3,000 miles, TWO secrets, ONE man who can change everything.
Samantha Smiles and Renee Montgomery have been best friends for over a decade. They’ve shared laughs, secrets, and a mutual hatred for one person: Tristan Montgomery, Renee’s older brother. He was the guy every girl wanted, and every guy wanted to be, and it wasn’t uncommon they’d befriend his little sister just to get closer to him. Which was exactly how Samantha became Renee’s saving grace. She was the only girl Renee could trust not to fall in love with her older brother. Until the one night Samantha spent with him alone, leaving her questioning everything she’d ever known about the blond headed heart-throb. Years later, Renee asks Samantha to be her maid of honor. After being one-upped by her boyfriend’s career, and with no other option, Samantha is forced to drive cross-country with the focus of their teenage ire. He was her first kiss.Her only secret. Can Samantha survive the trip cross-country with the reckless Tristan Montgomery? The guy who did what he wanted, whenever he wanted, without worry for tomorrow? Or will she discover a different side of him. One that’s sweet, funny, and maybe a little bit vulnerable. And fall completely and helplessly in love for the first time in her adult life with the one man who could cause her to lose her best friend forever?
Taylor is the proud mom of three (not-so-young-anymore) kids she loves more than life. She spends her days juggling their endless activities, hoping she looks presentable enough to be out in public, while writing stories inspired by the strangers she meets in her daily life. Maybe she’s a little crazy, or maybe she just misses the Barbie games played with her sister when they were young—but that’s where her stories are born. It’s where they blossom and grow, and eventually breathe life onto the pages of her books.
Taylor is drawn to the complexity and flaws of people. She believes that a life well lived is full of mistakes and that beauty is always found in imperfection. And yes, she believes in happy endings. She’s been married to the love of her life for 21 years after kissing way too many frogs.
She would love to hear from you! (Or I would love to hear from you… writing in 3rd person makes me sound way cooler.)

Oliver Benedict Winter
My life revolves around death and darkness.
I trust no one. Believe in nothing. I despise the world in general. Like me, everything in it is harsh and cruel. I’ve accepted that I’ll die alone one day and probably in great pain from an enemy ambush. But when I see her on the auction block, nothing else matters. I am instantly, completely, insanely consumed. The thought of keeping her forever turns me feral. She’s in danger, but how can I save her when I’ve sworn to be the instrument of her death?
I hunted her. I caught her. I’m keeping her. She’s mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. I’ll rip to pieces anyone who tries taking her from me and send them straight to Hell.
I’m the villain, and this is my fairy tale.
Londyn Juliet Skye
Entering that auction voluntarily might be the biggest mistake of my life.
I had no other options. I need this money to take care of my sister. But things don’t go as planned. Now, I’m the prize in a terrifying hunt catering to the world’s richest, most dangerous men. My survival will give my sister the justice she deserves, but I’m unprepared for the man who catches me. His cruelty is tempered by possessiveness. His darkness tamed by unexpected benevolence. He makes me bleed, but when he kisses the pain away, I just want more.
I hate him. Fear him. Crave him. This man has me in a chokehold but I’m beginning to like being his.

Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!
Aria Wilde runs the Dark Horse Dive Bar with efficiency and precision. If only her life ran that way too. Brokenhearted and bitter after a very public and messy split with her ex, Aria is gun shy when it comes to men. But her brother-in-law’s FBI brother, Nick Gunn, has been a sexy distraction when he’s in town. He makes her sizzle every time he’s near. But as their relationship deepens, she thinks he may be the one – and also the one who could decimate her heart if she risks it once again.
Assistant special agent-in-charge Nick Gunn is happy his brother Mason found love and a new lease on life with Lyric Wilde, but it’s her sister Aria he can’t stop thinking about. Their long-distance relationship wears on both of them. Their two lives seem so different, both of them tied to their jobs and where they live. A compromise seems insurmountable, even if they both want it. He knows he needs to make a change – one for the better if his brother’s new life with Lyric is any indication of what he could have with Aria – but is he ready to make a commitment that’s never worked out for him in the past?
When a case goes sideways, hiding out in Blackrock Falls where his brother can watch his back seems like the ideal way to be with Aria, give their relationship a real shot, and lay low. He thinks he’s safe in the small town, but he underestimated the killer after him for revenge. All he does is put a target on Aria’s back. And as a killer closes in, he realizes seeing his future without her in it is impossible. Losing her would be devastating.
And when things go terribly wrong, it will be anyone’s guess who will save who, and if any of them will make it out alive. But Nick’s not going down without a fight, or getting the woman he loves.

A biker president, who plays Santa for sick children, an ex-fireman turned made man, and an enforcer soon to be a princess from one of the five families walk into a motorcycle club.
It’s not the start of a funny joke; no, it’s all real life.
Slaytor Rhodes, the president of Sons of Thunder MC, is a father and an ex-husband. He brings toys to sick children in his very own Santa suit and likes to think of himself as a lover. Because of who his father was, he hasn’t been able to come out and love who he wants, but now he’s getting rid of the trash sullying up his club – like all the used-up Christmas paper on Christmas day, and he doesn’t care who he upsets to do it.
The price to be with Cameron Von is worth it.
Contessa Dean (Nitti), or Tessa to her friends, and the boogie man to everyone else, has one goal in mind: to avenge her mother’s death. If that means she gets caught up in the crossfire, then so be it. Even being a princess of one of the five families won’t save her, and she’s made peace with that. Until her father tells her she must marry Cameron Von to bring the families together – the one man who can make her lose sight of her only goal in life – vengeance. Will a Christmas miracle happen, and she’ll get everything she wished for? Her revenge, and Cam with a side of Slaytor Rhodes.
Cam, along with Slaytor, made her hope for more. Hope was deadly in her line of work.
Cameron Von loved being a firefighter, but those days crashed and burned when he stuck his neck out for a friend and was brought into the family fold permanently. If he had to be a part of the family, he’d try to clean things up and make them legit, once and for all. When his uncle tells him he must marry Contessa Nitti to bring the families together, he jumps at the chance, because he’s always secretly loved Contessa, but she’s not so happy to be his bride. Everywhere she goes, Contessa brings death with her. She’s keeping something big from him, causing her to be cold and distant. Will the Christmas spirit thaw out her heart?
If everything goes his way, he won’t have to spend another Christmas alone; he’ll spend Christmas with Contessa and Santa Daddy Slaytor.
Slaytor is theirs, and Santa makes three. This life is no joke.
***This is a darkish MFM, MMF, that takes place during Christmas, book.***

