New Billionaire Bride Pact Books
It's been so much fun to be a part of the Billionaire Bride Pact series. I thought I'd be thoroughly sick of billionaires by now, but I am sad to say goodbye to this series. It's actually really fun to have unlimited resources (who knew?).
If you have room on your blog and would be willing to post about the books, that would be amazing. I'm going to paste in the information about The Daring One and its short companion novel, The Disenchanted One, then I had some requests to list all the bride pact novels in order. Also, the bride pact novels were picked up by an amazing audio producer, Blackstone Audio, and most are now available for pre-order.
Happy reading and thank you so much for all the wonderful support!
Hugs,
Cami
The Daring One is available on Amazon
Summer Anderson has the perfect life--designing toys and traveling the world--until the venture capitalist company, Mumford's Sons, helps her dad sell his toy company to the highest bidder. Summer loses her designs, her job, and her lifestyle, and is forced to work for a friend in Crested Butte, Colorado.
Chance Judd, owner of Mumford's Sons, takes a mountain biking trip to Crested Butte and accidentally runs Summer off a running trail. He asks her out repeatedly, but she always has a sarcastic response ready for him. When he finally convinces her to go to dinner, he realizes that he is partly responsible for her losing her job and designs, and knows she'll hate him if she finds out the truth. He has no choice--he lies.
But how long can a secret this big stay hidden and will Summer ever forgive him when she finds out the truth?
The Disenchanted One is available for only $.99 on Barnes & Noble * Amazon * iTunes * Kobo * Inkterra * Scribd
Marissa Yates fell in love with Byron Judd three years ago, but she caught him holding another woman and she ran. She’s built a great life for herself and has kept Byron at arm’s length, only talking to him through phone, email, or text. She knows if she sees him again, he’ll charm his way right back into her heart.
Byron has no clue why Marissa ran from his life, but he does know his only chance to win her back is his brother’s wedding. His brother’s fiancée, Summer, schemes up a Lonely Billionaire Pact to help him be reunited with the only woman who has ever broken his heart.

New Romance for the New Year
All of our cell phones started ringing at 5:35 a.m. this morning. It was the school telling us that because of heavy snowfall in the night school had been pushed back two hours. Yay for my teenagers being able to sleep in! My 6yo came to my room half asleep. I told him Kindergarten was cancelled. He kissed my cheek, climbed into my bed, and fell back to sleep until nine.
Even though I was happy to be off-schedule today, I really love New Years and all the resolutions and the kick to get more done. I'm excited to announce two Billionaire Bride Pact romances that will be coming out this week and my Park City Firefighter Romance will be out February 1st. There are so many amazing books out this week. I'll paste a bunch of them in below. Click on the cover to buy or read a free sample. Hope you're having a wonderful New Year!
The Daring One is my sixth and final bride pact (sad!). The Disenchanted One is a short companion novel that follows The Daring One. It is only $.99.
This firefighter series is so great. I hope you're enjoying them. Rescue My Heart and Rescue Me are already available and Two Hearts Rescue will be out January 17th. You can pre-order Two Hearts Rescue here.
Blurb for Two Hearts Rescue:
Poppy Mercier is not good enough. At least that what she's always been told and she believes. After tumultuous college years she returns to her hometown of Park City, Utah and soon encounters a handsome young fireman who makes her doubt her own self-doubts.
Slade Powers isn't interested, at least not like that. He's the new guy on the Park City Fire Department and is struggling to get a side business off the ground. He's been burned in love before and has no desire to expose himself like that again. But when he meets the girl whose smile can outshine the sun, he knows he's in trouble.
Will these two broken souls overcome their pasts to find love or is it too late for either of them to be rescued?
My darling friend, Jennifer Youngblood, has a new cover and name for one of my favorite romantic suspense novels, When Darkness Falls. If you haven't read this book, I think you'll love it. I'm reading it over again and I rarely do that.
Find Promise Me Love on Amazon.
Fast-paced suspense meets sweet romance in this touching and tender clean love story.
