Taming Rachel is currently in edits. As soon as I get a cover I'll share. In the meantime, enjoy a nice view of Dustin Stiles. He's a larger than life hottie who uses a blindfold and a silk scarft to convince his lady to take a chance on love... forever.

Wrap Me In Choclate
Hi, My name is Mary. I'm a chocoholic.
Do you love chocolate so much you'd bathe in it?
Here's your chance.
Warm 1/2 cup of honey in a microwave then stir in 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened cocoa until it dissolves. If the mixture cools, reheat it, but don't let it get hot. Now spread the mudlike spaste evenly over your body.
Wrap your legs, arms and torso in plastic wrap to seal in the paste and sit or lie for 20 minutes.
Once done, peel of the wrap and wsh away the paste in a warm shower.
Your skin should feel silky smooth.
There are hydrating and revitalizing antioxidants in cocoa and honey.

Arranged Marriage...What?!
Who agrees to an arranged marriage in
the 21st century? Beth Malone can’t believe a date request with the
1Night Stand service morphed into an arranged marriage offer. But after a
heartbreaking divorce and no knight in shining armor coming to sweep her off
her feet, her desire to find that knight and have a family is looking more like
a dream than a reality.
After filling out a 1Night Stand
questionnaire worthy of the CIA, Christian Ramos is stunned when Madame Eve
offers to arrange more than a date for one night: she suggests a wife! What the
hell? And after his best friend Jackson Castillo stops laughing, he advises him
to consider the offer. Between the fortieth birthday looming on the horizon and
his Latino upbringing, Chris is forced to take a hard look at his life. Reality
check—time is running out for what he wants—a family and a woman to share his
life.
First comes love, then comes marriage
isn’t part of their matrimonial situation, but neither Beth nor Christian
anticipated the immediate attraction and contentment that comes with saying, “I
do.”
I hope you love Chris and Beth as
much as I do! Madame Eve definitely knew what she was doing bringing these two
lovebirds together!
You could win $25 USD in Amazon
funny money to spend on anything you want (heaven knows they get lots of MY
money pretty regularly), plus I’m giving away a 3-book e-book bundle—you choose
the great reads!—from Decadent Publishing, and a Decadent audiobook of your choice from
Audible.com!
Only one thing is mandatory: You MUST
purchase First Comes Marriage (http://goo.gl/kjTk6h)
from Amazon before midnight tonight. It’s only 99 cents, but for the chance to
win awesome prezzies...so worth it! Email
me the receipt—a screenshot of the Amazon receipt or confirmation email is
fine—BAM! You’re in the running for the big win!
If you read First Comes Marriage and leave a review, please let me know! I plan
to give away ANOTHER bag of prizes to one reviewer at the end of August.

#Thursday13 – Reasons to attend the #MontroseBlueberryFestival
I live in a small community in Mid-Michigan and every year during the third
weekend in August we host the Montrose Blueberry Festival. (Yes, we
do have many places to pick berries!) But for those who have never
attended our festival, here are a few reasons to zip into my town for a visit.
1. Blueberries… everything blueberries! Yummy! Pie
eating contest!
My son is a master pancake flipper |
2. Blueberry pancake breakfast on Sat &
Sun. We serve 4,000 hungry folks. My family has been
working the breakfast for years, so come on it and I’ll take a break to chat.
Gypsy Lady and her wares |
3. Medieval Village & Renaissance Faire. Montrose
is Scottish for “mountain of roses”. In this hilly farming
community, many wild roses grow around fields and in ditches. Working
with the knowledge of our Scottish heritage and members from the greater
Renaissance Festival folk from the Shiabruck Medieval Village, we’ve put
together an amazing village and faire. Stop by
and
meet my special friends, Gypsy and Hagrid. Gypsy made the original
necklace Mike McAlister wears in Lonely Soul.
4. The awesome parade.
5. Farmers Market. The best food to put into
your body is wholesome home grown! You simply must get one of Amy’s fruit
breads!!!
6. Flea Market and craft show. I lose myself
in there every year; the boys have to lure me out with chocolate.
7. Softball, 5-mile road race and horseshoes. Great
opportunities to see some shirtless men! Did I just write that?
8. Mud Drag & Mud Bog for those who still enjoy
playing in the mud.
9. The golf scramble is fun and works up an appetite.
10. Demolition Derby. A great way to
take out aggression.
11. The Karaoke contest
with a $500 prize. No… you will never hear me. I’d scare everyone away.
12. Wine & Cheese Tasting is a favorite of my coffee club
gal pals.
13. Classic Car Show.
Throughout the town and township, there are
a ton of rummage sales offering wonderful treasures. I hope many of you take a break from your
busy schedule and visit. If I’m
available, I’ll let you know where the best goodies are. Hugs!
