White Picket Fences is a heartfelt family drama fueled by an honest story of motherhood, written for those of us caught up in our own self-searching journeys. The one thing Julie Cahill knows because of her transitory upbringing as a military brat is that she never had a hometown. So she has made sure her kids would grow up in one forever home, in a forever neighborhood, with lots of forever friends. Yet her dream of a permanent hometown has her feeling fenced in.

Set in the Delaware Bay area, Julie has achieved her dreams but struggles with having to accept invisibility, underappreciation, and being taken for granted by her family in trade for her unconditional love. Her guilt over not being available for her family on that one fateful day has her challenging karma by tightening her grip on her daughters and husband, ultimately pushing them away.

Bullets and Dandelions by Gail Koger

 

 


It’s 1990, women snipers are unheard of & Tess Reynold’s mission In the Middle East just got complicated. She has a rogue CIA agent on her trail, and her life depends on trusting a hot, but infuriating Force Recon Marine.


Bullets and Dandelions

A Deputy Gemma Stone Prequel

by Gail Koger

Genre: Action, Comedy, Romance 



My name is Tess Reynolds, and I’ll admit few people would think I’m a badass Army sniper called the Scorpion. Afterall, women snipers were unheard of in 1990. People look at me and see a petite blonde who is cute as a button. My father calls it my natural camouflage.

My time in the Middle East has been full of unforeseen complications. I have a rogue CIA agent trying to kill me and I caught the attention of a Force Recon Marine by the name of Alexander Stone. Wowzer! He’s hot but he’s also the biggest jackass I have ever met. To make things even more interesting, I need the Jackass’s help to stay alive.

This novella is the prequel to the Gemma Stone series. How it all began.

Pain and the need to pee woke me up. I sat up and looked around groggily. Where was I? 

“What do you need?” 

  I stared up at Sergeant Stone. “Bathroom.” 

 Stone held out his hand. “I’ll show you the way.” 

  “Okay.” I took his hand and blinked in confusion. All I was wearing was a baggy green tee shirt. “Where are my pants?” 

“They were covered in blood.”  He led me across a hallway and opened a door. 

 “Oh.” I frowned and pointed. “That’s a urinal.” 

“Yes, it is.” 

  “Why are we in the men’s restrooms? I’m a girl.” 

  “That you are.” Grinning, Stone guided me over to a stall and opened the door. “In you go.” 

“No peeking.” I shut the door. 

“No, ma’am.” 

I sat on the toilet and did my business. “Are you laughing at me?” 

“No, ma’am.” 

“Why are you ma’aming me?” 

“Because you’re high on morphine and too damn cute.” 

Was he being nice to me? No way. I pulled off some toilet paper and stared at it for a moment. “Well, stop it.” 

 “Are you done, soldier?” 

I wiped myself. “Yes.” I stood, flushed the toilet and pulled up my panties. Wait a minute. These weren’t my panties. 

“Open the door, Tess.” 

I did as he asked. “These aren’t my panties.” I yanked up my tee shirt. “See?”   

His grin got bigger. “We got you fresh underwear.” 

“Why?” 

  “Because your clothes were covered in blood.” 

  “Oh.” I sat on the floor. “Tired.” I laid down. 

  “No, you don’t.” Stone scooped me up. “You need to take your pills.” 

“Don’t wanna.” I laid my head against his shoulder. “Promise you won’t let him kill me.” 

“I promise.” Stone sat me on a bed. “Open your mouth.” 

“What if I have bad breath?” 

“You don’t.” 

“You sure about that?” 

  “I am. Now take your pills.”   

 I opened my mouth. 

Stone dropped two pills on my tongue and handed me a bottle of water. “Swallow them and you can have some chocolate.” 

“Okay.” I washed the pills down. “Where’s my chocolate?” 

“In my backpack. I’ll get it.” 

  A wave of weariness rolled over me. The minute my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.

Howdy. My name is Gail Koger and once upon a time I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Too many years of wild requests, screwy questions, bizarre behavior and outrageous demands have left me with a permanent twitch and an uncontrollable craving for chocolate. I took up writing science fiction romance to keep from killing people. So far, it has worked.

Gentry Is On Sale by Caroline Clemmons

 


Gentry and the Mail Order Bride
Book 1 of the Texas Hill Country Mail Order Bride Series
by Caroline Clemmons
In Kindle Unlimited

The cold days of winter are a good time to curl up and read a book.  Gentry, the first book in my Texas Hill Country Mail Order Bride Series, is on sale this weekend for just $0.99.  Gentry and the other five books in the series are sweet romances set in the time after the Civil War.  Families are trying to find each other after the horrors of war destroyed homes and lives.  Thoughts turn toward marrying and starting a family.  Many people set out for Texas.  Some of them end up in Harrington Springs.

Gentry Blurb:

Nothing much riles Gentry McRae. He works hard on the ranch he co-owns with his best friend, and is content with his life. He’s proud of all they’ve accomplished in the ten years since the war. That is, until his partner dies and leaves his half of the ranch to his mail-order bride—and wills the bride to Gentry. “Now just a doggone minute, I don’t plan to marry for years!” But, a single woman can’t reside on a ranch where four men live without ruining her reputation. What’s a good man to do, except marry the woman when she arrives?


Heidi Roth has been spurned for being too plainspoken and too tall. In addition, her sister constantly makes fun of her for those reasons. That’s why—with many doubts—she’s willing to travel for months from Bavaria to Texas to marry a man who once lived in her town. When she arrives, she learns her prospective groom is dead, but left her his share of a ranch. She has serious doubts, but agrees to wed Gentry to protect her reputation. Sure enough, from the next day, one event after the other happens to complicate her life—yet she is happy. Until she sees the will and learns they are not equal partners as Gentry had led her to believe.

Sometimes the perfect match is the one you didn’t expect.
