<br />
<strong><em>ABBY:</em></strong><br />
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying.</div><div><br />
The problem is: it’s not <em>my </em>baby.</div><div><br />
And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner.</div><div><br />
As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth.</div><div><br />
At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: <em>Sigmund Benedictus</em>.</div><div><br />
He and I butted heads.</div><div><br />
Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.</div><div><br />
Gradually, he learned to trust me.</div><div><br />
He even became protective.</div><div><br />
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.</div><div><br />
I was falling in love with him.</div><div><br />
But my time here had a limit.</div><div><br />
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.<br />
<strong><em><br /></em></strong></div><div><strong><em>SIG:</em></strong><br />
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.</div><div><br />
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she
wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would
be the ones to raise it.</div><div><br />
Against my better judgment, I agreed.</div><div><br />
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.</div><div><br />
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single
life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.</div><div><br />
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby
Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long
dead…</div><div><br />
I most certainly<em> wouldn’t </em>fall in love with the surrogate.<br />
<br />

<strong>EXCERPT</strong><br />
<br />
Copyright © 2023<br />
By Penelope Ward<br />
<br />
My phone rang, and I looked down to find it was Lourdes, a woman I’d
hung out with over a year ago. She’d been texting me lately to get
together, and I’d been ignoring her messages. I silenced the ringer.</div><div><br />
“Who was that?” Abby asked.</div><div><br />
“Someone named—none of your business.”</div><div><br />
“A woman? Is that why you’re in such a rush to get back to London?”</div><div><br />
“Trust me, I haven’t met anyone worth rushing anywhere for.”</div><div><br />
“Well, excuse me, Mr. Picky.”</div><div><br />
I rolled over a bit to face her, resting my chin on my hand. “You think it’s odd to be selective?”</div><div><br />
“I don’t think you’re being selective. I think you’re closed off to <em>everyone</em>. There’s a difference.”</div><div><br />
“You seem to have me pegged, but what about you? Why are <em>you </em>single?”</div><div><br />
“I had a bad experience, as I think I’ve mentioned, and haven’t felt like having my heart toyed with again.”</div><div><br />
“How long ago was that? The guy who broke up with you…”</div><div><br />
“Nearly three years now.”</div><div><br />
“But you’ve dated since that breakup.”</div><div><br />
“Yeah. There’ve been a few brief…”</div><div><br />
“Hookups?” I arched a brow.</div><div><br />
“I guess I can admit that now that you’re not actively assessing my character.”</div><div><br />
“Why would I judge you for that? Sex is natural—necessary for survival, if you ask me.”</div><div><br />
“You just don’t want to have anything to do with the women after.”</div><div><br />
Unable to deny it, I shrugged. “There haven’t been<em> that</em> many
women since Britney. At least nothing compared to when I was younger.
Most of the time, I meet someone and decide not to go through with
anything. But of the encounters I <em>have</em> had, yeah, it’s never mattered whether I saw them again.”</div><div><br />
“What was different about Britney? I mean, when you met her? How did you know she was the one?”<br /><br /></div><div>
My chest constricted. “I’d love to be able to give you a less cliché answer—because I <em>hate</em> clichés—but I just knew. After about an hour together, I never wanted to be apart from her.”</div><div><br />
“Fair enough. They say that’s what happens sometimes. You just <em>know</em>.”</div><div><br />
“You’ve never experienced that?”</div><div><br />
“Nope.” Abby shook her head. “Still waiting for it to happen to me.” She
smiled. “Anyway, for the record, I don’t just hook up with people
randomly, like <em>some</em> people.” She elbowed me. “I have to know them first.”</div><div><br />
“Knowing you, Abby, I can’t imagine you not asking someone a million questions before you sleep with them.”</div><div><br />
“Well, yeah. I need to know who I’m dealing with. I’m not going to waste
my time with anyone who’s not a good person—even if I’m wildly
attracted to them.”</div><div><br />
“Sometimes less is more,” I mumbled.</div><div><br />
“This from the man who interrogated me the first time he met me.”</div><div><br />
“Well, I need to know a bit more about someone who’s going to be carrying my child than I would someone I’m merely going to...”</div><div><br />
“F*ck?” She finished my sentence.</div><div><br />
The word on her tongue gave me an unwanted thrill. I wouldn’t have
minded hearing her say it a few more times, which probably meant I
needed my head checked.</div><div><br />
“You wanna go?” she asked.</div><div><br />
Somehow I’d forgotten my urgency to leave. I’d become pretty comfortable
in this spot on the hay. It wasn’t about the hay at all, though, was
it?</div><div><br />
“Well, now you’ve made me lazy. You’re a bad influence, Knickerbocker.”</div><div><br />
She leaned her head on her hand. “Why don’t you just sleep at the inn tonight? Lavinia loves your company.”</div><div><br />
“She’ll be conked out by the time we get back there, but I suppose you
have a point. At this hour, I might as well just drive into London with
you in the morning.”</div><div><br />
“You keep work clothes at The Bainbridge, right?”</div><div><br />
“Yes. I have everything I need in my room.” I looked out through the
barn door. It was now completely nightfall. “Now that it’s dark, you
need to be careful driving back.”</div><div><br />
“You’ll be behind me anyway, in case I run into trouble, right?”</div><div><br />
“Well, you won’t find me driving in front of you ever again,” I teased.</div><div><br />
“Good one.” She laughed as she stood and brushed off her dress. “Can you turn around for a minute?”</div><div><br />
I narrowed my eyes but did as she asked. “Okay…why am I doing this?”</div><div><br />
A few seconds passed. “All good now.”</div><div><br />
“What was that all about?” I asked.</div><div><br />
“You promise not to make fun of me?”</div><div><br />
“No. But tell me anyway.”</div><div><br />
“I had a piece of hay stuck in my underwear.” She flashed a goofy smile.</div><div><br />
And then…I laughed for what felt like the first time in years.<br />

Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money.</div><div><br />
Gradually, he learned to trust me.</div><div><br />
He even became protective.</div><div><br />
Over time, our heated animosity turned into fiery chemistry.</div><div><br />
I was falling in love with him.</div><div><br />
But my time here had a limit.</div><div><br />
I needed to protect my heart from the devastatingly gorgeous older man who’d end up breaking it.<br />
<strong><em><br /></em></strong></div><div><strong><em>SIG:</em></strong><br />
When my in-laws told me they wanted to use my dead wife’s eggs to conceive a grandchild, I wasn’t immediately on board.</div><div><br />
They swore that on her deathbed Britney told them it was what she
wanted—but only if I fathered the baby. Her parents insisted they would
be the ones to raise it.</div><div><br />
Against my better judgment, I agreed.</div><div><br />
I vowed to keep my heart out of it, though.</div><div><br />
I’d continue to pretend it wasn’t happening and live the empty, single
life I’d become accustomed to the past five years since Britney died.</div><div><br />
And despite the fact that a certain younger American named Abby
Knickerbocker had awakened things inside me that I thought were long
dead…</div><div><br />
I most certainly<em> wouldn’t </em>fall in love with the surrogate.<br />

<strong>Title: What Happens at the Lake</strong><br />
<strong>Author: Vi Keeland</strong><br />
<strong>Genre:</strong> <strong>Standalone Contemporary Romance</strong><br />
<strong>Trope: Grumpy-Sunshine</strong><br />
<strong>Release Date: January 15, 2024</strong><br />
</div><div><strong>BLURB</strong><br />
<br />
When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a
while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father
spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title <em>America’s Friendliest Town</em> for seventeen years running, and <em>friendly </em>was just what I needed right now.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, <em>friendly</em> wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.<br />
<br />
Instead, I got <em>Fox Cassidy</em>. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.<br />
<br />
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met.
And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my
tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was
staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have
to be so grumpy.<br />
<br />
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than
his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or
how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in
Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting
involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous
and unlike any man I’d ever met.<br />
<br />
But alas,<em> problem</em> seemed to be my middle name this year. So why
not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a
good plan. At least until it was time to go home…<br />
<br />
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://carlakrae.blogspot.com/2024/01/excerpt-reveal-what-happens-at-lake-by.html" target="_blank">Read an excerpt from this brand new book!</a><br />

<strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Take a sneak peek at WHAT HAPPENS AT THE LAKE.</strong></div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>You know you want to…</strong></div>
<br />
<p></p><div><span><a name='more'></a></span>She smelled like damn summer.</div><div><br />
And it pissed me off.</div><div><br />
Plus, I was tired from a shitty night’s sleep. I’d tossed and turned
thinking about Little Miss Home Improvement wearing nothing but a pair
of denim short overalls and work boots—no shirt, no socks, definitely no
bra or underwear.</div><div><br />
Josie hopped down from the last two steps on the ladder. “Can I ask you something?”</div><div><br />
“What?”</div><div><br />
“Are you always this grumpy in the morning?”</div><div><br />
“I’m not grumpy.”</div><div><br />
“No? So this is what? Your idea of a sparkling personality? I asked if your coffee was okay, and you grunted at me.”</div><div><br />
“That wasn’t a grunt. That was a yes.”</div><div><br />
Josie made a short, deep noise that sounded like a pig.</div><div><br />
I arched a brow. “Is that supposed to be me?”</div><div><br />
She made the sound again, this time adding some monkeylike arm movements and jumping around. “<em>Gronk</em>.”</div><div><br />
“Cute.”</div><div><br />
She jumped again. “<em>Gronk. Gronk</em>.”</div><div><br />
I tried not to react, but she was just too damn adorable.</div><div><br />
Josie pointed at my face. “There it is again. The elusive Mr. Grumpy Pants smile. It’s kind of…dare I say…<em>nice</em>.” She made an exaggerated gasping sound and covered her mouth. “Oh no. I hope it’s not too painful.”</div><div><br />
“Alright, wiseass. I get the point. How about you take your oinking ass
out front and grab one of the small two by fours I left on the porch?
I’ll show you how to make an easy support to hold up the drywall while
it gets screwed into the ceiling.”</div><div><br />
Josie strutted to the door. The woman was wearing a white tank top and
long, pale pink, flowy skirt to do construction. It looked like she was
going on a picnic date, rather than hanging sheetrock—though the tank
top hugged her in all the right places, and there was something about
her collarbone that I couldn’t drag my eyes away from. She bent to pick
up the wood out front, and the top of her tank gaped open, giving me a
clear view down her shirt. I forced my head in the other direction,
though my eyes managed to slant and continue looking.</div><div><br />
“Jesus Christ,” I grumbled to myself. “I need to get the fu¢k out of here.”</div><p>

<strong>Title: The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand</strong><br />
<strong>Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland</strong><br />
<strong>Genre:</strong> <strong>Standalone Contemporary Romance</strong><br />
<strong>Release Date: November 12, 2023</strong><br />
</div><p>
</p><div><strong>BLURB</strong><br />
<br />
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: <em>Don’t fall for the girl.</em> </div><div><br />
After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. </div><div><br />
Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. </div><div><br />
I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. </div><div><br />
Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. </div><div><br />
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. </div><div><br />
In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again. </div><div><br />
So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the
building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on
the other side. </div><div><br />
If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was
nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord
and she was about to be evicted… </div><div><br />
And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410. <br />

<br />
</div>
<div>“Can I ask you something?”</div><div><br />
“What?”</div><div><br />
“Were you jealous that I was out with another woman?”</div><div><br />
Devyn looked away. “No.”</div><div><br />
My lip twitched. “No, huh?”</div><div><br />
“I wasn’t jealous.”</div><div><br />
It was difficult to keep a straight face, because she was so clearly
full of sh$t. But…if she wasn’t jealous, a few details wouldn’t bother
her, right?</div><div><br />
I sipped my wine and watched Devyn’s face. “Tarryn asked if I wanted to take her back to my place.”<br />
Her eyes narrowed. “That’s nice.”</div><div><br />
“We’ve had sex before. So I don’t think she wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV.”</div><div><br />
Devyn’s face flushed red.</div><div><br />
I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to see her get pissed—admit she was damn jealous.</div><div><br />
“Yeah, that Tarryn’s a real wild woman in bed. Last time she visited, we
broke a lamp. Knocked it right off the end table from the bed bouncing
around so much.”</div><div><br />
I watched the muscle flex in her cheek, the same cheek that was turning a
lovely shade of crimson. Yet she still wouldn’t look at me.</div><div><br />
“Devyn?”</div><div><br />
Her lips pursed as she stared straight ahead.</div><div><br />
“Devyn?” I said louder.</div><div><br />
“What?”</div><div><br />
“Look at me.”</div><div><br />
Her head whipped to face me, and she stared with daggers in her eyes.</div><div><br />
I smiled. “It wouldn’t bother you if I…fu¢ked Tarryn?”</div><div><br />
That did it.</div><div><br />
She broke.</div><div><br />
But she didn’t yell at me like I expected.</div><div><br />
Not at all.</div><div><br />
Instead, she smashed her lips against mine.</div><div><br />
It caught me so off guard that I took a few seconds to catch up. By the
time I did, Devyn was hoisting herself over, climbing me like a freaking
tree.</div><div><br />
<em>Fu¢k yeah</em>.</div><div><br />
This.</div><div><br />
<em>This</em> was the chemistry we’d had from the very start.</div><div><br />
I grabbed her a$s with one hand, lifting her higher, and guided her legs
around my waist, so lost in the moment that nothing existed in the
world except this kiss.</div><div><br />
Which was probably why I didn’t hear the door open…</div></div><div><br />

