Only 99¢ The Stone Family Heart
A woman looking for a vacation. A man who hates vacations. Will a hurricane re-kindle a long lost love?
Kensi Stone comes to South Port to take care of the Inn for two weeks and to get away from the drama of her ex husband. Little did she know that a hurricane would hit and Tim Tucker would end up coming to her rescue. The same Tim Tucker she'd been in love with all those years ago. The same Tim Tucker who had broken her heart.
It had been a rough two years for Tim. After losing his wife to cancer, he didn't like the looks of pity that people in the town seemed to give him. He was the sheriff for heaven's sake, not to mention an ex marine; hard was part of his life. But hard gets dissolved quickly when he finds himself in Kensi's presence. The trouble is the woman is still punishing him for the stupid thing he'd said to her all those years ago. The stupid thing was, he'd thought he'd been protecting her.
As the six Stone siblings find a way back to each other, they must learn to let go of what doesn’t matter and cling to the things their parents always wanted for them; family, love, and fun memories on the beach.

A man who’s been left at the altar. A woman who doesn’t need any help! Will they give each other a second chance?
From kindle all-star, Taylor Hart! The South Port Beach Series!
Marshall Stone didn't become the kind of helicopter pilot that extracts Delta Force and Navy SEALs by being a wimp. No. He has grit and he demands that same grit in everyone around him. Too bad that getting left at the altar and grounded from flying makes him question himself. But, he's fine. More than fine. Coming back to South Port to help with the Family Inn is easy work until he runs into Kat Dixon. The girl who had once been his best friend, until she’d dashed his heart to pieces ten years ago.
If Katherine Dixon, had learned anything, it was that life wasn’t fair and you had to work like crazy to get what you wanted. After losing her husband the previous year, she’d been running a bakery and deli all on her own. Not to mention raising her nine-year-old son. When her car breaks down and none other than too big for his britches, Marshall, shows up she tells him she doesn’t need his help. She doesn’t want his help. She wouldn’t take his help if she were hanging from a cliff and holding on with one hand.
Good thing—he helps her anyway. When a stalker keeps showing up, leaving strange things for Kat and clues to the Conquistador’s gold fall into their hands, they must make a decision; trust each other or fall for the lies of the past.
As these six Stone siblings find a way back to each other, they must learn to let go of what doesn’t matter and cling to the things their parents always wanted for them--family, love, and fun memories on the beach.

Brooks Stone, FBI superhero, strike that, demoted FBI now … doesn’t want to talk about why he had a mental break a year ago. He doesn’t want to talk about his dead partner. He really doesn’t want to talk about why the tremor in his hand won’t go away. When he agrees to watch the family Inn for two weeks, he finds himself looking forward to the peace of South Port. Too bad he meets a strange woman with eyes that remind him of the ocean and an attitude so bad, she could scare off any lethal assassin, except him of course.
Serenity Rome only knew one thing about life; it was hard. Good thing she could do hard. She’d done hard when her father had left when she was ten. She’d done hard when her mother had been given the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s five years ago. And she’d done even harder when the man she’d married had turned violent and threatened to kill her. Now, as she rus for her life, all she knows is that she has to find the Conquistador’s gold. The gold her family journal proves she had claim to.
When she wakes up on a park bench, and discovers she’s face to face with Brooks Stone, one of the infamous Stone family, she has no idea why he offers to have her stay at his family Inn. She only agrees to it because it gives her an opportunity to learn more about this treasure. Not because the man is gorgeous. No. She could care less about how gorgeous he is or how he seems to see right through her lies, but wants to help her anyway. No, she doesn’t care about any of that.
As these six Stone siblings find a way back to each other, they must learn to let go of what doesn’t matter and cling to the things their parents always wanted for them--family, love, and fun memories on the beach.

A warrior losing his faith. A not quite love from summer’s past. A second chance at love that might soothe the broken parts in both of them.
★★★★★From kindle all-star and USA Today author, Taylor Hart! The South Port Beach Series!
Trent Stone, Navy SEAL, won’t give up his obsession with finding the conquistador gold. He's going to crack the cipher. He doesn’t care if it’s the week of Christmas, he doesn’t care if his siblings think he’s crazy, and he really doesn’t care if his twin thinks he needs to relax. He’s NOT relaxing. Okay, maybe he’ll relax a little bit and go on a date with a girl who interrupts his warrior chanting. Not because she’s beautiful or he discovers she left him a note the day before she moved when they were sixteen. Only because he needs to eat. Having dinner with someone doesn’t mean he's RELAXING, he's not!
Liberty Grey doesn’t want to be in South Port. She doesn’t want to sell the house she inherited from her grandmother and she really doesn’t want to run into the jerk guy who unknowingly broke her heart twelve years ago. Not THAT big of a heart break. She's had plenty of other things that really broke her heart in the past two years that the teenage stuff seems silly. But it takes her by surprise when he asks her to dinner. She tells him no. She couldn't. It's too soon. Plus, she doesn’t date. Even though her therapist told her she needs to open her heart again, she can't. Especially not to a guy like Trent Stone. No way. Pfft. Okay, maybe she noticed he's built and kind of hot with his SEAL attitude of 'kicking down doors and taking no prisoners' but ... she can't.
