Book excerpt: A chance meeting at a wedding nearly six years ago leaves a lasting impression on Ashley Landon and Brad Donaldson. An age difference and a considerable distance separate the two smitten professionals. Now, given a bit more time to explore their infatuation, both Ashley and Brad find themselves enjoying a whirlwind romance with a hard and fast deadline. A misplaced letter leads to more distance as they find themselves at cross purposes. Two lovely people who seem to easily bring joy to others' lives find themselves falling away from each other while also falling in love. Can Ashley fill the void with her highly rewarding new job, and can Brad fill the hole in his heart by writing his letters to Ashley? Romance writer, Lisa Smelter, treats her readers to this, her fifth volume in her Love in Litton series, Letters to Ashley.