<p></p><div><strong>BLURB</strong><br />
<br />
When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a
while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father
spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title <em>America’s Friendliest Town</em> for seventeen years running, and <em>friendly </em>was just what I needed right now.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, <em>friendly</em> wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.<br />
<br />
Instead, I got <em>Fox Cassidy</em>. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.<br />
<br />
Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met.
And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my
tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was
staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have
to be so grumpy.<br />
<br />
As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than
his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or
how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in
Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting
involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous
and unlike any man I’d ever met.<br />
<br />
But alas,<em> problem</em> seemed to be my middle name this year. So why
not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a
good plan. At least until it was time to go home…<br />
<br />
They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.<br />

When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn...</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.</div><div><br /></div><div>Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—was me.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.</div><div><br /></div><div>”But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn't prepared for where I'd wind up when the ride was over.</div><div><br /></div><div>All good things must come to an end, right?</div><div><br /></div><div>Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4ZjH9s0cVrnrOi-kkhYFNEhK_V-fwXJtA4mW4Mclf9B0DR-uXDey7_hhL-rzKBu2zi7QE1125jvBNrrZOzm9yKU_pq9hE7x9DKlI0Ppon9w6hPwJLyC3wQ6geuS7GXKD_sRevSgZf0RC9FvIYXkkkJ029W1Eamq5WGGU47_4-BlK2V4KQAX7_Ia3AB44A/s1446/Series%20Graphic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="1446" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4ZjH9s0cVrnrOi-kkhYFNEhK_V-fwXJtA4mW4Mclf9B0DR-uXDey7_hhL-rzKBu2zi7QE1125jvBNrrZOzm9yKU_pq9hE7x9DKlI0Ppon9w6hPwJLyC3wQ6geuS7GXKD_sRevSgZf0RC9FvIYXkkkJ029W1Eamq5WGGU47_4-BlK2V4KQAX7_Ia3AB44A/w640-h374/Series%20Graphic.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="_linksLayer_1titd_42" style="transform: scale(1.75);"><a aria-label="External link" href="https://amzn.to/3DyLOZf" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="bottom: 662.96px; height: 15.3px; left: 143.53px; position: absolute; width: 122.36px;" target="_blank"></a><a aria-label="External link" href="https://amzn.to/3LpkVJ1" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="bottom: 647.66px; height: 15.3px; left: 148.32px; position: absolute; width: 119.17px;" target="_blank"></a><a aria-label="External link" href="https://amzn.to/3doIMfm" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="bottom: 632.37px; height: 15.29px; left: 147.68px; position: absolute; width: 120.45px;" target="_blank"></a><a aria-label="External link" href="https://amzn.to/3RV0XIy" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="bottom: 617.07px; height: 15.3px; left: 145.44px; position: absolute; width: 121.73px;" target="_blank"></a></div><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Penelope and Vi are offering their book, <strong>THE RULES OF DATING for FREE starting TODAY until November 5th only! </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16px;">This

This promo features both e-books & audiobooks in Kobo Plus.<div><br /><p><strong>What is Kobo?</strong> An app you can download you to your phone or tablet, like you’ve downloaded the Kindle App to your phone or tablet. They also have a branded e-reader like the Kindle. You must have the app or the e-reader to get your free month of Kobo Plus – and to continue with the program, if you so choose. <br /><br /></p><p><strong>How Much is Kobo Plus? </strong>Your first month is free if you’re a new member. </p><p>Following that month, the prices are cheaper than Kindle Unlimited. <br /><br />Kobo Plus Reading – 7.99</p><p>Kobo Plus Listening – 7.99</p><p><strong>Kobo Plus Listening & Reading – 9.99 (Best Deal)</strong><br /><br />Please note these prices are in USD, and be sure to check your country to verify for sure. <br /><br />As of September 19th, 2023 the prices are <strong><em>monthly</em></strong>.<br /><br /></p><p><strong>Is Kobo Plus Truly Unlimited?</strong>– Kobo Plus is truly unlimited and allows readers to access as many titles as they’d like with no restrictions.

<br />
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: <em>Don’t fall for the girl.</em> </div><div><br />
After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. </div><div><br />
Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. </div><div><br />
I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. </div><div><br />
Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. </div><div><br />
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. </div><div><br />
In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again. </div><div><br />
So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the
building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on
the other side. </div><div><br />
If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was
nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord
and she was about to be evicted… </div><div><br />
And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410. <br />

<strong>From <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story… </strong><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;">It all started with an unexpected phone call.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />The last thing I ever expected?</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Josh Mathers, my fiancé's best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him. </div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />But this was <em>Josh.</em></div><p><em style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;">I could never.</em> </p><p><a href="http://carlakrae.blogspot.com/2023/08/excerpt-reveal-i-could-never-by.html" target="_blank">Excerpt</a></p><p>Get it while it's $3.99 (U.S. Pricing) for a limited time.