Interior designer Chloe Kensley tries to put her life back together after her fiancé, Dan, is killed. But that’s not easy, considering she’s seeing his ghost. Is she imagining things, or is Dan reaching out to her?
Needing a fresh start, Chloe takes a glamorous new design job in Salt Lake City, where she gets caught up in a love triangle with two very different brothers—Garrett, the charming, playful younger brother and Hank, her straight-laced boss. But there’s more to the brothers than meets the eye. Chloe unwittingly becomes the pawn in a perilous game of intrigue and betrayal.
Will the ghosts of the past prevent Chloe from finding true love, or will the promise of a new love shine through in the end?
I'm excited to announce a new Destination Billionaire Romance. You can't go wrong with a hot, thoughtful, determined cowboy. Loved Kip and I adored Cassie's twin boys.
Find Kip on Amazon.
Cassie Carter, a single mother of three-year-old twin boys, took a new job after her husband dies in an accident. The nanny position in Park City, Utah, is for a wealthy family who live the simple country life—plus a few billion dollars. As blown away as she is by the mountains, mansion, and horses, it all fades in comparison to Kip Morgan.
Kip is a horse trainer and reality television star who can send her pulse into a stampede with just one touch. While Cassie works to sort out her feelings and what really happened to her late husband, her boys become Kip’s biggest fans. Caught in a dangerous web her late husband left behind, Cassie scrambles to protect her family from harm and her heart from Kip. However, Kip holds the key to unlocking the mystery behind her husband’s death and the chance at new love. Cassie will have to trust him or risk leaving herself and her boys at the mercy of her husband’s killers.

Firefighter Romances
I decided yesterday was the day to teach my 10yo and 6yo boys how to snow ski. They both were extremely car sick on the way up the canyon. I'll let you imagine the mess and the smell. The first three-quarters of the day on the mountain they spent more time crashing and crying than skiing. The beauty of the day was that they did figure it out by the last hour, and happily skiied down several runs by themselves.
But the really amazing thing were the heroes that helped me out, without me ever asking. From my 14yo son and nephew literally carrying them down the mountain at first to progressing to just holding hands and encouraging when they crashed. I can't even remember how many men helped us throughout the day -- picking one of the boys up when they were in a tangled heap and I was trying to get to them, and helping them on their way -- bringing a ski or a pole to us that had flown the wrong direction -- giving them pounds or high fives and words of encouragement -- carrying six sets of skis, poles, and boots to my van while the teenagers and I carried the little boys who were "frozen and dying".
Chivalry and heroism is definitely alive in my mind and the reason I am absolutely in love with the new Park City Firefighter Romances. Christine Kersey, Taylor Hart, Daniel Banner (firefighter extraordinaire and my editor), and I have joined up to write about these heroes who are sometimes broken but always brave. I hope you love the series as much as I do. Taylor's and Christine's books are available today. Daniel's book will be coming out mid-January with mine to round out the series in February.
Find Rescue Me by Taylor Hart on Amazon
Damon Freestone, ex firefighter for the Boston FD, didn’t want to come back to his hometown--Park City, Utah--or work for the fire department. Six months earlier, after losing a candidate under his command, all he really knows about life is that you usually don’t get what you want.
Samantha Worthington only wants one thing—to get back to her sister in Colorado. Fresh out of law school, the only job she finds that will pay the bills is in Park City. But she never anticipated her adrenaline junkie, cliff-diving ways might lead to kissing the stranger who claimed he's trying to rescue her. Good thing she kissed him, then slapped him for good measure.
After Damon takes Sam to dinner, dancing and zip lining—he’s pretty sure he’s falling off more then a cliff.
When an emergency takes Sam back to Colorado, Damon has to make a choice—follow her and try to rescue her again…or let it all go up in smoke.
Find Rescue My Heart by Christine Kersey on Amazon
After escaping a stifling relationship, Lacey Porter moves to Park City eager to enjoy her newfound freedom and to renew her love of drawing. When an accident at work brings her face to face with Jake Davis, hot fireman, and the same guy who helped her on the side of the road a few days before, she can’t stop thinking about his good looks and kind heart—but there’s no way she can trust herself after her last relationship fail.
