I will be giving away a copy of Heart of Steel for my winners. Here’s a teaser:
Chandler Santell avoids men—especially the rich and powerful ones who believe more in money than people. Desperate to save her struggling Yoga & Arts Center, her last hope is the most powerful man in the finance industry, a man reputed to have a “Heart of Steel.”
Logan Grant knew he was in trouble the moment Chandler Santell walked into his office. He agrees to her crazy deal only when she risks all and guarantees him a profit. Behind the scenes a dangerous game of love, power and greed begin to play out—a game Chandler knows nothing about. The payoff is worth millions to the man who can win Chandler’s heart. But is love worth the price?
Ready, set, go!
I’ve spent many new year’s wishing for a glamorous party with the perfect boyfriend on my arm, a cocktail in my hand, loud music in my ear, and three inch designer shoes on my feet. Imagine my surprise when I look back and remember one quiet December 31st, sititng in my living room with a chubby, bald little boy in my arms, drool leaking from his lips, eyes closed in slumber, and a peace in my heart that rivaled nothing as I looked at his face and watched him sleep. The television flickered in the dark, showing the beautiful crowd of revelers in the heart of Manhattan as the ball dropped. And I closed my eyes and whispered into my son’s ear…”Happy New Year, my sweet child.” And knew it was a night I’d never forget.

Kids do certainly have a way of sharpening the focus to what is truly needed for happiness. Also wash and wear clothing.

Thanks for sharing them memory. It just highlights that sometimes in life, what you think you want is sometimes diametrically opposed to what you really need to be happy!

Hi Elizabeth – you summarized the whole thing perfectly! Thanks for stopping by!
Spending time with family is my idea of the perfect NYE. This year, I spent it with my sister and 2 of her kids, watching a zombie marathon on TV. Goofy, but fun.

My favorite NYE memory is the one I spend with my now husband. We went out with my best friend and her (then) husband. It was horrible. They fought the whole night but at one point during all that craziness he leaned over and told me that he loved me.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

VERY sweet memory!
We usually spend the evening inside with family and friends, lots of good eats…playing cards (poker) and listening to music until the ball’s about to drop. Then the wine is poured, toasts made, kisses shared…and then the party usually continues for a little while longer. Those that drank a little too much, or came without a designated driver snuggle in for the night…that’s just how we play. Better safe than sorry. 🙂 Happy 2012!
