We spent last week on Cape Cod, at a special family camp (more on that in a future post), and we had so much fun. We’re all immunocompromised on some level (our 14 year old the most), so we were pleased to have our own tiny cabin with a bathroom and shower, to have PERFECT weather so we could eat and socialize outdoors, and we stayed safe.
Camping is where my heart recharges its batteries, whether we stay in a cabin, a tent, or a camper. Stepping outside into the woods, greeting other people as they have fun, going kayaking and canoeing, swimming in the ocean (bay side!), playing outdoor games like archery or doing crafts (we tie-dyed!) — it all fills my cup.
How’d I do with the tie-dye?
Now we’re back, and dealing with regular life. So much laundry:
When I say I brought you a little something, it’s this: 2 eBooks and an audiobook. Every month, you get these for nothing from me (well, from my author friends…) and because I was gone in June, I didn’t send out this email until now. So here are your belated free3bies!
eBooks:
Get Bad Boys Don’t Lie by BB Easton for nothing:
And Sinner, by Sierra Simone, right here:
A Fr3e Audiobook
Listen to Must Love Dogs… and Hockey, by Kelly Jamieson, right now:
And a New Audiobook Coming
Never Fall for the Bride’s Father is coming July 30 in audiobook format! Once again, the fabulous team of Lucas Dixon and Sophie Daniels are narrating, and this time, they’re Patrick and Katie. <3
If you own the eBook on Amazon (currently just 3.99), you can get the audiobook for 7.47 with Whispersync (currency equivalent in other countries). So grab the eBook and the audiobook for a great experience all around, or reserve your copy on Audible for 1 credit:
While You Wait
Never Date the Minister is my next new release, coming September 10. If you enjoyed Caleb and Kari from Book 1, and Patrick and Katie from Book 2, you’re going to LOVE Matt and Nessa in book 3.
We’ll have simultaneous print, eBook, and audiobook releases on 9/10/24, so pre-order now and make sure you don’t miss a thing:
Accidental poisonings. Unexpected tidal waves. Jealous stepsisters. Brides caught cheating in the coatroom at the reception.
Just a typical day at work, when you’re a wedding protector.
And Nessa Martini, the newest and youngest member on staff, is doing her best to fix it all.
Starting with her own chaotic life.
A one-night stand with a hot bodybuilding social media influencer who turns out to be a minister is not Nessa’s idea of personal growth, no matter how much she enjoyed it.
She’s trying so hard to be mature, grounded, responsible, and to get ahead in her career working for Wedding Protectors, Inc., where they guarantee your perfect day – whatever it takes.
But when she ghosts on Mr. Perfect after one night of pleasure and he turns out not only to be the TikTok sensation known as “God’s Gift,” but is also the minister at the wedding she’s assigned to for work, all of Nessa’s careful plans go out the window.
She can’t date a man of the cloth.
Or can she?
Matt Draper knows he’s a study in contrasts. A bodybuilder who makes sweaty, shirtless weightlifting videos for millions of followers – and a minister? He didn’t pick the nickname “God’s Gift,” but he’s stuck with it now.
And he’s stuck on gorgeous Instagram influencer Nessa, too.
It may have been only one night, but it was a phenomenal night, and Matt wants more. Way more. When coincidence works in his favor and they meet at a wedding rehearsal, he takes his chance. She’s slow to warm, and so mysterious, yet social media perfect.
Too perfect.
For a guy who is all about depth and connection, can he break through her surface and find more?
One Night Hand Stand Coming Next
Shane East and Samantha Brentmoor just finished recording One Night Hand Stand, and we’re finalizing cover art right now. This is the book you got the first five (rough, unedited) chapters to read in this newsletter, starting here.
Stay tuned!
Tyedye looks good! I have been dying sock yarn lately and it is work. I need to refresh the Hand Stand story, know I read it, but so many books - so little time. lol.
Glad you had a great holiday, sounds idyllic.
Can't wait for Nessa's story, it sounds amazing x
