Welcome back! I’ve been on vacation and taking care of some things for my mom. It’s been crazy busy with editing deadlines and I have a BIG book deadline coming in just six short week. Still, I will try to be around more for the remainder of these Dog Days of Summer.

This week Brenda Margriet said, Let’s share our favorite summer photos, from any year.

Let me see what I can find for summer pics!

Okay, okay. I’ll see what I can find from “REAL” life. LOLOLOL

I hope your summer is going great. Tell me about It.

Hop back for Leslie Hachtel or Keep on hopping for Dani Jace!

Set on defying her greedy father, Roberta (Robbie) Fletcher refuses to marry an old codger, choosing instead to join the Everton Domestic Society, where she happily helps widows with correspondence and figures. When Miles Hallsmith proposes, she is momentarily elated…until he admits to being sent by her father and his brother. Ignoring her crushed heart, she puts Miles to the task of uncovering their relatives’ motivation in making the match.

Miles has been smitten by Robbie since the moment he met her at a ball. As a third son with no means of supporting a wife, he’d had no right to court her. When the lady’s father and Miles’ despicable brother insist he marry the object of his infatuation, Miles is torn between desire and suspicion.

Everton ladies are notoriously brilliant and Robbie is not a woman to be toyed with. Miles must prove his feelings are motivated by more than the lure of independence and money, while also thwarting his brother’s plots.

Bad blood and lingering doubts litter the road to their happily ever after. It will take cunning and honesty to bring Miles and Robbie their hearts’ desire.
