ABOUT THE BOOK:
Kai Miller floats through life like driftwood tossed by waves. She's never put down roots in any one place--and she doesn't plan to. But when a chaotic hurricane evacuation lands her in Daily, Texas, she begins to think twice about her wayfaring existence.
And when she meets hometown-boy Kemp Eldridge, she can almost picture settling down in Daily--until she discovers he may be promised to someone else. Daily has always been a place of refuge for those the winds blows in, but for Kai, it looks like it will be just another place to leave behind. Then again, Daily always has a few surprises in store--especially when Aunt Donetta has cooked up a scheme.

That's a cute cover. Lisa Wingate is my sis-in-law's favorite author. She devours everything she writes! I have one of her books in my TBR pile... I think I will like her writing!
Interesting book and love the cover. Thanks for introducing me to another great author.
Lisa sounds like quite a talented writer. I like the premise behind Never Say Never so I've added her books to my want to read list.
I'm sorry to be in a rush--kids pulling at my legs! I promise to come back and read/respond later...but you have an award at my blog! (And it's not Southern City Mysteries...)

Interesting that most everyone had the same thought I did. I can't tell you why...but I really do love the cover. It's so simple, though.

Gosh, what a prolific author. How can she generate so many ideas, much less find the time to write them. Great job.
Best Wishes Galen.
