We’re a few days out from the publication of Summer Romance on Main Street, more than 150,000 words with six novellas and another to come in an update.
I had a quick skim through an advance copy this morning when the publisher asked us all to take a look for layout issues, and was wildly tempted to stop and read. It’s a treat to come! Here are the blurbs. Don’t miss out on this lovely summer treat for only 99c.

They both escape to Latin America for different reasons. Adrienne is tired turning a blind eye to her husband’s affairs. Nick trails after her, not only because he’s become an overnight YouTube sensation and he doesn’t know how to handle it, but also because he’s secretly been in love with Adrienne, his cousin’s wife, for years.
