One More Chance Excerpt
It was ridiculous for him to be annoyed, and yet he was. Maneuvering over her until she was on her back on the blanket and he was braced above her, Mick stared down into her shocked face. “I don’t want you to just casually agree with me, Sienna. I want to know what you’re thinking. I’m going back on a promise to you. Doesn’t that bother you at all?”
Now it was her turn to look annoyed. “You want to know what bothers me? The fact that I’m genuinely okay with this mild change of plans and it’s not good enough for you. If you don’t want to go, then you should be man enough to just say so. Don’t put it all on me so then you have someone to blame.” With a hard shove, she pushed him off of her before getting to her feet. And without even sparing him a glance, she marched back toward the house.
He was a little impressed with how strong she was, and it was probably comical for anyone watching to see him try to scramble to his feet so he could chase after her.
Scooping up the blanket, he jogged to the stairs and took them two at a time to catch up to her on the deck.
“Hey!” he said breathlessly—and refused to acknowledge how out of shape he possibly was. “What the hell was that all about? We were having a conversation!”
“No, you were trying to be mister always does the right thing for everyone and was too afraid to make a decision for yourself! You planned this entire trip without asking anything of me and now you’re tippy-toeing around like you think I’m going to freak out if you have something you need to do! Have I given you any reason to think that I’m that kind of person?”
“Um…”
“No, I haven’t,” she answered for him. “If anything, I’ve been pretty agreeable to everything. I hung out with your friends and their wives and didn’t complain even once! And let me tell you something, buddy, that was a big deal for me! I don’t enjoy hanging out with strangers and feeling like an outsider. But I did it because I knew it was important to you!”
“Okay, but…”
“And going to see some singer tonight? That actually sounded like a lot of fun! And do you know why?”
“Um…”
“Because we’d be doing it together! I never go to concerts anymore and to see one with you and see you acting all like Mick Tyler, band manager? I’d love that! But you were so busy being all wishy-washy that you didn’t really bother to talk to me about it.” And with a huff, she turned and walked into the house and went right for the coffeemaker.
“You’re right,” he said, following her in. “This is all new, Sienna, and I can’t help feeling guilty for wanting to see this kid sing when I’m supposed to be on vacation. This trip was all for you and I kind of feel like a dick for taking any time to do business.” Walking over to her, he rested his hands on her hips and slowly pulled her close. “I’m sorry.”
CR 55%: Reaching up, Sienna cupped his jaw and forced him to look at her. “I do. And I’m very proud of you.” Leaning in, she gave him a gentle kiss. “And when we get back to the room, I have a little surprise for you.”
His eyes lit up. “More sexy underwear?”
Laughing, she shook her head. “You saw what I was wearing under this outfit earlier, of course it’s more sexy underwear,” she said with a wink. “But that’s not all.”
“Really? So what is it?”
“A surprise, that’s what. And you’ll just have to wait and see.”

There isn't anyone in Laurel Bay he hasn't been able to charm.
But charming a baby is a whole different story.
Life has never been better for Jamie Donovan. Always has been. And now that it's his turn to take charge of the family pub, he truly feels like everything in his life is just the way it's supposed to be. Or it was until an early morning knock on his door ended with a baby on his doorstep. The man who can normally charm his way out of any situation doesn't know the first thing about taking care of a baby and running a business. And so he turns to his siblings for help.
And once they tell him their solution, he wishes he'd never asked for help.
Fallon Murphy has always prided herself on being good with people. In all her life, she's only met one person she hasn't been able to get along with. Unfortunately, their parents are best friends and avoiding him just wasn't a choice. When his sister calls stating an emergency, the last thing Fallon expects is to find an abandoned baby - one that belong to Jamie. As much as she'd love nothing more than to see Jamie fail at something, she would never put an innocent child at risk.
They're rivals.
Sworn enemies.
And now...roommates.
Can one small baby help turn adversaries into lovers? Or maybe even...a family?

Why did I go back to the Band on the Run Series?
I was recently asked why I went back to write another book in the Band on the Run series.
One More Chance releases 3/28!
I wasn’t sure it was something I was ever going to do because when the series initially released starting back in 2017, it didn’t get the attention it deserved. I actually felt like a failure because my publisher was telling me how bad the series was, but my readers were saying otherwise. When I got the rights back and re-published the original three books, ONE MORE KISS, ONE MORE PROMISE, and ONE MORE MOMENT, not only were fans of the series excited, but suddenly there were new readers. And the one thing they all asked? “Where’s Mick’s Story?” So because I was already a little back in that headspace due to re-publishing the series, I figured, “Why not?” I love the cover and I love this story and I think readers are going to be very happy to get the update not only on the band, but some characters from my Shaughnessy Brothers series too 😊

Pretending to date the town’s bad boy seemed like a good idea.
But who knew that being bad could feel so good…
A small town, fake dating, opposites attract standalone romance from NY Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chase
Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother’s matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn’t need to be for long, she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother’s last disastrous fix-up. It’s really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head.
Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he’s more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he’s 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him.
Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they’ve always been there and he’ll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself.

