    About the Book

    Title Play It Again, Dan
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author Tess Delacour
    Book heat level: R
    Of all the pubs in all the world, he had to walk
    into hers …
    The moment Detective Daniel Murphy waltzes into
    The Dubliner Irish Pub, he knows it is going to be a good night. Music, beer,
    and sex are the three best reasons for living in his opinion. The first two
    were satisfied upon entry and the third looks promising if the singer on the
    stage is cooperative. Little does he know that the woman he’s about to meet,
    the very one he’s been admiring, will change his life forever. She’s picked up
    a nasty stalker and Dan is the cop assigned to her case. Lucky him.
    Assistant District Attorney Kate Shaw’s first
    encounter with Detective Murphy consists of him ogling her backside and bossing
    her around. Not a stellar start. She’s carrying a boatload of childhood baggage
    from a youth spent in foster care and believes she is unable to make an
    emotional connection with the opposite sex. Men are more trouble than they’re
    worth and life with her music, work, and cat are plenty to satisfy.
    They attempt to work together to nail Kate’s
    stalker but the bad guy has other ideas. Can Dan protect Kate from the threat
    and convince her they are for keeps? He’s a man who gets what he wants. In this
    case that’s the bad guy as well as the girl.

    Small Town Romance Sizzles @Nancy_Corrigan #RLFblog #Romance

    A true romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced there’s
    a knight in shining armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find damsels in
    distress in her stories. She adores pairing alpha heroes with women strong enough
    to match them and bring them to their knees. She also enjoys flipping the traditional
    roles in romances because her motto is—love and people should never be forced to
    conform to anyone’s norm.
    She holds a degree in chemistry and has worked in research but
    now focuses on ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect outlet for her as
    she’s the first to admit she has some OCD tendencies. It carries over into her writing
    life too. While engrossed in a novel, she has a habit of forgetting to eat and sleep.
    Fortunately, she’s married to her own knight in shining armor who understands her
    oddities and loves her anyway. They reside in Pennsylvania with their three children,
    dog, snake and guinea pigs. Her other interests include tattoos, animals, classic
    cars and all things spooky and sexy.

    Sander’s Valley, 1
    Young lovers, Kyle and Ronnie, had the world ahead of them at
    seventeen. Stubbornness, misunderstanding and a mother’s influence forced them to
    forge their own paths. A decade later, neither can find love.
    Ronnie always thought it was easier to move on than deal with
    the pain and hurt of past mistakes. She made plenty of them, but so did Kyle and
    her parents. Kyle knows the moment he touches Ronnie that he still loves her. He
    won’t repeat the past and let her leave him a second time.
    It takes a tragedy and a secret to reunite them, but their passion
    returns in a rush along with regret and guilt. To have love, they’ll have to overcome
    their issues—before her mother’s sin takes Ronnie away, once and for all.

    Sander’s Valley, 2
    Wyn Sander is surprised when his brother Kyle asks him to be
    best man at his wedding. Wyn’s even more shocked to learn the woman who later walks
    into his garage is Ronnie’s half-sister, Iona. He’s instantly attracted to her.
    She’s sophisticated, beautiful, and confident. At least she is until Wyn stands
    up. She flinches and a look of terror passes over her face. It bothers him to see.
    Luckily, desire replaces it, but it doesn’t stop Wyn’s curiosity. For the first
    time in his life, he wants to find out what made Iona fearful and fix it.
    Iona can’t believe her luck. The man she lusts after is her new
    sister’s soon to be brother-in-law. The kiss they share shatters her, but her attempt
    to stop any involvement with him ends up with her agreeing to three dates. She decides
    Wyn is unlike any man she’s ever known, and it’s unfortunate she can’t enjoy him.
    She isn’t in the market for a boyfriend. All she wants is sex. The only problem
    is—she doesn’t think Wyn sees things her way.

    About the Author

    Lisa Haman lives in the suburbs of Atlanta with her wonderful
    husband, two beautiful children, and two cats, O.C. and Koko. Koko loves to help
    her to write on occasion by sitting on the keyboard of her laptop. Lisa plays electric
    bass, aka Kitty Blue, with the praise band at her church. Although she doesn’t design
    her own patterns, Lisa creates beautiful pictures with counted cross stitch, which
    more often than not go to family and friends. Lisa’s interest in the paranormal
    fuels her imagination. She likes to scare herself silly with reality ghost series
    on television. She likes to write wherever her imagination takes her, but focuses
    on young adult fiction. She also is working on her first paranormal series for young
    adults yet to be titled. Her first novella, Fat Farm, is a work of speculative fiction,
    takes us on a journey where beauty is important and being overweight sends you off
    to a fat farm, where you may or may not return. Lisa’s favorite quote is from Robert
    Frost. “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by,
    and that has made all the difference.” Lisa takes the road less traveled in
    her stories.