An English lady proposes marriage to a brooding Scotsman – but she’s about to learn there’s nothing convenient about courting this fiery Highlander.
An English lady with everything to lose…
Beth Croft is all poise and propriety – or so she tells herself. To save her father from financial ruin, she proposes a marriage of convenience to Boyd Sandeman, the ruggedly handsome, infuriating Scotsman and wine tycoon. She expects some challenges, but she didn’t expect Boyd himself- a man with a dry wit, a commanding presence, and a knack for turning her world upside down.
A Scotsman with a taste for revenge…
For Boyd, Beth’s offer is a chance to settle an old score with her father, who once humiliated him. He agrees, but only if Beth can prove she’s up to the task. At a festive Christmas house party, Boyd devises three challenges to test her mettle, from blind wine tastings to keeping up with his demanding (and often maddening) expectations. Yet as they spar and spark, Boyd’s own defenses begin to falter in surprising ways.
Three trials, one Christmas, and undeniable chemistry…
Beth didn’t expect proving herself would mean more late nights than she’d bargained for – or that her heart would be on the line. Can she survive Boyd’s trials, break through his defenses, and make it to Christmas morning with her pride – and her heart – intact?

Dunn
A way to raise money for kids for the holiday season.
A calendar in need of a December doctor.
Leeona isn’t taking no for an answer. Her charity calendar needs one more hot doctor to agree to model, and quickly. Stephen Clause is smart and sexy – basically everything she’s looking for. She’ll do anything to convince him to sign on to the project.
Stephen has no interest in being Dr. December. There are already enough issues in his life stemming from the last name Clause without adding something else to the pile. The problem is, the feisty woman asking for a favour doesn’t know when to give up.
The comment was meant as a joke and perhaps to embarrass her just enough to give up the ghost. He never expected her to agree to fulfill his entire naughty wish list in exchange for volunteering to pose as her sexy Santa.

When Cole Johnson was eight-years-old, he married Rose Prescott. Never mind that the aisle was made of holiday table runners, she wore an old lace curtain, and her brother performed the ceremony in a musty basement.
Twenty-four years later, Cole is more in love than ever and ready to wed Rose for real. This time, it’ll be at an exquisite wedding venue and the minister will know how to read. But that’s not all. He wants to give Rose the life he’s always dreamed of: a big house with a picket fence, twin boys, a family dog, and a rock solid 401K.
But Rose doesn’t seem to want any of it – not even a little. Because it’s not at all the future she covets. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. The thought of a hefty mortgage payment and a minivan full of children isn’t just suffocating… it’s insufferable.
As the wedding approaches, Cole grows uneasy and can’t help but feel like Rose is hiding something. Despite his suspicions, the day of their wedding arrives without a hitch. The question is, how will the day end?

Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She’s always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn’t supposed to venture into. She’s still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.
FINDERS KEEPERS, COWBOY: Meg Hawke’s antique store is faltering. When her octogenarian neighbor Hank asks her to clean out his shed and sell antiques on consignment, she has a real chance at discovering forgotten treasure. If she steps foot on the Montana ranch, however, she’ll come face-to-face with her childhood frenemy and Hank’s grandson, Ryan.
After selling off the ranch’s cattle years before, Ryan Kincaid dove into the world of high-end tourism and devoted everything to the business. For his sanity, he avoids his annoying known-her-since-childhood neighbor, Meg. With the forced proximity of the shed project happening in his backyard, though, he’s singing a different tune. Perhaps he’d been wrong about her.
Then, a sudden discovery spurs both change and challenge, and they’re forced to choose the potential of ever-after or to finally move on forever.
Tropes: old enemies, rivals, love/hate, last to know, forced proximity, matchmaker, cowboy, small town
CATCH A COWBOY: Kincaid Ranch lead cowboy, Ted Stirling, isn’t looking for romance or entanglements. He settled in Herd, Montana over a decade ago following a devastating loss.

But she’s too young for him.
Stephanie has nursed a crush on quiet, handsome Ted for years. Every time she’s around him, however, she gets tongue-tied. She only seems to be able to find her words when she’s working with her students. Then, Ted’s sister unexpectedly arrives in town with his five-year-old niece in tow, and he needs Stephanie’s help, thrusting them together.
But a sudden emergency puts into sharp focus exactly how fragile life is, and he needs to decide whether or not to open his heart again.

Is it too late to make amends and start over? And can love survive a lie?
Tropes: matchmaker, love/hate, enemies, secrets, mistaken identity, small town, heir

Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have returned to Bitterbark Creek – her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and their charismatic son – the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek. Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident took one life and hatred tried to steal another. But dark truths can’t be hidden forever when ghosts from the past step into the light. Might the revelations be too daunting for them to handle? Or will Jack and Sophie finally put aside their family history and let love guide them into a future together?
