Happy Friday! I have a secret to share — shh! don’t tell anyone. 😉 Becky Wade, the Christie Award Hall of Fame honoree and all time great contemporary romance writer, will be the guest speaker at my little town’s book festival! Woo hoo!!! In honor of the big news, today I am featuring one of her novels, Rocky Road, the second book in the Sons of Scandal series. The book festival is scheduled for February 21, 2026 in Perry, Georgia. You can find more about it on the festival’s Facebook page, Perry Page Turners. Hope to see you there!
And now, here’s the first line:
Though they’d never met, Jude Camden was an expert on Gemma Clare.
FBI Agent Jude Camden handles every aspect of his job with by-the-book professionalism. There’s no reason why his latest assignment—which calls for him to pose as the boyfriend of perfumer Gemma Clare—should be any different.
Except Gemma is different. She’s creative, bold, and feisty. And as soon as she meets Jude, she wants to loosen him up, wrinkle his perfect shirts, and test every ounce of his towering self-control.
The FBI has an iron-clad rule against romances between those working together on operations. Jude’s never met a rule he didn’t respect. But adhering to this one is going to be tough because, as time goes by, he finds Gemma more and more irresistible.
Buckle up! It’s going to be a rocky road.
Escape to Maine for this swoon-worthy “fake romance”! Banter, humor, perfume, and a mystery from the past intertwine in this sweet Sons of Scandal love story.
