Emily March has long been a favorite of mine, both for the historical and romantic suspense novels she wrote as Geralyn Dawson and the wonderful, heartfelt contemporaries she's now writing as Emily March. But, beyond the books, she's also a woman I admire for her work on behalf of homeless animals. (For more information about Emily and the work she does with animals, read my interview with her here.) If you read her Eternity Springs series, you'll see her love of animals shining through in the rescue dogs that play an important part in the stories she writes.
This month, as legions of college basketball fans gear up for the NCAA Tournament, also known as March Madness, Emily is hosting her own version of March Madness. Partnering with some of her writing buddies (Christina Dodd, Karen Hawkins, Kristan Higgins, Jayne Ann Krentz, Susan Mallery, Teresa Medeiros, Lori Wilde and more), Emily will give away one book each day from March 1 - 31. At the end of the month, one name will be drawn to receive a $500 donation to the animal rescue organization of their choice. Emily will also make a $500 donation to Legacy Boxer Rescue in Dallas/Ft. Worth, the organization for whom she fosters dogs.

Eternity Springs - Book 4
By Emily March
Publisher: Random House
Release Date: December 27, 2012
Twenty years ago the town bad boy, Cam Murphy, left Eternity Springs in handcuffs, riding in the back of a sheriff’s van . . . and breaking young Sarah Reese’s heart. The defiant teenager vowed never to return.
In Australia, Cam makes a new beginning. He builds a successful business and suffers few regrets until Sarah—and their daughter—walk into his life, and then immediately run away. Realizing it’s time to right yesterday’s wrongs, he follows Sarah home to Colorado—and turns her world upside down.
Cam wants to know his daughter. He needs to prove to Sarah, the town, and himself that he’s changed. Will the residents of Eternity Springs offer forgiveness—and will Sarah have the courage to trust this man who is asking for a second chance?
