Summer of Serendipity

Well here it is, the first week of June which means we are in a countdown to the first of two back to back SERENDIPITY books. 

First up? A novella entitled Perfect Strangers in the HOT SUMMER NIGHTS ANTHOLOGY out July 2 with Jaci Burton, Erin McCarthy, and Jessica Clare.  I’m so excited to bring you Dr. Alexa Collins’ story.  You met Alexa in Perfect Fit and even if you didn’t read it yet, this short story stands alone.  As a bonus, Alexa’s stranger is a football hero …. what could be more yummy than that?

  Passions ignite in these all-new stories from four bestselling masters of contemporary romance… Carly Phillips takes you back to the town of Serendipity, where overworked Alexa has an instant connection with a sinfully sexy football star on the dance floor. A one-night stand evolves into multiple nights when Luke decides to teach the good doctor about his own brand of fun. But when it’s time for him to leave town, will these “Perfect Strangers” be able to say goodbye for good?

Next up? In PERFECT FLING, out July 30, the middle Marsden sibling gets a happy ending … but it’s not an easy road for Erin and bad boy Cole Sanders.  

Assistant District Attorney, Erin Marsden,is Serendipity’s quintessential good girl.  The only daughter of the ex-police chief, she has never made a misstep, content with her quiet, predictable life … or so she thinks.  Until Cole Sanders returns to town with heated interest in his eyes and shadows in his past.

After seven years of deep under cover work in New York City, Cole returns to Serendipity to help his aging father and to find his moral compass once more. Not to get involved with wholesome Erin Marsden.  Even as a rebellious teen, he knew a girl like Erin was off limits and that hasn’t changed.  But neither one of them can resist their off-the-charts chemistry and a one night stand brings complications neither Erin nor Cole expected.

Then Erin’s current case plunges her into a killer’s crosshairs. With more at stake than anyone knows, Erin succumbs to Cole’s take-charge attitude. As a bodyguard, he’s the best. As a lover, he’s even better.  But there’s more than the matter of Erin’s safety at stake.  And Cole must forgive the sins of his past and prove to himself – and to Erin – that he’s capable of the love and the forever she – and their baby – desperately need.

WHAT COMES AFTER SERENDIPITY’S FINEST?

I hope you’re looking forward to the next two books in the series.  I’m hard at work on PERFECT TOGETHER, Sam’s story, and when that’s finished,  I plan to write at least one more Serendipity book – TESS’ STORY – along with what I hope to be two more books in a spinoff that takes Tess away from Serendipity, where she has spent much of her life putting her bad girl teenage years behind her, and becoming the woman her brothers could be proud of – and just when she’s gotten her adult life on track, she meets a bad boy hero – the type of guy she’s always been attracted to but who she fears will make her revert to old ways  – and cost her the family she fought so hard to hold on to.  And after Tess? Well, any bad boy worth his name will have friends in need of taming …
