Two new romances available for preorder by Lexi Post!

 Whether you like historical romance or contemporary cowboy romance, I've got a romance story for you!

Disarming the Baron (Courting a Curious Lady: Book 3) is available for preorder at only 99¢!

She’s his mistress of convenience, which is proving quite inconvenient.

Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA 

Mademoiselle Lissette Fontaine knows she doesn’t belong among the ton, yet finds herself fast friends with many people of that status, specifically those in the Belinda School for Curious Ladies. As much as she enjoys her new friends, and the easy life of being a lady as opposed to her days of stealing food to survive, she will do anything to avoid marrying a peer, even enlist the help of her old friend Mr. Anthony Taylour to find a wealthy middle-class spouse.

Lord Anthony Taylour, the Baron of Bellamore, is rarely what he appears because as a fourth son, he knows he’s expendable. So he uses his fortune to make the world a better place whether it’s as a Bow Street Runner, a soldier against Napoleon, or a detective for his friends among the aristocracy. Needing a weapons expert, he visits the Belinda School for Curious Ladies and is pleased to rekindle his friendship with Lissa, but he’s cautious about teaming-up with her once again. After all, when last they traipsed about France, she was younger and always dressed as a man.

It doesn’t take long to accept Lissa is a critical asset in his current investigation, so when she manipulates him into posing as his mistress at a secret house party he needs to attend, he’s determined to keep her safe. However, it’s impossible to keep her innocent, and his feelings for her begin to change. Unfortunately, the lord they’re investigating is far more dangerous than Anthony realized. He can think of only one way to save Lissa.

But if he tells her the truth, he may lose her forever.

Releasing January 9th!

Hard a a Rock Cowboy (Rocky Road Ranch: Book 2) is available for preorder!

Brody Dunn just has to convince a city girl to sell her land to his family and he’s off to a new career. How hard can that be?

Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA

Brody Dunn is anxious to start his training as a wildlife manager and begin his new career away from Rocky Road Ranch. His father has agreed to release him from his promise to work on the ranch if he can convince the neighbors to sell their land. That extra land is the safety net the Rocky Road needs in order to survive as a cattle ranch if the new dude ranch project fails. Brody knows it will be difficult to get the elderly couple to sell land they’ve owned for over fifty years. So when he discovers their granddaughter has inherited, and better yet, has lived in the city her entire life never knowing the land existed, he’s sure it will be easy getting her to sell.

Hannah Kingsley is shocked yet thrilled to discover she owns land in Four Peaks. Though it’s nothing but desert and an old casita, it’s all hers. Since she’s already alone in the city, now that her grandparents are gone, moving out to Four Peaks wouldn’t be any lonelier. Besides, Brody seems knowledgeable, he’s handsome, and as it turns out, he’s her neighbor. What could be better?

It doesn’t take long for her to realize Brody wants her to sell right away, especially when he shows her ranch life, complete with chores, and how dangerous living in the desert can be. Yet the more she learns about her property, the town, and him, the more she knows this is the place for her. And just maybe, Brody’s the man for her as well. But can she get him to see what’s right in front of his nose, or will his one-track mind be his downfall?

Have a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!

         Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        Merry Christmas! I hope you get to spend the holiday doing what you want with who you want—visiting with family and friends or just having a quiet day at home.

        That’s what the DH and I are doing—spending a quiet day at home, just relaxing and watching movies (and in my case, writing). We won’t be exchanging gifts (we’re at the age where if we need something, we get it…after careful planning and budgeting, of course, because that’s just the way I am). 

We didn’t put up the tree this year. The DH is not doing very well with his back issues and frankly, I don’t want him climbing up on a ladder to pull things from the attic. I would do it, but I’m afraid of heights…so I just put out the little ceramic tree with the lights and that’s about it. 

        When our son was young, we went all out (I was younger then and had more energy and time…not so much now. I seem to be busier than ever though! Not sure how that happened). The entire house was filled with pine cones and garland and the little ceramic village the DH and I painted. The tree, which we all decorated, was up, and lights were strung outside. It was so much fun doing that, but things change—we get older and come to realize that Christmas is more than just decorating. It’s spending time with the ones you love, whether family or friends or both.

        I used to go all out on entertaining, too, but again, that has changed and I am content to have it be just the DH and me (the dogs, too, of course). And I am grateful! Every day! 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and the very best in 2025!

        Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!

Confessions of a Christmasholic by Joss Wood

What's the best way to find your holiday romance??  

Sutton hates Christmas and shows it by falling down drunk after tripping the electric to the hundreds of lighted decorations on Gus Langston's, AKA Mr. Christmas's, lawn and breaking the reindeer, snowmen, and elves.  This all happens in concert while Gus beats the "effing shite" out of the blow-up Santa with shouts of hatred for Christmas.  

The charming Lake District of England is covered in glistening snow, holiday decorations, and mostly good cheer.

The morning after Sutton and Gus had equally vented their frustrations of the season on his lawn, a massive, out-of-character hangover and embarrassment are partially explained.  

Sutton is out of money and needs a place to stay for a few weeks until she moves on with her OT carrier in London.  Gus is strapped with being the number one "Mr. Christmas" as a widower with four-year old twins and a dog named Pig.  He also owns two businesses, one being the year-round Christmas store.  

Both needing some good cheer, they make a deal to help each other out for the few weeks prior to Christmas.  

With an ear to listen and sort out misgivings, Sutton and Gus do their best to remain solely friends.  The more time they spend together, the closer they become.  A quick fling with no strings attached might just release more tension, so why not try it?

Some unintentional flings turn into love.  Can Sutton and Gus allow this or even admit it?  Can they mesh their lives, or should they simply enjoy the couple of weeks?  I have a vote for this one and hope you enjoy the read to find out the answer!

Happy reading,

The Writing Flows

         Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!

        Well, it was as I suspected. I had a lovely week off for Thanksgiving, but boy, did I pay for it when I went back to the day job. I’m still paying for it! I hate to admit that it’s been a week and I’m still not caught up (at this rate, I’m not sure when I will be) but it’s all good. I love my job. It keeps a roof over my head and food in my belly… 

        And allows me to follow this passion of mine, which is, of course, the writing. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed my week off. I wrote a lot! Of course, it wasn’t enough (never seems to be enough, not when this is what I want to do full time…come on retirement!) but I definitely made a dent. I am more than halfway through The Marshal and Mrs. Morgan (first draft). It usually takes me about a year to write one of my stories, but this one seems to be flowing a little faster. That’s a good thing. I really like my characters and yes, I will admit, that I’ve fallen in love with my hero. And why wouldn’t I? He’s exactly who I’ve written him to be (although I will admit, he has surprised me, doing and saying things I hadn’t expected). I like my heroine, too. She’s spunky and feisty but still kind and if you’ve read my blog before, you know I’m all about that kindness (even when it’s hard to be).  

        And that’s about all for me. I still have more time this morning (it’s Monday, by the way) to see what mischief Devlin and Tresia can get into before I head to the day job. 

        Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!

Christmas Inn Trouble by Brooks Wright

 Cora loves her work as a financial analyst.  She breezes into a town, crunches numbers, and makes the burger and fries chain restaurants pop up.  She leaves town and moves to the next.

Her current location, Starville, Kentucky, happens to be her childhood hometown.  It'll be a nice visit until she is shuttled on to her next work location.

Walking up to the local and very charming Inn, Cora pauses after entering and feels the warmth and cheer of Christmas in every nook of the establishment.  It's like walking into the past.  Everything is warm and glowing with a tasty smell wafting in circles.

That means a burger and fries place is needed.  It will work well in a town with so many friendly faces needing a quick dinner instead of always waiting for a table at the one busy Inn.  

Levi owns, cooks, serves, and hosts the Inn.  He loves his town and loves his Inn.  

When he learns that Cora wants to okay the finances for building the franchise, he's devastated and his friendly demeanor toward her diminishes.

Cora has one issue developing.  Her quaint childhood hometown is so perfect already.  Yet, she wants to be successful in placing the fast-food restaurant.  Oh, yeah, and Levi does have a wonderful charm that she is reticent to destroy.  

With this in mind, Cora agrees to help the town with a Christmas charity.  

The snow, warm lights, decorations, smiling faces on children, and nostalgia soften Cora's one-tract business mind.  Levi allows his heart to grow toward the lovely lady invading his town, hoping for a truce in romance and business.  

The romance and business are intertwined, so can they budget for both?  

'Tis the season for peace and love!

Happy reading,

Dawn
