FIRST LOVES…Pilot Max Wildman Wilder thought he’d left the Midwest in the past, along with the bitter memories of the one woman he can’t forget. But when a devastating flood cripples his small Illinois hometown, Max returns to fly in much needed supplies for the disaster victims. The last thing he expects is for Liza Jane Mackenzie to show up on his doorstep in the middle of a thunderstorm. And why can’t his stupid heart remember he’s supposed to hate her?SECOND CHANCES…Widow Elizabeth Mackenzie (a.k.a Liza Jane) knows more about living with regrets than anyone. But she’s determined not to let the flood waters take the 100 year old Mackenzie House, especially since it now serves as a safe-house for battered women. And if saving it means facing Max Wilder again, she’ll do it-even if that means facing his anger over her marrying his best friend. However, fear is the last thing she feels when she sees Max again, and Liza must accept the fact she might still love him after all these years.FOREVER CONSEQUENCES…As passion flares again between Liza and Max, past secrets and hurts will surface and threaten any chance of happiness. After all this time, is their love strong enough to survive? *****Amazon Reviewer: …a romance amidst a natural disaster, not the usual setting for a romance. I love the love second-time-around theme. We get southern hospitality, second-chances, reactions to children seeing their mother finding love again, and a SWEET mother-in-law. Most of us don’t get an up-close view of the Mississippi and her tributaries’ flood disasters, just headlines in a newspaper or a special on TV news. That Wilder Man gives us a personal look at the devastation and heroism related to natural disasters. Steamy sex doesn’t hurt either. This is a read-it-til-you-finish-it kind of book, and I’m glad that I did! - Marjorie R. Mindel
