Get lost in today’s beautiful and compelling love story, The Handfasting by David Burnett. It currently has a 4.6 star rating with 24 reviews. Reader Tracy Riva says, “This story is so touching, so emotional and so real… It deals realistically with some really difficult and sensitive issues and Burnett handles it all with just the right touch. I absolutely recommend this book.”
A story of love renewed, a suitor spurned, a vicious attack, a struggle for healing. It is a story of love that survives.
A Little About The Handfasting:
Standing before the altar, they were handfasted in the Celtic custom, engaged to be married. For a decade, she had been waiting, hoping, praying. Today ─ her birthday─ she finds a vase of yellow roses waiting for her. Stephen, though, is not Katherine’s only suitor. Bill Wilson has known her since they were in high school. He has longed to wed her, and he finally decides to stake his claim. Although the action occurs primarily in New York City, psychologically, the story is set in a small town in Virginia. Change came slowly to the South in the seventies, and attitudes toward women were difficult to change. Women were expected to be subservient to men, to have children, to keep house. These attitudes threaten to destroy Katherine and the life of which she dreams.
About the Author:
David Burnett’s first novel,The Reunion, is set in nearby Charleston. The Handfasting is his second novel. While most of the events in the story take place in New York City, psychologically, the story is set in the rural South of the 1970’s. David has graduate degrees in psychology and education and previously was Director of Research for the South Carolina Department of Education. He and his wife have two daughters.
Praise for The Handfasting:
“The Handfasting is a book that left me with my jaw hanging open more than once (and I am not easily shocked!) David Burnett’s second book shows his ability to tell compelling stories about love lost and found again.” –Suzanne
“…an excellent read with a beautiful love story. It had my attention from beginning all the way to the end.” –Len Phelps
“David Burnett’s second book proves he is not destined to be a “one-hit wonder.” The details of the scenes, whether in New York or Europe, shows the reader that he has personally explored them, which makes you feel like you are walking alongside the characters.
Another outstanding book by one of my favorite authors…” –Sheryl Starnes

“Castle Mountain Lodge has got to be the most romantic place ever…It makes you crave the excitement of falling in love all over again.” –Amazon Reviewer
Run away to Castle Mountain Lodge! Romance fans, take a look at today’s sweet love story, Secret Gifts (A Castle Mountain Lodge Romance) by Elena Aitken. It already boasts a 4.5 star rating.
A Brief Synopsis of Secret Gifts:
If party-boy Gage Mitchell doesn’t shape up, he’ll lose the acting role of a lifetime. PR rep, Megan Powers has only one job—keep Gage Mitchell out of trouble, or she’ll be looking for a new career. And what better place to do it then the remote and beautiful Castle Mountain Lodge. After all, how much trouble could he get into deep in the mountains? Surrounded by wilderness, away from the paparazzi. But when a dark secret from Gage’s past threatens to ruin everything, Megan and Gage stand to lose it all–including each other.
About the Author:
Elena has been writing in one form or another since elementary school but although she always knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. After her twins were born she was buried in diaper changes, middle of the night feedings and mountains of laundry, so obviously it seemed like a logical time to start writing. She turned to non-fiction and became a regular contributor to local parenting magazines, published in four Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies, and a compilation by Seal Press. It wasn’t until 2005 that she tried her hand at writing fiction and wrote her first novel.
What Fans Are Saying About Secret Gifts:
“You will laugh and cry. As in the rest of the Castle series, you will be anxiously awaiting the next in the series. I can only hope more are coming…” –Diane
“This was probably my favorite Castle Mountain book so far. True to Elena Aitken’s form, there were great characters that you could relate to, realistic romantic challenges we all face, and of course, a beautiful setting.” –Amazon Reviewer
