First of all, Happy New Year to all of you! 

January marks the release of the first book in a duet that's very much written from my heart and soul.  COMING HOME and FORGIVENESS (April) are done in an experimental format for series romance in which both books cover the same basic flow of events but each is from the perspective of a party with different stakes in the story.  Writing them was a challenge, to say the least!

Malcolm and Cleo Channing thought they had it all, but sometimes even the strongest love is tested beyond bearing.  When unimaginable tragedy strikes their family, they are scattered to the winds.  The bad seed child who caused it returns, still troubled but bearing an unexpected and precious gift.  Cleo and Malcolm's worlds intersect once again--but an innocent life and the pain of the past stand in the way of the love that never truly died.

There's nothing I love more than a reunion romance, and in this case, the love between Cleo and Malcolm--and all that parts them--really spoke to me.  It's a deeply emotional book for me, and I hope it will be for you, too.  Reviewers are coming out very strongly in its favor:

"COMING HOME just blew me away...Jean Brashear pulls out all the stops as  she tells you a story straight from the heart to yours."  --Suzanne Coleburn, Reader To Reader Reviews/ The Belles & Beaux of Romance "Ms. Brashear surpasses herself again in the novel COMING HOME."  -- RomanceJunkies.com "The extremely talented Jean Brashear has outdone herself in her January Harlequin SuperRomance #1251,  COMING HOME with its emotionally wrenching plot and unique concept."  -- Patricia Rouse, Rouse's Romance Readers Groups

I'll be back in touch with you when it's time for their daughter Ria's story, FORGIVENESS, in April.  In the meantime, for more details and contest entry info, go to my website. 

COMING HOME should be on stands any day now, or you can order it off links on my website.

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for your support and encouragement.  I may be a writer, but I do not have the words to tell you just how much they mean.

All my best,
