From brand new release, Memories of You, Book I Lake George Series:

Jason buried his face in her hair. She smelled like the forest, piney and fresh, mingled with the scent of his own shampoo from wearing his helmet. A little thrill gripped his throat, smelling something of himself on her.
Like she was his. He wanted her to be his.

Hannah: Bride of Iowa

The next morning Maddie dragged her ma to the stand of oak trees where Pa had been buried. It took most of the day to dig a hole big enough for her ma’s final resting place. Once the last shovel of dirt was in place, Maddie laid down and cried her heart out. How could God do this? How will she survive?

From HOLDING BACK, still only 0.99 until 19th Feb!

Daniel might not have liked the way Laura stormed off on
her own after the trip — he certainly didn't believe it was because she had urgent shopping to do — but he supposed he couldn't blame her. He'd come on a bit strong on the boat, but honestly, it was like waving a red rag at a bull, denying there was any spark between them when it was so obvious there was.

Royal Dare (The Royals of Monterra: Kindle Worlds)

I was back.

Feeling good, but scared and praying with my whole heart that I wouldn’t relapse. I had to make this work, use my coping skills to make my dream come true and graduate with my class. But the moment the very tall, muscular guy in a ripped T-shirt intruded into my sheltered, boarding school world, I knew he was a threat to my sobriety.

The worse part was, I never saw him coming.

Royal Dare (The Royals of Monterra) is available on Amazon Kindle

Thank you!

From The Wolf Queen:
She had followed the wolf to the border of Artemis’s forest and watched him cross into the goddess’s realm, taking the same route she’d taken to escape. It was no surprise to see Lycaon in his cursed wolf shape. Alara shook with anger at the thought that he planned to turn her over to Aramon despite her pleading with him not to send her back.

Only .99 for a limited time.

ECHOES OF THE PAST

Connor watched Emily as she walked up the dunes. Letting out a long breath, he turned and looked out at the sea towards the horizon. It was time to find out what had happened all those years ago.
Time to connect more pieces of the puzzle.
Ten minutes later he was back at the house and found Jack in the lounge room drinking a cup of tea.
The old man looked up and smiled. “Son.”
