Second Chance Kisses: Echo Ridge Romance
I'm so excited to have a new Echo Ridge Romance Anthology out. Find Second Chance Kisses on Amazon.
Do you remember your first love? Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had a second chance to follow your heart? In this collection of novellas written by award-winning and bestselling authors, come home to Echo Ridge as summer winds down and hearts once broken and lost are given one more chance, a second chance to love.
A Brand New Second Chance by Lucy McConnell
With a broken heart and an unsure future, Abigail Martin moves home to Echo Ridge to capture the parts of her teenage years she missed out on because she’d had a steady boyfriend. Kissing a random guy, flirting with strangers, hanging out at Fay’s after a football game—all of it. Carter Montgomery offers his help, because he’s a helpful kind of guy, and she quickly falls for his quiet humor, kindness, and heated kisses. Fearing that she hasn’t lived enough of life to settle down, Abigail must decide if she’s going to break Carter’s heart or give love a brand new second chance.
A Perfect Fit by Janette Rallison
Jojo Halifax believes that winning Echo Ridge's float competition is just what her fledgling art career needs. And if that means giving her ex-boyfriend, Anthony, a second chance so she can be a designer on his team, well, she's willing to make the sacrifice. But when a lost bet leads to a blind date with her brother's friend, Wyatt, she begins to have second thoughts about second chances. Wyatt is handsome and charming and just might have been paid to make her forget about Anthony. Is falling for his charm worth the risk or should she take Anthony back again?
Almost Home by Heather Tullis
Damon lived in ten towns while growing up, but Echo Ridge is one of the few that started to feel like home before his parents relocated their family again. Now a widower, moving back to the small ski resort town is irresistible for him—but somewhat less so for his daughter, Maggie. Learning that Haley, the girl who had gotten away, is back in town is an unexpected bonus.
When Haley left a high-powered job in New York City to take care of her grandmother, she never expected to run into the boy she’d been crushing on sixteen years earlier. When they end up working together on the homecoming float, she finds the attraction between them just as compelling as before. But when given a choice, will she give him her heart, or leave love behind to return to her job in the city?
Change of Plans by Cami Checketts
Kaitlyn Johanson comes home to Echo Ridge planning to bring the sparks back with her high school boyfriend, Mason, work at Kenworth's, and enjoy family and the beautiful valley. She never expected her heartthrob, national-acclaimed lacrosse player, Axel Olsen, would visit her hometown. When Axel steals her attention and possibly her heart from the man she was supposed to marry, she has to choose if she'll take a risk on new love or give old love a second chance.
Coming Home to Love by Rachelle J. Christensen
When Laney Richins left Echo Ridge, New York eight years ago, she vowed she’d never return, but life had other plans. Those plans included her cute little boy and a divorce, so Laney moved back home and started over. Working in the flower shop seems like the perfect plan until Billy Redford, the man she should have married shows up.
Billy Redford’s heart was broken when his high school sweetheart turned her back on him and fled Echo Ridge for the big city lights. Running into Laney in Echo Ridge now brings up past feelings he thought were long gone. She’s prettier than ever, still seems to read his mind, and despite his protests ends up on the building and decorating committee with him for the Homecoming dance. Billy knows how to build just about anything, but he isn’t sure he knows how to mend a broken heart.

Gorgeous and kind. And everything she wants in a guy. Trouble is, he’s also her very best friend. Can Kylie tear herself free from the friend-zone in time to get asked to the Christmas dance?

Jake, Chancy’s boyfriend, takes an instant dislike to Gabe and warns Chancy to stay away from him.

Callie Given, a cancer patient at Primary Children’s Hospital, only has one wish for Christmas—dinner with Brooks Stone. He flatly refuses, until Sam Dumont threatens to make sure the coaches bench him if he doesn’t comply.
Ana Given thought fighting for her daughter’s life was enough of a challenge. She never expected famous football player Brooks Stone to actually show up. If he was a friend of her ex-husband, he’s definitely not someone she wants hanging around her daughter. Good thing she sends him away. Too bad her daughter sees him before he can leave.
When Brooks and Ana find themselves on a quest to find Callie’s father, neither would have imagined getting on a plane together, going to a cage fight, or…kissing. Brooks wonders how these two women have become everything to him in less than seventy-two hours.
Now he has to make a decision—get what he wanted for Christmas or become the player he was always meant to be.

