Who says you can’t find love over a plate of mushroom ravioli?
Rachel Prescott has always dated the wrong men.Each relationship begins with
hope, but within months ends with “nope.”The harder she tries, the harder she
fails. That is, until the new owner of Pier Ninety-Two, Miguel Rodriguez, spots
her wallowing over her latest dating disaster in his restaurant.
Easily smitten with the brown-haired beauty, Miguel offers her his heart. Or at
least, what’s left of it. Because Miguel has had his own troubled past finding
the right woman. With the echo of lost love still haunting his heart, he
convinces himself he’s ready to move on—and who better with than the spunky,
sexy, and strong-willed, Rachel Prescott?
Over a bottle of wine (or two), Miguel and Rachel instantly connect. And by the
end of the evening, it’s more than their shared plate of mushroom ravioli left
steaming.

go of the past. Fans of KG Fletcher’s The Reining Hearts Series and
Katie Cotugno’s How to Love will find a new one-click buy with Ms.
Navickas’ romances. Fall in love with imperfect, but perfect for the right
person.
“Rachel has always believed that the deck has been stacked against her when it comes to love.”
Miguel nodded. “She’s told me, too.”
“Good. Because it’s true.”
He snorted.
“I’m not kidding. She’s dated every idiot under the sun. Shady accountants. Frat boy dirtbags. Adrenaline junkies with a drug problem.” Rose widened her eyes. “Even a commercial airline pilot who collected vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”
Miguel scrunched his nose.
“Yeah, right?” She giggled. “You have to trust me when I tell you, when it comes to love… it just has never worked out for her. Until now.”
The breath caught in his throat. He released Rose’s fingers and gripped the back of his neck. Running his hands through his short crop of hair, he sighed as her sweet words stung.
“We’ve always poked fun at the men she’s brought home. Just one loser after the next. But that all changed when she met you.”
“I’m not a loser then?”
Rose laughed and shook her head. “The exact opposite. You won her heart.”
His soul sang. For a fleeting second, Rose’s words sealed the pit in his stomach, but reality battled on.
“If what you say is all true and I’m different from everyone else she’s been with, why did this happen?” He groaned. “Rachel pushed me away.”
“Miguel, I’m a chef, not a psychiatrist.”

Trusting Love
Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 1
What does a s’more, a tent, and a
campfire have in common? For Ryan Prescott, it’s a typical weekend camping
trip. But for Tess Browning… it’s a recipe for the truth.
Tess Browning earned the nickname Little Vixen for a reason. And she
has no incentive to play by the rules anymore. Because why bother? All it ever
did was trap her in a loveless marriage. Tossing faithfulness out the window,
the only thing she is committed to now is her new code: keeping it fun, flirty,
and deliciously sultry.
That is, until Ryan Prescott walks in and charms his way into her heart with a
leather tool belt strapped around his waist. He’s sexy, smart, and as
emotionally damaged as they come. And Ryan seemingly wants nothing more than to
have Tess pick up the pieces of his broken heart.
But there’s one thing he doesn’t know about her.
When the details of Ryan’s past heartache come to light, Tess digs her hot pink
heels into the ground and will stop at nothing to hide her past indiscretions
from the man who stole her heart. Because if there’s one thing Ryan won’t
tolerate—it’s dishonesty.
Will Tess manage to keep the truth hidden? Or, will the secrets of a lifetime
shatter her one true chance at love?
Best-selling and award-winning author Julie Navickas brings back fan
favorite, Tess Browning for her own shot at love. Readers of the Trading
Heartbeats trilogy will recognize the flawed heroine but may not recognize the
woman she’s become. After all, no one is above redemption. Fans of Lynn
Painter’s Mr. Wrong Number and Katie Cotugno’s Birds of California will find a
swoon-worthy and engaging romance in TRUSTING LOVE.
Beside
him, she released a heavy breath and lifted her gaze. The deep hues of blue
sparkled, each eye coated in a thin layer of tears.
“Wait,
is something wrong?” Ryan frowned and propped his body up on an elbow.
She
shook her head and smiled. Dragging a hand down the side of his face, she
paused on his cheek. “This happened really fast, didn't it?”
You’re
not wrong.
Ryan
gripped her hand and pressed a kiss on her palm. “It did,” he muttered.
“One
minute we’re picking out a paint color and the next we’re sleeping together
beneath the stars.”
Their
relationship flashed before his eyes, each smile on her lips gripping his heart
as affection and desire built within his soul.
“It may
have been fast, but that doesn’t make it any less real for me.”
A
single tear slid down her cheek and dripped onto his arm. It rolled, falling to
the blankets and dissolving into the material.
“It’s
real for me, too.” She sniffled. “Maybe too real.”
A
twinge gripped his gut. “What’s that mean?”
“Like,
when is the other shoe going to drop?” She snorted. “When does the dream end,
or the bubble burst?”
Just
as cynical as me. You’ve been hurt just as bad, haven’t you?
Ryan
sat up and reached for her sandals in the corner of the tent.
“What’re
you doing?”
He
pressed the first shoe into his chest. “I promise, I won’t drop it.” Holding
the second sandal out to her, he placed it in her hands and guided it to her
chest. “If you won’t.”
Her
smile melted his heart. Eyeing a blonde curl falling in her face, he tucked it
behind her ear as a shiver zipped along his spine—inspiration striking once
more. “How about another adventure this morning, Ms. Browning?”
“Clothes
on or off?”
With a
wink, he pressed a kiss on her forehead. “That’ll be your choice.”
