THIRD GIVEAWAY  The war years are behind them. The future is before them. And one by one, the widows of Lyttlefield Park are getting restless . . . Lady Charlotte Cavendish is still the spirited girl who tried to elope in the name of love. That dream was thwarted by her father who trapped her into a loveless, passionless marriage. But now widowed, Charlotte is free to reenter the giddy world of the ton—and pursue her desires. For hardly your typical widow, she remains innocent to the pleasures of the flesh. Yet her life is finally her own, and she intends to keep it that way . . . Nash, the twelfth Earl of Wrotham, is beguiled by Charlotte at first sight—and the feeling is mutual. When he receives her intriguing invitation to a house party, the marriage-minded lord plans to further their acquaintance. But even he cannot sway her aversion to matrimony, and only with great restraint does he resist her most tempting offer. For unbeknownst to Charlotte, the misadventures of the past are revisiting them both, and bedding her could cost him everything—or give him everything he ever wanted . . .

Before her eyes could adjust, he wrapped his arms around her, squeezing her against his granite-hard chest. When his hot mouth found hers, she gasped—she should have known he would try something like this. He darted his tongue through her open lips and she squealed, then quieted. The last thing she wanted was for someone to find them so engaged. His hands cradled her head as he explored every inch of her mouth with a gentle thoroughness she had not known for years. Had anyone ever kissed her thus? With an intensity designed to kindle flames in her soul? Perhaps Edward, but that had been so long ago, she’d forgotten how good it felt, except… That blasted cologne of his! That thought broke the spell and she pushed Mr. Garrett away from her. He panted as if he had run a race. “Devil take it, are you trying to get us thrown out, Charlotte?” “Me?” Her voice rose and she stopped and lowered it. “You’re the one trying to ruin my reputation, and do not call me Charlotte; I haven’t given you permission.” “After that little interlude, I don’t need permission,” he grinned at her in the faulty light. “You can’t deny you enjoyed it.” “I can and do deny it.” She pressed her hand to her chest, where her heart still hammered. She hadn’t enjoyed it. Not really. But it had been exciting. More exciting than anything in her life for the past six years. Pray God he couldn’t see her face. It must be the color of ripe cherries. “Methinks ‘the lady doth protest too much.’ May I call upon you tomorrow?” He grabbed her hand and placed his lips on the palm. The kiss burned even through the glove. “I don’t think that would be wise for either of us.” She must hold on to what little sanity was left to her. His eyes darkened and he ran his finger over her swollen lips. “Allow me to be the judge of what is wise, my dear. Come, I will escort you to Lady John before we are lost entirely.” He took her hand, stuck his head around the doorframe, then pulled her quickly into the room. Blinking in the suddenly bright lights, she stumbled after him as he made his way toward her cousin.  AUTHOR INFORMATION:

They work hard, care for their animals and respect the women in their lives. Now I'm not saying there aren't some wonderful men who are not cowboys because I've married one... but when you think of someone who is willing to go all out for someone, a man with a horse will always sway me! EXCERPT: “I thought it might be you. Out on a night like this.” Lenora felt herself flush. It was almost as if she had conjured Clay from the very darkness of her overactive imagination. Careful with those fantasies, she cautioned herself. “Yes, well. It seemed as if the air had lost some of the winter feel. And I couldn’t sleep,” she said. She purposefully kept her tone light. “Me neither.” Lenora laced her fingers through Major’s mane and looked at the shadow that was Clay. “Can you ride him bareback?” Clay asked. “Yes, of course,” Lenora replied. “Wanna go up into the hills? Just a little?” His voice was definitely intimate as he stepped towards her. “Yes.” She had not thought about her answer before the quick reply left her lips. It was so true though, she wanted nothing more than to just ride into the secret, starry night with this man. He gentled one of the mares turned out in Major’s pasture and slipped a halter over her head. He came over to Lenora who led her own horse to the corral gate and used it to mount. She saw a flash of white teeth in the dark and then watched him vault onto his mare’s back. He landed so gently upon the horse she barely flicked an ear. Then he opened the gate from horseback and they were loose in the night. “Show off,” Lenora said. She heard him laugh and saw a flash of teeth again. The sky was a blanket of thick darkness, rich in its depth and heavy with stars so bright they lit the earth below. Lenora breathed in mountain air and felt a deep-seated knot between her shoulder blades release. She really had no idea she had even been carrying tension. Her life— her past life in Chicago— was slipping away one knot at a time. BLURB: After the death of her mother and end to her troubled marriage, Lenora Ranvier is feeling more alone than ever before. She takes her aunt and uncle up on their offer to come and live on their failing cattle ranch in the Montana Mountains. Lenora hopes to grieve and start over but has no plans to fall in love again. All that changes the moment she meets Clay Darkhorse, Lakota cowboy and foreman of Bear Dance Ranch. Clay knows Lenora is the woman for him as soon as he sees her climb out of her pickup truck, exhausted and beautiful. He slowly wins over Lenora by taking her on long night horseback rides into the starry mountains but both Lenora and Clay have past traumas to heal before they can freely love again. Joining forces they convert the ranch from a struggling cattle operation into a swanky guest resort. But Lenora and Clay must learn to trust each other if they are to share a love as true and strong as the mountains in which they live. Now Available |

