Preacher’s daughter Chloe Kilian’s luck with men has been less than inspirational. One was a cheater, two thought they were God’s gift to women, three had Mother Separation anxiety, and four had been chosen by her father. None of the odds were in her favor of meeting Mr. Right. Ready to flee Cupid, Texas to save her sanity, Chloe decides to give love one more chance. Attorney Drew Lawrence grudging agrees to fulfill an impulsive bet he made – one he is sure he will regret if he gets caught! A cynic, he doesn’t believe in true love, happily ever after, or the town’s silly Cupid superstition. The last thing he expects when he runs naked around the town statue to settle a wager is to bump into the preacher’s daughter! Caught in a compromising situation, Drew never thought a woman could intrigue him enough to think of happily-ever-after. Will Cupid’s arrow pierce Drew and Chloe’s hearts and build a lasting love, or will the two skeptics, both running from the truth of their emotional wounds, be more than even Cupid can heal?

Book excerpt: A house flipper looking for quick profit. A survivor with a dream. Can two broken hearts find a place to call home? Prepare for romance and fun with the first book in a brand new home-flipping series brought to you by USA Today bestselling author Josie Riviera When a Miami investor calls in search of prime property flip prospects, North Carolina real estate broker Candee Contando expects to meet a balding, steely-eyed land shark. Turns out the first customer she's had in months is a hot prospect in more ways than one. Except his gaze has fallen on her dream house, a dilapidated Victorian she just bid her last penny on in hopes of creating a safe place for disadvantaged children-like the girl she used to be. Teddy Winchester is adept at negotiating life's curves, but Candee's curves stop him in his tracks. She's a warm spark in the emptiness he's felt since his brother died, leaving him with a beloved nephew to raise. Attraction glows in Candee's eyes as well, but there's also wistfulness as she points out all the reasons an old, tumbledown Victorian doesn't fit into his tried-and-true house-flipping plan. Yet the more he looks at the house-and at her-he begins to think some things are worth the risk. Now if only he can convince her that building a new life often starts with tearing down some walls... When the heart flips, there's no telling where the walls will fall. Love this home-flipping series? Snag your copy of 1-800-CHRISTMAS, the second book in this series!

Wedding planner Aria Alzate has one goal: to give her best friend a perfect day. But after a bump on the head, she’s under doctor’s orders not to travel on her own. So she’s stuck on the road to Twilight with upright, uptight Remington Lockhart in the driver’s seat. True, Remy is one long, tall, Texas male, but the ex-military man never saw a rule he didn’t like—making this one long road trip . . . Remy has left the military, but the military lifestyle has not left him. The uncertainty this ex-paratrooper encountered during his tour of duty has convinced him that plans—combined with backup plans—will keep life under control. Aria is undeniably tempting, but her fly-by-the-seat of her pants attitude is never going to work. Then a sudden snowstorm strikes, and these opposites come together in a night of unexpected passion. And suddenly the magic of a Twilight, Texas, Christmas takes hold, proving that sometimes the best plan is to have no plan at all.
