Her Rebel Heart Pre-Release Giveaway!!!
Her Rebel Heart arrives March 7, and I’m giving away a $50 gift card and a signed copy of Moonshine & Magnolias to celebrate! Details below!
Early reviewers are already praising Her Rebel Heart!!
“A poignant, unapologetically southern, laugh out loud look at what it means to truly be seen and loved.” – Kait Nolan
“If you think smart and sassy is sexy, and heroes should come drop dead gorgeous and dedicated to their women, you’re going to love Kaci and Lance.” – Tarina Deaton, military romance author
“I absolutely loved Kaci and Lance. So many snort inducing moments along with the heartaches.” – Anna on Goodreads
About Her Rebel Heart:
Kaci Boudreaux is every Southern mama’s nightmare, including her own. This former Miss Grits would rather tromp around in boots shooting off potato guns—and her mouth—than dress pretty and play nice with the boys. Especially her chauvinistic fellow professors, her ex-husband, and those military cargo pilots she accidentally started a war with.
Lance Wheeler is every Southern belle’s dream, except his ex-fiancé’s. After being left at the altar, he’d love to take his C-130 and fly far, far away. But since his bird technically belongs to Uncle Sam (as does he), a distraction in the form of a feisty fireball of a physics professor will do while he’s waiting for his next deployment with the Air Force.
He’s into her for the fun. She’s into him for the challenge. But when their secrets start slipping out, their hearts will be on the line. She needs roots. He wants to see the world. What will they do about needing each other?

Ten Things You Didn’t Know About MERRIED
Merried is here! And to celebrate, I’m giving you ten funny things you didn’t know about Merried!
iBooks | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo
All books go through revisions, but how many revisions depends on the book. And sometimes, the funniest scenes have to get cut, and sometimes, the research itself is even funnier. So, with that in mind, here are ten random things about MERRIED (no spoilers included, I promise).
10. I searched for llamas in North American history, because I wanted to know if I could have a historically accurate Christmas Llama at the Snow Bride Festival in Bliss. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t. But a shout-out to my Belles for the ideas for awesome alternative animals.)
9. In the first draft of MERRIED, Merry was an artist applying for a job at a local learn-to-paint studio in Bliss.
8. There’s a character in the epilogue who was cut as a photographer in Sugared and almost cut completely in her newly re-assigned profession in Merried. (And she might get a book of her own one day. I have an extended epilogue for Merried that could start the new book.)
7. As I was finishing up the first draft, I looked at SuperHubby and said, “I should reward myself after I get Merried off to my editor.”
He lifted both eyebrows and snickered, and I realized it didn’t quite sound the way I meant it to.
(My editor and I are quite happy in our platonic editor-author relationship. No plans to get married. Just in case you were wondering.)
6. SuperHubby is the reason Max’s grandfather designed the Mrs. Claus diamond ring. (But he did a lot of eye-rolling when I told him the fictional history of the ring, which is always a sign I’m on the right track.)
5. I had to make myself a chart to keep track of Merry’s stepfathers.
4. In the first draft, Max wanted to be a crime novelist instead of a jeweler.
3. The town Merry lived in between disappearing and coming back into Max’s life is the same town my grandma lived in most of my childhood. It was mostly an accident that I used the same town – I was looking for rural towns with good cheese shops in central Illinois.

The Matched Audiobook is here!
Great news for audio lovers! 
The audiobook of Matched (Misfit Brides #2), narrated by the fabulous Karen White, is now available on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon!
I know I shouldn’t claim to have a favorite book, but Lindsey and Will are two characters who stuck with me long, long after I finished writing their love story. And when I listened to Karen’s performance of their story, I laughed more and cried harder than I did when I was writing their story. I can’t even tell you how much I adore this audiobook, and I hope you do too!
If you’re new to audiobooks, you can try Matched for free when you sign up for a 30-day trial of Audible. For details, click HERE.
About Matched:
A country music heartthrob and his long-lost love walk into a wedding…
Will Truitt grew up living a country song. His momma died, his daddy went to prison, and his dog ran away. Now, as superstar Billy Brenton, his life should be pretty dang good. But he hasn’t been able to write a decent song in months. Crashing a wedding in a quirky little bridal-obsessed town is supposed to provide inspiration to get his career back on track. Instead, all he finds are regrets when he comes face-to-face with the only woman to ever crush his heart.
Lindsey Castellano gave up on love a long time ago. As a cutthroat divorce attorney on the outskirts of a town devoted to brides, weddings, and happily ever after, she’s honed her skills at avoiding love, commitment, and inevitable heartbreak. Or so she thought until Will Truitt reappears in her life.
When Lindsey shattered Will’s heart fifteen years ago, she’d been a sorority girl on her way to the top. He’d been a lowly janitor with a dream. Now he’s on top of the world, and she’s the last person he should need or want.
But she’s the only person who has ever inspired his music. And he’s the only man she’s never been able to forget. Have the years made them wiser, stronger, and better able to love, or this time, will they simply crash and burn harder?

About Merried:
He’s the Spare Heir of Bliss’s most famous jewelry shop
Max Gregory’s family is best known for creating and displaying the infamous Mrs. Claus diamond ring, but here in the bridal capital of the world, Max is best known for having a cursed love life. Not that he believes in curses. Or he didn’t, until he met her.
She’s the daughter of a notorious jewel thief
Merry Silver’s parents have wreaked havoc on her life. After her last romantic disaster—thanks, Daddy—she’s fleeing the country for a chance at normal. But first, she has to avoid her favorite ex-boyfriend while she gets her mom married off. Again.
And their Christmas miracle might be a second chance at love
Max was devastated when he discovered why Merry disappeared last year. Now she’s back in Bliss for a wedding, and her father may be after his family’s most prized possession. But is it the diamond Max is worried about? Or is he afraid of losing the only woman who’s ever made him want to settle down?
Either way…the family jewels are in danger.
