Can this single mom have it all

Without losing her heart?

Just when Tam Rochester’s dreams of expanding her herb shop and being able to support her daughter are finally coming true, Patrick Butler arrives in town. She wasn’t counting on the single dad’s plans for a bakery right across the street or the competition it’ll bring. Tam’s not afraid to fight for her future, but going toe-to-toe with Patrick would be easier if she didn’t adore his kids—and if she could just ignore her growing feelings for the too-talented baker…

Excerpt

I need the bakery to succeed for my children. They need a safe, permanent home.”

Tam’s gaze flickered with something like concern. “I get it. And I wish you luck,” she said with a heavy exhale.

“Thanks. I think.”

She pointed toward The Gracious Earth and the empty real estate beside it. “Do you see that space there? I’ve wanted to sell my own teas for years, and Petals and Pie is the perfect way. It’s going to be a meeting place— the heart of the town, I hope. It’d make my daughter and me more comfortable, that’s for sure, and now’s the time since the photography studio there closed.”

“Times are tough for everybody.” Patrick’s chest tangled with emotions. A tea and pie room across from a bakery. Surely most people would want to sit down with a cup of tea and relax while they ate rather than dash in and out of an old bakery. He would have to do more than repaint. He’d need it to be irresistible. Patrick realized Tam could see the calculations in his eyes and cleared his throat. “I better head over to the school and get Scarlet,” he mumbled.

“I’m right behind you,” she echoed in a companionable tone as she climbed into her car.

Yes, yes you are.

Spotlight on Christmas/Romance Fiction — A Guardian Till Christmas

31 Oct

Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Guardian Till Christmas by Danielle Thorne, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About The Book

A Guardian Till Christmas

Title: A Guardian Till Christmas
Author: Danielle Thorne
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: October 22, 2024
Genre: Inspirational Romance

She’s always in charge…

Until two little hearts take over this holiday season…

After the loss of her sister, Kylee Spokes plans to take custody of her orphaned niece and nephew and return to the big city by Christmas. Except corralling four-year-old twins is much harder than the businesswoman expects. And small-town paramedic Evan Hollister refuses to abandon his godchildren to someone who has no experience with kids—and can’t even boil water! Now these opposites must find a way to temporarily co-parent together. As grudging respect turns into something more, can they find a permanent solution…that lasts past the holidays?

Excerpt

Kylee crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m sorry my parenting skills aren’t on par with your expectations. I told you my only experience was with interns. Maybe if there were penalties for their behavior, they would follow orders.”

“What are you going to do? Fine them?” Evan quipped. He held firmly to Annabelle’s hand as she began to tug. “Demote them?”

“Funny,” snapped Kylee. “If Mia had—”

“You have no idea how Mia raised her children,” he said in a low tone. “You weren’t around, were you?”

“Well, I’m here now.” Kylee’s retort sounded confident and challenging, as lightning flashed in her eyes.

“I’m here to help, Kylee.”

“Why don’t you take them both home for lunch then, and I’ll be right behind you?”

“Fine,” said Evan. “I’m sure they would rather read anyway.”

“Enjoy your time with them. I’m going to get a cupcake.”

His time with them. If her plans to leave by Christmas were set, his time with them was running short.

Spotlight On Contemporary Romance — The Doctor’s Christmas Dilemma

8 Nov

The Doctor's Christmas Dilemma Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Doctor’s Christmas Dilemma by Danielle Thorne, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About The Book

The Doctor's Christmas Dilemma

Title: The Doctor’s Christmas Dilemma
Author: Danielle Thorne
Publisher: Love Inspired
Release Date: October 24th, 2023
Genre: Inspirational Romance

Home for the holidays…

Or home for good?

Once upon a time, Ben Cooper left his hometown to follow his dreams of becoming a big-city doctor. Now he’s back to run his father’s clinic and spend Christmas with his daughter, not to fall for McKenzie Price, the woman who broke his heart. But when McKenzie steps in to help Ben reconnect with his little girl, and old sparks begin to ignite, will Ben give up city life for a second chance at love?

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Excerpt

Rustic copper locks the same shade as the mums outside the door stopped McKenzie’s usual greeting from reaching her lips. The blood drained from her cheeks as a man with an expensive watch stared at on her name tag. If she imagined him thinner, added gold-rimmed glasses and a generous smattering of freckles, she’d be seventeen again. And so would he.

“Ben Cooper.” She found her words as she wrestled with a confused feeling of pleasant surprise. “I go by McKenzie instead of Mac these days.”

“Well, other than that, you haven’t changed.” Ben smiled, but  McKenzie’s response caught in her chest. She knew they’d meet again one day. And with his father ill, she’d recently suspected it would probably be sooner rather than later. “You still wear your hair in a ponytail,” Ben said, as if he didn’t know what else to say.

It’d been twelve years, but McKenzie knew what he was thinking despite the friendly charade. This was the same place she’d worked during high school, and the only thing new about her was she’d changed her nickname back to her full name. But the truth was, she was the same. No family. No career. Not even the little bookstore she’d always said she would own someday.
