Emma loses an important modeling job due to an injury she got while playing with her brothers. How will she pay for the beautiful holiday presents she planned for her family and friends? Emma is playing ball with her brothers on an unusually warm winter afternoon. But an errant toss from her brother Matt hits her right on the nose Luckily, it's nothing more serious than a little swelling, but it's enough to make her lose an important modeling job at The Special Day salon. Mona hires "mean girl" Olivia Allen to fill in. Olivia is thrilled, not only for the job, but also for a chance to spread some nasty rumors about Emma. Worst of all, now Emma can't afford the beautiful holiday gifts she planned to buy her family and friends. Emma's Cupcake Club pals remind her that the best gifts come from the heart, and don't have a price tag.

Will the girls find the missing pup before her owner returns?

The sky grew dark and campfires sprang up as the party continued. Standing with a group of women, Emma spotted Davis in a circle of men who apparently were having some fun at his expense. The joking and nudging led her to believe they were discussing what was to come when the party wound down. Davis seemed to take it all in stride, but when he glanced over she found her heartbeat speeding up. Glory be, what had she done? In her focus on getting married again so she would have help for the rest of the trip, she had shoved the wedding night and all it meant to the back of her mind. Now it immediately presented itself to her full force. What was she thinking marrying a man she hardly knew? Would he insist on his marital rights tonight? Would he give her time to adjust to him? She didn't have a whole lot of time to dwell on it as Davis walked slowly over to her, his lips tilted in a half smile. He took both of her hands in his and gently kissed her on the lips. The distinct odor of whiskey wafted from his mouth. Perhaps she should have also dipped a cup into the men's punch bowl to calm her nerves."Let's go back to the wagon." He whispered against her lips."Um, already?" Emma gasped. Davis chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders, guiding her away from the group. Oh, dear, it didn't seem as though Davis had any intention of allowing any getting to know you time before he took her to bed. She broke into a sweat and swallowed several times, trying to fill her lungs with air. The walk back to the wagon used up no time at all. Her heart thudded so hard no doubt Davis could hear it. Apparently noticing her distress, Davis left her in front of the wagon. "I'll have a smoke out here, to give you privacy in the wagon before I come in." Nodding numbly, Emma crawled into the wagon. Good grief, now what? Would it be acceptable to lie down fully dressed on the pallet? What if she only took off her shoes? Davis had cleared out a few things and re-packed so the bed would fit. It was a warm night, but she imagined newlyweds sleeping under the wagon would not be appropriate. Newlyweds. There was a scary word. Reluctantly, Emma took off her dress and underclothes and put the same nightgown on. Hands shaking, she took the pins out of her hair and brushed the lengthy locks. She could hear Davis outside the wagon moving about. She lay down on the pallet and took a deep breath. Within minutes her new husband entered through the canvas flap. The space seemed so small with him in here with her. Her heart sped up again, her breathing rapid. With the bright moonlight she could see his face as he sat alongside her. Tenderness seemed to radiate from him. He moved his hand slowly over her hair. "You have beautiful hair, Emma," he whispered. "I like it down. It's like curly brown silk." He picked up strands of hair and let it fall between his fingers. He then ran the back of his hand over her face, ending at her chin. He tilted her head up and bent slowly over her.

Finalist in 2013 Foreword Book Award for best thriller/suspense and Silver Medal Winner of the 2013 Readers' Favorite International Book Award.As the novel opens, FBI Special Agent Rick Clark is struggling to recover from the death of his only daughter, followed by a divorce from his wife of twenty years. His mission is to track down the leaders of a domestic terrorist group allegedly committed to changing the political landscape. The group claims that "real change" occurs only when it is preceded by acts of violence, violence that clearly and tangibly demonstrates the urgent need for reform. To this end, EMMA targets CEOs of major corporations responsible for crimes against humanity.Under Agent Clark's radar is Brent Cossack, a disillusioned, former black ops officer who has decided to join EMMA's group of militant anarchists. Brent's reasons are both political and personal. For sure, he is no renegade black-ops commando gone bonkers. His motives for joining the terrorist group run deep. Crushed by his experiences as a clandestine officer in Iraq, he returned home and fell in love with a beautiful political activist, while trying his best to put his harrowing past behind him. Everything seemed just fine, until a terrible event in the young couple's lives pushed him over the edge. More than a political thriller, EMMA is a novel about love and loss as well as an indictment of a democratic society that seems to become less so each day.
