On SALE! Only .99¢!

The moment Sam looked at me, I knew he saw me. The real me, not the one I pretended to be. He saw beyond my pretense to the girl beneath. The girl who cried herself to sleep at night. The girl who pushed people away, when all she really wanted was for someone to look her in the eye and tell her everything would be alright. That life wasn’t always pain. That living wasn’t always this difficult. That the ones you loved didn’t always leave you behind. In that moment, Sam saw me, and I saw him. And I knew without a doubt that I would love him and he would betray me.

Natasha Masterton, a young college student on the verge of graduation, has the world at her feet. But all is not at it seems. Her mother is dead and she hasn’t seen her father in over three years. The only dealing she has with him is when he deposits her allowance into a bank account every month. Her father’s lack of interest has hardened Natasha to the rest of the world, leaving her cold and more than a little broken.

When Sam Harker crashes into Natasha’s life, asking questions about her father and dragging up the past, Natasha’s interest in piqued. The more time she spends with him, the more she falls for his easy charm and quick smile.

But Sam has secrets of his own - secrets that threaten their blossoming relationship. And when the real reason for Natasha’s fathers disinterest becomes apparent, a sacrifice must be made. Love, honor and duty collide… risking more than just a broken heart.

Sometimes love is worth the ultimate price.

When Love is Sacrifice.

The novel Sacrifice first appeared in my mind way back at the very end of December. I’d gone over to Ireland to spend the New Year with my mother and brother when the characters of Sam and Natasha first waltzed through my brain.

I’d love to say I was doing something really cool, or interesting but I wasn’t. I sat at the kitchen table watching the dog chase the birds away from the bread we had thrown out to feed them. I wanted to write a story about someone who wasn’t bad but who was forced to do something most would find unforgivable. But of course there had to be a really good reason for why he was doing it… And of course what better reason is there but to help someone you love?

My dad passed away from cancer back in February of 2006. I remembered the feeling of helplessness and the willingness to do anything at all to try and make him better. I’d have sold my own soul to give him his health back. But I couldn’t. And so I gave Sam, my hero, a similar feeling but it was about his mother. I knew he would have done anything to help her, just like me. But what happens when you fall in love? Sam did with Natasha. And it’s that feeling of being torn. The knowledge that you can’t have your cake and eat it. That lies will always catch up with you. And the love of your soulmate has the power to pull you back from the brink of destruction.

What is love, without a little sacrifice?

Writing has always been M.G.Morgan's passion. Love and romance are two of her favourite things to write about. She writes heroes and heroines to fall in love with. She is a crazy cat person. And she loves to curl up in front of the fire with her husband and one true love and watch a scary movie.
