In June, a wedding-themed anthology I’m in released and it’s been a whirlwind of promo and fun with readers. The anthology, Save the Date, includes 16 sweet-to-steamy stories where the hero and heroine meet at a wedding… with all of the disasters that often occur during wedding events. And I’m excited to announce that my novella in this collection is August’s book selection for the Isn’t it Romantic Book Club on Facebook. We’re all reading the book this month and will discuss it on August 28th during a YouTube Live.
My novella, from my Kingsmill Courtships series, is called A Room with a Groom. It’s the final story in the saga of Ben Mosby and Sophie Sinclair, the hero and heroine of The Brightest Christmas Star and His Wildest Sunflower. In A Room with a Groom, Ben and Sophie are on the way to their long-awaited wedding–until everything falls apart. There’s small town summer steaminess, a race against time, forced proximity, and an outlaw MC causing trouble hours before the wedding. (Yes, as usual, I threw in all the tropes!).
This love story about Ben Mosby and Sophie Sinclair is about two lost people who are each running away until they discover that they are right where they need to be. I know I say this after every story I write in this series, but this is one of my favorites, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it!
A Room with a Groom
Will these star-crossed lovers make it to the church on time?
Ben Mosby, a former member of an outlaw motorcycle club, has reformed his life. As the sheriff of Kingsmill, VA, he’s determined to keep his small mountain town safe, and he’s given his heart to Sophie Sinclair, the only woman he’s ever loved. But on the eve of their long-awaited wedding, a rival outlaw MC from Ben’s old life roars back, carrying a violent grudge.
Sophie has overcome poverty, homelessness, and an outlaw biker ex-boyfriend. And now that she’s been reunited with Ben, the love of her life, she won’t allow any of that sadness to define her future. She’s even found the perfect wedding dress in a town hours away from Kingsmill. But as they return for their rehearsal dinner, their future is put to the ultimate test.
With forest fires raging and outlaw bikers chasing them, their journey to the altar becomes a desperate fight for survival. Old demons resurface and alliances are tested. And when they seek refuge in an isolated cabin, surrounded by danger, Sophie must decide if their love is strong enough to douse the flames of their past. If not, she may lose Ben forever.
