When a long-anticipated holiday takes an unexpected turn…

Aussie farm girl Matilda Moore kicks off her dream trip to London by flat-sitting for her childhood friend. But London is daunting, crowded, and noisy, and that’s before Tilly finds a baby on the doorstep. There’s a note attached: “Henry, if you’re reading this, please know the worst has happened.”

Probability expert Henry Church has finally returned home to Wirralong, Australia, to see his grandparents when he gets a phone call from Tilly that breaks every statistical analysis. The probability of him being the father is marginal. Plus, he knows nothing about caring for a baby. Emotions and socializing are even bigger mysteries. He begs Tilly for help—can she cut her holiday short and bring the baby to Wirralong?

Tilly will do almost anything for her childhood best friend, but falling in love with him and his motherless baby is an emphatic no. Out of the question. Or is it?

“Dibs,” he murmured before he could get his brain to come up with something less stupid and a lot more charming.

Joke is happy for his sister who finally settled in with Paddy. He’s happy for Gibson who found Lee and built a great relationship with her. He’s happy his bar is doing well. Happy the town is thriving. He’s so damned happy he’s choking on it. He’s also lonely.

Sissy is only looking for a safe place where she can live her life in peace and quiet, hidden from someone who has haunted her life since she was eighteen. Having a man in that life is not needed, or even particularly wanted. Not even big, brawny Joke Tucker, the barman who also happens to be her boss.

Things are about to change for both of them, and as a consequence, for a few others too.

These adorable service puppies
are matchmakers in the making…

Dawn Vasquez never takes life too seriously. But when she rescues a golden retriever named Gigi, Dawn begins to imagine what it’d be like to settle down and let someone rely on her for a change. Unfortunately, Adam Dearborn–a handsome, hopelessly buttoned-up cattle rancher in need of a guide dog–has also fallen in love with the little ball of fluff and stubbornly insists that no other animal will do.

Adam isn’t sure what drives him to fight to keep Gigi for himself, but he suspects it has something to do with his growing–and unfortunate–attachment to Dawn. Her whirlwind spirit and sunny disposition might make her a delight to be around, but they also make her unsuited for the difficult life of a rancher. He should be able to put her out of his head. But what’s a love-struck cowboy to do when what he wants and what he needs have never seemed so far apart? And can he allow himself to take a chance on everything Dawn has to offer: puppy kisses, puppy love…and her.

Dancing with a Prince by Kit Morgan

Posted August 3, 2020 by Marsha in Connection to another series, Series, Time Slip Romance / 0 Comments

A prince from a far-away past.

A wannabe cop from the future.

And one really big problem …

All Mitzi Fine ever dreamed of was following in her father’s footsteps and becoming a cop. She worked as a security guard in a small casino downtown, took judo and jujitsu classes, and met the minimum requirements to start the process of getting into the police academy. But friends and family weren’t keen on her decision. For one, she was tiny. At 4’11” and 110 pounds they told her she was hardly a threat and perhaps they were right. For when she chased a suspicious character down a back alley one night, she got way more than she bargained for! A lot more.

Prince Asger Berg was betrothed to a princess from a neighboring kingdom. His parents assured him the arrangement would bring prosperity to Dalrovia and enrich his life. He doubted that. Princess Velta was incredibly beautiful, yes, but a shrew. But when a woman falls into his lap out of the blue one day (quite literally) he sees a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, she’s as strange as Velta is beautiful. Yet for some reason, he’s drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Problem is, if he ignores his duty and doesn’t marry the princess, the result could be war.

The last thing he wants is to take the boss’s pampered daughter on a cattle drive. The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a cowboy. Oops!

Instead, she packs her wagon with silk dresses and joins the cattle drive up the Chisholm Trail from Windward, Texas, to the railhead in Kansas. Contrary to what she thought would be a grand adventure, the trail is fraught with dangers, threatening her life.

Robert Conley only learned about the change of plans for the cattle drive two days before they were to leave.
