Now he’s back to help his buddy get married, and he hopes to find peace on the family farm, with Mallory by his side…


When the wedding planning kicks into high gear, Beckett and Mallory are thrust together as maid of honor and best man.

Rubbing the back of his neck, Beckett felt his muscles relax at her presence. Mallory had this 

amazing ability to calm him down while simultaneously causing him to burn with lust. 

For a moment, neither of them spoke. The sound of cicadas in the night air surrounded them, 

their nightly song echoing through Buckeye Falls. Mallory finally cleared her throat and gestured 

with the box toward the door. “Can I come in?” 

“Erm, yeah.” Beckett stepped back and held the door open for her, catching a whiff of her 

perfume as she slunk inside. Mallory always smelled like summertime: sweet and tangy like a handful 

of blackberries. 

Mallory took a few paces inside and looked around. Beckett said a silent prayer of thanks that he 

had the forethought to start unpacking. It was a mess, but at least it looked like his mess. “Cute.” She 

said the word with a small smile, plopping the box on top of the coffee table. 

She turned like she was going to leave, her presence not required beyond the delivery. 

Instinctively, Beckett blocked the way, letting the door close behind him on a soft click. “Where are 

you going?” he asked, his pulse kicking up at the idea that he wouldn’t see her for more than another 

moment. 

Shrugging, Mallory pointed to the door. “Home?” 

Before he could think better of it, Beckett blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Stay. 

Have dinner with me.” 

Mallory didn’t respond at first, but he didn’t miss the flush that crept up her neck. “You want to 

have dinner with me?” 

“Yes?” he replied, although it was far from a question. Beckett wanted Mallory to stay as long as 

she liked—for dinner or the rest of her life. He wasn’t picky.

LET AUDIBLE READ YOU A STORY!



By Caroline Clemmons

 What an exciting age in which we live! We can read by picking up a paper book, read on our e-reader or phone, or plug in our earbuds and listen to someone else read to us. 



I’m excited to announce all but five of my books are now available at Audible for your listening pleasure—and I’m working to get those five available on Audible, too.

Many of my friends listen to audiobooks while they commute, others listen while they’re doing onerous chores, and others—like me—listen as they relax at home. Whatever you choose, I hope you’ll give my audiobooks a try!

If you’re new to audiobooks, there’s a FREE trial to introduce you to Audible. Free is my favorite price.

Each of my latest series, the Texas Hill Country Mail Order Brides, is available on Audible. The voice I chose for these books is female. Especially JESSE AND THE MAIL ORDER BRIDE includes a great deal in the heroine’s point of view, so that seemed most appropriate. Only four of my other books are narrated by a male.

For those who don’t know, my husband has Parkinson’s and has been in and out of the hospital the past year. In addition, I was in the hospital also due to a very persistent UTI and have been hounded by several other pesky medical problems. Hence, I have taken far too long to complete SIDNEY’s story. It’s a fun book and I promise to have it finished this summer.



This series’ books are stand alone. Because the characters are recurring, the series is more enjoyable, in my opinion, if read in chronological order. This is GENTRY, JESSE, QUINN, LEVI, KEITH, and the one I’m currently working on (slowly) SIDNEY. So, start with GENTRY.

Find these books at the Amazon series page: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=texas+hill+country+mail+order+bride+series&i=stripbooks&crid=3L744R8MPMECO&sprefix=texas+hill+country+mail+order+bride+series%2Cstripbooks%2C99&ref=nb_sb_noss

If you’ve read all of this series, pick another of my books and choose the Audiobook. I think you’ll enjoy listening to someone read to you. Each of us deserves a little pampering, right?



 Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and keep reading.

Scooping Up Scandal by Emmie Lyn

 

 



Turning thirty can be murder! 


Scooping Up Scandal

Little Dog Diner Book 7

by Emmie Lyn

Genre: Cozy Mystery

 


Turning thirty can be murder!

When a body is discovered next to the Little Dog Diner on her milestone birthday, Dani Mackenzie finds herself scooping up a scandal instead of cutting cake.

