Is a little respect too much to ask at a parent’s funeral?
Apparently it is for Destiny May. Clay Gallagher is built like a small mountain and far more vocal than is fitting when he shows up late to her mother’s “going away party.” When it turns out he’s not even at the right funeral, Destiny demands retribution in the form of an escape from the day’s dreary proceedings. Spending time with a handsome stranger who makes her laugh is more therapeutic than fighting with her overbearing family.
Clay finds Destiny beautiful, charming...and intelligent. So why is she stubbornly determined to open a Christian dating service? Clay has little respect for such a frivolous profession, and doesn’t think the small, conservative town of Castle Creek will welcome such a progressive business. But when Destiny is threatened by an anonymous caller who deeply resents her and what she does for a living, Clay makes it his business to keep the saucy redhead out of harm’s way.
Trouble is, spending time in her company weakens his defenses, and Destiny may be the one thing Clay can’t escape...if he even wants to.
About Delia:
DELIA LATHAM is a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. While she considers each of these roles important ones, she treasures most of all her role as a child of the King and an heir to the throne.
A former newspaper staff writer, Delia promised herself a novel for years, while raising her four children, working at various jobs and writing the occasional article, poem, or song. She fulfilled that promise when Vintage Romance Publishing released Goldeneyes in 2008. A Christian historical romance with a touch of the divine, Goldeneyes is set in the farm country of the author’s childhood, and therefore close to her heart. In 2010, White Rose Publishing released Yesterday’s Promise in electronic format, and Destiny’s Dream in print and e-format. A children’s book will be available early in 2011.
Delia grew up in Weedpatch, a tiny agricultural community near Bakersfield, in California’s San Joaquin Valley. She and her husband Johnny recently transplanted from that area to Okmulgee County, Oklahoma.
You can visit Delia at her Website for more information on her other books available through The White Rose Press, check out her

Cathy, thank you so much for hosting me on my tour...you are appreciated! :) I look forward to spending this time with you and your readers.
Writing is almost as rewarding as living, but maybe in some respects a little better. When we write our thoughts down for others to read we never know for how long our words will stand. I have been writing for over thirty years and even as late as today I got a Christmas card from someone I knew forty years ago who has found my books. I wonder if during the next thousand years or so someone will be digging my work out of the ash pile and saying, "Just WHO was this guy?"
Dr Robert E McGinnis
Don't bother to Google my name, your computer memory won't hold all of the information.
I've often wondered the same thing, Dr. McGinnis. If someone does happen to find a book with my name on it at the bottom of some pile of discards, and if they happen to open that book and read it, I only pray that God uses the words inside those covers to bless, encourage and edify.
