Scent of Lilacs

Jane Bonander "reaches out to readers' hearts" (Romantic Times) with wonderful tales that perfectly blend wild desire, tender emotion, and vivid sensuality. Now she whisks us to the California frontier, where an old passion becomes a new problem.
When Lexy Tate dreamed of practicing medicine, she hadn't imagined setting up her practice in an abandoned brothel, or delivering a calf in a ramshackle barn. But as one of the first woman doctors in America, Lexy couldn't afford to be fussy, especially with a young daughter to consider. Little Krista needed the warmth of the California sun for her health, and Lexy was determined to make a home for the two of them on the California frontier.
Lexy was prepared for hardship and difficult working conditions but she wasn't ready to meet Jake Westfield, again. Four years earlier, Jake had shown how little he cared for Lexy when he left her without giving her a chance to tell him she was bearing his child. Now, faced with the man she'd loved since she was a young girl, Lexy knew that this time she could not afford to give in to the passion that still bound them. This time, she had to make the right decision, not just for herself, but for her precious daughter....

About the Author
Jane Bonander often takes an old subject and breathes new life into it, as she did in Warrior Heart, which booksellers claimed was "fantastic," a "must read" and "a keeper." Scent of Lilacs also involves an old plot -- the secret-baby story -- with a different twist. "Every book needs a blend of drama, heartache, humor, and fulfillment," she claims. "But if it's a romance, it must also have an internal conflict."
Jane's readers will vouch for her ability to deliver it all. Her three prior romances for Pocket Books, Dancing on Snowflakes, Wild Heart, and Winter Heart, also received critical acclaim from reviewers, booksellers, and readers alike, who praised the books for their passion, suspense, well-constructed and lovable characters, and thrilling romance. The author of twelve romances, Jane Bonander is currently at work on her next novel for Pocket Books. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