From the award-winning author of the bestselling novel
The Soldier’s Bride read the story of
a carpenter who gave a music box to a young polio victim, but held the magic of
the melody inside his heart.
He hesitated only half
a second before lowering his head. There was something there, behind his eyes,
in his soul. Something that seemed familiar to Sophie. She didn’t know Leland,
but she recognized that haunted look in his eyes. He had lost someone. He had
weathered the storm and still manned his ship, sailing forward through life.
Book blurb:
World War II has ended but the scars
of the war have carved deep grooves in Sophie Wright’s heart. Now a widow with
two young children, she returns home to Aspen Falls and meets Leland Halverson,
a handsome carpenter who appears interested in her, but afraid of a
relationship.
Leland wishes he was worthy of the
beautiful Sophie, and he adores her two children, but his past still haunts
him. Sophie knows that Leland fell apart after his little girl died and his
wife left him, but she doesn’t know the real reason why.
Meanwhile, David Alexander, a decorated
bomber pilot has returned to Aspen Falls, and Sophie catches his eye. Confused
by the two vastly different choices of men, Sophie searches for answers from a
heart that has betrayed her before.
When Sophie discovers a message
inside a music box that Leland once owned, the pieces start to fit together.
The enchanting melody urges her to share the secrets of her heart so that she
can understand his. Leland knows the tune from the music box well and if he can
find the courage, he’ll carve a melody for Sophie from the solid wood
surrounding his heart.

From the award-winning author of the bestselling novel
The Soldier’s Bride read the story of
a carpenter who gave a music box to a young polio victim, but held the magic of
the melody inside his heart.
He hesitated only half
a second before lowering his head. There was something there, behind his eyes,
in his soul. Something that seemed familiar to Sophie. She didn’t know Leland,
but she recognized that haunted look in his eyes. He had lost someone. He had
weathered the storm and still manned his ship, sailing forward through life.
Book blurb:
World War II has ended but the scars
of the war have carved deep grooves in Sophie Wright’s heart. Now a widow with
two young children, she returns home to Aspen Falls and meets Leland Halverson,
a handsome carpenter who appears interested in her, but afraid of a
relationship.
Leland wishes he was worthy of the
beautiful Sophie, and he adores her two children, but his past still haunts
him. Sophie knows that Leland fell apart after his little girl died and his
wife left him, but she doesn’t know the real reason why.
Meanwhile, David Alexander, a decorated
bomber pilot has returned to Aspen Falls, and Sophie catches his eye. Confused
by the two vastly different choices of men, Sophie searches for answers from a
heart that has betrayed her before.
When Sophie discovers a message
inside a music box that Leland once owned, the pieces start to fit together.
The enchanting melody urges her to share the secrets of her heart so that she
can understand his. Leland knows the tune from the music box well and if he can
find the courage, he’ll carve a melody for Sophie from the solid wood

New Last Play Romance and a free book
My honey goes in for surgery in the morning
for his shoulder so I'm going to get four hours
of uninterrupted writing time (focusing on
the positive) I should be able to get my next
Echo Ridge Romance finished and start on
a fun Mansions set I'm doing with Lindzee
Armstrong (Moriah's brother, Harrison from
The Faithful One and Cancun Getaway is the
hero :). I have another Billionaire Beach
Romance coming out in a couple of weeks,
just waiting on editors and cover art.
Help with the title! Do you like:
Cruise Ship Evasion, Onboard for Love,
or The Love Cruise?
Thank you for all your support with the
release of Cancun Getaway. Because of
all of you, it was #1 for Christian Romance,
Inspirational Romance, Christian Novels,
and Deals on Books.
A fun release today for all of you.
Yay for a new Last Play Romance
by Taylor Hart! Taylor is offering
The Bet: A Snow Valley Romance
for free for today only.
Have a wonderful day!
Jace Harding, running back for the Denver Storm, doesn’t expect to have his old neighbor, the beautiful Addison Livingston, pass out in his arms when he was only trying to eat at his favorite restaurant. But he really didn’t expect to discover she’s eight months pregnant, on bed rest, and her husband had passed away, either. The kicker to the whole situation is when he finds himself offering to help out by moving in with her.
Addison Livingston is not going to have the professional football player move in with her! What would the neighbors think, especially the nosy cat woman, Mrs. Hensley? Not to mention the fact … drumroll … they don’t even know each other! Too bad she needs his help and when he offers to throw an obscene amount of money at the nonprofit organization she’s involved with…she finds herself accepting.
After Jace cooks for her, rubs her feet, and takes her to Lamaze class…she never imagined their tentative friendship could actually turn into something real. Now they are left with a choice—let the past prevent the future…or make one last play for the End Zone.
