She’s determined to avoid romance and happily ever after. Life has other plans…

Veterinarian Tina Archer is grumpy and proud. Being widowed young from a terrible marriage can do that to a person. But she’s been living life to the fullest and isn’t a bit sorry.

Until a routine medical exam reveals the toll her freedom-loving lifestyle—and the stress that comes with being a single mom—has taken on her health.

She knows it’s time for a life makeover and she’ll do what needs to be done.

But when her son’s Big Brother program matches him with the annoyingly charming Clark, everything gets really complicated. Because how is she supposed to handle a man who seems so eager to knock down all the walls she’s built around her heart?

All Tina knows for sure is that it’ll take a lot of soul searching—and help from her friends—to figure out if a second chance at love is worth the potential cost.

She can only hope Clark will still be around when she sorts it (and herself) out…

Harbor by the Sea

Cape Avalon Book 3

No one talks about what happens when happily ever after goes wrong…

Fall in love, get married, have babies. It was a simple dream.

Evelyn accomplished the first two easily. She almost had it all.

Almost.

But after three years of aggressive fertility treatments, all she had to show for her efforts was a broken heart and a painful rift in her marriage. She’d hoped that a dream vacation to the south of France would heal her and her relationship with her husband.

Then Eric suggested she go alone, and she started to question everything.

Did he want a divorce? Or did he just need a break from their shared grief? Evelyn wasn’t sure. All she knew was that if she wanted to find a way to reconnect with Eric, she had to learn to love herself again.

And what better place to do that than a harbor by the sea?

Harbor by the Sea is a sweet, angsty, romantic, contemporary women’s fiction read about hope, the importance of finding one’s own joy, and the enduring power of love. Download today and get ready to root for Evelyn and Eric’s second chance romance.

I learned to read when I was four or five, listening to my mother read to me when I was lonely after my brother started school. Ever since, I’ve had my head buried in books. I love words – historical plaques, signs, the cereal box – but my first love has always been novels.

A little over ten years ago my husband dared me to write a book instead of always reading them. I didn’t think I’d be able to do it, but to my surprise I love writing. Those early efforts eventually became my first published book – Tempting the Earl (published by Avalon Books in 2010). It has been a thrilling adventure as I learned to navigate the world of publishing.

I believe firmly that everyone deserves a happily ever after. I want my readers to be able to escape from the everyday for a little while and feel upbeat and refreshed when they get to the end of my books.

When not reading or writing, I can be found traipsing around my neighborhood or travelling the world with my favorite companion.

RECIPE AND 99¢ SALE

 

By Caroline Clemmons

Perhaps you’ve noticed I’ve participated in numerous multi-author series over the years. One that proved less like a series and more like a single title was CHARLOTTE’S CHALLENGE. In this sweet western historical romance, widowed Charlotte Dunn struggles to save her ranch from a vicious neighbor.

Usually in a multi-author series, the releases are set in a clearly defined time schedule with the series’ authors cross-promoting each release for multiple benefit. Something went wrong with this series and that didn’t happen. So, poor Charlotte has sat on the book shelf all alone. Bless her heart.

Now you have a chance to rescue her from loneliness by taking advantage of this limited time 99¢ sale. I believe it’s a good story that you’ll enjoy.

Here’s the blurb:

A widow determined to save the family ranch…

A man who inherited cursed pirate gold…

They must combine efforts to defeat an evil man.

 

Bret Craig is a wealthy descendant of one of the crew of The Golden Fleece. Over a century ago the merchant ship had prevailed against pirates carrying a treasure of cursed Inca gold. The legacy promises retribution against anyone who misuses the treasure. Bret has heard the story all his life, but he believes the tale is a myth and that he’s in no danger if he spends the money selfishly. Ignoring his sister’s warning, he sets out for a grand adventure heading west.

Widowed former mail-order bride Charlotte Dunn is in danger of losing her family's ranch. She lost her husband to a rustler’s bullet when the rustlers stole half her cattle and killed both ranch hands. When she and her stepsons rescue a man who fell from his horse, they soon learn the man has amnesia. From his saddlebags, they discover his name is Bret Craig. Charlotte nurses Bret, manages the ranch, and cares for her three stepchildren she loves. No sooner does Bret regain his memory than they learn the remainder of the herd has been rustled. Bret must reconsider his priorities, especially in light of the romance gently blossoming between Charlotte and him.

Can Charlotte and Bret save the ranch and recover the stolen cattle?

This time of year, I crave comfort food. One of my favorites is the following recipe given by a great cook at our church.

Corn Casserole

(also called Corn Pudding)

 

1 can creamed style corn

1 can whole kernel corn, drained

3 eggs

1 cup milk

1 stick butter (1/4 pound)

2 Tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon salt

½ cup corn meal

1 small can chopped green chillies

1 small onion, minced

 

Place stick of butter in the casserole dish or pan. Place in a 250 degree F oven, just until the butter is melted. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, slightly beat the eggs; add all the ingredients and mix. Pour into the hot butter and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

 Stay safe and keep reading!

 

Faking the Fall by Libby Kay

 

 

Sparks fly when a reclusive artist meets his muse in this new installment of the Buckeye Falls series.

Faking the Fall

A Buckeye Falls Novel #4

by Libby Kay

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Sparks fly when a reclusive artist meets his muse in this new installment of the Buckeye Falls series.

Alice Snyder knows her reputation—and if she didn’t, Buckeye Falls loves to remind her. She may come from the town’s First Family, but that doesn’t mean she plays by the rules. After a decade of traveling and going to school, she’s back home and ready to settle down, or at least relax for a while. The trouble is, her neighbors are determined to find her a husband. She needs a way to get them off her back…

When James Gibson, a divorced artist, flees New York for the peace of small-town Ohio, he’s excited to get painting again. The only trouble is, he’s completely blocked. Despite his best efforts, his collection of canvases are blank and he’s at a career crossroads. A chance meeting with the mayor’s sister throws James’s routine off balance, and he’s eager to spend more time with this quirky spitfire.

And Alice might have the solution to both their problems…

Fake Date.

She gets the Nosey Nellies off her back, and James gets time with a woman who inspires him both inside and outside the studio.

Just a few weeks of pretending, and they’ll move on. Simple, right? The trouble is the more time they spend together, the realer their relationship feels. The laughter, the stolen kisses—it all starts to feel like more.

Can these two be honest with each other and find their happily-ever-after, or are they doomed for a real breakup?

Libby Kay’s FAKING THE FALL redeems Buckeye Falls’s spinster troublemaker with a fake relationship romance filled with sweet small town vibes. FAKING THE FALL will bring to mind amazing books like Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams and Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey. But best of all, it returns readers to the small Ohio town and the familiar characters from the previous Buckeye Falls books. All the zany, overbearing, and well-meaning ones! So sit back and grab FAKING THE FALL for the latest roller-coaster romance by Libby Kay.