Jake Davis has it all—his dream job firefighting, extra work as a part-time realtor, plenty of women around to date casually…life couldn’t get much better. He never expected to meet a woman who seemed so strong yet vulnerable. Something about Lacey touches him, but when she continually rebuffs his attempts to go out, he wonders if he’ll get a chance to know the real her.
Lacey finally agrees to have dinner with Jake, but that doesn’t matter because she isn’t ready to trust anyone, especially after Jake makes a decision that leaves Lacey questioning how he really feels about her.
New release by Cindy Roland Anderson, Destiny Came Knocking , includes a bonus epilogue! Only $2.99 or Free with Kindle Unlimited.
When Piper Jensen’s dog has a litter of puppies that aren’t anything like their purebred mother, she immediately suspects the culprit responsible for the mishap is her neighbor’s derelict dog. Seeking restitution, Piper confronts the owner, Gabe Wesson, a single father of two children that likes to keep to himself. She isn’t prepared for Gabe to be so handsome, nor so disagreeable, and is irritated by his demands for a paternity test to prove his dog is the sire. As she and Gabe try to work things out, they both fight a growing attraction neither one of them want. But when Piper finds her heart falling in love with his children, it might be the catalyst that tips the scale towards a destiny she never dreamed possible.
For a limited time, the first book in the Snow Valley Romance series, An Unexpected Kiss , is only 99 cents! This revised edition has a beautiful new cover, and now includes a bonus epilogue that you won't want to miss out on!
Oh, Come On, Be Faithful is still available for only $.99 until December 26th. Find 28 other Christmas romances for only $.99 listed on my blog.

Keri's Christmas Wish by Pamela Thibodeaux
Can Keri get past her angst over Christ’s birth and enjoy the Christmas
season?
Blurb:
For as long as she can remember, Keri Jackson has despised the hype and
commercialism around Christmas so much she seldom enjoys the holiday. Will she
get her wish and be free of the angst to truly enjoy Christmas this year?
A devout Christian at heart, Jeremy Hinton, a Psychotherapist, Life
Coach, Spiritual Mentor and Energy Medicine Practitioner has studied all of the
world’s religions and homeopathic healing modalities. But when a rare bacterial
infection threatens the life of the woman he loves, will all of his faith and
training be for naught?
Find out in Keri’s Christmas Wish - Available at Amazon
Excerpt: Later that
evening, Keri sat in her apartment bewildered and confused. Her search around the
apartment complex after work had uncovered not a single string of wind chimes.
Not one. She’d found nothing to explain the music she’d heard while drifting
off after her evening prayer the night before.
Goose bumps rose on her flesh in response to the shiver that shook her
soul. Could it be God used the music to acknowledge her prayer? Would this be
the year she finally let go of all the angst she felt around Christmas and just
enjoyed one of the holiest seasons? Would her Christmas wish finally be granted?

Searching for Love by Christine Kersey
My friend and fellow author, Christine Kersey, has just put her popular sweet romance series, Searching for Love, into Kindle Unlimited! Find it on Amazon here.
A MODERN CINDERELLA STORY
Newly divorced and deeply wounded, all Reese Montgomery wants is to find true love. After her ex-husband tells her she no longer measures up and then unceremoniously dumps her, she realizes her background--a father in prison, an alcoholic mother--makes her undesirable. When she meets Brody Ford on a beach in Malibu, her attraction is instant, as is her certainty that they are all wrong for each other.
Brody, a self-made man from a close-knit family, is lonely. After losing the woman he loves in a car accident, he believes he'll never love again. When a chance encounter brings Reese into his life, something about her touches him. And he wants more. But her reluctance to open her heart forces him to work harder to win her over than he's ever had to work before.
Will they be able to heal the hurts each carries, or are they too wounded to find the love they're searching for?

