A Little Taste of Home by Jacinta Peachey

Posted September 16, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

He’s an award-winning chef with a bank account that just hit zero. She’s an overworked single mom with a crumbling hotel and a toddler in tow. In a kitchen this small, tempers won’t stay on simmer.

Cameron McCracken was the darling of the Sydney food scene until burnout—and a highway robbery—left him stranded in nothing but a wetsuit. Now, he’s stuck in Dolphin Cove in the middle of nowhere, trading gourmet plating for Sunday roasts at a run-down hotel. He’s used to calling the shots, not taking orders from a manager who thinks his “deconstructed parmigiana” is a crime against pub food.

Emmie Hewett is at her breaking point. Between her father’s surgery, a failing legacy, and the demands of raising her daughter, she has no patience for an ego-driven chef—no matter how brilliant he is with a whisk or a toddler.

As the hotel finds its feet, the heat in the kitchen turns personal. But when the city offers Cameron a way back to the top, Emmie faces her ultimate test: can a man who lives for the spotlight ever truly settle for a taste of home?

He’s spent years polishing his bad boy reputation…

Thaddeus (T.R.) McClintock is the black sheep of his large ranching family, and he can swing a hammer and play guitar like he’s caressing a lover. He’s the epitome of a playboy, yet when he pulls Charlize Bradford up on stage one night to sing, the gorgeous, brainy wallflower rocks his world. T.R.’s life in the fast lane screams to a halt. But the single mom is wary for good reason, and for the first time, T. R. is determined to make a good impression.

The last thing dethroned pageant queen, Charlie, needs is a cowboy mechanic who’s the infamous frontman in a band. His megawatt grin coupled with his kindness and admiration tempts the paleontology professor, who studies extinct daisies, to contemplate a fling. Then T.R. shows hidden depths and bonds with her daughter, and Charlie knows she’s in trouble.

T.R. never imagined falling in love, and Charlie vowed to never again give a man a chance. But she has a secret, and stepping into the spotlight could be dangerous.

She’s building a future on his land.  He has to take it away.

When former rodeo rider Jordan Matthews inherits a ranch from the father he never knew, he plans to sell it fast—until he learns the deal comes with one condition: the property must be empty. Lil McAllen refuses to leave. After losing her father and her home, Lil has rebuilt everything on that land—for herself and her younger sister. Walking away isn’t an option.

If Jordan can’t force her out, the deal collapses—and with it, his only chance to leave the past behind for good. Then the ranch becomes a target. Fences are cut. Equipment is sabotaged. Livestock disappears. With danger closing in, Jordan has no choice but to stay and protect what isn’t his—working side by side with the woman who stands in his way.

Capitán Dante and the Runaway Princess by Carol Marinelli

Posted August 25, 2026 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Series, Sexual Content / 0 Comments

Princess Seraphine of Aurélia is Missing!

After slipping past her royal guards in Venice, the sheltered but rebellious princess finally has what she’s always wanted: freedom.  Just for one night.

Facing a loveless political marriage, Seraphine longs to experience life and passion before her future is decided for her.  She’s terrified she’ll die a virgin.  But freedom proves far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

When she stows away aboard a luxury sailing yacht, she’s discovered by its owner: Capitán Dante.  A former French Foreign Legion soldier turned yacht captain, Dante is as ruthless as he is devastatingly handsome. He has no interest in rescuing runaway princesses. Yet when armed guards descend on the marina searching for Seraphine, he finds himself doing exactly that.

One stolen kiss to fool her pursuers changes everything. What started as a kiss to deceive awakens desires neither can ignore.  Reluctantly, Dante agrees to take Seraphine to France to reunite with her mother. They make port in Corsica along the way. It’s where Dante was based while serving in the French Foreign Legion and where Seraphine begins to uncover what drove him to turn his back on the world.

Dante doesn’t do romance. He doesn’t do tenderness. And when Seraphine tests the limits of his patience, she discovers he doesn’t tolerate disobedience on his tightly run ship and has no qualms about reining her in.  Yet the spirited princess brings out long-buried feelings in Dante and breaches the citadel he’s built around his heart.

Seraphine sees the man beneath the scars and defenses. After her first tastes of passion, walking away is no longer so easy.  Their attraction burns hotter with every nautical mile. It’s no longer freedom Seraphine craves. It’s her Capitán.

But as France draws closer, duty and desire collide. Seraphine must choose: the royal life she was born to or the forbidden man she never expected to love.

When her fiancé becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation, private investigator Samantha Price has one job—prove he’s innocent before the evidence says otherwise.

Samantha barely has time to admire the engagement ring Nate Bennet slips on her finger when a homicide detective is at the door. A problematic client from Honor’s Edge is dead, and Nate is the prime suspect. It’s history repeating itself for Sam, and she can’t help but feel like she and the Bennetts are cursed the second they try to grab a moment of good.