When a chance meeting awakens memories neither of them expected, they find themselves—not just kissing in the library, but messing things up so badly that they one of his father's journals breaks ... and a trail of Polaroid’s fall out. Polaroids that just might be the clues to deciphering the numbers on the treasure map his parents left behind.
When Liberty insists on helping him figure it all out, they never would have imagined the fun, the danger, or the love they might fall into. Will they find the gold so many have searched for?

**Excerpt from The Stone Family Lighthouse:**
It wasn’t hard for Marshall to get up early. Even when he wasn’t deployed, he couldn’t sleep in. After taking a quick run, he grabbed a quick shower and then headed downstairs so he could whip up some protein shakes.
The smell of bacon hit him before he walked into the kitchen. Then he saw her, standing over a pan and stirring some eggs. Her presence affected him more than he wanted to admit. Yesterday, when he had brought her back to the inn and gotten her settled, it had been unnerving how on edge he was just being around her.
Of course, throughout the years, he’d thought about her. A lot. Even though they’d only kissed once, he’d thought about that kiss a million times. He’d replayed that scene too many times to count. It was stupid. He hated himself for even caring about her. The woman had turned him down flat. The following summer, when he’d been visiting South Port and planned to talk things out with her, he’d seen her with the Marine. He’d been so ticked that he’d gotten on his bike and driven for a long time.
As he walked into the kitchen, still battling with old feelings for this woman, he was further thrown off when he saw that she was playing house. “What the hell are you doing?”
He looked at the table. It was set for everyone to eat.
She glared at him. “A simple thank-you would suffice.”
He yanked open the fridge and grabbed the milk. “I was going to make them shakes.” He began the process of getting his protein powder out and mixing it all together in the blender. Once he’d peeled a banana, he added that as well. “So I don’t need to thank you for nothing, missy.”
“Protein shakes? These people are on vacation, Marshall. You don’t feed people on vacation protein shakes.”
He surveyed her. The woman was wearing exercise clothes that were tight. They showed off her curves, and he had to focus on the reason they were arguing. “Maybe they are health conscious.”
“You’re ridiculous.”
It was probably a good thing they were interrupted by a family and their children right then. “Yum,” said a little girl named Dora, who was probably around five. “Can we have some?”
Kat acted like she was the one hosting them. “Help yourself. We’re so happy to have you. If there’s anything you need, you just let me or Marshall know.”
And so it went the rest of the morning as the other couples came down for breakfast. It was both humbling and annoying that Kat was so good with people and serving them. She had saved him—he really would have given them all protein shakes. Now that he was thinking clearly, he could see it was a bad idea.
After everyone had eaten and talked and then taken off to their activities or to go shower, it was just him and Kat left to clean up the kitchen.
At one point, he turned to her. “I got this. You can go relax.”
She scoffed at his suggestion. “No, I’m staying here for free. I want to help out. I insist.”
Marshall could respect that. He liked a woman willing to work and pull her weight. He’d been raised that way; everyone worked, and work was good for people. His ex, Sarah, had always made a point to go half on all chores. Once, he’d asked her why she never went half on car maintenance, and she’d told him he was being a baby.
Why had he liked her again?
“Marshall?”
He jerked to face Kat. “Yeah?”
Her brows knitted together. “Are you okay? I said your name two times.”
More and more, he was getting lost in his own thoughts, and he hated it. “Sorry.”
She held up a bag of trash. “Which garbage can does it go in? There’s, like, three out there.”
He put down the wash rag, rinsing it out, and then reached for the trash. “The second bin, but I got it.”
“Great.” She let it go and glanced around. “The kitchen looks good.”
“Yeah.” He was halfway to the garage when he thought he’d better mention something. “So the new radiator won’t be here for a couple days. If you need to go somewhere, you’re welcome to borrow my rental car.” He’d already been thinking about making sure she had wheels. “Since I have the motorcycle anyway.”
“Oh.” She nodded. “Did I mention how much I appreciate you?”
“No problem.” He was pleasantly surprised to hear it.
“No, seriously,” she said, and her cheeks turned red. “You saved me yesterday. Between the car and giving me a place to stay …” She blinked hard, like she was trying to control her emotions. “I know I didn’t act like it, but I am grateful.”
It felt so good to hear her acknowledge all that he’d done. Sarah had always told him that he looked for too much praise. But he didn’t want to think of Sarah. He pointed at Kat and said, “Not to mention hiding you out. I mean, that’s the hardest part in South Port.”
She laughed. “Yeah.”
It was interesting that she seemed so emotional. He wanted to ask more questions—about this cabin she’d been going to by herself, about her life in South Port, about the Marine …
No. He couldn’t let himself get wrapped up in all of that. “So go relax.”
“Thanks.”
He waved his hand at her. “Have fun. Enjoy. Help yourself to anything in the house.”
“I might swim, if that’s okay.”
“Are you going to hot-tub?”
She hesitated. “No.”
Stupid. Why had he even asked that? He remembered sneaking her out of the house to come back and hot-tub when they were young.
