It's me. Hi.
I'm exhausted. It's me. 😅
Hope you all are having a good May! Things have been a little crazy in Bethany world. Though it's not really Bethany world around here. There are too many kids shenanigans for that. We had a this-would-happen-in-a-book moment at my littlest's first tee ball game when then sunny sky disappeared and within ten minutes a storm took over that left us running for the car through 6 inch deep puddles while it was thundering and lightning and my five year old was crying.
That basically describes the vibe of my life lately.
But I am choosing to do as Monty Python would suggest and look on the bright side of life.
And my bright side right now is definitely... some gorgeous new covers for the Baker Girls series. They are giving me a burst of fresh air in the best way!
Also in this email: a teaser of Justin & Jade's story + a featured new release!
The Baker Girls new covers!
😍Look at these beauties!!😍
Chelsea Kemp did a phenomenal job bringing these characters to life. I'm obsessed with them!
The books have also been updated with new interior formatting in both the ebook and paperback.
You can find them on Amazon now!
And if you're wondering… yes, the old covers will be available as discreet covers. They'll be up soon.
The rest of the series will also have matching illustrated covers & I can't wait to show you Justin & Jade’s cover super soon!
But since I don't have it yet, how about...
A tease of the next Baker Girls book...
Since I don't have The Last Love Story cover for you quite yet, how about a teaser to hold you over??
The Last Love Story is a spicy, low-angst, marriage of convenience rom-com featuring a plus size romance author and a swoony romance narrator/cover model.
coming 6.26 to Amazon & KU

🫎They had one night together, and then she disappeared...
Blurb
On the run, injured, and out of options, I had no choice but to go back to him.
Back to the one place I swore I wouldn’t—because staying away was the only way to keep him safe.
Jude Hebert.
My one-night stand turned unexpected protector.
A rugged, guitar-playing lumberjack with broad shoulders and blue eyes that could light up the darkest Maine night.
And the man determined to keep me safe.
When we’re forced to hide out in his cozy cabin, we make the best of it by playing Scrabble and sharing stolen laughter, pretending the world outside isn’t closing in. He carries me like I weigh nothing, cleans my wounds with gentle hands, serenades me with his guitar and makes heat bloom beneath my skin with every stolen glance.
He insists I take the bed every night. Eventually, I ask him to stay.
The way Jude looks at me—like I’m worth protecting—breaks down my defenses. Soon, he’s my protector and confidant, and in these stolen moments, I begin to imagine a life I’d long ago given up on having.
But the danger I’m running from is catching up. Though the answers I’ve been chasing are within reach, so is the threat that could destroy us both.
In the depths of the Maine wilderness, love can be wild, unexpected, and terrifying.
And sometimes it takes a burly, stubborn lumberjack to help a woman find her way home.
Axe-ing for Trouble is available now on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited

🖊️Currently working on: Some updates to an old series that needs a little upgrade!
👀Currently distracting me from that: Life. The end of the school year has no chill.
📖Currently reading: 🥴🥴 I've had time for nothing, but my husband is reading the Murderbot novellas and enjoying them. (Also the show is 👩🏼🍳😘)
🎧Currently listening to: My time has been limited, but I was re-listening to Mother Maker (by Jenni Bara) in the car yesterday.
