Marie Harte | It’s all about a CONTRACT SIGNED
Author Guest / January 24, 2017

Sometimes it’s good to be bad. I know in romances, there has to be core of honor and integrity in the hero. I completely agree. But I differ in opinion when it comes to issues of life and death. Some people are just bad guys, and I honestly can’t see their value on the planet. But since I’m a law abiding citizen with no Ninja or assassination skills, I leave the contractors of Triggerman Incorporated to do the cleanup. Ice, Shadow, and Hammer work for The Business, a company that contracts its employment out to various governmental and non-governmental agencies in a discreet manner. In the Triggerman Inc. world, my contractors pick and choose their assignments. The three heroes—Ice, Shadow, and Hammer—have a few things in common: Their handler is Big Joe They’re all tall, dark, and handsome They all might be the father of a small bundle of joy dropped anonymously on Ice’s front porch And so begins the story in CONTRACT SIGNED, the first in the series, which released January 17th. Though each book is a stand-alone, to find out who actually gave birth to the mystery baby (as well as who’s the father), you need to read…

GIRL BREAKER Exclusive Excerpt

He waited for a couple more beats, pressing his mouth into a thin, hard line. “Take care of yourself, Jessica.” He shut the door, and I listened to his footsteps going farther away. I sank down, staring off into nothing. He was gone, just like that. He was a hairsbreadth away from being all mine, something I had wanted for months, and I just let him walk out my door. I didn’t call my friends or my sister. When my stomach growled, I didn’t get up to make myself something to eat. My phone rang later, but I didn’t answer. When I had gotten the news in the hospital that both our parents didn’t survive the car accident, my grief was overwhelming, making my body grow cold. I was a shivering mess. No amount of blankets, hot tea, or even whiskey would help. The booze just made me drowsy and I’d go to sleep. Later on, as the news sank in, I was so enraged at the other driver’s senseless and cruel actions, I actually broke out in a fever, making myself sick with fury. It had been different for Samantha. She went completely numb, residing in this weightless fog,…

Amanda Ashby | It all began with a tablecloth…
Author Guest / January 24, 2017

Every book has inspiration and for this one it was tablecloths. Yes. That’s right. Those things that your grandmother probably insisted on putting out even if it was just for a cup of tea. And knowing your grandmother she ironed them too! Anyway, over the years I have developed quite an obsession for vintage tablecloths, to the point where I had a market stall of them. And every time someone walked into my small stall they would undoubtedly say, ‘this reminds me of…’ I also discovered that many of the people who bought them from me were doing so for vintage weddings or bridal showers. And, like all good authors, that got me thinking! Of course there’s more to a book than just a tablecloth (though wow, how easy would me life be if that’s all it took!). But the idea of a dresser full of beautifully pressed linen stayed with me as I created Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm. A series about one sister who starts a vintage wedding planning business using her Great Aunt Ivy’s old collection of treasures. Originally her plan is stop her two jet setting sisters from selling the farm she loves, but as each…
