Excerpts-
Chapter One
March Near Cairns, Australia
"Mom! Hurry up," Lori Reese urged, sounding more like a six-year-old than a young woman in her sophomore year of college. "We don't want to be late!"
At the sound of her daughter's voice, Sarah Reese rolled over in bed, buried her face in the thick, downy pillow, and contemplated taking up bank robbery in order to afford a return trip to this resort. She and Lori were nearing the end of their two-week all-expenses-paid Australian vacation, and the experience had given her a tantalizing taste of traveling in the lap of luxury.
"Ten more minutes." This bed was heaven.
"It's already six-fifteen."
Their ride to the marina was scheduled to arrive at seven o'clock, and getting ready would take fifteen minutes, tops. She didn't need to hurry. "Five more minutes."
Indulgent frustration laced Lori's voice. "When exactly did we switch roles? I think it must have been the first day of the trip, when you spent half of that interminable plane ride flirting with the man across the aisle."
Sarah grinned into her pillow, then lazily rolled her head and looked at her daughter. Her heart melted with a potent combination of love and pride. Lori was a sophomore majoring in biomedical science at Texas A&M University and making excellent progress toward her goal of earning admission to A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine. She'd worked hard to work ahead and cleared an extra ten days of spring break with her professors. At twenty, she was taller than her mother by seven inches--a fact she loved to tease five-foot-nothing Sarah about at every opportunity. She had Sarah's high cheekbones and dark hair, and her grandmother Ellen's sweet smile. Her eyes were a beautiful blend of shades of green. Sarah's late father had called them mountain eyes, because her eyes were a mountainside of aspen and fir and piñon and cottonwood.
Sarah didn't see the mountains when she looked at Lori's eyes. She saw Cam Murphy. Her daughter had her father's eyes. She had Cam's height and Cam's eyes--two distinctive characteristics that provided Sarah an unwelcome reminder of the man she'd just as soon forget.
"I wasn't flirting with the guy across the aisle. I was just being friendly. He was the one doing all the flirting."
"Yeah, right." Lori's eyes gleamed with amusement as they made an exaggerated roll. "Okay, here's the deal. I'm going to wander over to the lobby and get two cups of coffee. If you're not out of bed by the time I come back, I'll drink both of them."
Sarah scowled and grumbled, "Obviously I didn't spank you enough when you were little."
Lori laughed, and a moment later, Sarah heard the door to their suite softly close. She gave a wistful sigh, rolled onto her back, and sat up. Her reluctance to rise had more to do with the fact that today was the last day of their dream-of-a-lifetime vacation than with fatigue.
They'd had an absolutely, positively wonderful trip, seeing enough of the country to make them feel like they'd gotten a taste of Australia but not so much that they felt rushed. The past three nights they'd spent here at a magnificent resort on the Coral Sea, and today they'd ice their vacation cake with a catamaran trip out to the Great Barrier Reef.
Sarah stretched as she gazed out through glass-pane French doors, past the veranda, with its private spa tub, and across the golden-sand beach toward the turquoise sea. She crossed to the doors and pushed them open, then took time to count her blessings. This trip had been the grand prize in a contest sponsored by Angel's Rest, the healing center...
About the Author-
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Emily March lives in Texas with her husband and their beloved boxer, Doc, who tolerates a revolving doggie door of rescue foster dogs sharing his kingdom until they find their forever homes.

Reviews-
November 28, 2011 In the wholesome and sweet fourth Eternity Springs contemporary (after Heartache Falls), Sarah Reese is reunited with Cam Murphy, her high school sweetheart and father of her daughter, Lori. Twenty years after he abandoned pregnant teen Sarah, Cam has taken leave of his home in Australia in an effort to reconnect and make things right with his first love and their college-bound daughter. Naturally, Lori decides she wants nothing to do with her birth father, and Sarah’s mother may have Alzheimer’s disease, but she still remembers “that Murphy boy is no good.” Still, Sarah and Cam have chemistry and care for one another, and buoyed by the encouragement of their friends, they cautiously move forward. But when a family disaster threatens, their tenuous relationship is put to the test. Despite an abundance of cheesy dialogue, March’s latest is compelling and satisfying. Agent: Jane Rotrosen Literary Agency.
