February
7-14, 2014 is Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) Awareness Week. Congenital heart
defects are America’s number one birth defect. One out of 100 babies in the
United States are born with a CHD. That’s 40,000 CHD babies every year in this
country and over 1,000,000 world-wide. CHD is the number one cause of all birth
defect related deaths. More than 50% of those born with a CHD will require at
least one invasive surgery in their lifetime. 20% of them will not survive
their first year of life. *
But the good
news is that in the last decade death rates for congenital heart defects have
declined by almost 30% due to medical advances made through research.*
So, more CHD kids have a chance to grow to adulthood and live normal or
near-normal lives. And that is good news for people like me who hope and pray
for these medical advances and the doctors and surgeons who will use them to
give our CHD kids a fighting chance.
As a
romance author, I believe it is my mission to bring happily-ever-after to every
situation, but for children and adults who live with the uncertain future of a congenital
heart defect, I wanted to write a romance with a real-life happy ending for all
of them. Captivating
the CEO is dedicated to “everyone who lives with a congenital heart
defect, and those who care for and love them.”

He only plans for the future. She might not have
a future.
When
live-for-the-moment massage therapist Willow Jeffries bursts into Colin
Vanderhayden's office, she makes it her mission to loosen up the future-focused
CEO, knowing each moment of the present is too precious to waste. Despite her
immediate attraction, the only future she can offer is one full of heartache.
The last
thing Colin needs is a flighty woman messing up his carefully-constructed
plans, but her heavenly massages and addictive personality prove hard to
resist. But he has no idea how sick she is.
No longer
able to ignore her life-threatening medical condition, Willow slips away to
spare Colin a miserable future with her. Is Colin willing to sacrifice his
well-laid future plans to get Willow back?
