Excerpt

I smile at my parents, but before I say anything, I look over and see tears in Brad’s eyes. It surprises me, and I’m touched. I walk over to him, and sit on his lap. He puts his arms around me. I bury my head in his neck kissing it.

“I’m in love with you, Marcy Jean Preston.”

“I’m in love with you, Bradley William Preston.”

“You are one of a kind. There are no words…”

We sit in the chair holding each other and not moving. After a while he gazes at me and kisses me warmly.

“You do things to me I can’t explain.”

“I didn’t mean to make you sad.”

“Marcy, you didn’t make me sad. You make me very, very happy. You want to go to bed now?”

“Yes, I do.”

We get up and notice everyone has left the room.

“Did we chase everyone out?” I wonder.

“I think they were just giving us a moment, baby. Let’s go say goodnight. I’m sure my parents want to get back to the hotel.”

We go into the kitchen, and they’re sitting around the table.

“Marcy thank you for that song. It was beautiful, just like you, honey,” Laura articulates. She gets up and walks over to me and whispers in my ear. “Thank you for making my son so happy. I love you.”

About Linda Burson

Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was a teenager. She started out writing memoirs and continued writing by attempting several nonfiction pieces.
After attending college, pursuing other interests, and traveling, a lot of Linda's free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women's contemporary novels.
After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own custom computerized embroidery business and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.
After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed down her business after almost fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.
In January, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing notes about how her novel would progress. After that, the writing began and it never stopped. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of 13 books in the series.
When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: "Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying 'anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don't ever let anyone tell you, you can't do something.' Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important."
Linda is now in the process of writing a new thriller novel, a short story, and has just completed a mystery called Murder Among Friends, which is due to be published April 15, 2018. Her seventh book in the MARCY SERIES is due to be released mid 2018.
