Today’s guest author is Sharon K. Connell.

 

I love Sharon’s stories. I’m sure you will enjoy this one too.

 

 

Please allow me to introduce you to my latest release, Trust Never After. A story of romance, suspense, and mystery set in the farm community of central Minnesota.

 

First a little about Trust Never After. The story was prompted by the area where my mother was born and raised. As a Chicago city girl, I spent many summers in Menahga and Sebeka, Minnesota, falling in love with the people and their way of life. I never thought of myself as wanting to live there, but as of our promotional tour to Menahga this past August, I can see that now.

 

Here is a blurb and endorsements from the back book cover.

 

Shattered by her experience in the big city, can a country girl ever trust again?

 

Máire returns to Menahga, Minnesota, but her troubles are far from over. She’s drawn to Ethan, who can’t escape his guilt. Will they overcome the hurdles life has tossed in their paths? Or will the source of Máire’s distrust follow her and cause pain for her… and those she loves?

 

“With Trust Never After, Sharon K. Connell has woven a suspenseful, romantic tale with a rich, descriptive setting and likeable characters. Fans of the genre will enjoy following Máire and Ethan’s story.” –Heidi Glick, author of Dog Tags and Hold for Release

 

“I love reading Sharon K Connell’s stories, and Trust Never After is no exception. Sharon has created a Minnesotan small town romance driven by a heart-stopping suspense plot. With her trademark humor, authentic settings, and carefully crafted Christian characters, Trust Never After is another page turner to add to your collection.” –Megan Short, ACFW Scribes member

 

In writing Trust Never After, I fell in love with Menahga, Minnesota and the beautiful Spirit Lake all over again. So much so that my husband and I plan to leave Houston, Texas and move to Menahga this coming spring. My relatives living up there are thrilled. When it came to the research for the book, my family, living in the area, was of the utmost help to make the story real.

 

All of my novels have a decided Irish influence. However, my mother was Finnish, so this story had to be a little different. Still, I managed to sneak in the Irish theme by making both my lead characters half-Finnish and half-Irish. This was so easy, considering I’m half and half myself.

 

The story starts off in Minneapolis, where Máire has been working in a bank since she graduated from college. There, she met the man she became engaged to, Ryan. After her shocking experience, finding that her fiancé has been unfaithful to her with her own roommate, Máire can't endure the idea of working with Ryan any longer and decides to return to her hometown, determined to never trust another man with her heart.

 

That’s all well and good until she comes face to face with her heartthrob from high school, Ethan, when her parents help her return home. But they can be friends, right?

 

If you guessed that her former fiancé wasn’t just going to let Máire walk away from him, you’re right. How much trouble will he cause her, and those she cares about? And what is the mystery of the death of the young woman Ethan thought he wanted to marry?

 

I hope you’ll give my twelfth book a read. And I truly hope you’ll enjoy it.

 

Thank you for allowing me to present my latest work, Kathy.