The prime suspect is the new owner of the Blueberry Bay Grapevine, but the victim’s stepbrother and ex-girlfriend also have means, motive, and opportunity.

With this trio of suspects, it will take a good nose to uncover whodunnit. At least Dani has her best friend—her Jack Russell, Pip—at her side to help sniff out the killer! But in the meantime, her kick-off to her thirties is turning into more of an upside-down cake than a celebration as she uncovers money, a business scandal, and thwarted love at the core of this crime.

It will take the victim’s black Labrador and finding a winning lottery ticket to solve this mystery, but Dani never throws in the towel. Will she and Pip once again use their experience at solving mysteries to bring justice to Misty Harbor, Maine, or will they be caught in the crosshairs of the killer?



Amazon * Bookbub * Goodreads

My day off wasn’t supposed to start with a phone call startling me half to death. But it did. I fumbled on the nightstand to silence my ringing phone even before my sleep-deprived brain surfaced through the fog.  “Hello?” I mumbled. The time blinked 5:30 on my watch. Really? Who was making calls at that hour? If I’d been fully awake, I would have checked the caller ID. But you know how it is. I reacted before thinking when caught by surprise. Or when aroused from a deep sleep. Oh, well. Too late to hang up and go back to dreamland. Because an unintelligible whisper came through the phone. Creepy. Awake now and heart pounding from the unknown, I scooched up against the headboard until I was sitting up straight. Was this a crank call before the sun was barely above Maine’s Blueberry Bay? So much for sleeping in on the one day my Little Dog Diner was closed. Pip, my Jack Russell terrier, looked at me with her head cocked as if asking what was going on? I had no more of a clue than she did. I heard my name coming through the phone. “Dani? Dani Mackenzie?” The caller seemed confused as if she wasn’t sure she had the right number. At first, I didn’t recognize the voice.  “Uh-huh?” I said, wishing I’d let it go to voicemail. With my husband Luke out of town for a few days, I knew this wasn’t his deep, rumbling tone, so I was ready to hang up when I realized he wasn’t calling with some kind of emergency.  But then I heard, “It’s Cam. Camilla Carter?” Finally, a name to go with the mystery caller. “The Blueberry Bay Grapevine? I hope I didn’t wake you,” she said low. Why the whisper, I wondered. Was she afraid she’d wake the rest of the neighborhood?  Just then, Pip pushed her head under my arm and knocked the phone loose. When I grabbed it, I hit the speaker button, absently scratching under her ear. Of course, Pip leaned in for more love from me, at the same time Cam’s breathing startled me, amplified now and suddenly sounding like a buzzsaw.  “I’m awake,” I said, hearing the annoyance in my voice. “I’m really sorry, Dani.” Cam paused. “I didn’t know who else to call.” Fair enough, I thought, but her apology did little to soothe my irritation.  “What’s wrong, Cam?” I asked, hoping it was something simple like she’d locked herself out of her office and hoped I had a spare key. I did unless she’d changed the locks. Cam had just bought the weekly Grapevine newspaper from my grandmother, Rose Mackenzie. She’d moved into an apartment over the paper in a building next door to my diner and hadn’t made many friends yet. So, this early morning phone call made sense.  But when she hadn’t broken the silence on her end of the phone, I sat up a bit straighter, curious. “Cam? Are you okay?” She whispered, “It looks like someone’s trying to break into your diner.” That got my attention. “Call the police, Cam. I’m on my way.”

Make It Real by Nan Reinhardt


Make It Real
 by Nan Reinhardt
 https://tulepublishing.com/books/make-it-real/#order

Book Blurb for Make It Real, book 2 in the Walkers of River’s Edge series: 


They were only faking it…. 

A landscape designer for his family’s construction firm, Joe Walker, is nearing completion on one of the most important projects of his career—gardens for spec homes that if they wow, Walker Construction will survive. When a freak accident sidelines him with a broken leg, the firm hires a competitor. Her ideas are radically different, but his stalker ex arrives to play nurse, and Joe needs more than gardening help. 

