Hope Smolders Now Available!
HOPE SMOLDERS, the introductory novella to the Hope series, has been released today as a digital standalone novella. HOPE SMOLDERS was released last year in the Hot Summer Nights anthology, so if you bought and read it then, no need to do it again. However, if you missed it in the anthology and want to read it now, you can buy it today!
Jane Kline is a struggling divorcee and single mother with a social life on hold. Not only does Jane not have the time to date anyone, she’s not even going to consider making herself vulnerable to another man after being deserted by her husband. That’s why Will Griffin, her ex’s former best friend, takes her totally by surprise.
What would such a hot and sexy wild card see in a harried mother juggling two kids and two jobs? For starters, everything Jane no longer sees in herself. As she dares to take the flirtation to the next step, Jane finds herself back where she never wanted to be—falling for another man. Now it’s up to Will to convince Jane that she has everything he wants in a woman, and that the second time around can be the best time of all.
You can purchase HOPE SMOLDERS at the following locations:
Hope you enjoy Jane and Will’s story!

Hope Ignites ARC Giveaway!
Hey, guess what? HOPE IGNITES, Book Two of the Hope series, releases on March 25th! That’s like only six weeks away. Which means it’s time for an ARC Giveaway!
When a movie crew asks to film on his cattle ranch, Logan McCormack doesn’t expect Desiree Jenkins, the young sought-after star, to be so open, so down-to-earth, or so intimately interested in him. But the last thing a loner like Logan needs is a distraction like Des, who wouldn’t understand what it’s like to live peacefully off the land.
But it’s Logan who doesn’t understand. What Des wants is an escape from paparazzi and gossip columns, and she’s found it at Logan’s ranch. Now it’s up to her to prove that she’s like any other girl looking to be accepted for who she is. And she’s hoping that it’s by this real life cowboy who has everything it takes—and more—to give her the kind of happily ever after that can’t be found in the movies.
Leave a comment to be entered to win an ARC. I’ll draw winners on Monday! NOTE: Please come back on Monday to see if you’ve won, because winners will need to email me their mailing info. Winners will have 5 days to contact me or I’ll choose new winners.

Sabrina Daniels is looking for a new life after a bitter divorce from a controlling husband. She finds the answer to her dreams of the future in Kyle Morgan, who’s looking for an investor in his Rocking M Ranch in Dreamwater, Oklahoma. It’s a fresh start for Sabrina, and she’s always wanted to own a ranch.
Kyle’s ranch is in trouble, but Sabrina is even more trouble, and he wants nothing to do with a woman who knows nothing about ranching. But Sabrina has the money, and she’s a reluctant solution to his financial problems.
Working side by side, Kyle and Sabrina find surprising common ground, and a sizzling chemistry neither can deny. They both have hearts in need of rescue, and love is the sweetest savior.

Vivian Arend’s HIGH SEDUCTION – ARC Giveaway
The amazing Vivian Arend is guesting on the blog today, showcasing her upcoming book, HIGH SEDUCTION, part of her Adrenaline Search and Rescue series. And there’s also a giveaway, so read on about this great series! ~ Jaci
High Seduction
Adrenaline Search & Rescue, Book 3
LIFELINE: an elite
search-and-rescue squad based out of Banff, Alberta. Specializing in high-risk rescue missions,
this team goes wherever the job takes them…
As the chopper pilot for the elite Lifeline search-and-rescue team, Erin Tate is used to handling power. Calling the shots in the air is one thing—in the bedroom it leaves her cold. What she wants is a man strong enough to strip away her control.
Paramedic Timothy Dextor has a wild card reputation, and the dark appetites to prove it. The only thing missing is a woman he can share them with. Landing a position on the Lifeline squad puts his old flame back within reach. He already knows what Erin needs, and this time he’s not letting her go.
But when an emergency throws Erin and Timothy together in unanticipated ways, the stakes are raised—on the job and off. Now they’ll both discover the real meaning of control…and the risks that come from falling in love.

Excerpt:
…….
It might be too soon, but part of having grown up meant Tim was not going to lie, not even by omission. “That as well, but I’m really here for you. I want you back, Erin, and I’m willing to work for it.”
Between them the water rippled as a family swam past, the small waves cresting over her skin and his where they lay side by side. A minor tremor, miles apart from the tsunami of passion that could flood over them soon if he had his way.
Erin lifted her gaze to meet his. Stared silently for a good sixty seconds. Nothing but the gurgle of the pool gutters and low voices.
His breathing.
Hers.
She rolled toward him, increasing the contact points between them. His arm rested between her breasts, her knee slightly over his thigh, and he tensed. She was solid muscle and soft skin. A combination of strength and feminine beauty that he could hardly wait to experience all over again.
“You’re awfully confident. What if I don’t want you back? What if I told you that while you’re a part of my past, I don’t want you in my future?”
“Not even as a co-worker?”
She trickled her fingers over his chest and he held his breath, fascinated by this new side of her. Bolder, more determined. He loved it, and wondered how long she’d hold that stance.
Erin tilted her head as she dribbled water over his skin. “I could work with you. You are talented, and the team could use you.”
“I have talents in other areas as well,” he teased.
“So do Devon and Alisha, but I don’t sleep with them.”
“Touché.” He crossed his arms under his head, tightening his abdomen as she continued to drive him mad. “So you won’t sleep with me. I can handle that. Until you ask.”
She snapped her fingertips against his stomach, the tiny blow stinging on the wet, bare skin. “You’re such an ass.”

Hope Flames Release Day!!
It’s release day for HOPE FLAMES, the first book in my new contemporary romance series! I’m super excited about this new series, and I hope you all will be as well.
When it comes to love, they already know the rules…by heart.
Thirty-two and finally setting up her veterinary practice in the town she once called home, Emma Burnett is on her own and loving it. Independent and driven, she’s not letting any man get in the way of her dreams. Not again.
That’s fine with Luke McCormack. Divorced and hardly lacking in female company when he needs it, he’s devoted to the only faithful companion in his life—his police dog. Still, there’s something about Emma he can’t shake.
When a series of local break-ins leave Emma vulnerable, she seeks help from the one man who sparks her desire for the first time in years. And now they’re giving each other something they thought they’d lost forever…hope.
HOPE FLAMES is available at your local bookstore or retailer, or online, in both print and e-book as well as audio.

I hope you enjoy HOPE FLAMES. As always, I’m anxious to hear what you think.