Again, she blinked and swallowed. “Okay, I’m going to go.”
It felt like there was a lot she wasn’t telling him, but it was not his business. “Right.” He went to the garage and put the trash inside the garbage bin, then stopped in front of the hood of her car.
Thoughts of Kat crowded in again. What was she going to do today? Why had he asked her if she wanted to hot-tub? That was stupid.
Would she read? She used to love sitting in their library. She would read for hours. His mother and Kat used to talk about books all the time. Warmth filled him as he thought of that memory. Dang, he missed his mother.
The more he thought about Kat and the memories from those summers, the more he knew he couldn’t be here. He couldn’t just sit at the inn all day. Ava and Trey had told him he just needed to make sure he was back by eight for the popcorn and movies.
Vince would be here soon to watch the place, so Marshall could leave. He needed to get out of the house.
As he went back inside to grab his phone to text Vince, he noticed that Kat was still in the kitchen. She was standing by the French doors, staring out at the deck with the pool, the hot tub, the pool house, and the view of the beach. “Hey,” she said, turning to face him.
“Hey.” He paused, his heart racing.
“What are you doing?” she asked. Her face was innocent, exactly the way it’d been so many times when they’d been young and she’d stopped by to see him.
Time was like a pretzel, curving back on itself in this moment. “I’m not sure what I’m doing.”
“Me neither.”
All kinds of ideas burst into his imagination. He thought of the things they used to do together all summer: surfing, hiking, walking the beach to find seashells, lying up on the roof and staring at the stars for hours. He didn’t want to say any of that. “Well, there’s lots of things to do here that I think you’d find relaxing.”
Marshall was about to go up to his room when Kat said, “Do you remember how your mother and I would read for hours in the library?”
His adrenaline spiked. “I was just thinking about that when I was in the garage.”
“Your mom was the best. I mean, I’m pretty happy with my mom, too. But your mom was just … She just spent time with people when they needed it, you know?”
Marshall hadn’t thought about his mother like that, but it was true. “She did. She sat out in the garage and talked to me about as much as you did in the summers.” The memory of those times softened him. “I guess, looking back, I never felt I didn’t have time with her. Even though there were six of us, she always found time to spend with us.”
A smile played at her lips. “She was a good lady. Listen, I know you and I … well, we’re a bit explosive in nature, but I’m glad that you stopped yesterday.”
He thought of how she’d looked so angry, had accused him of shutting her out. “I’m glad, too.” Unable to stop himself, he asked, “Can I ask why this week is so important for you to get away? To go to a cabin by yourself?”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. It just felt like I was missing something when you were so upset and talking about how you really needed this week. I mean, I know everyone needs a vacation. Time away. But is there something that is making you sad?”
“No,” she said, answering quickly, and turned back to face the window.
Which meant yes. Marshall sighed. Sarah had been lots of drama. He didn’t want drama in his life. “Okay.” He left the room, calling over his shoulder, “Good luck.”
None of her problems were his business. In his room, he grabbed his shades and his wallet. It was evident that she didn’t want to talk to him about whatever it was. So … that was fine. She could chill here. Do her thing. Get rested. And he would do his thing. They could just be normal people who didn’t know each other. Yes, he could treat her the same way he would treat any acquaintance in his life.
He strode back through the kitchen and to the garage door. She was gone. Good. He didn’t need to think about her. He would take a ride. Yes, he would go where he’d been kind of planning on going yesterday, before his attention had been hijacked.
But as he opened the garage door, he was held up. There she was, sitting on his new motorcycle. “What the …”
“Sorry,” she said as she got off the bike.
Again, he had to admire how slim she was. How graceful. Not the girl he’d once known. She had definitely matured. “It’s fine. You can sit on the bike.”
She gestured to the bike. “I was just enjoying it, that’s all. I’m done.” She didn’t meet his eyes as she walked past him. “I’ll just be doing … stuff. See you later.”
“Yeah, later.” But he found himself asking, “Want to go to the lighthouse?”
She froze, then turned to face him. “Are you serious?”
The fact he’d asked her actually surprised him. “Yeah.”
“I don’t know.”
The idea of her coming with him seemed to take hold of him. “I could … I could pack a lunch. I don’t think anyone from town will be out there. But we could bring a paper bag in case.”
“A paper bag?”
He grinned at her. “Sure. We can hide you away if someone comes.”
She laughed, and he knew he had her. “No.”
He redoubled his efforts. “Come on, it’ll be fun. I haven’t been to the lighthouse in years.”
“I haven’t either.”
“Then why not?”
The side of her lip tugged up into a smile. “I don’t know.”
“You can choose to come or not.” He moved back to the bike, not wanting to push her. “I’m leaving in twenty minutes. If you’re in the garage, I’ll take you. If you want to just hang out here, that’s great.”

He yanked open the fridge and grabbed the milk. “I was going to make them shakes.” He began the process of getting his protein powder out and mixing it all together in the blender. Once he’d peeled a banana, he added that as well. “So I don’t need to thank you for nothing, missy.”
“Protein shakes? These people are on vacation, Marshall. You don’t feed people on vacation protein shakes.”
