Congratulations to LSF Writers Member Roz Lee on her new release! Here’s a little more about his story:

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲, 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗹𝘆.
With development encroaching on his family’s vineyard, Wade Nightingale has his eye on the property next door. To get it, he’ll have to go through Serenity Granger, the reckless girl he had a crush on all through high school. She’s a grown woman now and determined to save her family legacy from foreclosure. It’s easy to admire her tenacity but impossible to keep his hands off her.
When Serenity Granger was ten years old, Wade Nightingale didn’t know she existed unless she was getting into trouble at his family’s winery, which she’d done more often than she wanted to recall, but now he’s paying attention. When things heat up between them, she has to wonder—could he be the answer to all her grown-up fantasies? Or is he a snake in the vineyard, after the only thing that matters to him—her land?

Congratulations to LSF Writers Member Elizabeth John on her new release! Backstage Butter Brittle is available at https://amzn.to/3nQMqAp and various retailers! Here is a little teaser for it:

Her thirtieth birthday is Anna’s deadline to succeed as a theatrical performer…only six months away. A crucial audition in her hometown puts her into the path of her ex-boyfriend. After only a few minutes together, she realizes she’s missed James. More shocking is that she receives an invitation to help with his family’s summer camp theater program.

Farmer James Tucker can’t believe the woman he once thought he’d marry is back in town, auditioning at the theater next to his ice cream parlor. He hopes for the impossible—that she’ll stay this time. But she wants bright lights, and he leads a simpler life. Can this reunion be their second chance at love?

Congratulations to LSF Writers Member Suzanne Trauth on her new release! What Remains of Love is now available at https://amzn.to/3P0FXyW and at other online retailers. Here’s a little teaser for it:

Kate, stunned to discover the existence of this woman who captivated her father, is determined to unravel the mystery of his past and unearth the truth. After the war had he abandoned passion for honor? Did he really love her mother, or was he compelled to marry her out of his sense of duty? How well did she really know her father? Or her mother? She embarks on a journey to the south of France to reconcile the past and confront her own demons, as well as the legacy of her father’s wartime love affair and the price he paid to live an honorable life. Kate’s life is changed forever…