Save Me Excerpt
Reaching out, Ryker spun her chair around until she was facing him and braced his hands on the armrest. “Why do you do that?”
“Do what? The websites? It’s my job.”
Fighting the urge to roll his eyes, he leveled her with a glare. “Not that. I mean, why do you put yourself down like that? Why would I hate any of them?”
With a small shrug, she averted her gaze. “I don’t know. I guess…I guess because compared to someone as artistic as you are, this is all kind of boring.”
Ryker immediately reached out and tucked a finger under her chin. “Let’s get one thing straight. There is nothing boring about you. Nothing. You are the most exciting woman I’ve ever met.”
“Ryker…”
“I’m serious,” he firmly interrupted. “And you want to know what bothers me the most about this entire conversation?”
She shook her head.
“Not once have you ever asked to look at my work,” he said, and wanted to kick himself. He’d been putting off this discussion out of fear of pushing her away and he had gone and done it anyway. “For all you know, I’m a shitty artist. You’ve never seen even one thing I’ve created.”
“Ryker, I…”
“It’s okay, Ryleigh. I get it. This is part of you keeping some distance between us,” he said as he pushed away from the chair. Muttering a curse, he walked back over to her wall of bookcases. “I’m a private person and I don’t offer any information about myself and after coming into your office, I see you’re the same way.”
Behind him, he heard her stand. “I grew up in this town. Everyone already knows everything about me. Or they think they do,” she amended. “The older I got, the more my hobbies and interests changed, the more I enjoyed keeping them to myself because…”
“Because it’s exhausting when everyone knows your business.” Turning his head, he looked at her and saw the sad smile on her face.
And understanding.
“I was curious about you, Ryker. Even more so after we started this whole fake relationship thing.”
Now was definitely not the time for him to open that can of worms…
“But…it’s like I said earlier, I can only deal with so much. I’m not looking for a serious relationship,” she admitted. “I like my life the way it is. When the time is right, I’ll know it. Being ambushed into dating men I have no interest in or having to fake a relationship is all just…I don’t know…I just want to live my life my way!”
Sadly, he understood exactly where she was coming from and it was almost comical how much they had in common without her realizing it. But if he aired his life story right now, she’d think he was doing it to make her change her mind about him.
Them.
Shit.
Walking over to her, he gently tugged her into his arms and kissed her. Her small gasp of surprise lasted merely a second before she wrapped herself around him. He loved when she did that. Over and over he kissed her and Ryleigh gave as good as she was getting.
“Any chance you have time for an extended break?” he asked between kisses.
“For more of this, I can take off the rest of the day,” she panted, nipping at his jaw as her hands palmed the front of his jeans.
In a flash, Ryker scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the office and down the hall to her bedroom. He’d never been in there before and maybe later he’d give a damn about what it looked like, but all he wanted right now was to get Ryleigh naked on the sheets.
She was clearly on the same page because as soon as he set her down, she whipped her shirt up and over her head before reaching out and unbuttoning his jeans.
Ryker cupped her face and forced her to look at him. “I love it when you’re impatient,” he said with a growl.
“And I love it when your hands are on me.” Her voice was breathless and sexy as hell.
“Then brace yourself, because you’re about to be wildly in love,” he promised as he reached out and quickly rid her of the rest of her clothes.
If only she knew how much of a double entendre that promise was.

