Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen. 

Excerpt: Chapter One
Last week

“Why are you out in weather like this?” He stood aside and gestured for them to hurry out of the cold. “Come in and get warm. You look frozen.”

“We are frozen,” Loretta wailed as she and Holly entered the warm kitchen. “Our car slid off the road into a ditch, and it’s sleeting and snowing something awful.” She paused to shake off her plaid scarf, scattering sleet and snow on the scuffed wooden floor. “I don’t know how we’re ever going to get home tonight.”

“Loretta, please,” Holly begged. “You’re out of the cold now, and as far as getting home goes, use my  phone to call a tow truck.”

This Week: We begin where we left off last week. Holly is speaking first.

Saturday Sample: Turnaround Farm


Welcome to Saturday Sample. Today I'm sharing an excerpt from my new release Turnaround Farm. Turnaround Farm is a Kindle Unlimited title available at https://wingsepress.com/turnaround-farm/

If up and coming realtor Holly Grant can buy Turnaround Farm for her client, her business will boom. Who says you have to have a man in your life to complete you? She’s fine as she is thank you very much. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen. 

Last Week.
Yes, Holly liked what she saw, but Dan seemed almost dumbstruck. He cut his eyes toward Jeb and flushed, probably because his grandfather had caught him staring at Holly. It was no surprise that Dan was staring. With her height and golden-blonde beauty, Holly Grant belonged on the cover of a fashion magazine.
A daring idea struck JebShe isn’t the one I’d have picked for him, but the woman who wants Dan will have to be more than just fluff, and Holly Grant is definitely that.

This Week: We continue where we left off last week.

Crazy for You

Title: Crazy For You
Series: Miraculous Love #2
Author: Meghana Sarathy
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 26, 2018
Sara:
They say one's life is settled when they have a good job, take marital vows and start a family. 
In that sense, my life was settled except for the unease in my heart that was begging for some form of closure with Nate. 
I was a happily married woman - My kids adored me, my husband was madly in love with me. My family was perfect. Just the way I loved it. 
But then Nate came back and all the old feelings were stirred back to life. I demand answers, but he begs for forgiveness. 
I want to turn my back on him, leaving him in the dark but he wishes to bask in the light of the truth - The truth that was kept from him all this while. 
We had been trapped in the web of lies and deceit but now the veil of misunderstanding has finally been removed, making us face the raw, naked, agonizing truth.
They say Love is blind. We can't ever think rationally in love and our heart always wins, but I believe Love is a stubborn, selfish feeling that is not bound by any societal tags or labels, making us question our own morality.
So, this time, I neither listen to my head or heart. I leave the decision to my husband whose love for me has always been pure, 'right' and selfless. 
Love destroys lives but also births miracles. I want to see how this miraculous love plays out in my life.
Crazy For You is the sequel to Enticed By You and is the final book in the Miraculous Love duet.
I see a miniature me staring right back at me. Eyes the same shade as mine –Grey, almost like a faded white crystal. High cheekbones, broad and sharp jawline with a straight nose. My hair is dark blonde, but his is a lighter shade of brown. The resemblance though is uncanny. He can actually grow to be my doppelganger. My mouth hangs open as I take in his face, totally blown over with just how similar we are in looks. “Who are you?” he barks out with brunched brows. “Why you look so similar to me?” “Beats me, Kiddo,” I answer, lost, slowly shaking my head. . “I can ask you the same.” “Brian,” Baylee cries and runs past me to hug him. This again pleases me for reasons not known even to me. The kid who looks awfully similar to me is sweet Baylee’s brother – rather twin brother from what I gather. When they stand together, their resemblance is striking. I turn around and catch sight of the other kid, slightly elder, with his ass planted on the grass, already wailing. The other kids rush to sit beside him and I shift my focus back on Brian. “Who are you?” he asks, looking up at me with a hardly masked scowl. “He is my new friend. Mr. Nate,” Baylee answers, smiling my way. Brian’s scowl hardens as he narrows his eyes at me. He’s clearly not ok with his sister socializing and befriending strangers. The protectiveness and anger that shines in his eyes makes me admire this kid. “How do you know him, Baylee? We are not supposed to be talking to strangers- young or old,” he grits out. “Chill out.” I don’t think my smile will have an effect on him, but I try anyway. “I’m trustworthy. I’m a friend of your new teacher and just helping out here.” “So says all the kidnappers,” he scoffs. “I’m no fool. You stay away from my sister.” I have an urge to actually roll my eyes. A kidnapper? Really? I’m not forgetting this day or these kids. Never been mistaken for a kidnapper before. “That’s so mean,” Baylee scolds him. “You say sorry. He’s reaaalllly nice, Brian.” He gives me a once over and looks straight in my eyes. “Wolf in sheep’s clothing. Can’t trust.” Wow. That’s how his sister picks rather complex and sophisticated words for her age. Her brother is a smart and cocky kid. Even his nature reminds me of myself. How peculiar is that? Not only does he look like me, he even thinks and behaves like me.

Meghana Sarathy is from Bangalore, India. She is an avid reader and also a writer. She mainly reads and writes Adult and New Adult romance, as well as dark and psychological thrillers. She has a special affinity towards love triangles and angst filled stories. Her all time favorite characters are her very own characters- Jennifer, Brandon and Linden.

What Happens on New Year's Eve

Title: What Happens on New Year's Eve Anthology 
Authors: Rochelle Allison ~ Santana Blair ~ Danielle Brenna ~ Elle Christensen ~ Lucy Gage ~ Jessica Ingro ~ Kelli Jean and Vanessa Morse 
Genre: Romance
Release Date: December 26, 2018 100% of proceeds will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention www.afsp.org
New Year’s Eve happens once every year.
The passage of time—it’s inevitable.
Some people celebrate at home with friends. Many more find themselves at social gatherings where candy colored drinks, a few too many flutes of Champagne, and too-tiny appetizers can make for lowered inhibitions and questionable decisions.
Whichever way you deal with the annual milestone, when the clock strikes midnight, life can seem ripe with possibilities. Especially when you see someone across the room who makes you want to slip under some leftover mistletoe after a round of Auld Lang Syne.
Is it love? Is it lust? Or just what happens on New Year’s Eve?
*What Happens on New Year’s Eve is a collection of fun and sexy short stories from a group of fun and sometimes sexy authors. Or maybe they’re ninjas.*
