Their Mended Hearts

 A second chance at love… if they’re brave enough to take it.

 

Their Mended Hearts

Cardinal Creek Book 2

by Angie Cole

Genre: Sweet Small-Town Contemporary Second-Chance Romance


He’s a firefighter haunted by tragedy; she’s a nurse who never stopped loving him. Jon and Katie find themselves drawn back together, bound by shared history and the promise of healing and hope.

Jon Clemmons, a devoted firefighter, carries the heavy burden of guilt from losing his sister in a tragic accident. His pain runs deep, and he’s learned to keep others at a distance, afraid to let anyone see his scars.

Katie Deluca, a compassionate nurse, and Jon’s first love, has her own wounds, but she’s never stopped caring for him. When they’re reunited at a family wedding, old sparks reignite, and with them, old hurts that need mending.

As Jon and Katie draw closer, Jon’s troubled past, family secrets, and a volatile temper threaten to unravel the bond between them. Katie’s unwavering love gives him hope, but fears of reliving their painful past linger.

Will they find strength in each other to break free from the grip of old grief, or will their love slip away once more?

 EXCERPT

Jon Clemmons stepped out of the ambulance. The blaze roared, but his heart pounded louder.

Every fire brought back the memories. Every scream echoed in his mind. His sister’s desperate cries for help from the wrecked SUV haunted him, playing on an endless loop in his nightmares.

Tonight, he had a chance to save someone else. A little girl was trapped inside the burning house, and Jon wouldn’t fail her the way he’d failed Shelly. Ignoring the Chief’s orders, he rushed inside, his lungs burning with smoke, his resolve stronger than his fear.

Would this fire be the one that finally broke him?

About the Author

My journey as a romance author is deeply rooted in my personal experiences of love, loss, and resilience. The profound impact of the losses I have endured, including the passing of my grandparents and my parents, has shaped my perspective on life and love.

My own love story is one of healing and finding joy after heartache, and it mirrors the themes I explore in my novels.

As a survivor of grief and a believer in the power of love, I channel my experiences into crafting stories that resonate with the complexities and triumphs of the human heart. My writing is a testament to the idea that love can emerge from the most unexpected places, offering hope and healing. The one thing that can be learned from grief is that it's a very personal experience and isn't the same for every person.

Once Upon a Billionaire

 Get enchanted by these modern-day princesses and their billionaire romances!

 

Once Upon a Billionaire

The Billionaire Fairy Tales Book 4

by MacKenzie Stowe

Genre: Contemporary Billionaire Romance


In the bustling heart of New York City, Kiara Aurelius, a reserved school teacher, takes on an unusual gig: house-sitting for Barrett Olson, a suave and enigmatic businessman she’s never met. Nestled in his upscale penthouse, Kiara delights in the luxurious surroundings, immersing herself in Barrett’s world while capturing the city's vibrant essence from his panoramic windows.

Barrett returns home unexpectedly, catching Kiara off guard. Rather than being angry, he is intrigued by the beautiful stranger in his home. The air crackles with undeniable chemistry as they navigate this unexpected encounter. As night falls, their connection deepens, and passion ignites in ways neither could have imagined and evolves into an unforgettable weekend.

As the weekend comes to a close, Kiara and Barrett part ways, uncertain if they’ll ever meet again. They are unexpectedly reunited, but their burgeoning romance faces obstacles they never anticipated. Kiara’s protective brother and Barrett’s disapproving employee threaten to tear them apart. Caught between family loyalty and societal expectations, Kiara and Barrett must decide if their love is worth fighting for.

In this modern retelling of The Three Little Bears, Once Upon a Billionaire explores the delicate balance of love and trust in a world where appearances can be deceiving. Will Kiara and Barrett find a way to navigate their differences and build a love that's just right, or will the forces against them prove too great to overcome? Dive into a story where love is a gamble and only the strongest hearts prevail.

This book was previous published as a novella as part of the Tall Dark and Rich Anthology. It has been reimagined as a full novel.

 EXCERPT

The evening had certainly taken an unexpected and exciting turn. I’d thought I would spend the evening alone. I thought I would open a bottle of wine and go over some paperwork. I thought I would lose myself in contemplating my future until the wee hours of the morning.

I had not counted on finding not only a woman in my place, but an attractive woman that could hold her own against me. I wasn’t used to anyone telling me what to do or trying to put me in my place. She had done both, beautifully, in the span of less than a half hour.

She was intriguing and nothing like her brother. He was quiet, almost submissive, with me. He never talked back, he never questioned me, he certainly would never tell me what I should do and why. It was one of the reasons I hired him. I needed a yes man, someone who would do exactly what I said, the way I said it, and without question.

Darian and I had found a shorthand with each other. He could anticipate my needs, sometimes even before I had them. It was what made him so invaluable to me and such a contrast to the woman standing in front of me.

There were some familial characteristics between them. They both had short, pointed noses and deep blue eyes. Where Darian had sandy blonde hair, Kiara’s was more of a golden blonde. It cascaded down her back in small ringlets making me long to run my fingers through it. Darian was tall and skinny with a runner's physique, Kiara had curves in all the right places.

She was certainly different from any woman I’d ever met. She didn’t blanch when I asked her to leave or all but accused her of breaking into my place. She stood her ground and looked like an Athenian goddess when she did.

