So I have a release date for my next book in the HEAVEN’S MATCHMAKER series, LOVE MATCH: May 21.
In this scene, we get introduced to Cody’s Huskie. I think you’ll like her name…lol
“What are you doing here?” That all too familiar sensation of heat rose up Layla’s neck and jaw again.
Why, whenever she was in his presence, did she react so rudely? Layla was many things but ill-mannered wasn’t usually one of them.
Except with Cody Fonda.
When he tilted his head and gave her a one-sided grin, she bit down on her lips, then said, “I’m sorry. I thought you were the delivery van I’ve been expecting.” Flustered, she repeated, “Sorry.
“I told you yesterday after we decided what you wanted done that I was gonna start today.”
“You did, but I thought you meant you were sending in a crew to deal with everything.”
For a few beats he just stood there, staring at her. That intense perusal had her insides swirling.
“Can we come in?” he finally asked. “It’s cold standing here.”
“Oh, jeez, sorry. Yes, yes, of course.” She threw the door open and stood back.
“Thanks.”
“And who is this lovely lady?” She offered her hand for the dog to sniff and was rewarded with a lick across her palm.
“This is Jane. She usually comes to sites with me because I don’t like to leave her home alone all day. Is that gonna be a problem?”
“Not at all. I love do—wait a minute.” She stood upright and shook her head side to side twice. “Your dog’s name is…Jane?”
He nodded.
“As in…Jane Fonda?”
He shot his index finger at her and grinned. “Got it in one.”
Her lips lifted. “Oh, my God. That’s just…”
He put the box down, tugged off his skull cap, and ruffled his hair into place. “I know, but it really is the perfect name for her. Now, to answer you,” he said as he zipped his jacket down, “My crew is currently out doing two other projects that require several people each. Yours are relatively easy and I can do them without help.”

ll have preorder links and GoodReads link up next. For now…happy reading. ~ Peg

So today, five things to know about me…(I’m not too conceited, am I, lol!!)
~ I recently lost 62 pounds. The fact that I had that much weight to lose makes me crazy, but it took over a year and I am determined it stay off!
~ I sleep only 2-3 hours a night due to menopause-induced insomnia- and yes, it’s a thing! No cure.
~ I am techNOsavvy. Truly. I freak out whenever something goes wrong with my computer or phone or Ipad. I turn into a toddler having a tantrum and no one can deal with me.
~ I hate traveling. I am a real hermit and would never come out of my house if I didn’t have to. The pandemic shutdown and isolation? Didn’t have any effect on me because I was already staying home every day.
~ I have voted in every election since I’ve been legally allowed to, wherever I have lived. I’ve even voted for categories like dog catcher and coroner. It is a privilege to be able to vote and I never shirk the task. Ever!

I’m currently editing my next HEAVEN’S MATCHMAKER, LOVE MATCH, book 2 in the series. I don’t have a release date yet, but here’s a little taste of what’s to come.
“Let’s go grab lunch,” he said after a moment. “We can discuss it, iron out all the details over a burger or a sandwich.”
She blinked several times, hearing his voice, but the words made no sense. “What?”
“Lunch? You know? That meal between breakfast and dinner?”
She gaped up at him, her toes starting to tingle when he grinned down at her.
“I’m assuming you’re done visiting for today?”
She nodded.
He returned the motion. “And I just finished visiting with mine. I’m hungry and I have a long afternoon ahead of me, so why don’t we head into town, grab something to eat and we can go over what it is you want me to do? Sound good?”
It took her a few moments of internal debate before she finally said, “I could eat.”