He surveyed her. The woman was wearing exercise clothes that were tight. They showed off her curves, and he had to focus on the reason they were arguing. “Maybe they are health conscious.”
“You’re ridiculous.”
It was probably a good thing they were interrupted by a family and their children right then. “Yum,” said a little girl named Dora, who was probably around five. “Can we have some?”
Kat acted like she was the one hosting them. “Help yourself. We’re so happy to have you. If there’s anything you need, you just let me or Marshall know.”
And so it went the rest of the morning as the other couples came down for breakfast. It was both humbling and annoying that Kat was so good with people and serving them. She had saved him—he really would have given them all protein shakes. Now that he was thinking clearly, he could see it was a bad idea.
After everyone had eaten and talked and then taken off to their activities or to go shower, it was just him and Kat left to clean up the kitchen.
At one point, he turned to her. “I got this. You can go relax.”
She scoffed at his suggestion. “No, I’m staying here for free. I want to help out. I insist.”
Marshall could respect that. He liked a woman willing to work and pull her weight. He’d been raised that way; everyone worked, and work was good for people. His ex, Sarah, had always made a point to go half on all chores. Once, he’d asked her why she never went half on car maintenance, and she’d told him he was being a baby.
Why had he liked her again?
“Marshall?”
He jerked to face Kat. “Yeah?”
Her brows knitted together. “Are you okay? I said your name two times.”
More and more, he was getting lost in his own thoughts, and he hated it. “Sorry.”
She held up a bag of trash. “Which garbage can does it go in? There’s, like, three out there.”
He put down the wash rag, rinsing it out, and then reached for the trash. “The second bin, but I got it.”
“Great.” She let it go and glanced around. “The kitchen looks good.”
“Yeah.” He was halfway to the garage when he thought he’d better mention something. “So the new radiator won’t be here for a couple days. If you need to go somewhere, you’re welcome to borrow my rental car.” He’d already been thinking about making sure she had wheels. “Since I have the motorcycle anyway.”
“Oh.” She nodded. “Did I mention how much I appreciate you?”
“No problem.” He was pleasantly surprised to hear it.
“No, seriously,” she said, and her cheeks turned red. “You saved me yesterday. Between the car and giving me a place to stay …” She blinked hard, like she was trying to control her emotions. “I know I didn’t act like it, but I am grateful.”
It felt so good to hear her acknowledge all that he’d done. Sarah had always told him that he looked for too much praise. But he didn’t want to think of Sarah. He pointed at Kat and said, “Not to mention hiding you out. I mean, that’s the hardest part in South Port.”
She laughed. “Yeah.”
It was interesting that she seemed so emotional. He wanted to ask more questions—about this cabin she’d been going to by herself, about her life in South Port, about the Marine …
No. He couldn’t let himself get wrapped up in all of that. “So go relax.”
“Thanks.”
He waved his hand at her. “Have fun. Enjoy. Help yourself to anything in the house.”
“I might swim, if that’s okay.”
“Are you going to hot-tub?”
She hesitated. “No.”
Stupid. Why had he even asked that? He remembered sneaking her out of the house to come back and hot-tub when they were young.
Again, she blinked and swallowed. “Okay, I’m going to go.”
It felt like there was a lot she wasn’t telling him, but it was not his business. “Right.” He went to the garage and put the trash inside the garbage bin, then stopped in front of the hood of her car.
Thoughts of Kat crowded in again. What was she going to do today? Why had he asked her if she wanted to hot-tub? That was stupid.
Would she read? She used to love sitting in their library. She would read for hours. His mother and Kat used to talk about books all the time. Warmth filled him as he thought of that memory. Dang, he missed his mother.
The more he thought about Kat and the memories from those summers, the more he knew he couldn’t be here. He couldn’t just sit at the inn all day. Ava and Trey had told him he just needed to make sure he was back by eight for the popcorn and movies.
Vince would be here soon to watch the place, so Marshall could leave. He needed to get out of the house.
As he went back inside to grab his phone to text Vince, he noticed that Kat was still in the kitchen. She was standing by the French doors, staring out at the deck with the pool, the hot tub, the pool house, and the view of the beach. “Hey,” she said, turning to face him.
“Hey.” He paused, his heart racing.
“What are you doing?” she asked. Her face was innocent, exactly the way it’d been so many times when they’d been young and she’d stopped by to see him.
Time was like a pretzel, curving back on itself in this moment. “I’m not sure what I’m doing.”
“Me neither.”
All kinds of ideas burst into his imagination. He thought of the things they used to do together all summer: surfing, hiking, walking the beach to find seashells, lying up on the roof and staring at the stars for hours. He didn’t want to say any of that. “Well, there’s lots of things to do here that I think you’d find relaxing.”
Marshall was about to go up to his room when Kat said, “Do you remember how your mother and I would read for hours in the library?”
His adrenaline spiked. “I was just thinking about that when I was in the garage.”
“Your mom was the best. I mean, I’m pretty happy with my mom, too. But your mom was just … She just spent time with people when they needed it, you know?”