One More Chance Cover Reveal!
The band is back!
Every so often, inspiration hits, and I get to revisit an older series with characters I thought I wouldn't be coming back to. And this time, I'm going back to the Band on the Run series to finally tell Mick's story.
One More Chance is band manager Mick's chance to finally get the happily ever after he never thought he would get. He just needs to let himself explore all the what-ifs and what-could-have-beens that are brought up when he unexpectedly comes face to face with the woman he left behind more than two decades ago.
One More Chance will be coming your way March 28th!
Releasing: March 28, 2023
Cover Reveal: Kari March Designs
Photography: Wander Aguiar
Twenty-three years ago, he hopped on a bus to pursue his dreams in the music business.
But that meant leaving behind the girl who could never really be his.
Now older, wiser, and insanely successful, Mick Tyler has achieved everything he ever wanted, but he's never been more miserable. Feeling a little disenchanted and introspective, Mick can't help but let his mind wander through all of life's "what if" moments. The biggest what if? The girl he walked away from--the one who was too young and had dreams of her own. And now that he's thought about her once, he can't stop wondering.
Sienna Ashley is desperate for a little excitement. As thrilling and satisfying as her pursuit of scientific research has been for her intellect, it's left her heart feeling a little neglected. For years she dreamed of finding someone who not only understood her brains but accepted her and all her quirks. Once upon a time she thought she'd found that someone, but it's been over two decades since he walked out of her life.
Past and present collide when Mick and Sienna unexpectedly come face to face. Together, they decide to see what could have happened had they chosen a different path all those years ago. But they've given themselves a deadline. Two weeks. Two glorious weeks to either work each other out of their systems, or to embark on the love of a lifetime.

Tempt Me Excerpt
A week later, Liam walked into Tessa’s house and the entire place smelled like all the best parts of fall.
Someone’s baking…
They’d gotten into the habit this past week where he came over after he got home from work. She told him he didn’t have to knock or ring the bell, that he could just come in. It didn’t seem like a big deal, but he kind of liked how she trusted him.
He also liked the way she normally greeted him.
For someone who said it had been a long time since she’d been intimate with a man, she was most definitely making up for lost time and Liam was more than happy to be the one she did that with.
With each day he was discovering something new about her—something that was completely at odds with the woman he initially met. She was still ridiculously cheery and overly optimistic, but there was a bit of wildness to her she only showed when they were alone. A lot of the time, Tessa was the one to initiate sex and he loved all the ways she would seduce him.
Not that it took much. All she had to do was look at him and he was ready to strip her down and make love to her.
The night in the hot tub seemed to be the turning point.
Well, that entire afternoon and evening had changed things between them. Once they crossed the line to lovers, Liam knew nothing would ever be the same. But the hot tub seemed to unleash a little part of her she had been repressing.
Now he looked forward to seeing what part of Tessa she was going to reveal to him each day.
He found her in the kitchen where she was pulling a couple of pans out of the oven. Thanksgiving was only a few days away, and he knew she was getting ready. He hated how she was going to South Carolina to be with her family while he was staying here with his. As much as he loved a big Donovan holiday dinner, this year he would have enjoyed letting Tessa experience one too. Only…
They weren’t dating.
At least, he didn’t think they were.
Hell, whenever he tried to talk to Tessa about it, she changed the subject and he was getting a bit of a complex.
Was it possible that he was more into her than she was into him? Could she be sticking to his original plan, that this was all just about him helping her get comfortable dating again?
Oh, God…is she…using me?
For sex?
Groaning inwardly, he told himself that would be poetic justice. He’d finally found a woman he wanted to date and he’d put himself in a position where she didn’t take him seriously. It would totally serve him right for pushing her into re-discovering the sexual side of herself. Maybe now she realized that she could have all the pleasurable fun that she wanted without having any deep entanglements.
For years, that had been the dream—hell, for most guys, it was the dream—but Liam was feeling like he was ready for something more than casual. Something more fulfilling.
So then, what am I doing here?

Someone’s baking…
They’d gotten into the habit this past week where he came over after he got home from work. She told him he didn’t have to knock or ring the bell, that he could just come in. It didn’t seem like a big deal, but he kind of liked how she trusted him.
He also liked the way she normally greeted him.
For someone who said it had been a long time since she’d been intimate with a man, she was most definitely making up for lost time and Liam was more than happy to be the one she did that with.
With each day he was discovering something new about her—something that was completely at odds with the woman he initially met. She was still ridiculously cheery and overly optimistic, but there was a bit of wildness to her she only showed when they were alone. A lot of the time, Tessa was the one to initiate sex and he loved all the ways she would seduce him.
Not that it took much. All she had to do was look at him and he was ready to strip her down and make love to her.

Save Me Cover Reveal!
Did you catch the big reveal earlier today???
SAVE ME is book THREE in The Donovans series and coming January, 31st!!
Pretending to date the town’s bad boy seemed like a good idea.
But who knew that being bad could feel so good…
A small town, fake dating, opposites attract standalone romance from NY Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chase
Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother’s matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn’t need to be for long, she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother’s last disastrous fix-up. It’s really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head.
Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he’s more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he’s 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him.
Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they’ve always been there and he’ll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself.
*Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone*
