I know it’s only the beginning of December, but writers live on a calendar that would stress most people. Writers write and promote off season in order to give you the best books for every season. So, even though I’m decorating the house for Christmas, I’m writing and promoting my summer beach reads. And the first one I want to tell you about is That One Summer, a steamy contemporary romance collection of the best summer beach novellas by some of my favorite friends/authors.
My story in this anthology, The Summer Promise, is the romance of Lily Dunmore and Gage Mosby–how they fall in love (again!) and come up with a plan to save their town of Kingsmill, Virginia. Because it’s a series, it’s also the origin story of why Gage Mosby–a retired Army Ranger–decides to secretly marry off all of his restless nieces and nephews. If you preorder now, you can get the entire collection for .99. Because the price will go up after this book releases on June 11, 2024.

The Summer Promise
Sometimes the happiest endings begin with a broken promise.
When Army Ranger Gage Mosby returns to Kingsmill, Virginia, deep in the Shenandoah Mountains, he’s in for a reckoning. His family’s business–the Devil’s Renegade Biker Bar–is facing bankruptcy, his older brothers have lost control of their Motorcycle Club to a local thug, and his grown nephews are living irresponsible lives of debauchery. But the person he’s most worried about is Lily Dunmore. The beautiful woman he’d promised to love forever before he betrayed her in the most brutal way.
Lily Dunmore, a celebrated pastry chef in Paris, has found a place in the world that’s safe and secure. A place far away from small-town gossip and sad memories. After being left at the altar by one man, and publicly betrayed by another, she became the girl everyone felt sorry for–until she moved to Paris. But when Lily returns home unexpectedly, she discovers that running from her past has left her vulnerable to deeply buried feelings and long-forgotten dreams. Dreams about Gage Mosby, the man she’s never forgotten. The man she still loves.
Once the long-separated lovers meet again, they’ll have to decide if risking their hearts and forgiving each other is worth a lifetime of happiness.
