The Stolen Kiss:
From rivals…to lovers!
The moment beautiful Cassandra Halverson arrives in Tulsa, Micah Bollinger knows she'll be trouble. No
sooner has she set up her dressmaker's shop than she starts poaching his
customers. Determined to beat Cassandra at her own game, Micah decides to keep
his enemy close!
Cassandra wants nothing more than to create a new life doing what she loves
and to leave her past behind her forever. But the presence of her infuriatingly
gorgeous competitor threatens it all. When an unexpected kiss takes them both
by surprise, it's not long before fury turns to red-hot passion!
This story is related to The Major’s Wife, which is now available in paperback!
The ebook version will be released Feb. 1st!
WILL THE TRUTH SET THEM FREE?
Major Seth Parker knows his wife, and
the woman standing before him isn't her. The manipulative vixen who tricked his
hand in marriage could never possess such innocence—nor get his heart racing like
this!
Millie St. Clair has traveled halfway
across the country to pull off one of the greatest deceptions ever. But with
everything at stake it soon becomes clear that the hardest part might be
walking away from the Major when it's all over….
Our weekend agenda includes an ice fishing trip—for Papa and the
granddaughters. Although the fish house is well heated and roomy, I’m not a fan
of sitting atop frozen water, warm or otherwise, so I will stay home and work
on my next WIP. It’s the third story in my roaring twenties series. Set in White
Bear Lake, Minnesota, these stories are about four sisters—each with their own book. The four Nightingale women, Norma Rose, Twyla, Josie, and Ginger, all
embrace the freedom gained by women in the 1920’s. However, their father, Roger
Nightingale, aka The Night, is one of
the country’s largest bootleggers and set on keeping his girls as innocent as a
morning breeze.
Not.
The first story is Ginger’s, a short e-book only tale. (No release date
yet, but the edits have all been completed and the story is set to go.) Ginger,
the youngest of the girls, takes her future into her own hands and runs away
from home—by hiding away in the back of Brock Ness’s truck when he leaves for
Chicago to perform on the radio. Brock unfortunately owes Roger Nightingale a
good sum of money, so when he discovers Ginger under the tarp of his truck,
snuggled up to his guitar case, Brock is anything but impressed.
The next story is Norma Rose’s. Final edits were just approved by my editor
today! Norma Rose’s story is a full length one and will be available in
print and ebook. She’s the oldest sister and has brought Nightingale’s from
nothing more than a dance pavilion to a sprawling resort that caters to those
with money to spend. This also includes plenty of gangsters, and where you have
mobsters, there’s sure to be a revenue man sniffing about. Norma Rose recognizes
Ty Bradshaw as a government agent the moment she meets him, and is determined
he will not bring her family down. Ty is after public enemy number one, Ray
Bodine, and doesn’t care who he has to bowl over to catch the mobster,
including Norma Rose Nightingale and her bootlegging father.
The third story is Twyla’s, the boldest and wildest sister. This is my
current WIP. Twyla’s story will also be a full length book available in print
and ebook. She loves living at the country’s largest speakeasy and isn’t about to
let anyone rain on her parade, including rival night club owner Forrest
Reynolds.
The last story will be Josie’s. Another full length book. Josie’s the
quietest and most secretive sister. I’m still plotting out her story, so at the
moment, all I can say is the ladies aid meetings she’s continuously going to
aren’t as innocent as they appear.
To say I’m having a lot of fun with these sisters and their stories is an
understatement. I’m also working on a story set in Cody, Wyoming that has a
ghost in it—sort of.
That’s all for now.
Stay happy!
