It's Monday and you all know what that means! It's meet the author Monday. Today Cate Masters shares her latest release with us. Please make her feel welcome. Cate...take it away!
Every girl remembers her first love.
One mention of the guy’s name can ignite vivid memories. He might be the one to
whom she compares every other guy, and most pale in comparison. He was the one
who shared all those “firsts” with her, all those intimate moments made all the
more special because she’d never tried anything like it before. Never wanted to
until she met him.

I love stories like that, don’t you?
Combine it with a “second chance” theme and I’m hooked. What if you could go
back and find your first love? Would you want a second chance?
If you’re like me, you were lucky
enough to keep your first love. My hubby and I celebrated thirty five years
together last fall. We dated for six months, but we knew the first week, I
think, that this was The Big One. Now our three kids are grown, and we’re
blessed with three grandboys.
Life rarely follows the path we lay
out when we’re young. But the path we find ourselves on is always the best one,
isn’t it? Even if we couldn’t fully envision our futures, fate manages to help
us find the way.
In Homecoming, I wove in another
element – returning home, another theme I love. My hero and heroine, Nick and
Jennie, are both a bit damaged, and reluctant to trust their own hearts. Until
they find each other again, that is. Then their hearts tell them what they
already knew. :)
Here’s the blurb:
Her abusive husband finally out of
her life, Jennie Mayfair arrives in her hometown to rekindle old friendships
and make a new start. Jennie wants someone safe but sexy to hold her again and
make her feel loved, and a surprise invitation from Madame Eve seems to be
exactly what she ordered. She never expects her wish list to be filled to such
sublime perfection. But how can she trust the guy who shattered her heart years
ago?
Nick Spencer’s business success
doesn’t keep him warm in bed, and neither did his wife, though she knew how to
keep other men warm – in his own bed. When he learns his first love, Jennie, is
single again, he arranges for a blind date. One night with her convinces him
he’s missed too many years of happiness. He doesn’t intend to let her get away
from him again. But can he convince her their past will be a solid foundation
for a new future?
Decadent Publishing released
Homecoming on Friday as part of its very cool 1 Night Stand series
Bio
Cate Masters has made beautiful central Pennsylvania
her home, but she’ll always be a Jersey girl

lair, concocting a magical brew of contemporary, historical, and fantasy/paranormal
stories with her cat Chairman Maiow and dog Lily as company. Look for her at her blog and
in strange nooks and far-flung corners of the web.
