The invitation to visit his best friend at his new Texas digs is just what former rodeo champion turned Hollywood stuntman Tucker Culhane needs.

US Marshal Cassie Parker excels under cover. When her boss sends her to Red Cliffs, Texas, to keep tabs on the criminal mastermind she’s been hunting for three years, she jumps at the chance. But convincing the irritatingly handsome rancher, Cole Connors, to play along might be her hardest mission yet.

As Cassie and Cole pretend to be engaged, it’s challenging to remember what’s real and what’s fake. For Cassie, the time spent with Cole and his daughter awakens a yearning for more than a career diving from one undercover job to the next, never having roots or a home.

When the threat is over and Cassie’s assignment ends, can their make-believe engagement become something real?

What happens in Italy stays in Italy. But what’s supposed to happen if you start falling in love?

Lawyer Olivia Wright is in Amalfi for one reason: to present at a prestigious medico-legal conference and prove that she’s at the top of her field. After her boyfriend cheated with his secretary, Liv swore off men for good.
No more mistakes. No more heartache.

Until Dr Lawson Fisher walks in. He’s her ex’s friend and the definition of a silver fox. This tempting plastic surgeon should be off-limits. But one smoldering glance across a candlelit restaurant, and Liv’s good intentions dissolve into the sultry Italian night.

Lawson offers what Liv knows she shouldn’t want: a reckless, wickedly hot weekend with no strings. She should say no. But how can she resist the man who makes her feel desired for the first time in years?

Lawson’s own scars run deep, with heartbreak and betrayal he’s never shared. For three unforgettable nights, he’ll worship Liv’s body and tease her mind. Hinting that what begins as pure pleasure could prove to be something far more.

When Monday comes, will they walk away with only memories of one passionate weekend… or take a chance at the forever neither of them believes in?

A is for Amish by Shelley Shepard Gray

Posted October 10, 2025 by Marsha in Amish Romance, Closed Doors/ Fade to Black, Kensington Books, Kindle Unlimited, Series, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

Siblings Martin, Kelsey, Beth, and Jonny are as different as can be, but they have one thing in common. They’re all longing to reinvent their lives. Raised by their divorced, lapsed Amish father and English mother, they only knew real stability and a sense of family when visiting their Old Order grandparents, Josiah and Sylvia Schrock, in peaceful small-town Millersburg, Ohio. Now the four want to try living with them and joining their faith—much to the Schrocks’ surprise . . .

Martin, the eldest, is reeling from a bad breakup, so he’s especially determined to make a fresh start. When he meets his grandparents’ neighbor, Patti Coblentz, he’s immediately drawn to her outgoing, helpful nature—but is so overwhelmed that he appears blunt and rude. Is there any way he can drop his defenses enough to admit she’s captured his heart?

Always self-conscious about the birthmark on her temple, Patti is resigned to never marrying and busying herself with the responsibilities of the large home and property she has inherited. Besides, Martin’s ill-mannered behavior and disconcerting directness make him the last man she’d ever want to wed—no matter how handsome he is.

Yet given time and patience—and adhering to their grandparents’ unexpectedly challenging rules—the whole family might just find what they’re looking for, even Martin and Patti.

Titles in the Amish ABCs series include:  A is for Amish ~ B is for Bonnet ~ C is for Courting ~ D is for Daisy ~