Marshall hadn’t thought about his mother like that, but it was true. “She did. She sat out in the garage and talked to me about as much as you did in the summers.” The memory of those times softened him. “I guess, looking back, I never felt I didn’t have time with her. Even though there were six of us, she always found time to spend with us.”
A smile played at her lips. “She was a good lady. Listen, I know you and I … well, we’re a bit explosive in nature, but I’m glad that you stopped yesterday.”
He thought of how she’d looked so angry, had accused him of shutting her out. “I’m glad, too.” Unable to stop himself, he asked, “Can I ask why this week is so important for you to get away? To go to a cabin by yourself?”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know. It just felt like I was missing something when you were so upset and talking about how you really needed this week. I mean, I know everyone needs a vacation. Time away. But is there something that is making you sad?”
“No,” she said, answering quickly, and turned back to face the window.
Which meant yes. Marshall sighed. Sarah had been lots of drama. He didn’t want drama in his life. “Okay.” He left the room, calling over his shoulder, “Good luck.”
None of her problems were his business. In his room, he grabbed his shades and his wallet. It was evident that she didn’t want to talk to him about whatever it was. So … that was fine. She could chill here. Do her thing. Get rested. And he would do his thing. They could just be normal people who didn’t know each other. Yes, he could treat her the same way he would treat any acquaintance in his life.
He strode back through the kitchen and to the garage door. She was gone. Good. He didn’t need to think about her. He would take a ride. Yes, he would go where he’d been kind of planning on going yesterday, before his attention had been hijacked.
But as he opened the garage door, he was held up. There she was, sitting on his new motorcycle. “What the …”
“Sorry,” she said as she got off the bike.
Again, he had to admire how slim she was. How graceful. Not the girl he’d once known. She had definitely matured. “It’s fine. You can sit on the bike.”
She gestured to the bike. “I was just enjoying it, that’s all. I’m done.” She didn’t meet his eyes as she walked past him. “I’ll just be doing … stuff. See you later.”
“Yeah, later.” But he found himself asking, “Want to go to the lighthouse?”
She froze, then turned to face him. “Are you serious?”
The fact he’d asked her actually surprised him. “Yeah.”
“I don’t know.”
The idea of her coming with him seemed to take hold of him. “I could … I could pack a lunch. I don’t think anyone from town will be out there. But we could bring a paper bag in case.”
“A paper bag?”
He grinned at her. “Sure. We can hide you away if someone comes.”
She laughed, and he knew he had her. “No.”
He redoubled his efforts. “Come on, it’ll be fun. I haven’t been to the lighthouse in years.”
“I haven’t either.”
“Then why not?”
The side of her lip tugged up into a smile. “I don’t know.”
“You can choose to come or not.” He moved back to the bike, not wanting to push her. “I’m leaving in twenty minutes. If you’re in the garage, I’ll take you. If you want to just hang out here, that’s great.”

Secret Undercover Navy SEAL Billionaire: Jagger Family Romances
★★★★★From kindle all-star and USA Today author, Taylor Hart! The Jagger Family Romances! ★★★Taylor Hart always does a great job of writing clean, faith-filled romances. All the stories in this book are excellent, and I highly recommend them!★★★Kindle Customer
What do you do – when you get put with a strange man in the same room on a cruise ship?
When billionaire and former Navy SEAL, Mark Jagger, gets forced into taking a 'relaxing' cruise from his big sister, he's not happy about it. But what can he say--he hasn't been happy since his father passed three months ago. Why would the old man force them to leave the company for a year and find true love? Not gonna happen. Not for Mark. When he discovers he's been put in the SAME room as someone else, he won't stand for it.
Raya James, the beautiful and talented prosecuting attorney for the city of Los Angelos, was NOT planning on going on this cruise. Her mother booked it the year before and ... since her mother passed away, she was not going without her. But, after getting through her latest trial; one where she locked up an evil Cartel thug ... she needed the break. And since she hadn't had time to sort through the paperwork of canceling the cruise, she decided to just go. When she discovers she got put with someone else in the same room, she's furious; she's not going to be stuck in the same room with someone, especially NOT this misogynist PIG who just called her 'sweetheart.'
But after the room situation gets settled, they both discover they are both single and both on this cruise together; ending up in the same places over and over. When Raya asks Mark to go on excursions with her, he says yes ... but he never expected to discover ... she was being watched.
When Raya gets shaken after two men are discovered following her, the only arms to run into ... are the ones from the hunky Navy SEAL, who is more than a gentleman, he turns out to be good at kicking butt when the time calls for it.
Will Raya and Mark get over the secrets from their past and help each other survive the chaos that erupts around them?
EXCERPT:
Raya awoke with a start the next morning, and then she relaxed back into the soft pillow to the sway of the cruise ship. She’d slept so well. She thought of that kiss and smothered her giggle with the other pillow. “What am I doing?” she muttered, throwing back the blankets.
She slipped to her knees and said her prayers. For most of her life, she’d made a habit of praying in the morning. Her ex hadn’t been religious. At first, it hadn’t bothered her, but then he had made fun of her and her praying ways. It was better in so many ways that they weren’t together now.