I had never been so interested in a woman so quickly or intensely as I was with Kiara. Even when she was annoying me, even when she was trying to tell me that everything was my fault, all I could think about was pulling her toward me and then pushing her up against the nearest wall.

Her head tilted up slightly at my statement. I could tell she didn’t believe me, as her eyes almost rolled into the back of her head. It was a line I had used before, more times than I could ever count. I still meant every word of it when it came to Kiara.

“If I had a dollar,” she said.

“For what? Every time I told a woman she was the most interesting and sexiest woman I’d ever met? You still wouldn’t be as rich as me, but pretty close.” I moved closer to her.

I liked invading her space. I liked seeing her eyes get big for a half a second before they changed to something else. Sometimes it was annoyance or anger, but mostly it was desire. Desire was the only one I wanted to see.

“Thank you for the compliment. Too bad I can’t return the favor.” She walked away from me and took a drink of her wine, well, my wine. I watched as her hand shook ever so slightly. It told me she wasn’t as unaffected by me as she wanted me to believe.

Stone of Doubt

In the absence of doubt, only faith is found.

 

Stone of Doubt

Stones of Iona Book 5

by Margaret Izard

Genre: Time Travel, Paranormal Romance


A human with Fae powers living like an oddball has its ups and downs until Evie MacDougall’s dream Fae boy pops back into her life after she thought another was “the one.” One dark and devilish, the other her long-lost love. Evil forces trap her for a magic Fae stone, but which man can she trust?


As a teen prophesied to be Fae king, Aodhán viewed the girl of his dreams through an Eye of Ra. Once, he risked all to help Evie MacDougall find a magic Fae stone, only to end up imprisoned. Kept from his true love for years, he finds her at risk from an evil Fae hunting a magic stone.

Is a single vow strong enough to save true love, to save the human and Fae realms?

 EXCERPT

Evie threw open Kat’s door, allowing it to bang against the wall.

Kat rolled over. “Kind of early, even for ye, Evie.”

Evie strode to Kat’s closet, flipping through each item. She didn’t say a word, fearful she’d give away something, anything that told her best friend she’d visited the Fae realm.

Kat sat up. “What are ye wearing? Yer hair’s lighter. I like it!”

Evie glanced down, forgetting the Fae gown, and shrugged. “Something for a play.” She cringed inside at lying to her friend but couldn’t tell anyone she was the one the Fae fable referred to. Not yet, at least.

Evie flipped back and forth between a crop top and a skirt. Kat’s chest was like her ma’s, larger than Evie’s, but Evie’s hips were bigger. Her clothes had to fit. Evie didn’t have time to go shopping. She wasn’t ready for the idea of selecting new clothing that she’d never bothered to glance at, let alone try on.

Grabbing the pink crop top and gray pencil skirt, Evie felt comfortable with it being long enough to cover her knees. She had to start somewhere. If she wore a miniskirt to work, ha! Evie envisioned falling, carrying ale, and flashing her personals to all of Maggie’s Bar. That’d be a hoot.

As Kat called after her, she strode from the room. “Sure, ye can borrow some of my clothes. Thanks for asking!”

In her room, Evie stripped the Fae gown and hung it, carefully placing it in the back of her closet. She slipped on a bra and undies and donned the crop top lifting her arms to ensure her boobs stayed covered. With the skirt on, she examined herself in the mirror.

“Nice. Not yer usual colors.” Kat leaned on the frame, yawning. “The form-fitting cotton looks good.”

Evie turned right, then left, checking her reflection. It needed something more. She moved to her closet, examining her belts. The skinny suspenders, that’s what it needed. Attaching those, she turned before the mirror and nodded.

As she sat to put on her black boots, Kat collapsed on her bed. “Why the change?” She rolled over. “Not that I’m complaining, but pink with light gray and form-fitting cotton isn’t yer norm.”

Kat sat up. “Manix! It has to be. Ye have the hots for Manix!”

Evie shrugged as she brushed her long hair out. This was good. If they thought she spent her time with Manix, they wouldn’t figure out she’d spent most of the evening in the Fae realm with Aodhán.

She placed her hair in pigtails and began braiding each one. She had to keep her hair up for her waitressing, but after work, when she went out with Manix, the braids would make her hair wavy when she let it out. Perfect.

Speaking of Fae realms, “Where’s Ewan and Doug?”

Kat stood and went to the door. “In bed as usual. They come back later and later each trip.” She sighed. “They should be careful.”

Evie checked the clock. Dash, it’s almost eleven am. Her shift started at noon, and Manix said he’d pick her up at nine when her shift ended.

She grabbed her leather jacket and went past Kat, who held her arm. “Do ye know what ye are doing with Manix? Ewan mentioned that some say he has a temper he can’t control.”

Evie pulled her arm away. “It’s nothing. I’m sure exaggeration.”

Evie ran to the door as Kat called after her, “Sure, don’t mind me, yer BFF. I only just arrived, and ye are off every evening with a man.” She sighed dramatically. “I’ll stay in with a movie again.”

Evie stopped at the opened door. “Soon, ye and I will go bar hopping. Introduce ye around.”

Kat chuckled, “Hold ye to it.”

Evie wasn’t certain what this day held. She’d not dated many men as none seemed to appeal to her. Ewan said it was because she compared them all to her Fae boy, and maybe she had. A human could never beat out the attraction a Fae held. It wasn’t a mere myth but the total truth.
