A Healer's Bond--A Connection Between Readers and an Author

Sixteen months ago, I wanted to do something that helped me connect to readers and lovers of I/R romance. At my group, The Color of Love, a group of readers and authors often had discussions of books and stories, after it was published. So, I decided to do the Project Unity via the members of my group. That project would help unify my relationship with my readers. Each month the readers of my newsletter, Blue News, will vote on what should happen next in the story I was writing. For sixteen months, we did this. I'd write, and the readers would vote. Some ideas were more popular than others and more than one occasion we had a tie, but in the end, I think, one of the best stories I've ever written emerged.
That story is A Healer's Bond.
The bond between myself and those who read my work was strengthened. Now I have friends, not just random names on the boards.

Enjoy,

Blurb: The John Doe bleeding out on the ER gurney had to be the sexiest man Adele had ever seen. Too beautiful to die. As an ER nurse, she works to save him, but her connection--to him lingers long after he's out of danger. What she didn’t expect was that before the night was over, her life would end up in his strong, surprisingly capable hands. Wyatt Young’s exile had few perks—condemned to Greensboro, he had a steady stream of loud, cranky people, and lousy food. Constantly hunted by his uncle, he’s startled when he wake up shirtless in a hospital, with his sword missing and his torso ripped apart. A beautiful healer helps him recover—a healer he can’t stop thinking about even when he passes out. A bond is formed between Adele and Wyatt—one they can’t fight. Wyatt’s uncle seeks to make Adele his personal healer—at any cost. Adele is the key to Wyatt’s salvation and his redemption. He won’t let her go without a fight. Ever.
