Loren Fairchild longs for children, but is barren. At a cottage in Carlisle, UK, she puts her divorce behind her and begins a new life. In 1947 the former owner’s wife disappeared. That same week, according to local gossip, her husband took up with a dark-headed harlot. One morning in 2007, a simple-minded woman appears at Loren’s cottage and triggers events that change Loren’s life forever.

Miles Chapeau misses the wife, the mother of his two children, he’d known before the war. When he returned from WWII in 1945, he learned she’d been hurt in an air raid and has the mind of a child. He loves her and would never forsake his duty, but misses the intimate side of marriage and a woman to share his life. One day she disappears and his existence is turned upside down.

Caught in a web of confusion, Loren and Miles struggle with the direction their lives must take.

Desires of the Heart—Poor Sales—Why?—Free at Amazon.com on November 11th & 12th

Desires of the Heart, my time travel set in post WWII, has never sold well, and I'd like to know why.
Is it because of the beginning scene, one rather tough to read, a bedroom scene staring the heroine and her soon to be ex-husband? It is rather rough but was written that way because here the jerk of a husband shows his true colors?

I decided to enroll it in the KDP program at Amazon and offer it for free on November 11th and 12th in hopes readers could help me out. I hope you'll grab a copy and please leave a short review stating whether you like it or not.

Review for Desires of the Heart

Review from You Gotta Read Reviews .

I'm so pleased with this review of my short time travel out now with The Wild Rose Press.

Title: Desires of the Heart

Author: Linda LaRoque

Publisher: Wild Rose Press

Buy Link: Desires of the Heart

Rating: You Need To ReadReviewed by: Tami

Review: Wow, what a page turner. I was shocked how much I truly enjoyed this book. Not that I thought Ms. LaRoque's book was going to be bad, but I just didn't think that a book with this page length (kinda short) could be this detailed. Linda was able to put the entire story into a perfect little package. There were no frivolous words, or scenes. Only perfect symmetry and lovable characters. I will tell you the first page made me want to reach through my computer screen and throttle someone, but hey, she caught me with the first sentence.

Desires of the Heart is out today!

This story is a different one for me. My settings are usually in the west, mostly Texas, but I decided to try a different locale with this one. I love the fashions of post WWII and the laid back lifestyle. People were recovering, rebuilding lives that had been damaged by death and disaster. It was a time for hope and new beginnings.

I hope you'll enjoy reading Desires of the Heart as much as I did writing it. Check it out at The Wild Rose Press. Here is the book trailer.

Thanks for viewing and happy reading!

Desires of the Heart

Coming March 4, 2009 from The Wild Rose Press.

When life today is filled with pain, look to the future – or past.

Loren Fairchild longs for children, but is barren. At a cottage in Carlisle, UK, she puts her divorce behind her and begins a new life. She’s interested in the former owners of the small house and about the woman who disappeared into thin air. The same week, according to local gossip, her husband took up with a dark-headed harlot. One morning, a simple minded woman wearing a white nightgown appears at the cottage and triggers events that change Loren’s life forever.

Miles Chapeau misses the wife, the mother of his two children, he’d known before the war. When he returned home in 1945, he learned she’d been hurt in an air raid and now had the mind of a child. He loves her like another child and would never forsake his duty, but misses the intimate side of marriage and having someone to share his interests and goals with. One day she disappears and his existence is turned upside down.
