Scorned with disgrace, Annabelle Jordan and her daughters are no longer welcome in her reverend uncle's community. In need of a fresh touch of grace, Annabelle's in no mood to seek mercy yet. Not after carrying on a youthful affair with that scoundrel of a boyfriend long enough to produce two daughters before she finally sent him away.

Now without a home, Annabelle's convinced her answer is to find the man again and force that marriage he pledged but never kept. Annabelle knows he can provide her daughters the name, home, security, and future they need. Who else would show interest in a soiled, aging woman over thirty with two growing children?

Clearly, that was before Major Carlton Radcliffe entered her life. How was Annabelle to know she'd fall for someone beyond her reach, loyal to the faith she's been fleeing and nobly pledged to a wife and family of his own?

EXCERPT

Taking the tip of his fingers, Carlton ever-so-lightly touched the hollow of Annabelle's cheek, then her chin. Both were as soft as he imagined. He couldn't resist tracing the outline of her heart-shaped mouth.

His skin shivered with the palpitations of his heart. As if stung by a hornet, he snatched his hand back and tightened his fingers into a fist. He rearranged his shoulders with a stiff jerk.

Clearing his throat, he lifted the woman out the coach the rest of the way and into his arms. When she fell against his chest as limp as a rag doll, his heart beat faster.

Not only did Carlton enjoy feeling her enchanting womanliness next to him, but her filmy skin akin to satin rubbed against the grating roughness of his prickly-haired arms. Goose bumps rose like stiff pebbles on a sandy beach at low tide. He shivered again. Good gracious! He had to stop, and now.

Too much time had obviously passed since he'd had the pleasure of a woman near him. This was going to be his end if he wasn't careful.

Carlton let out a quiet moan and swallowed again. With his next breath, he took in every inch of the feminine scent floating his way. He finally turned with abruptness.

No one could deny he was a man.




"Ms. Shirley Kiger Connolly has written an inspirational novel with a different outlook than most. It delved into the lives of several people who were affected by what the father of these girls did. And what was wrong with the way they engaged with others? Connolly gave us unique glimpses into the plot so that we could see more than we realized at the time (or at least, I didn’t realize until later)... I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a slant to the adventurous life. You will definitely not be bored."

Brenda Talley -- The Romance Studio
Rating = 4.5 Hearts

"Gritty realism. Honest representation of sometimes-less-than-admirable, hopelessly human characters. A strong but subtle thread of hope in Christ. This first book in Shirley Kiger Connolly's Decisions Series is a beautifully woven tale that leaves the reader believing that with God, all things really are possible--even putting the past in the past and saying goodbye...to yesterday."

Delia Latham -- Review Posted at Amazon
Rating = 4 Stars

"Shirley Kiger Connolly is definitely talented! I am so happy I had the chance to review her first book, Say Goodbye To Yesterday, in her new fiction series, Decisions.I loved her her writing style, the characters she created and the emotion she pulls from her readers as they read this novel."
