Windy City Westons #1
By Jerusha Agen
About the Book:
Spring Weston will do anything to rise in the ranks of pro cycling and prove she isn’t the one failure of the five Weston siblings. Anything except cheat. When she learns of doping on her cycling team, she’s determined to uncover the truth. But she can’t if she’s dead.
Sergeant Torin Cotter may not be the hero the public thinks he is, but he recognizes fear when he sees it. When he takes over the investigation of the collision that landed Spring in the hospital, he’s compelled to protect her from whatever danger she’s in, even though he knows he might fail. Again.
Spring’s faith in God isn’t enough to help her face the living nightmare she awakened to after the accident. But neither she nor the handsome sergeant see the greater threat that’s coming until it’s too late.
If they’re going to survive, Spring and Torin will not only have to confront their worst fears—they’ll have to find a reason to live.

Arabella's Song ~ Coming Soon
Arista Lost Kerchiefs Challenge (2023)
hosted by Kendra E. Ardnek.
The theme behind the challenge was retelling the Goose Girl. Creating a totally new story while keeping key elements intact was indeed a challenge. What did or didn't I like about the original? As with all fairy tales, there is a story underneath; capturing that essence was the end goal.
But what was that essence?
I'll let you discover that for yourself.
I further challenged myself by adding an additional layer by bringing in the Pied Piper of Hamlin.
I hope you will enjoy Arabella's Song,
the first book in the series The House of Sorah.
The ebook is currently available for pre-order. But if you prefer to wait, there will also be a paperback edition.

Arabella's Song ~ Coming Soon
I'm thrilled to share the cover for my upcoming book
Arabella's Song.
This is a Goose Girl and Pied Piper retelling.
I know two stories one wouldn't expect to work together.
But they do with the Goose Girl taking the pivotal role throughout.
But before I share the cover here is a bit about the book:
Arabella's future has long been decided, but she'll have
to fight for it
when her trusted servant betrays her.
All her life, a song has drawn her towards her destiny,
and now it
may very well be what saves her life.
With the aid of a talking horse, a mysterious stranger,
and a foreign dignitary,
Arabella is in a race against time to reclaim the
identity stolen from her in
this story based on the
Goose Girl and the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
This is the first book in The House of Sorah series.

Murder in Highbury ~ Mini Review
An Emma Knightley Mystery #1
By Vanessa Kelly
Emma Woodhouse now Emma Knightley, has given up matchmaking. She is perfectly content being married and doing all the tasks expected of her as the wife of the master of Donwell Abbey.
But Emma's life and indeed the lives of all who call Highbury home are disrupted when Augusta Elton is discovered murdered in the church. Such shocking news is not to be born! But with a murderer on the loose certain precautions must be taken.
When the investigation doesn't answer Emma's concerns she is determined to see that justice is found for Mrs. Elton. And Emma isn't about to let concerns be brushed off like an annoying fly. There is only one thing to be done--she must undertake the investigation herself.
With the same tenacity she used for matchmaking, Emma resolves to solve the travesty that has destroyed the peace that Highbury has long enjoyed. Emma's less than stellar matchmaking and idle gossip aside. And Mr. Woodhouse's complaints. And Miss Bates's excitable, talkative nature. So maybe peaceful isn't quite the right word but it was normal for Highbury and their greatest concern was chicken thieves not murderers.
My full review will be shared closer to the book's November release date so check back later for more on Emma's investigation.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Can her best friend and a handsome, yet ornery and sarcastic foreigner help her live long enough to see her people finally free from bloodshed and hardship? Or will her enemies finally succeed and end the Clanna line?

Cover Reveal The Beauty and the Griffin By J. M. Stengl
Three romantic dreams. Two precocious griflets. One hasty curse that may doom not only Faraway Castle but the world.
Beatrice de Callen, an otherwise sensible young woman, was foolish enough to fall in love with the benevolent yet shadowy mage known as the Gamekeeper of Faraway Castle. Worse still, she broke his heart.

Exhausted, Beatrice falls asleep while snuggling the gold egg and dreams of dancing with an utterly stunning young king at his coronation ball. Have they met before? Once the eggs guide their humans to the timeless palace, Beatrice is relieved to sense the Gamekeeper’s presence—but Win insists he is the monster that killed the last King of Adelboden! Beatrice must not only help raise the lively griflets and watch over a girl who hates her, but also save Faraway Castle and the world by breaking a century-old curse. Only the Golden Griffin can tell her how. Now, the Cover! |

Texas Ranch Cold Case ~ Review
Texas Ranch Cold Case
Cowboy Protectors #4
By Virginia Vaughan
The mystery of her mother's disappearance has defined Ally Fulton's life. The need to know the truth is driving her to discover it. Rumors say she ran off, abandoning Ally. If only Ally could remember what happened—she knows her mother is dead and somewhere on the Harmon family ranch. She blames the Harmon family for protecting their secrets and hiding the truth about what happened that day twenty years ago.
Tucker Harmon never wanted to return to the family ranch. Not after his grandfather refused to help him and his mother, leaving him to the abusive hand of a step-father. Unfortunately, he's also avoided his cousins. But now he has no choice but to face the past.
As Tucker aids Ally in her quest for the truth, they discover that someone doesn't want the truth to come out. Worse, this elusive someone will silence her, and they don't care who else they must eliminate to keep the past firmly in the past.
But the deeper Tucker digs the more questions that are raised. Someone is lying, and until they know why, they will have to keep looking over their shoulders. Could the suspected murderer be someone they know? Or was it someone drifting through the area? Because if Ally is to be believed, her mother never left the Harmon ranch.
This is the final book in the Cowboy Protectors series, which features the four Harmon cousins—cousins who all lost their fathers and were abandoned by their grandfather, Chet Harmon. This book touches on Chet's death and the secrets he took to the grave. This book offers plenty of suspense as the truth dangles in front of them just out of reach.
If you love Romantic Suspense that isn't over-the-top in graphic anything (romance or violence), you'll want to read Virginia Vaughan's Texas Ranch Cold Case. This book is the perfect length for a HOT Summer weekend.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
