Blurb:
Riley has spent a lifetime playing it safe, then she meets Wade—a cowboy who makes her want to play with fire. Will she finally find her voice and ask for what she’s never dared to before, or will fear drive her to run once again?
​
Riley took growing up sheltered to a whole new level. She’d never so much as stepped out of Silver Valley. Now at thirty, she was taking the leap. In a new town. With a new job. And a new boss that made it hard to breathe, let alone use actual full sentences around. When hot cowboy, Wade Evans, flashed those dimples her way, she knew she was in trouble, she just had no idea how much.
​
Working seven days a week meant Wade didn’t have much time for a social life. Let alone a love life. Not that he didn’t want one. He did. Badly. So when Riley, the new maid, shows up, he doesn’t shy away from making his interest known after it’s made clear she feels it too. There’s only one problem though, she keeps running from him. And he has no idea why. Now he has to decide whether to cut his losses, or fight for the one woman he’s been waiting all his life for.
 
Fans of heart-stopping cowboy romances like Wild Cowboy Ways by Carolyn Brown or A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon will find the same exciting happily ever after in Giddy-Up by Isobel Reed. This best-selling author is known for her sarcastic dialogue and small towns filled with sassy characters. Saddle Up for a wild ride!

About the Author-
Isobel was born and raised in London. While she’s a city girl at heart, she loves daydreaming about running away to a charming small town—though she’s not entirely sure her husband and son would share her enthusiasm for the move. When she’s not writing small-town romantic comedies or growing unhealthily attached to the characters in her books, you can find her reading, chasing after her very active toddler, or attempting to channel her inner domestic goddess in the kitchen (with varying degrees of success).

Known for her witty dialogue and swoon-worthy small-town heroes, Isobel signed with Inkspell Publishing in 2021. The following year, she released Love Tools, the first book in her four-book Bluestone Series. In early 2024, she launched Toasted, the debut novel of her seven-book Love Burns Series, which will roll out over the next year.

Roomies or Something More? Author Jennifer Raines has set that question up for debate in her latest romance- An Accidental Flatmate.

Blurb:
Join award winning author Jennifer Raines in this story combining heat with heart, as two gentle souls find a champion in each other until their love is threatened by promises they made.
​
With her father injured at work, Beatriz Gomez willingly shoulders the financial responsibility for her family. Now, bills are mounting, a colleague stole her ideas to win the promotion she desperately needs, and her sisters blame her for everything. Bea needs time out, so moves into her best friend’s temporarily empty apartment. Then Casildo, a professional acquaintance, walks in the door. He’s outraged on her behalf, and that’s … a lovely surprise. But Beatriz has promised to go home. 

Casildo Hariri knows this is his last chance. He’s earmarked every second and every cent in the next few months to launching his long-dreamed of textile design company. So, he doesn’t have time for the luscious, talented, unavailable Beatriz who’s in residence at the apartment he thought was empty. Except she’s been wronged. Someone needs to encourage her to rebel, and he’s on the spot. After all, the apartment has two bedrooms, although it doesn’t take long to discover one is more than enough. To his secret delight, Beatriz champions his dreams. That’s before she detonates them by telling him why she has to go home.

When Beatriz is cheated out of a job she deserves, Casildo encourages her to rebel, until she breaks the rules by breaking his heart. Can they find a way together while pursuing separate dreams?
 
Excerpt
Beatriz cursed fate, Anna, Hunter, her parents, her sisters, and lastly, herself. She’d had a crush on Casildo Hariri since she’d first met him at a loud, crowded marketing industry function. A few weeks into her job, and he’d gone out of his way to make her feel welcome and included. He didn’t jostle for attention, but had an innate authority, a sense of certainty about who and what he was.

A crush she’d ruthlessly wrestled into professional camaraderie, especially after her father’s accident two years ago. Thank heavens they didn’t work for the same company. Casildo in small doses was manageable. In his old jeans, washed-out sweater and hair, longer-than-usual, brushing his shoulders, he made her mouth water. He was more attractive than in his work outfit of chinos and linen shirts, more tempting even than he’d been in his tuxedo at Anna and Hunter’s wedding.

She pulled her kaftan over her head and changed into jeans and a cardigan set. Work casual, rather than her lounge-about-around home clothes. Then she tugged on the socks and short boots she’d arrived in. Camouflage, but necessary camouflage for a conversation she had to win.

When she emerged from Anna’s old bedroom, Casildo was in an armchair. His hair was tied back with some kind of leather thong, long enough to trail around the side of his neck.

Bea had told herself looking was allowable, lust was forbidden, especially since he’d never looked at, said, or touched her in any way remotely unprofessional. Friendly? Yes. Sleazy? No. Interested? Once upon a time she’d wished.

Right now he looked—chastened? Cautious?

Good.

He’d disturbed her peace. She’d been enjoying her new-found freedom, enjoying having a whole sofa to herself, rather than finding it full of sisters who’d become demanding witches while her back was turned, blaming her for losing a promotion she deserved.
 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Australian Jennifer Raines writes contemporary romances set mainly, but not exclusively, in Australia – think Malta, Finland, New Zealand or ? A dreamer and an optimist, her stories are a delicious cocktail of mutual respect, passion and loyalty because she still believes in happily-ever-afters.
​
Jennifer fell in love with romance as a teenager. Starting with historical romance. Everything in the school library and then a treasured collection of Georgette Heyer, hard copies, paperbacks and ebooks. Comfort food, she calls them, like Vegemite toast, for those times when she feels low. Her library of comfort food has grown over the years but Georgette Heyer was an early star, under the blankets after lights out using a torch.

Jennifer is a member of Romance Writers of Australia. Three times a finalist in the Emerald competition, including in 2017 (Common Cause, renamed Lela’s Choice), 2018 (Taylor’s Law) and 2022 (Quinn, by Design – Choosing Family Book 2). She’s a member of Romance Writers of New Zealand, winning the Pacific Hearts competition twice, including in 2019 with Grace Under Fire, the sequel to Taylor’s Law. She’s also a member of Romance Writers of America and has been a finalist in chapter competitions in 2019, 2020 and 2021 (Taylor’s Law). Jennifer won the contemporary romance section in the 2020 Orange Rose Contest for Planting Hope and was second overall. While rarely entering them these days, Jennifer values competitions for the constructive, honest, not always comfortable feedback they provide.

In 2023 Jennifer placed second in the Romance Writers of New Zealand Koru Best First Book with Taylor’s Law.

Jennifer loves those days when words flow and the joy of writing makes the hard slog worthwhile. She’s always made up stories about strangers in the street, in a café or strolling through an airport terminal; finding inspiration in snippets of conversations, news items and the sheer puzzle of human interactions.

Jennifer lives in inner-city Sydney, Australia, with the requisite number of partners (1) and animals (2). Her desk overlooks a park which nourishes her soul when she raises her head from her keyboard. She gets some of her best ideas during long yin yoga poses or walking—including around the block. While Jennifer adores historical romance, she chose to write contemporary because she thought (wrongly) it needed less research while she was holding down a full-time job.