After six-years working in English manor gardens, horticulturist Kara Sudbury returns to River’s Edge to help in her grandparents’ struggling garden center. She’s thrilled when Jackson Walker hires her to execute his injured cousin’s designs. Ignoring Joe is difficult because he’s as sexy now as he was in high school and even more stubborn. But when Joe asks Kara to play the role of girlfriend, they strike a deal that will help Joe handle his tenacious ex and put Sudbury’s Nursery back in the black. Kara’s up for the subterfuge…for a price, but then the pretense feels real, and Kara is reminded that every rose has its thorns. 

Excerpt: 


The gun went off, the woman screeched, and Joe let out a loud oof, then a groan of pain. He released the gun and lay still, his head, face, neck, and bare chest stinging from the blackberry nettles and his left leg feeling very weird. Scout barked and ran up to him, licking Joe’s cheek and panting dog breath all over him.  

“Did you shoot yourself?” The woman was there, too, stepping carefully through the brush until she was about a foot from him, her smooth, tanned legs only inches from his head. “Oh my God!” When he opened one eye and looked up at her, her face, which was vaguely familiar, had turned from angry to ashen and horrified. “Your leg!” 

The sting of the blackberry thorns had somehow kept him from noticing what was now agonizing pain in his left shin. He started to turn over, but she stooped down and put a dirty gloved hand on his shoulder. “No, don’t move.”  

“My face,” he managed, but it was hard to even speak because of the brambles sticking him everywhere, and shit! Was that poison ivy under his cheek? Inanely, his mind went to a couplet, his cousin Jack had taught him and Cam and Eli years ago—leaves of three, let it be; leaves of five, let it thrive. His glasses were gone, and his eye was blurry, but yep, that was three leaves. No. No. No. “I gotta . . . gotta get up,” he mumbled. “Poison ivy.” 

The woman held him in place. “That’s the least of your problems. Your leg is really messed up.” 

He lifted his head and shoved up with his arms, bringing his upper body out of the brambles, but dropped right back down again as pain shot through his left leg, leaving him nearly breathless. He attempted to peer over his shoulder, but all he could see was his own butt in the slipping-down sleeping shorts. When he tried to move the leg, pain, more excruciating than before, shot through him. 

“Stop moving, will you? Your leg is stuck on a branch sticking out of this log and I can see”—she looked down his body at his lower extremities and her pallor grew even grayer—“oh crap, I can see a bone sticking out of your shin.” She plopped down next to him, heedless of the poisonous plants covering the ground, and pulled her phone out of her shorts pocket. “I’m calling 911.” 

“You just sat in poison ivy,” he ground out, lifting his head again and biting the inside of his cheek to keep from adding idiot. He was pretty sure he owed her one. But on the other hand, he also needed some help here. 

“It doesn’t bother me. I never get it.” She raked her fingers through her hair as she spoke to emergency services, relating what she believed happened, making him sound like a colossal dumbass as she speculated to the dispatcher that she thought he might have shot himself.  

“I didn’t shoot myself,” he said as loudly as he could, given he’d dropped his face back on the ground because even the slightest movement sent red-hot fire through his leg and up into his thigh. 

“Yeah, he says he’s not shot, but his leg . . . man, it’s pretty awful. Not bleeding too badly, but there’s a sharp piece of a stick stuck in his calf and his shin’s broken for sure”—she gulped—“I can see the bone. No, no, I won’t touch it. God, no!” She looked down at him. “What’s your address?”  

He moaned, his mind a blank. 

“It’s on Fourth Street behind Sudbury’s Nursery. Maybe the 2900 block?” she said into her phone. 

“It’s 2917,” Joe managed. 

“It’s 2917,” she repeated for the dispatcher, paused to listen, then asked, “What’s your name?” 

“Joe Walker.” That came out stronger, but the effort exhausted him. 

“Oh, crap! Joey? Joey Walker?” She bent her head to peer down at him, and her eyes, which were an unusual golden-brown color, were huge.

The Cost of Love by Sharon C. Cooper

 

 


A marriage of convenience was not exactly what he had in mind...


