  It’s December! And all of us who read and write romances know that that means one thing. It’s time for the summer wedding romance anthologies to go on sale! I’m in very few anthologies next year (maybe 2?) but this is one I’m super excited about.   Finding Forever  includes weddings, summer flings, and lots and lots of romance. It will release on June 3, 2025, and today is the cover reveal and preorder release. There are 9 authors in this anthology, and each story will be loaded with all the romantic, wedding feels at different heat levels, from mid-to-high heat levels, from sweet-and-sexy to super-steamy. My story in this collection,  Luke’s Last Hot Summer , is another novella in the  Kingsmill Courtships Series . It’s the story of a passionate one night stand that changes everything for Luke Mosby and Holly Lin when their forced to sacrifice everything they thought they knew about love in order to find the happiness they never believed they’d find.  A ...

I can't believe it's been months since I've written in this space, and I missed you all! I spent the time away writing for many deadlines and traveling to visit family. And while I had a wonderful time, I'm so happy to be here again. Anyway, today is a huge day because one of my favorite stories that I’ve written this year is out now!  One October Night , one of the first stories in my Kingsmill Courtships series, is now available for a  limited time in the Mister October anthology. BAD DECISIONS. BROKEN HEARTS. SECOND CHANCES What do these all have in common? Mister October!  Think naughty costumes, deliciously devious “snacks,” and spooky twists. And, of course, sexy heroes and HEAs! Follow our dauntless heroines through bad decisions, broken hearts and second chances. You’ll love the mix of suspense, comedy, sweet/steamy romance, and holiday drama without a drop of magic. Are ready for a book that will keep you up all night? And when that doorbell rings, will you ans...

by Adriana Anders With the blazing heat of summer still lingering and the humidity wrapped around us like a damp beach towel, I can’t help but think about the second book in my Blank Canvas series— By Her Touch . It’s a moody, emotional read, set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When we meet our hero and heroine, they’re in the midst of a midsummer heat wave. Have you ever experienced one of those in the South? If you have, you’ll know that you’ve got two choices. Escape it by heading for cooler climes or embrace it with some of these sultry southern summer pursuits. They may not help you beat the heat, but they might get you to forget it. Slow times with good friends on porches . Ever notice how people down south can spend hours just watching the world go by? There’s a reason for that: they know better than wasting valuable energy trying to move. Sittin’ and Sippin’ Mint Juleps, Sweet Tea, Bourbon or Sour Mash. It’s just a matter of taste what poison...

Lynnette’s Tip for the Perfect Wedding You’re getting married! A dream come true—and so much to do before you say “I do.” Above all else, preserve your relationship with your fiancé during the often chaotic planning of your wedding. Remember to enjoy this time and each other. The wedding is one day; the marriage is forever. On your dates, talk about more than the wedding and don’t let small details derail you. Make your date nights special. Recreate you first date. Buy tickets for his favorite team and go to a ballgame together. Eat hot dogs and Cracker Jacks while you cheer on his football or baseball players. Try something you’ve never done. Adventurous? Go skydiving. Not quite ready for that? Tie on a pair of ice or roller skates and spend the night holding hands—and maybe holding each other up! Kiss often, and remember to tell him how much you love him. An excerpt from EVERY BRIDE HAS HER DAY: “Hold on a sec.” Sam raised a finger and headed back inside. Grabbing the small rad...

by M. L. Buchman I adore the Oregon Coast...of course, I live here so I may be a little biased. The temperature rarely crosses outside of the 35-75F range. And the weather is always entertaining. We average 85-100 inches a year in most places out here (compare with 35 inches in New York and Seattle), but it bothers very few of us who actually live on the coast. For one thing, it keeps the pollen washed out of the air most days for those of us with allergies and it also keeps the tourist-count down for much of the year (nothing as fun to make jokes about as tourists, no matter how much our town relies on them). There is a stark beauty here that's hard to deny as well. Weather here can, um, change at a moment's notice The beach is always changing. An offshore fogbank awaits the local fishing fleet And as much as I love the coast, it only recently struck me that I'd never set a story here. Well, I've done better than that: I've new set a whole series...

It's release week for the first in Lynnette Austin's brand new Magnolia Brides series, The Best Laid Wedding Plans! To celebrate, we've got an excerpt from the book to share. Her experienced gaze scrutinized the scene, took in both the setting and the people, alert for any problems. The arbor, with its draping of wisteria, had turned out beautifully and smelled like heaven itself. The bride’s family, the groom’s family—both wore expressions of happiness mixed with a touch of relief. Jenni Beth’s eyes drifted to the flower girl. Daniella was antsy, her little fingers busily plucking the lace from the basket that held rose petals. And what in the world was Ricky, the ring bearer, doing to his shoelaces? Her eyes narrowed. Had he tied them together? Oh, boy. As the sun set, the minister announced the newly joined Mr. and Mrs. Talbot, and Jenni Beth clapped with the rest of the guests while checking to make sure the walkway remained clear. The music began on cue, and th...