Arav is a billionaire who is used to getting his way. Sexy and single, women fall all over him. But when his company faces its toughest challenge, he learns the way he used to do things, might not be the best way to win.
Startup Fiance balances the world of technology with Native India as Arav and Nisha set out to find common ground between the two feuding tech leaders. However, it's the secondary characters who are sure to delight as they keep their own agenda rather than going along with what is asked of them.
Blurb:
Sometimes Love Can Be Arranged.
Arav Shetty had it all. The handsome, self-made billionaire topped the list of New York’s most eligible bachelors and sat at the helm of the city’s biggest tech empire. He also had a plan - buy out the brilliant upstart nipping at his heels, and dominate as the biggest and best tech company in New York.
The strategy had worked for him in the past. He had the resources and skills to pull it off. And, he was determined to overcome his father’s dark legacy, and prove he had what it took to stay on top. Nothing would distract him from his goal. He’d buy out his biggest rival but the company’s owner, Nisha Jain wasn’t the pushover he believed.
Nisha Jain had a plan, too. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, her early years had been a carefully scripted fairy tale. She was determined to make everyone sit up and notice when she achieved stupendous success - without her father's money or brand influence. She knew she was on the right path when her biggest competitor wanted to meet with her.
But when they met, nothing went as planned.
Neither expected the instant spark of attraction, nor the hurtful words tossed around like confetti. With meddling family members and an arranged marriage thrown into the mix, the fate of both companies - and Arav and Nisha’s undeniable attraction – hung precariously. What was supposed to be a cakewalk became more complicated than either ever imagined.
Compromises needed to be made. But between a billionaire whose life work is on the line and an heiress out to prove her own worth, who would blink first?

Have you ever listened to a singer and fell in love with the music? What pulled you to their song? The lyrics or the singer?
Grea Warner, author of the Country Roads Series, has taken John Denver and wove his songs through the series beginning with Country Roads. Lara and Finn were college friends (or frienemies). The sizzle between them flew to arguments or kisses. But many years passed and they'd both gone their separate ways until Finn's nephew suggests Finn do a fundraising event at Lara's school. This time sparks will fly!
EXCERPT:
The stomach rumblings and slight cloudiness in my head signified the definite nerves and uncertainty of telling someone. But they were mixed in with possibility—the possibility of being just a little free.
His return was within only a couple minutes. “Sorry ‘bout that.” He used his defined arms to help position himself on the ledge next to me.
“Who was it? One of the girls from every city?” I used my go-to sarcasm.
He ignored it. “It was my dad. He said he forgot to tell you thanks for the watermelon trick.”
I couldn’t help but give a short snort. And then, “The stars really are spectacular.” It was a natural stall, but I didn’t really need it. I was ready. “If you really want to know why I’m the way I am, I’ll tell you, Finn. But it’s not a pretty story, and if you don’t want to hear it, that’s okay. It’s just seeing you again, I don’t know, I realize how much I’ve changed and have gotten past it, and maybe I shouldn’t be so ashamed. Maybe it will help to tell someone.”
He spoke with conviction. “I’m here. You tell me what you want.”
I looked into his eyes, those honest gray eyes, for a long moment, just to reassure myself that this was the thing to do. A wash of calmness spread through my body. I felt at peace with my decision.
BLURB:
A young woman content with her solitary life.
A rising country music star.
They were friends once …until their lives took them down separate roads.
Now, years later, when a child volunteers his uncle to sing for a fundraiser, LARA FAULKNER realizes it is none other than her college pal, FINN MURPHY. As the two get a chance to reconnect, Lara reveals to a compassionate Finn details of her shocking past and the traumatic decision she had to make.
Through trust and love, the bond between Finn and Lara deepens as the country singer manages to get an emotionally scarred Lara to let down her self-proclaimed walls. But will secrets, lies, and tragedy cause a bumpy detour on their road to complete happiness?
Emotional, dramatic, heartwarming… fall in love with COUNTRY ROADS – the first in a continuing series by author Grea Warner.

