NEW RELEASE!

Telephone Lines (Romancing the Phone #4)

Poppy Gardner (51) fought her way to success after her deadbeat father took off with her college savings when she was eighteen. Her business is growing, thanks to contracts with a developer and her loyal clients. Unfortunately, a little slip in judgment two years led to one night with the owner of the multimillion-dollar construction company, and he wants more. Accepting his support is tempting when her mom’s terminal cancer takes a turn for the worse, but she’s determined to stand strong.

Finding true love has been the goal of Simon Cortez (46) for ten long years. Focusing on Cortez Homebuilders is a poor substitute for the woman he fell for two years ago. Patience may be a virtue, but how long does he have to excavate the walls around her heart before they crumble? Piece by piece, Simon has to build a foundation of support and friendship Poppy can trust, but will she?

Divorcée Tate Madison (42) wasted fifteen years of her life with a liar and a cheat. Now she’s returned to her hometown to open The Homegrown Café, address her ticking biological clock, and spend time with her family and new friends. Encouraged by her fellow middle-aged book-club buddies, she begs a favor from her younger brother’s best friend—father the child her ex-husband denied her. Complications abound when she discovers she’s attracted to the man who wasn’t supposed to be more than an anonymous profile at the clinic.

Pig farmer Jim Cochon (35) knows all about in vitro fertilization, but he’d rather do things the old-fashioned way with the irresistible redhead he’s wanted to marry since he was five. Too bad she refuses his proposal the morning after their attempt to make a baby. He’ll have to convince her second chances are worth taking when happily-ever-after is at stake.
