Brette: Intentions Gone Astray (Conundrums of the Misses
Culpepper Book 3)He thought his adventures were over…
A rogue reluctantly turned rector, Alexander Hawksworth, prefers soirées to
sermons and parties to prayers. Though impoverished, he seizes every
opportunity to escape parish duties, preferring to hob nob with London’s
finest–especially after the precocious and petite Brette Culpepper arrives in
Town. Alex secretly fantasizing about claiming the breathtaking beauty as his very
own, and when he unexpectedly inherits an earldom, he’s determined to make her
his countess… Until he’s accused of murdering the previous earl.
Then she burst headlong into his life…
New to Society, Brette adores the whirlwind social scene, the stream of
invitations… the slightly-sensual verbal sparring with the devilishly
attractive, much too witty, and oh so unsuitable Mr. Hawksworth. But her
fairytale existence crashes to a halt when rumors circulate she’s a peer’s
illegitimate granddaughter. Even though he’s left her a tidy inheritance,
formerly hospitable doors slam in her face as a newly appointed guardian
emerges, intent on stealing her wealth and forcing her to wed an elderly despot.
Time is against them as Alex struggles to clear his name and deliver the woman
he loves from an unthinkable fate.Genre Historical RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RBuy Brette: Intentions Gone Astray (Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper Book

Is It True: @AuthorKristina Billionaire Cowboys #contemporary #RLFblog
Play Is It True with today’s guest Kristina Knight, author
of The Billionaire Cowboys Trilogy, a Contemporary Romance. This is a game in
which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as
much (or as little) as they choose.First, tell us about
your book.Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RThe Billionaire Cowboys trilogy by best-selling author
Kristina Knight kicks off with a seductive story of long-simmering feelings and
hot Vegas nights.What the Bachelor
GetsWhen Vegas Nightly names local property developer Gage
Reeves as its sexiest bachelor, he’s barraged with a stream of showgirls, local
socialites, and entertainers who all expect something from him. But all Gage
wants is to make a success of his new luxury shopping development.Enter Callie Holliday. Callie dreams of having the hottest
day spa in Vegas, but she’s saddled with a bad location and an account balance
full of zeroes. When she walks into a last-chance meeting with an angel
investor and finds herself face to face with Gage, the childhood friend on whom
she had a huge crush, she’s not sure his reputation is the right match for her
business. But then he offers her a storefront in his new high-end retail
complex, and she has to admit it’s a thoroughly tempting proposition. But
feelings she thought were long buried threaten to turn their deal from strictly
professional to decidedly personal.It’s risky business gambling on love.What the Heiress
WantsDenver publishing heiress Miranda Clayton craves more from
life than society parties and shopping sprees, but her tycoon father refuses to
take her seriously. Her solution? Beat him at his own game by going to work for
his top competitor, Connor Reeves, in Las Vegas.Connor isn’t fooled by Miranda’s new plan for a second. He
knows exactly who she is; what he doesn’t know is why she’s pulling him into
her games. After their first meeting, Connor knows what he wants – Miranda in
his bed! But the more he’s around his new vice president, the more he wants
something deeper than a short-term fling. The question is does the lady want
Connor – or his business?What the Gambler
RisksTwenty-something ice queen Sabrina Smith enjoys the fame and
fortune she’s found writing self-help books for a largely female audience. Her
readers hang on every word of how the Vegas Virgin – an unflattering and
inaccurate moniker given to her by a local shock jock – juggles dating,
working, and friendships in Sin City.And that’s why Jase Reeves spells trouble.Jase knows Sabrina’s secret – that she’s not nearly as cold
as she would like people to think – and he’s through keeping it. He didn’t
intend to have a one-night stand with the Vegas Virgin, but now he can’t get
her out of his head. And he can’t keep living this lie.With Jase back at the tables in Vegas, Sabrina has one goal:
stay away from the handsome gambler before he melts her career – and her heart.Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to

Jennifer writes books about faeries, orcs and elves. Zombies too. She grew up in the wilds of Western Massachusetts and had read every book in the local library by age twelve. (It was a small library). An early love of mythology and folklore led to her epic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Parthalan, and her day job as a cubicle monkey helped shape her urban fantasy, Copper Girl. When she’s not writing about things that go bump in the night (and sometimes during the day) she’s working on her MFA in Creative Nonfiction.Website http://authorjenniferallisprovost.com/
