To Be, Or Not

Barry Carlson had it all, a successful career in professional baseball and the adoration of any woman he wanted. Except one. Forced to retire in his prime, Barry returns to his hometown of Summerville, New York to coach the Minor League Hornets.

Twenty years ago, Barry broke through Amanda Marsh's trust issues. He melted her ice, won her love, then walked away without a backward glance to survey the wreckage. Now Amanda is the head of public relations for the Hornets and happily single--until Barry slides back into her life.

Still reluctant to trust, Amanda gives Barry another chance. But the announcement of their twenty-fifth high school reunion leads to an asinine bet between Barry and his old buddies, and threatens to ruin their newfound relationship. As scandals of the past and present converge, can Barry and Amanda get beyond their differences to find their second chance at love?


Honorable Intentions

Contemporary Last Rose Of Summer Rose

Page Count: 272

Former cop Samantha Wells is the last person single dad Chase Canfield wants chaperoning his young, impressionable daughter. Not if she's the same beautiful stranger who shamelessly came on to him with all the promise of unfulfilled passion, making her impossible to forget.

She must prove to Chase Canfield she's a competent, trustworthy professional. That the sultry seductress he knew was only a pretense, her misguided alter ego acting on a stupid dare. To save her reputation, she has to make him believe the mind blowing kisses and undeniable connection they shared meant nothing.

The hard part will be convincing herself.

Most people delight in the minutes they are stuck in a coffee shop’s line, right? Maybe not, but I found two people who do. Samantha Wells, a former cop, who now works for PSI (Professional Security, and Investigations), gets more than a cup of coffee when she wanders into Café and Crumbs. Honorable Intentions, written by Margo Hoornstra, is a delightful story of love and nature. It begins with

Forgotten Alliance

Sarah Novak was devastated by her husband’s affair. After more than twenty years, she thought their marriage was immune. Greg’s own actions in becoming involved with another woman devastate him as well. He is positive Sarah can never forgive him and doubts he can ever forgive himself. And worst of all, their marriage was officially over. Then, in spite of their pain, or because of it, Greg and Sarah make new discoveries about their relationship that surprise them both, and start them on the path to renewed commitment—to themselves and to each other—and their forgotten alliance together.
