In Your Arms is a
touching love story about two lonely people finding love and
acceptance with one another.
Having spent her life living
in the shadow of her younger sister's beauty, Lissa Bloom has grown
used to the men in town ignoring her in favor of her sister. So when
a mysterious stranger comes to town she is shocked that he
apparently only has eyes for her.
Running from a past that
haunts him, Marcus McCaide accepts a job at Lissa's father's store.
As he spends time with Lissa, he can see her true beauty but is
afraid of hurting her. However, as each day passes, he finds it more
difficult to fight his attraction to Lissa and fears the day when he
will break her heart. Despite encouragement from her father and
pleadings from Lissa, Marcus refuses to open his heart up to her and
continues to push her away.
To protect Lissa and himself,
Marcus decides to leave town, pushing Lissa straight into the arms
of the only other man to ever pay attention to her…the elderly Dr.
Timothy Newcomb. Lissa loves Marcus and wants to be with him, but
circumstances have forced her to finally accept Dr. Newcomb's
proposal. When Marcus learns of her impending wedding, he is
determined to make Lissa his…even if it means finally revealing
his past and opening his heart up to her rejection. Will it be
enough, or is he too late?
With In Your Arms, Ms.
Goings has provided readers with a wonderful western romance filled
with great characters and a touching and sensual love story. Drawn
into the story, I found myself rooting for the couple as they
battled their doubts and faced their fears. I was touched by their
plight and could hardly wait to see how things turned out. Despite
the ups and downs of their relationship, Lissa and Marcus still
persevere and manage to help each other forget their self-doubts and
insecurities and believe in themselves demonstrating a wonderful
message about the power of love. In Your Arms was a delightful and
engaging read featuring a fascinating couple and a charming romance
that touches the heart.
