Counterfeit Fiancee' Barbara A Miller

She woke to discover that she was in a hospital, that she had amnesia and her name was Helen Mitchell. She was also told that she was engaged to the incomprehensible Reid Spencer. Because she didn't know where she lived, she was coerced into going home with Reid. If it weren't for Carolyn, Reid's mother, she wouldn't have gone. She could have easily withstood Reid's criticism, but Carolyn's heartfelt plea touched her heart, and she gave in. Reid's Jekyll-Hyde attitude confused and dismayed her. In the moments when he treated her with gentleness, she could understand why she had apparently accepted his proposal. However, those moments were few and far between. When she accidentally discovered she was an artist, Carolyn urged her to use her art to recover her memory. Could it be true? Could her art unlock her memories? And if it did, what would it reveal? I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I started writing when my children were young. I was feeling the need for adult conversation and discovered romance novels. After voraciously reading hundreds if not thousands of them I started writing for my own enjoyment. Recently my granddaughters have started reading my books and have encouraged me to get published. This summer will mark fifty years of marriage to my husband. Fifty wonderful years of laughter and puns have left their mark on me. There have been tears and arguments but mostly they were filled with a love that shines through in my writing. My first published fiction book, A Promise to Keep, was one of the first novels I wrote and is an enjoyable romp set in the Mackinac area of Michigan. I did have a non-fiction book published by Standard Publishing back in the late 80's, early 90's, and several of my poems have been published. I enjoy putting together a monthly newsletter for my church, as well as reading, music, camping and most of all, being with my family. I have a website (BAM Romance) that my son and granddaughter has set up for me.
