About Claiming Annie’s Heart

Annie Foster remains in Ireland after boarding school to nanny a widower’s infant daughter. Five years later, she accepts the widower’s marriage proposal.

Her first love Chad Jones, whom she believed deserted her, arrives on an undercover assignment weeks before the wedding to investigate her fiancé’s connection with terrorists. Chad’s determined to change her mind and her heart because he’s never stopped loving her.

Annie’s heart is torn between the man she'll always love and her fiancé's young daughter whom she’s promised never to abandon. Which man will claim Annie’s heart?

When did you write Claiming Annie’s Heart?

I started Annie’s story in 2007 and entered the manuscript in several RWA chapter contests where it won multiple awards and requests from editors. Unfortunately, those editors wanted to change Annie’s story and I couldn’t do that. Instead, I elected to indie publish. In 2014, Claiming Annie’s Heart was released in paperback and all ereader formats.

What was the spark that gave you the story idea?

The idea for this story came from my Irish roots and many trips to Ireland. On one of those trips, I visited an Irish girls’ boarding school where I experienced one of those rare writer moments--a character sprang fully formed into my head, commanding me to tell her story. That character was Annie Foster, the heroine of Claiming Annie’s Heart.

Why do readers buy Claiming Annie’s Heart?

Readers say the Irish setting and the unique reunion love story fascinate them. One reader reported: “The story kept me guessing about Annie's choice until the very satisfying end. Claiming Annie's Heart will claim your heart.”