With her rosary in hand, she silently went through the Latin prayers she’d been taught in Catholic school. They were comforting to her and made her feel closer to her mother, too. Her mother had been vigilant about prayer while she was growing up, and even though hard things had happened in Raya’s life, prayer was still a big deal. While she didn’t feel God all the time, she still believed He could hear and answer her prayers.
What would her mother think of Mark James?
Raya put the rosary down. She would definitely approve. He was every bit the larger-than-life type, like her mother had always described her father.
Raya was surprised that she had fallen for this guy. At first, she’d thought he was just a rude, dumb jock type. Yet from day one, he’d been able to verbally spar back and forth with her. He had given as much as she had dished out.
Remembering last night, dinner and dancing and that kiss, she did a little twirl and felt like she was some silly girl in a rom-com movie. This was ridiculous. She was only on a one-week cruise. Seven days. And they were on day three. The thought dampened her mood, because what would happen when the cruise was over?
She didn’t want to think about it, so she pushed those thoughts away and quickly showered. It was seven-thirty a.m., and she didn’t want to do herself up too much for zip lining, but she wanted to look presentable.
Before the cruise, she had done a small shopping trip. In truth, she had bought all these things because she’d needed retail therapy, a distraction from the end of her case and all the threats from Miguel Sanchez.
Now she was happy to have outfits she liked. She went through her clothes and decided on a pair of biker shorts and a Lycra hot pink T-shirt. She did her makeup and opted for a black visor and sunglasses, then slid into Kiva sandals that she could get wet in or be able to hike in. When she had read through the zip-lining portion, it had said they might swim in the river, so she wanted to be prepared. She decided not to bring a swimsuit; she just wanted to pack light. So she put a credit card in her bra, along with her ship ID. She didn’t need much else. Oh. Her passport. She got that too.
Raya was trying to decide where she would put it or if she needed to buy a little shoulder bag when there was a knock at the door. She pulled the door open, and to her immense satisfaction, Mark stood there, looking every bit the Navy SEAL he was. Although he wore gym shorts and a tight Lycra white shirt, he also had a visor and sunglasses. A strap across his chest secured a shoulder pack.
He waggled his eyebrows at her. “Lookin’ good. You ready for this?”
A nervous laugh escaped her. “Truthfully, I’m not sure. As you mentioned on the first day when I was struggling a bit with the stairs, I’m not in shape, and I don’t really do a lot of outdoor things.”
He waved a hand. “I was being a jerk.”
“True.”
“It will be easy. Plus, this is for tourists. They won’t make it hard.”
She nodded and looked around her room, wondering if she should grab anything else.
“You want me to hold on to your passport for you? I have mine in my little pouch here.”
It was like he’d read her mind, and she handed the passport to him. “I guess you are the type that’s always prepared, right?”
A wide grin crossed his face. “When you’re with me, you never gotta worry about anything.”

What do you do – when you get put with a strange man in the same room on a cruise ship?
When billionaire and former Navy SEAL, Mark Jagger, gets forced into taking a 'relaxing' cruise from his big sister, he's not happy about it. But what can he say--he hasn't been happy since his father passed three months ago. Why would the old man force them to leave the company for a year and find true love? Not gonna happen. Not for Mark. When he discovers he's been put in the SAME room as someone else, he won't stand for it.
Raya James, the beautiful and talented prosecuting attorney for the city of Los Angelos, was NOT planning on going on this cruise. Her mother booked it the year before and ... since her mother passed away, she was not going without her. But, after getting through her latest trial; one where she locked up an evil Cartel thug ... she needed the break. And since she hadn't had time to sort through the paperwork of canceling the cruise, she decided to just go. When she discovers she got put with someone else in the same room, she's furious; she's not going to be stuck in the same room with someone, especially NOT this misogynist PIG who just called her 'sweetheart.'
But after the room situation gets settled, they both discover they are both single and both on this cruise together; ending up in the same places over and over. When Raya asks Mark to go on excursions with her, he says yes ... but he never expected to discover ... she was being watched.
When Raya gets shaken after two men are discovered following her, the only arms to run into ... are the ones from the hunky Navy SEAL, who is more than a gentleman, he turns out to be good at kicking butt when the time calls for it.
Will Raya and Mark get over the secrets from their past and help each other survive the chaos that erupts around them?
EXCERPT:
Raya awoke with a start the next morning, and then she relaxed back into the soft pillow to the sway of the cruise ship. She’d slept so well. She thought of that kiss and smothered her giggle with the other pillow. “What am I doing?” she muttered, throwing back the blankets.
She slipped to her knees and said her prayers. For most of her life, she’d made a habit of praying in the morning. Her ex hadn’t been religious. At first, it hadn’t bothered her, but then he had made fun of her and her praying ways. It was better in so many ways that they weren’t together now.
With her rosary in hand, she silently went through the Latin prayers she’d been taught in Catholic school. They were comforting to her and made her feel closer to her mother, too. Her mother had been vigilant about prayer while she was growing up, and even though hard things had happened in Raya’s life, prayer was still a big deal. While she didn’t feel God all the time, she still believed He could hear and answer her prayers.
What would her mother think of Mark James?
Raya put the rosary down. She would definitely approve. He was every bit the larger-than-life type, like her mother had always described her father.
