRESTON
Tell us a little about your current project.
Currently I am working on a mainstream contemporary romance series for the Lyrical Shine imprint from Kensington Books. The series title is Love Heals All and each book feature a main character who is a doctor, but these are not medical romances like ER or Grey’s Anatomy. They are fun, feel-good stories that do have their dramatic moments. So far, my favorite is the second book in the series, Everything His Heart Desires, because I enjoyed writing it so much. I’m working on the third book now.
What made you decide to become a writer?
I had a teacher tell me I could be a writer. That planted the seed in my mind and over the years, it took root and grew until here I am!
What do you like most and least about writing?
The thing I like most is the creative part and the surprises that come as a story and characters develop. To me, that’s the most exciting part of the process. What do I like the least? The business side of it.
What advice do you have for beginning writers?
Study the craft but don’t be overwhelmed by the rules. You will also need to come up with a plan to work in writing along with all your other activities. That is the hard part and where I see the majority of writers fail.
Are you a plotter or pantser?
I am some of both. I always have a storyboard but there are times when the story deviates from it, so I revise the plot accordingly. I can’t write not knowing where I am headed.
What encouragement can you give writers who face rejection?
You are not alone. All writers get rejected and this continues after you sell. It is the nature of the business and the market. Remember you are producing a product, which is something most of us overlook. You have to keep sending it out to new buyers. If you are lucky, your product will be in demand. Also, your product might not in demand now, but later on, that can change. Markets and rejections are fluid.
What are three things you cannot do without?
When it comes to writing, three things I need are my notes/outlines, music and sweet tea.
