Blurb:

More than a year after becoming a loving couple, one phone call threatens Azure and Frank's relationship on the eve of their Valentine's Day wedding.

Frank clams up due to a health concern, keeps it secret, and distances himself from Azure. His bride-to-be deserves better than an ailing husband.

Azure feels the sting of Frank's rejection. No matter how hard she tries, she can't breakthrough his wall of silence. To her, his failure to communicate means one thing. He's called off the wedding.

Will Cupid's arrow strike a nerve? Or—will love conquer all in time for their Valentine's Day vows?

Excerpt:

Valentine's Day Eve…

New Orleans' frosty midday air didn't affect Azure one bit. And her snug-fit jeans, sweater, and short jacket had little to do with the warmth she felt. She strolled with Frank through the French Quarter. The clutch he had on her hand heated her all over. Even though heels gave her five-foot-six inches a boost, she still had to look up into his dark, brown eyes.

He looked at her, his jovial attitude on display. "You're so easy to love, Azure."

Her heart thumped with delight. Here they were, at the caterer's door, a day before their Valentine's Day wedding, ready to confirm the cake choice for their intimate reception. "Let me hear you say the words."

"I…love…you." He leaned down toward her.

His smooth baritone voice wrapped her like silk. Her erratic heartbeat intensified. She trembled when he kissed the soft spot under her ear. "I love you, too, Frank. Imagine where I'd be if you hadn't followed your instincts that night. I might have died in the trunk of my car."

"Either the cosmos had aligned or PlayDate dating service possessed supernatural powers."

"I know."

"When your apparition appeared—" He stopped talking. "I don't want to think about that."

"You found me. That's what matters." Azure resituated her teal-colored, knit beret, fingering shoulder length, chestnut strands of hair from her mouth.

    Feathery wisps of air touched her skin. She scrunched her shoulder, lengthening the time he snuggled her there. His lips transferred to the tip of her nose. Then, his mind-blowing kiss surpassed her expectations.

Blurb:
What better way to spend a cold winter's afternoon than by curling up with a cosy romance? Curling up with three heart-warming romances, of course!

The three contemporary romances in this limited edition boxed set are:

THE APPLE TREE:
A disaffected hospital doctor mistakes a wealthy businessman for a gardener and an unlikely love blossoms. But she has a past she wants to forget and he lives by strong principles of truth which drive them on separate, painful journeys of self-discovery.

WISHFUL THINKING:
A struggling single mother and a pop-icon turned Hollywood star meet in unusual circumstances. Fate drew them together but the intrigue and trappings of stardom threaten to unravel love's ties.

SHOPPING FOR LOVE:
They shop for others out of kindness and naturally fall in love; but he is still raw from his painful divorce and she is his children's teacher. Add to the mix a spiteful ex-wife and scheming ex-boyfriend and love may have too high a price tag.

Genre: Mainstream/Contemporary Romance

Excerpt:

"You think you're pretty clever don't you? Just because I look and feel better than I have in months doesn’t mean I'll start dating again. So, don't get your hopes up."

She got her perfected stubborn look on her face and said, "There's a new restaurant that just opened up down the road. They serve a dozen different soups and sandwiches every day. Let's go there, okay?"

"Kimmy, I know that look. Let's have a nice lunch without you trying to set me up with the waiter."

"The waiter? No. I was thinking the manager."

            "Funny, Kimmy."

Nicked Hearts - A Valentine's Romance

Author: Mickie Sherwood
Genre: Mainstream/Contemporary/Interracial Romance
Buy: RedRosePublishing

Excerpt:

"Like it so far?" He noticed the brief flicker in her eyes.

"I—love it." As they talked softly over the small orchestra warming up for the performance, Nick deftly slid something into her hand under the table. Clearly, it was a tiny box. He gripped her wrist as coercion for her to deposit it on the tabletop.

"Happy Valentine's," he whispered into her ear. His warm breath tickled, fanning the hair there. She gawked at him with liquid brown eyes. "Aren't you going to open it?"

Valentine Special Delivery

Vickie's husband took her dog, emptied their bank account and ran off with his secretary. The only thing he left her with is his car payment and a bad taste in her mouth.

Vickie has a new life that revolves around her derelict car, a struggling new business and a sexy FedEx delivery guy.

After a well-placed kiss, Jake gets a taste of Vickie—and now he can't get enough. After delivering packages all day, he's more than willing to let her unwrap his package.

Nicked Hearts

Mickie Sherwood

Valentine’s Day surgery trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey? OVER HER DEAD BODY!

 Rambunctious runaway K.C. Montreaux—thirtyish and coddled—crashes the men’s room at Bush Intercontinental and straight into Nick Hart. His clear eyes x-ray through her while she hovers with a facetious grin on a lovely caramel face. A ruckus launches her to an empty stall and forces him into defense mode. Drafted actions cloak Nick’s deceit—from the mainland to Maui—as he helps outwit her pursuer.

Will K.C. snuff out their combustible emotions like hushed Haleakala or forgive Nick’s misguided lies?


Dare his nicked heart dream?