The Faithful One - a new Billionaire Bride Pact Romance for Christmas
Yay for the billionaire bride pact! Jeanette Lewis asked me to write two more stories in the set. The Faithful One was originally dubbed The Lost One because Trin is the only friend who everybody has lost track of. I found her and she is awesome. Honestly, I just loved her and her story, most especially the billionaire heartthrob who literally shows up at her door, well, the door of her family's bed and breakfast that is now owned by said heartthrob's father. It's all kinds of drama, but that's what I love about it. I hope you enjoy the book. Hugs!

Excerpt of The Faithful One
“I try not to eat sugar, but there must
be exceptions.”
Trin eyed him warily. “I don’t trust
anyone who doesn’t eat sugar.”
Zander chuckled. The warmth and depth of
it washed over Trin. She had to resist fanning her face. Darn southern heat,
right? It wasn’t him that was heating her up. But it was November and the high
today was only seventy. She couldn’t really blame the environment for the flush
to her skin.
“I’m eating it right now.” He took
another bite of the cookie and a crumble of cinnamon sugar clung to the side of
his lip. “Does that mean you can trust me?”
“You’re wearing it right now.” Trin
reached up and brushed the crumble from his lip. Her fingers seemed to linger
of their own accord. His lips and beard were much softer than they looked.
His eyes flashed up to meet hers. She
swallowed hard and dropped her hand.
“Thank you,” he murmured.
Trin nodded and spun on her heel. Her
heels clicked merrily on the tile floor. He followed her to the grand staircase
and they walked side by side up it. He ran his hand along the oak banister.
“Wow. I just keep feeling like I’m stuck in Gone
with the Wind.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
“That show terrified me. I’m waiting for
Scarlett to sweep down the stairs and tell me off.”
Trin laughed. “I’m scared of spiders,”
she commiserated.
“And you live in the south?”
“I know, dumb, right?”
“I’ll kill all your spiders if you keep
Scarlett away from me.”
They reached the landing and Zander
extended his hand. Trin shook his hand, loving the feel of his strong fingers
surrounding hers. “Deal.” She pulled her hand back, lest she forget she had a
lot of reasons to be wary of this good-looking, lying man. “Women scare you?”
“No, just harpies.”
Trin had a flashback to him being on The Bachelor. He had gotten rid of any
snarky or demanding women as quickly as possible. He’d ended up with some real
sweethearts, but they still hadn’t made the cut. She would love to ask him
about it sometime. If he ever owned up to who he was.
“I’ll keep the harpies away.” She smiled
at him and pointed to her right. “Just down this hall, sir.”
“Oh, no, not you too. Everybody in the
south calls me, sir, and I have to look around for my dad.”
Trin understood thinking only older
people should be called sir and ma’am, but she saw an opportunity and pounced.
What if she was one of the harpies she’d just promised to keep him away from?
She thought how to phrase the question, but settled for, “Are you close to your
dad?”
He nodded quickly. “He’s good to me.”
They reached the Sunny Suite.
“So, this is me?” Zander asked. He leaned
against the door and Trin was reminded all over again why women thought he was
such a heartthrob. The casual elegance. The perfectly sculpted facial features.
The nicely-formed muscles that were large enough to be noticeable, but not
bulky. He was obviously quite the athlete. She sighed and then caught herself.
“Yep.” Producing the key, she turned it
in the lock, swung the door open, and handed him the key.
His fingers clasped around hers with the
key between them. “No key cards at the Cloverdale Mansion?”
“No, sir.” Her house was old school and
she liked it.
He smiled and released her hand. Trin
took in a quick breath, reeling from his touch and the look in his eyes. He
still hadn’t turned from staring at her to look into the room. It was one of
her favorites—spacious and sunlit. He should probably check it out and stop
checking out her.
“Are you pleased with your
accommodations, sir?”
Zander cast a quick glance around the
huge suite with large windows overlooking the rear lawn and gardens, a sitting
area, huge bathroom with the original claw-foot tub and a brand new
glass-enclosed shower, the four-poster bed that wasn’t original, but was period
specific. He refocused quickly on Trin’s face. “It’s exquisitely beautiful.”
