Hey

I'm refreshed from a great week of vacation! I took a week off of pretty much everything except writing, and it was glorious! I actually wrote more words this past week than I expected. Writing on the beach is the best therapy!

These are a few photos from our trip to Panama City Beach, FL. The water wasn't as clear as it usually is, but it was still beautiful. We rented a pontoon boat and spent one day in St. Andrews Bay and enjoying Shell Island, watched many beautiful sunsets, and even caught a few glimpses of a storm in the middle of the ocean one night.

Year 18 vacation with our dear friends!

**This week's featured books are all new releases from some of my dear author friends!

Redeeming the Cowboy

Mandi Blake

They didn’t need anyone until they needed each other.

Felicity Ford is on the run after her cousin’s suspicious death. At the suggestion of her brother, she escapes to Blackwater Ranch to hide out. When she meets the mysterious Hunter, she recognizes the familiar brokenness inside of him. 

Hunter Harding was marked as an outcast a long time ago. The scars on his face are the least of his problems when half the town refuses to do business with him. When Felicity moves into the cabin next door, the solitude he keeps is shaken up. 

Will helping Felicity pick up the pieces of her life give them both the new beginning they need or destroy everything they have left?

*This is the final book in the Blackwater Ranch series.

So You Love Your Best Friend's Sister

by Elizabeth Maddrey

She’s his best friend’s little sister. But now she’s all grown up.

Ryan Foster considers Christopher Ward his honorary brother, which probably makes Jess his annoying little sister, too. So when Chris asked about finding Jess a job to keep her on the straight and narrow, Ryan made it happen. Bailing her out as a friend was better than trying to explain the decidedly un-brotherly thoughts in his head.

Jessica Ward grew up tagging along with her big brother and his best friend Ryan. Now, she spends her days fixing cybersecurity holes as part of Ryan’s team. He doesn’t need to know she hasn’t given up her late-night hacking activities. Or that she’s been in love with him since she was fourteen.

When Jess and Ryan must collaborate and compete for a big promotion, they both struggle to keep their feelings under wraps and concentrate on the task at hand. Between the job, their friendship, and their relationships with Christopher, revealing their hearts would put a lot on the line. Is the risk worth the reward?
