**Prescription for a Lonely Heart by Rosalie
Jardin**
Good Morning,
Everyone! So thrilled to see you all today! I am thrilled to be able to share a
new-to-me author with you all today. I love discovering authors and this is a
fantastic way to get a glimpse into compatibility between a reader and author.
So let’s go for it! Please allow me to introduce to the blog Rosalie Jardin and
her latest release, PRESCRIPTION FOR A LONELY HEART … Plus, a GIVEAWAY!
**ROSALIE JARDIN**
**BIO**
Rosalie Jardin is
the pen name an American-born author living in British Columbia. Writing
has been a passion since she was five, beginning with telling stories-
which often got her in trouble with her teachers because they kept
catching her writing instead of doing her schoolwork.
Rosalie considers
herself to be living the glamorous geek mom life and channels that energy
into her writings and her debut novel. Her characters rumble around in her
head, demanding to have their stories told and, like any good author, she
is just doing what she’s told.

“If we’re both
still single when we’re thirty, we’ll marry each other . . .”
The marriage pact was made during a lazy day at the beach, half in jest,
and seemingly forgotten by the boy who started it.
But ten years later, Kay hadn’t forgotten. She’s still shy and
introverted, not interested in relationships. So when Adrian reappears in her
life—two years early—and asks her to marry him now, she surprises herself by agreeing.
So now she must deal with her mother’s disapproval, his brother’s
hostility, and a load of self-doubt. Can she forge a real relationship with
Adrian? Has he really changed from a ladies man to someone she can trust? Will
she be able to let go of everything she’s ever thought she wanted and reach out
to grab a new future?
Prescription for a Lonely Heart is
the first book on the "Hearts in Glencoe City" series. This
friends-to-lovers standalone romance features a marriage pact, a calm-but-sassy
heroine, a himbo with a heart, and a HEA guaranteed.
**EXCERPT**
"We should make a marriage
pact." My eyes almost popped out. My heart, too. "You know? If we
both aren't married by the age of thirty, we'll marry each other."
"What?!" Now
it was my turn to throw my head back and laugh. I laughed so hard, the sides of
my stomach ached. "Oh no, no, no, no, no. No. That
is not something I'm interested in, sorry."
"Obviously if we end up marrying
other people, the deal is null and void," he pointed out. It did nothing
to quash my resistance. "But you're one of the nicest girls I know and I
like hanging out with you. And I’m pretty sure that you can tolerate me for
more than five minutes.”
My eyes were as wide as saucers. Was he
for real? “I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear all that, Adrian. You know you’re
talking nonsense, right?”
“I’m not! Do you think I’m kidding? Why
wouldn’t I make this pact with you?"
"Because a lot can happen in twelve
years!" I stood up from my beach chair, exasperated. Where was this coming
from? Did he conveniently forget this past year when we barely said a word to
each other? The summer heat was messing with his brain. "People change,
things change, the world changes! Pacts are made one day and broken the
next."
"The world can change all it wants,
but if I'm able, I'll always keep this promise no matter what." The way he
looked at me, eyes wide open with a hint of boyish charm, reminded me of why he
was popular with the ladies at school. "I get that things may change and
we may both end up married to other people and we could laugh about this later.
But I can't think of a better person to take this kind of pact with."
My eyes fluttered closed. I willed myself
to remain calm, and ordered my heart to keep steady. I had to admit that there
was something flattering about being “proposed to” (and I’m using the phrase
loosely) by the most "desirable" (or at least that’s what I’m told)
guy in school. Between that wild wavy black hair, dark eyes, and tanned skin,
he was pleasing on the eyes. If you asked everyone else what made Adrian so
attractive, they’d point out his toned muscular body or that bright smile of
his. But it was his kind heart that mattered to me more.
If anyone could get me to consider
agreeing to this kind of pact, it was him.
