Shower of Stars
by Nancy Herkness

In Shower of Stars, two unlikely lovers find that the brightest star in the night sky is only a glimmer compared to the blaze that burns in their hearts...

Charlotte "Charlie" Berglund wants a child—desperately. When her adoption caseworker concludes that being an adventure travel writer is not compatible with single parenthood, Charlie must rethink her profession. She decides to write a book about New York's hottest new celebrity: Jack Lanett, meteorite hunter extraordinaire.

Jack hates being front-page news but he's found what may be the most valuable space rock in the world: a potentially life-bearing meteorite from Mars. Publicity will drive up the price so he agrees to one disastrous interview.

Whether stargazing in the hills of Pennsylvania or rubbing shoulders with the social elite of Manhattan, Charlie and Jack find a passion neither one expected.

A Bridge to Love

Nancy Herkness' Bio

I realized that long-held ambition with my debut novel A Bridge to Love, published as part of the Berkley Sensation launch in August 2003. I was born and raised in the mountains of West Virginia. I graduated from Princeton University with a degree in English. In addition to my academic work in English literature, I was accepted into Princeton's Creative Writing Program, and my senior thesis was a volume of original poetry. Working first in retailing and then in data processing, I finally took the plunge: I quit my job and composed a romance novel. I put my literary career on hold when my first child was born. Once my youngest child was settled in first grade, I returned to the word processor and wrote A Bridge to Love. A member of Romance Writers of America and New Jersey Romance Writers, I also write book reviews, press releases and newsletters. I live in suburban New Jersey with my husband, two children and a golden retriever.
