Stipulations and Complications

by Becki Willis

  Again, she heard his smile. “There already is, sweetheart.” The richness in his voice was so deep and so warm it curled her toes. “You have enough to worry about, without this. I’ll wait for you, sweetheart, until things settle down. I’m not going anywhere.”

  “No stipulations?” she whispered.

  “None. Unconditional.”

  “Unconditional,” she breathed. The thought made her smile.

  Life always came with complications, but there were no stipulations to Brash’s love.

  1. What would you do if you found a skeleton in your house? Would you still live there?

  2. Do you think Juliet Randolph Blakely knew about the hidden staircase down to the secret room? Madison assumed she never knew, but what do you think? Is it possible to live in a house and never know all its secrets?

  3. Madison agreed to do the reality TV show because she felt it was her only option to restore the old mansion and provide a home for her children. Did she make the right choice? Is the cost of fame and the invasion of privacy too great a price to pay?

  4. Madison kept the truth about her late husband from her children. What would you have done in her shoes? Would you protect your children from the truth about their father and willingly been seen as the ‘bad guy,’ or would you gently tell them of his deceit and help them understand that fairy tales don’t exist in real life?

  5. Now Maddy is caught between hurting her daughter and ignoring her own heart. What would you do in this situation? What do you think the next step is for Maddy and Brash?

  About the Author

  Becki Willis has always had a love affair with the written word. Reading, writing, scribbling on paper, tapping on keyboards, e-books, paperbacks, hardcovers: she loves every aspect. In 2013, Becki turned a healthy addiction into a career by publishing her first book.

  The Association of Texas Authors recently awarded Becki and her books dual awards. Forgotten Boxes garnered Best Suspense Novel of 2016, while The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series won for Best Mystery.

  Becki likes to create stories that reflect real life. She stirs up believable characters in believable situations, then tosses in the thrill of mystery and adventure. Danger is good, too. While all her stories have a healthy dose of romance, if you’re looking for graphic sex scenes, you won’t find them here. Like the magic of a good book, Becki believes some things are best left to the imagination.

  Married to her high school sweetheart for over thirty years, Becki lives on a ranch in Central Texas and is a member of the Association of Texas Authors, the National Association of Professional Women, and the Brazos Writers organization.