He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him. </div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br />But this was <em>Josh.</em></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><em></em><i><br /></i><em>I could never.</em></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><em><br /></em></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><strong><span><a name='more'></a></span>GOODREADS LINK:</strong> <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3De929f76eac%26e%3D44e300bd28&source=gmail&ust=1689340142732000&usg=AOvVaw2L_BTEEiU1Shk2UIu61wgB" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=e929f76eac&e=44e300bd28" style="color: #6dc6dd; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">https://www.goodreads.com/<wbr></wbr>book/show/186725244</span></a><br /> <br /> <br /><strong>PRE-ORDER LINKS</strong><br /> <br />Apple Books: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3Dc27f360bde%26e%3D44e300bd28&source=gmail&ust=1689340142732000&usg=AOvVaw2lCnkghB2ivhJqKtNqQs7m" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=c27f360bde&e=44e300bd28" style="color: #6dc6dd; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">https://apple.co/46Fh2Kg</span></a><br />Paperback: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3Dd2c1c8abbc%26e%3D44e300bd28&source=gmail&ust=1689340142732000&usg=AOvVaw2hGw-aTUqXydybOYQP8G9A" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=d2c1c8abbc&e=44e300bd28" style="color: #6dc6dd; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">https://amzn.to/3pIYPeg</span></a><br /> <br /><strong>Sign up to be alerted when it goes live on Amazon here: </strong><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u%3D02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05%26id%3Dd444011e72%26e%3D44e300bd28&source=gmail&ust=1689340142732000&usg=AOvVaw2gpNhj1X9I4zUlI-KCP8nx" href="https://blogspot.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=02d8814aa30c256a59f7d8b05&id=d444011e72&e=44e300bd28" style="color: #6dc6dd; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">https://fave.co/2KoLPUN</span></a><br /><strong>**No Amazon e-book preorder.

Josh sat at the table, casually having coffee as I walked into the house
after my drive home from the salon. The smell of cigarettes emanated
from him. He hadn’t smelled like that since the first day he arrived.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“Where’s Scottie?” I asked.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“In his room,” he answered without making eye contact.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
I stated the obvious. “You smell like smoke.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“Must be the firewood.” He brought his mug to his mouth.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“Bullsh*t. The pellet stove doesn’t emit any fumes.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“Yeah. I caved and had one. Big deal.” He pointed toward the door. “I
did it outside, though, while keeping an eye on Scottie through the
window.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“You’d been doing so well. What happened?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
He still wasn’t looking at me, and instead stared straight ahead. “Just human, I guess.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
Then something in front of him on the table caught my attention: pieces of ripped pages piled atop…<em>my journal</em>.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;">
A rush of adrenaline shot through me. “Why do you have that?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“It’s apparently your diary.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“I’m quite aware of that.” My heart began to pound. “You were snooping in my room?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
He shot daggers at me. “Think, Carly. Of the two guys in this house, who
is the one more likely to have been ransacking your room?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“You were supposed to be watching him while I was at the salon,” I yelled.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“God forbid I take a piss in peace. Is it not bad enough that I’m showering with him now? Getting my balls tugged?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
I wanted to laugh, but this moment was far from funny.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“Scottie ripped those pages out?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“The notebook is bright orange, like his iPad cover. Probably caught his
attention. The drawer next to your bed was open, so he must have gone
in there. I assume that’s where you kept it. Admittedly, I’d been
letting him hang out in your room, but you sometimes do, too. I went to
check on him, make sure he wasn’t doing anything bad, and found those
pages strewn about.” A vein popped in his neck.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
Josh was angry. <em>Why?</em> I should’ve been the angry one.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“Did you read it?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“I only happened to see what was on the pages he ripped. I didn’t read anything else once I figured out what the hell it was.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
<em>This is bad.</em> Starting to sweat, I asked, “But <em>how much</em> did you see?”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
He stood up from his seat and slowly approached me. With each step he
took toward me, I took one back. When we could go no farther, he placed
his arms on either side of me, leaning his hands against the wall. And I
forgot how to breathe.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
<em>Fear. Arousal. Embarrassment.</em> You name it, I was feeling it right now. Every emotion hit me at once.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
His breath grazed my face. “How much did I actually see?” He paused. “Enough to know you think I’m an evil pig.”</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
<em>Ugh. No. </em>Now his anger made sense.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
When he backed away, I walked over to the ripped pages on the table and sifted through them.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
“It’s the last one, for reference,” he noted.</div><div style="font-size: 14.85px;"><br />