Raya was surprised that she had fallen for this guy. At first, she’d thought he was just a rude, dumb jock type. Yet from day one, he’d been able to verbally spar back and forth with her. He had given as much as she had dished out.

Secret Cowboy Undercover Billionaire: Jagger Family Romances
★★★★★From kindle all-star and USA Today author, Taylor Hart! The Jagger Family Romances!
You don’t pick up a guy on the side of the road only wearing a Cowboy Hat, Boots, and Shorts—that’s all? But … what if he passes out?
Alex Jagger only knew one thing--he couldn't 'hide out' and find 'true love' like his dad's will wanted him to. No. So he focused. He just focused on his own businesses and tried to forget this nightmare his father was putting his family through. Too bad a woman acted like he’d committed murder when he accidentally bumped her and she dropped a snow globe. Really? That’s what she was crying over?
Kathryn King didn't want to forget about her brother. She knew that every year since his death her memories faded, but the pain didn't fade. How was that fair? Her therapist verified that maybe twins were interconnected and took each other's death harder. No kidding.
She didn't want to head back to her family ranch and be trained to take it over. That had never been her job--it was supposed to be her brother's job--but he wasn't there. She couldn't do it right. She couldn't even buy a stupid trinket for him to put by his tree. Strike that. She could have bought the snow globe if the idiot hadn't broken it.
When she saw him the next day on the side of the road, she didn’t want to pick him up, but … he looked like he needed help—dang it! Turns out he does when he passes out.
Jagger Family Romances are full of fun, charm and falling in LOVE!

Ohmygosh—I LOVE the 4th of July SO much!
I remember—as a kid—going to my parent’s home town and watching the parade and watching my grandpa walk down the street—so handsome in his uniform and being SO proud that he fought for our freedom.
I remember looking at my mom and seeing tears in her eyes as the national anthem rang out.
I am SO thankful for the men and women who fight for our freedom!
I am SO grateful to live in this nation!
I am SO grateful to God for preserving our freedoms.
Please enjoy my FREE book today—The Found Warrior—about a Navy SEAL who is brave and valiant and … of course falls in love!
The Found Warrior
When you find that one person who connects you to the world, you become someone different, someone better. When that person is ripped away from you, what happens to you then?
When Blaine Hammerton, Navy SEAL, is notified that his father died of a heart attack, he finds himself in Brooklyn, shaking hands with people he’s never met and accepting a random key from one of his father’s friends. As he finds himself lost in a mental fog on the streets of Manhattan, he never expects to walk into an art gallery, and he really never expects to discover a beautiful woman…having a breakdown.
Breakdown? Elena Gates doesn’t have breakdowns! Just because she threw a bottle of water at her prize canvas doesn’t mean she was coming apart. The know-it-all man in uniform has no right to be in her gallery! Giving him a piece of her mind will be her pleasure … until she discovers his father recently passed. The sadness in his ice blue eyes leads her to do something she’s never even considered before—ask a man over for pancakes at midnight.
Seconds, minutes, hours, how long does it take to fall in love? Blaine wonders how quickly his heart could be hers as he turns the city upside down with Elena seeking the lock for his key, cooking meals for her at her apartment, and watching her paint.
When the call comes and it’s time for Blaine to get back to being a real life hero, Elena can’t believe she’s become that woman—the one who waits for emails and wonders if the man she loves is dead or alive.

The Football Groom
Enjoy this fast-paced romance by author, Taylor Hart. Cameron Cruz, quarterback for the Denver Storm, doesn’t expect to meet a beautiful woman in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while he’s grieving a major life loss. But a spunky river guide blitzes him when she doesn’t know who he is. C’mon…anyone who doesn’t know he won the championship game must be stuck under a rock. Good thing she made it clear she was unavailable by flashing a big diamond ring in his face. Katherine Foster only wanted one thing this summer—to finish her dissertation and spend some time on the river. She never anticipated getting stuck taking the cocky, arrogant Cameron Cruz on a privately guided rafting trip. Her fake engagement ring keeps him at bay until they get tossed into the river and Cam saves her life. In a moment of confusion and just-escaped-death euphoria, they share a kiss that tilts her world. She didn’t plan on telling him she’s not really engaged—but somehow THAT slipped out, and now she’s sure she’s not the only one with secrets. When her ex boyfriend shows up and asks her to marry him, Kat’s left with a choice--get what she wants…or pick Second String.
The Country Groom
Billionaire Montana Crew, country music superstar, thought he’d put the cheating best friend and ex-fiancé in the past. When the ex appears backstage bearing the news of his friend’s death and thrusting an envelope in his hands, he’s shocked and a little annoyed.
Lily Ray Gold, L.R. Gold to her associates at the law firm, doesn’t want to deliver the envelope with her best friend’s last wishes. Nothing could have convinced her to look the ‘King of Country’ in the eye again…except Jason. She’d do it and she wouldn’t lie, telling Montana she was finally done with him would feel awesome!
When Montana shows up at Lily’s law firm and extorts her into helping him figure out what Jason wants him to do, neither of them would have expected getting caught up doing their high school bucket list by surfing in Hawaii, riding in a hot air balloon, and climbing Devil’s Tower.
