Summer in Mount Joy’s blurb makeover
She’s determined to save her family’s ranch—but there’s a cowboy hitch in her plans…in this engagingly endearing romance from USA Today bestselling author Ophelia London…
In a family made almost entirely of successful overachievers, Roxy Elliott is the odd woman out. Yet she’s determined to save her family’s old, run-down ranch from being sold and razed to the ground and, in the process, to prove that she has more heart—and ambition—than her family expected. The only problem? In a town as small as Mount Joy, there’s just one guy who can help her with the ranch’s transformation…and he’s a complete pain in her backside.
Had he known firecracker Roxy Elliott would be his new boss, ex-soldier-turned-cowboy Josh Manning definitely would have taken a hard pass on the town’s new job. He has his own memories from the last time they were together, and he’s not about to let her off the hook a second time. But Josh will do anything to save his family home from foreclosure, even sell his soul to the last woman he ever would have wanted to be partners with. But Roxy Elliott might just surprise him yet…
At first, nothing goes according to plan. The pipes are all rusted, the hideous wallpaper is impossible to remove, and the front porch is one rotten board away from swallowing someone whole. Now the dude ranch is showing some serious potential for not only transforming the community, but both their lives, as well. But while Roxy Elliott is still the loveliest thing to ever cross paths with a grump like Josh, summer romances never last forever…and history has a tendency to repeat itself.

ICYMI… Here’s a little about AIMEE & THE HEATTHROB!
Miles Carlisle is every teen girl’s fantasy. His rugged good looks and exotic British accent have helped catapult his boy band, Seconds to Juliet, to super-stardom. But after two disastrous and very public breakups, Miles isn’t interested in dating just any girl; he wants The One. And the only girl he’s interested in is not only his best friend’s little sister–and off-limits–but won’t even give him the time of day…
As a kid, Aimee Bingham had a huge thing for Miles…until he made fun of her for always tagging along. Now that she’s outgrown both him and her pigtails, the prospect of spending two weeks on tour with the childhood crush who broke her heart isn’t exactly enticing. Except now Miles seems interested. Very interested. And no matter how hard Aimee tries to resist him, her crush is definitely making a comeback.
But everyone knows that falling for a heartthrob is a backstage pass to heartbreak…

Release Day! (and it’s been a while)

Guys! Never an Amish Bride will be my 15th book!
A few years ago, I couldn’t have even fathomed such a number. Having said that, Amish Bride is also my first new release in over three years! AND it’s my very first mass market paperback. Woot!
Yeah, I took a little break from writing sweet romances to having my own sweet romance. In fact, Wife for the Weekend (my last traditionally-publish book) was the story I was writing when I first started dating my now-husband.

Free. Free. Free-free-free.
Do you love FREE books as much as me?
Of course, you do!
For a limited time only, DEFINITELY, MAYBE IN LOVE–my modern day take on Pride & Prejudice–is tooootally free!
[image error] Snag your copy here: Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble
Definitely, Maybe in Love is a modern take on Pride and Prejudice that proves true love is worth risking a little pride.
Spring Honeycutt wants two things: to ace her thesis and save the environment. Easy, right? Uh. No. When her professor suggests with a few changes the thesis could be published, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Except––that means forming a partnership with the very hot, very privileged, very conceited Henry Knightly.
He’s her polar opposite and pushes all her buttons. When she finds there’s more to Henry than his old money and argyle sweaters…it’s hard not to like him––a lot. Suddenly, choosing between what she wants and needs puts Spring at odds with everything she believes in.

Six Feet of Separation
Entangled, Harlequin, Hybrid, and Indie Authors Band Together for #SixFeetofSeparation A Social Distancing Romance Read-A-Thon for April.
The romance reading community has always stood together in good times and bad. Romance authors are smart, tech-savvy, sophisticated, and socially conscious. With movie and television productions shuttering their doors, concert venues canceled, movie theaters closed, and Broadway dimming their lights amid coronavirus concerns, there is one place to turn for entertainment and a temporary escape: books!
Everyone is looking for books to binge-read and bargains to fill their e-readers. While pandemic or outbreak thrillers might be what some readers want right now, romance authors have a different idea. #SixFeetofSeparation ‘A Social Distancing Romance Read-A-Thon’ has a little something for everyone. This binge-worthy collaboration features everything from billionaires to bad boys or ‘The Single Dad Next Door.’ There are púca shapeshifting hunks with Irish swagger, romantic suspense with steamy, hot lies, and sports romance that’s really been ‘Hitting It’ with readers, all for 99 cents or free.
We asked romance author Regina Kyle why she volunteered for this community effort, and she shared: “I lost one of my oldest and dearest friends to Covid-19.” Romance authors have a big heart, and the romance community has always supported readers and each other during difficult times. Romance author A.C. James also owns and operates Rescue Me Author Services said, “We’re all responsible for practicing social distancing. So I wanted to bring readers and authors together, give them a distraction. Everyone wants to stay informed about the virus, but it’s easy to get caught in a loop and forget about self-care. A big part of taking care of yourself is taking time for you, and whether that’s curling up with a cup of coffee and a good book or some other hobby, we need to remember to limit our exposure to the constant stream of media. Books and social distancing games that we’re playing with readers on social media gives everyone a break and positivity.”
We’re all adjusting to the new reality of being socially distant. However, now is the perfect time to indulge in a book with #SixFeetofSeparation: www.rescuemeauthorservices.com/sixfeetofseparation.
