Torn
between two men, Sally must follow her heart and decide if love will
lead her to the city or the countryside.
Twenty-Two
year old Sally Rayton returns to the family farm she deserted four
years ago to bury her grandfather. Her plan: to settle her
grandfather's estate and return to her life in the city with her
boyfriend, Trevor Mattson.
Her
childhood friend, Jack Smith, has other ideas.
Jack
convinces Sally to transform the farm into a brewery and fulfill her
grandfather's dream while keeping the Rayton Farm in the family.
Sally works side-by-side with Jack while Trevor is hundreds of miles
away in the city. The more time she spends with Jack, the stronger
her feelings are for him.
When
Trevor shows up to propose to Sally right before Christmas and finds
her in Jack's embrace, she must make the biggest choice of her life:
true love.
EXCERPT
Jack
looked where she pointed.
"Sally..."
he began.
"Yes?"
"Are
you planning on selling it when the farm's made a profit?"
Sally
sighed.
He
turned her body around, his gaze penetrating hers.
"I
don't know," she whispered. "I know Grandpa wanted me to
keep it in the family." She furrowed her brow. "I'm not a
country girl; my heart belongs to the city."
"Hey,
it's okay." He moved a step closer. "Farming is hard work
and you have to love it to make it successful." He put a hand on
her shoulder. "Don't beat yourself up for following your heart."
Sally
winced.
"What?"
"Jack,
I'm not sure what my heart wants. Part of me loves being here,
carrying on the family name."
"But..."
Jack raised an eyebrow warily.
"But
I have a life in the city. I've almost finished my degree --"
"You
have Trevor," Jack interrupted her. He shook his head.
"What's
wrong with that? Yes, I have a life and a boyfriend in the city. I've
told you a thousand times my dream is to open my own sidewalk cafe."
She folded her arms over her chest. "Don't you want me to be
happy, Jack?" Her voice sounded hurt, even to her own ears.
He
closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
"This
isn't going how I wanted it to." He glanced up at her. "I'm
sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything. It's just --"
"What?"
Sally cocked her head to one side.
The
telephone rang inside.
"Shit,
I have to go answer it. I'll be right back." She ran into the
house.
"Hello?"
"Hi
beautiful." Trevor.

Author
Bio:
N. N. Light has
been creating stories ever since she was little. Her grandfather
remembers when she was two years old, she would stand at the top of
the stairs and tell him a story filled with emotion (and in a
language foreign to him) with her hands on her hips. Let's just say
she was a born storyteller.
She
was born in Minnesota, lived in Southern California only to move to
chilly Ontario, Canada to marry her beloved husband MR N. She is
blissfully happy and loves all things chocolate, books, music,
movies, art, sports and baking. Her mantra is to spread the Light.
Most
of the time you can find her on Twitter or getting new ideas on how
to spread the Light on Pinterest. She is a proud member of ASMSG,
Independent Author Network and Marketing for Romance Writers.
In
addition to being an author, she's also a book promoter/reviewer and
social media marketer. She loves books, has ever since she was young.
Matching up books and readers is something that gives her great
pleasure.

love to connect with you either via email or via these various social

Interview With N. N. Light:
Can
you tell us a little about your book?
My
latest release is a contemporary romance novella titled, Planting the
Seeds of Love. It's the story of Sally Rayton, torn between two men:
Jack (her childhood friend who loves working side-by-side with her on
the farm) and Trevor (her city boyfriend). She must follow her heart
and choose between her life in the city with Trevor or her country
life with Jack.
When
did you know you wanted to write a book?
It's
been my life-long dream to be a published author. I've been writing
stories ever since I was little. Everything came together, though,
after my encounter with a homeless man in my neighborhood. I was so
moved that I went home that very same day and wrote Princess of the
Light. Part of the proceeds go directly to help people like this
homeless man through my local food bank.
What
was the first book you published?
My
debut novel, Princess of the Light, released last September 2014.
Which
book is your most recently published?
Planting
the Seeds of Love: A Novella on September 15, 2015.
If
you could spend 24 hours as a fictional character, who would you
chose?
Wow,
tough question. I have so many favorite characters. If I had to
choose one, I think it would be Sherlock Holmes. It would be so
fascinating to live in his brain for 24 hours, to find out how his
mind operates. He's one of the most celebrated characters in literary
history and I would love to be him for just one day.
Do
you work with an outline, or just write?
I
work with a very loose outline while I'm writing by the seat of my
pants. I need a visual of the main plot points and characters so I
don't veer off course. On the other hand, I don't want to restrict my
writing (and my characters' voice) so I give myself plenty of room to
change things up.
Do
you have a favorite spot to write?
I
write in the writer's nook my husband created for me. I'm able to
look out the window and watch the trees sway. There's inspirational
sayings on sticky notes all over the desk and a special spot for my
large glass of water.
Do
you listen to music while you write?
Yes,
music is a necessity for me. The musical style depends on what I'm
writing. If I'm writing a big romance scene, love songs play in the
background. If I'm writing a big battle with demons and angels, then
hard rock or metal pulses all around me.
What
do you do when you are not writing?
My
day job is a social media marketer for the largest coin dealer in
Canada as well as running my successful book promotion business. I
love to walk outside every day. It's great exercise and allows my
mind to decompress. I also love to read, watch television, root for
my favorite MLB and NFL teams, bake goodies for my husband and listen
to music.
What
writing projects are you currently working on?
I'm
in the middle of writing book two in my Princess of the Light series.
I'm also brainstorming a contemporary romance Christmas novella.
Thank you, ladies, for featuring me and for the fun interview. I had a blast!