The Cost of Love

Jenkins & Sons Construction Series Book 6

by Sharon C. Cooper

Genre: Contemporary Romance 



A marriage of convenience was not exactly what he had in mind when he vowed she’d one day be his.

Antonio Jenkins is resigned to being a bachelor for life. Everyone around him is getting their happily ever after, leaving him without hope of ever finding his special someone. Until he meets Scarlett. He instantly knows she’s the one for him. Yet proving it to her is going to be the biggest battle of his life.

Single mom Scarlett Rowsey craves that toe-curling, heart-stopping, undeniable love she’s seen in the movies. But history has shown her it’s impossible. She’s incapable of falling in love. However, everything changes when she learns her daughter, Bella, might be in danger. There’s nothing Scarlett wouldn’t do to protect her—even marry someone she may never love. Antonio is everything she longs for in a man—kind, gentle, and protective. Still, Scarlett fears she might crush his heart in the end.

For Antonio, a marriage of convenience is a small price to pay to love and protect the woman of his dreams. But will Scarlett lower her guard enough to see this arrangement as more than a transaction?

*Books in the Jenkins & Sons Construction series can be read as standalones.


Amazon * Apple * B&N * Kobo * Smashwords * Bookbub * Goodreads


The lust radiating in his dark orbs sent warmth rushing through her body. Their attraction to one another was definitely on the rise, and Scarlett was curious about whether he’d make a move on her. 

Did he want to kiss her, touch her, and explore her body as much as she wanted to do to him? She wasn’t sure, but if his heated gaze was any indication, he was thinking along those lines. 

“Show me your room,” she said, her voice low and seductive, though that hadn’t been her intent. 

His eyebrows shot up in surprise, but then a slow smile crept across his sensual lips. “Right this way.” 

As they headed in that direction, giddiness bubbled inside of Scarlett, and she almost laughed out loud at herself. She felt like a kid on Christmas morning, anxious to see what presents Santa had in store for her. She was acting as if getting a tour of his bedroom was code for rendezvous, kissing, and hot, sweaty sex. When in fact, Antonio probably only planned to walk her around the space and point out the changes that he’d made since buying the house. 

They moved slower than necessary with each other, unsure of how to proceed or even if they wanted to. Considering how she’d kept him at a distance the last few months, Scarlett might have to make the first move. 

They reached the master bedroom at the end of the hallway, and she stepped into it and glanced around. Like the rest of the house, the bedroom was bright and airy, and it gave her that warm, cuddly feeling like a cashmere sweater on a chilly day. The room was double the size of the other two, with large, dark masculine furniture that contrasted with the brightly painted walls but together it worked. 

When she turned back to Antonio, he was standing with his shoulder propped against a nearby wall and his muscular arms folded across his chest. He watched her intently, and his smoldering gaze only added to his sexiness. 

The man was just too fine. He seemed so cool and comfortable in his skin, and he was tempting as hell. 

Scarlett approached him, her gaze volleying between his eyes and his mouth. She was never bold when it came to asking for what she wanted from a man, but this man was different. With Antonio, she felt comfortable, and she knew he would never deny her anything. 

“Remember when you said I can kiss you anytime?” she said as she stood before him. 

Antonio straightened. “I remember.” 

He slid his arm around her waist and crushed her against his hard body. His touch ignited like liquid fire against the bare skin between the band of her sports bra and the waistband of her pants. 

Goodness, this man had her all twisted up inside—in a good way. She loved that, though he came across as a little grumpy and introverted, he definitely wasn’t shy. 

Scarlett gasped and her pulse accelerated when he suddenly turned her and backed her against the bedroom door. She hadn’t even noticed it was closed, and the moment his mouth covered hers, she didn’t care about anything but him.

Gentry and the Mail Order Bride by Caroline Clemmons


Gentry and the Mail Order Bride
by Caroline Clemmons

I am hard at work on book seven of this series.  While each book stands alone, it is more fun to read them in order.  Gentry is in Kindle Unlimited or you can buy it.  Once you start the series you will find they are like potato chips -- you can't read just one!

 Book 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.