They both agree to finish the list for their friend, but when Montana proposes, Lily has to make a choice—tell the truth or never have almost everything she’s ever truly wanted.
The Unfinished Groom
Enjoy this sweet romance by best-selling author Taylor Hart.
Lucky—that’s how Hunter James would describe himself. Even while growing up dirt poor on a farm in Texas. Even when he’d found himself in a war zone in Afghanistan. Even before he’d struck it rich in oil and then won the forty acres of horse property in Jackson, Wyoming. He’d always known he’d be rich someday. That’s how life went when you decided to make your own luck.
Summer Kingston left Jackson ten years ago…for a reason. She came back with the hope of raising her son in a safe environment, but the deck seems stacked against her, especially when she gets fired on her first day of work and then faced with a threat against her inherited land. Summer is ready to throw in the cards when Hunter James offers to help on one condition: she go on a date with him. She’s seen the media coverage and refuses to be his latest fling but to keep the land, she's willing to call his bluff.
After taking a trip to the beach, horseback riding, and Hunter playing Mr. Fix It around her house, she’s mostly convinced she’s falling in love with him. Until she sees a picture on Twitter of him kissing an old girlfriend…and her ex boyfriend from high school keeps getting in the way…they have a choice—walk away from the table…or go all-in.
Hunter's story's is a stand alone book. But, there’s two other fun bachelor billionaires living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming who have already fallen in love…they are:
Cameron Cruz, football player for the Denver Storm. His story is The Football Groom.
Montana Crew, his story is The Country Groom.
The Masquerading Groom
A man who wants true love. A woman who is only there for a masquerade ball. Will he find the slipper and get a chance to marry a princess?
When Sterling Pennington, movie star-billionaire extraordinaire, gets stuck with a paid date at a masquerade party…he’s not happy. Too bad his agent doesn’t want the press to think he’s lonely after the pretend break up with his latest co-star. The arrangement makes him feel like a loser, until he sees the woman in the sequined dress.
Sayla Jones made it clear she would only take this date if the egocentric movie star knew he got three hours before she turned into a pumpkin. That’s all. She never imagined she might actually connect with him, or that he would kiss her. Good thing she slapped him for good measure.
Sterling never expected to see Sayla again, and he really wasn’t expecting to find her at the hospital. The next thing he knows, he’s taking her home and spending the next four days cooking, listening to Neil diamond on a record player, and putting braids in her hair. His feelings intensify when he finds himself admitting out loud, she even looks cute while drooling in her sleep. What’s happening to him?
When Sayla confesses she believes they are too different to make it work, Sterling is faced with a choice—fight for her or live alone in the world of masks forever.

The Football Groom
Enjoy this fast-paced romance by author, Taylor Hart. Cameron Cruz, quarterback for the Denver Storm, doesn’t expect to meet a beautiful woman in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, while he’s grieving a major life loss. But a spunky river guide blitzes him when she doesn’t know who he is. C’mon…anyone who doesn’t know he won the championship game must be stuck under a rock. Good thing she made it clear she was unavailable by flashing a big diamond ring in his face. Katherine Foster only wanted one thing this summer—to finish her dissertation and spend some time on the river. She never anticipated getting stuck taking the cocky, arrogant Cameron Cruz on a privately guided rafting trip. Her fake engagement ring keeps him at bay until they get tossed into the river and Cam saves her life. In a moment of confusion and just-escaped-death euphoria, they share a kiss that tilts her world. She didn’t plan on telling him she’s not really engaged—but somehow THAT slipped out, and now she’s sure she’s not the only one with secrets. When her ex boyfriend shows up and asks her to marry him, Kat’s left with a choice--get what she wants…or pick Second String.
The Country Groom
Billionaire Montana Crew, country music superstar, thought he’d put the cheating best friend and ex-fiancé in the past. When the ex appears backstage bearing the news of his friend’s death and thrusting an envelope in his hands, he’s shocked and a little annoyed.
Lily Ray Gold, L.R. Gold to her associates at the law firm, doesn’t want to deliver the envelope with her best friend’s last wishes. Nothing could have convinced her to look the ‘King of Country’ in the eye again…except Jason. She’d do it and she wouldn’t lie, telling Montana she was finally done with him would feel awesome!
When Montana shows up at Lily’s law firm and extorts her into helping him figure out what Jason wants him to do, neither of them would have expected getting caught up doing their high school bucket list by surfing in Hawaii, riding in a hot air balloon, and climbing Devil’s Tower.
They both agree to finish the list for their friend, but when Montana proposes, Lily has to make a choice—tell the truth or never have almost everything she’s ever truly wanted.
The Unfinished Groom
Enjoy this sweet romance by best-selling author Taylor Hart.
Lucky—that’s how Hunter James would describe himself. Even while growing up dirt poor on a farm in Texas. Even when he’d found himself in a war zone in Afghanistan. Even before he’d struck it rich in oil and then won the forty acres of horse property in Jackson, Wyoming. He’d always known he’d be rich someday. That’s how life went when you decided to make your own luck.
