Today A Bed of Roses...Thorns Included welcomes E.A. West as she introduces her recent release, Trust of the Heart. Don't you just love this cover?
Blurb:
Josh
Teague has dark memories from his time in Iraq. While he longs to share the
burden of those memories with someone, he is afraid they will scare his
girlfriend. Unwilling to risk losing her, he keeps the memories to himself and
tries to keep a cheerful attitude despite the holiday season threatening to
bring his mood down.
Leann Robak has her own set of memories causing trouble. Abandoned by her father when she was ten, she is devastated when her mother announces she’s taking a month-long trip to Europe over Christmas. Although Josh’s invitation to spend Christmas with him at his parents’ house holds exciting prospects, Leann can tell he’s hiding something from her. That knowledge leaves her wondering how well she truly knows him and whether he even wants to be in a relationship with her.
Can Josh and Leann learn to trust each other fully, or will their insecurities drive them apart?

Short Excerpt:
Leann eyed
him, suspicious about the hand she couldn’t see. “Why are you grinning like
that?”
“Because
I’m wondering what you think about me making a snow woman.”
“A snow
woman?” She gasped as she realized what he planned to do. “Don’t you dare!”
“Sorry,
family tradition.” He ran after her and caught her arm; then he dumped a huge,
lightly packed snowball on the top of her head. It burst on impact, sending
snowflakes cascading down around her.
She
shivered as some of the snow slid down the back of her coat and chilled her
neck, but it was all she could do to keep from laughing as she looked into
Josh’s sparkling eyes. “It’s a family tradition to dump snow on your
girlfriend?”
“Yep.” He
drew her close and gave her a kiss, warming her up despite the melting snow
soaking through her hat. “We dump snow on anyone we can catch.”
“And Megan
thought you couldn’t be a goofball.” Leann shook her head and gave into the
laughter.
“That
reminds me...” Josh released her and scooped up a handful of snow. “Hey,
Megan!”
His sister turned
around as he let the snowball fly. It hit her in the shoulder with a thump, and
she grinned. “Yes! It’s about time!”