Lessons from Wabbaseka
By Liza O’Connor
How this story came to be:
Many years ago, my great aunt and uncle heard that I had lost my job. They immediately wrote and told me to come live with them. I was overwhelmed by their kindness, but I reminded them there were no jobs in Wabbaseka (population 300).
I assured them that I would find a new job in either NJ or Manhattan, which I did. But still, I pondered what would it have been like if l had gone to live with them. Thus, being an after-work author, I wrote a ‘what if’ story, featuring my wonderful great aunt and uncle. I never tried to publish it while they were alive, but upon finding and reading it last year, I decided to publish it. The only thing that is true to reality are my Aunt and Uncle. The rest is a bizarre ‘what if’ story I created from my imagination.

Blurb
When Anna Baker is fired from her New York job, she accepts her aunt and uncle’s offer to come live with them in the little town of Wabbaseka, Arkansas. She discovers a house in dire need of repairs and her relatives in need of proper care. Under the misconception that being unemployed means she has no money, the local sheriff gets involved in her life, trying to determine how she can afford the building materials to fix up the house. Her cousin, Dewayne, appears and wants her evicted, and the FBI thinks she’s involved in a money-laundering scheme. While Anna doesn’t find the peace and quiet she seeks, she may find love…
Excerpt
Juicy Gossip
Sheriff Carr was enjoying his morning coffee and paper at Leon’s Diner when Mr. Kaufman, the postman, sat down across from him. “Mind some company, sheriff?”
“Not at all,” Carr replied, knowing by the excited expression on the fellow’s face, he had some juicy gossip of ill-doings to report. While the postmaster’s propensity to confess the town’s sins was excessive and no doubt in bad manners, it certainly made Carr’s job easier.
“Have ya heard the Larrington’s have a niece living with them now?”
“I noticed a Subaru in their driveway,” he said, giving Kaufman just enough so the man would feel obliged to top it with his own findings.
“She’s a yankee from New York City.”
“Her license plate says New Jersey.”
“Don’t know nothing ’bout that, but I know she was some big-wig in New York City until she lost everything and came running back here to live off the Larringtons.”
Carr had already heard the story about her spending her last dollar on a fishing pole. “Well, I expect the Larringtons are pleased with the company and assistance.”
Kaufman’s eyes beamed with excitement. “I think she may be too assisting if ya know what I mean.”
“Can’t say I do. Is there something I should know?”
“Only that she’s hired a carpenter to fix the roof.”
“Glad to hear it.”
“Yeah, but how could she afford it when she can’t even afford a fishing pole? The Larringtons told Ethel who told Maxine the supplies are spares, which Jeremy Adams had and he’s doing the work for free while she watches his little girl.”
Carr frowned. While he was glad to hear somebody would be watching after the little girl, he damn well knew Jeremy didn’t have spares of anything.
“I’ve been asking around to see if anyone is missing stuff,” Kaufman added.
“And?”
“Maxine is missing shingles and Dodge Hodgens is missing wood.”
With his bounty of information reported, Mr. Kaufman continued on his route. Carr reluctantly put away his paper while the waitress, Nancy, topped his coffee.
He suspected Maxine lost her missing shingles in the bad storm that passed through last week, and Dodge Hodgens’ memory was so rattled that he might be recalling some wood he bought and used over five years ago. Still, he’d better check it out. The Larringtons were good people and he’d hate to see them harmed. And Jeremy Adams’ involvement didn’t make him feel better about the situation.

Anna returns to the small town where her heart is... with her elderly Aunt and Uncle. She's lost her job and decides to use the time she has to help her family. Sadly, her motives are questioned not only by her cousin but also the townspeople and local law enforcement.
Once again, Ms. O'Connor writes a tale which will stay with you long after you put the book down. The gossip and hatred which Anna faces is a part of our society. Sometimes it's not as obvious as it is in the story but we all have faced it. But it's how Anna deals with it that shows how we all can keep on the positive side of life, help others and be kind.
Ms. O'Connor's characters give me inspiration to be a better person and I always finish her books with a smile on my face.

Now a new obstacle rears its head as Molly, Ben’s sister, faces her past and must rely on them. With all the family drama going on, they must determine where their future is headed...
But will they have the strength to take the next step?
