Erik Torston is a simple hog farmer, the head of the family after his father and half brother answered a summons to war five years ago. When a new summons comes, he and his friends answer the call, leaving River Bend and the only home they've ever known. Erik is reluctantly forced into the world of soldiers and politics, questioning who he is as he navigates a secret family connection, a scheming Duke, and his attraction to the beautiful Lady Abigail. Circumstance takes him to the Capital, where royal secrets and a war threatens not only everything Erik has ever known, but his life as well. --- Lady Abigail wants nothing more than to go home to raise her uncle's infant daughter Mouse in the warmth of her family home while he grieves the loss of his wife in childbirth. She plans to head home when the army mustering for the King heads for the coast. That army includes Erik Torston, the handsome and somewhat mysterious new recruit. When the Duke arrives to inspect the troops, it starts a series of events that changes the plan for everyone at Berrigan Keep, thrusting Abigail and Mouse into the viper's nest of the royal court, where whispered scandals are currency, and nothing is what it seems... Including Erik Torston. --- Blood of Quartz is an alternate universe fantasy adventure story with hints of magic, secret royalty, and a slow burn love story. It is about finding your way when life turns out differently than you expect, family, and the ties that bind us all. Cover by Ren Tachibana @rentachi - https://www.rentachibanaworks.com/

Gretchen Harper has always been practical. Dependable, solid, predictable. She's never taken risks, and she's especially never bought coffee for gorgeous professional athletes in airports. That is, until she meets her favorite baseball player on the worst day of his career. Being sent to the minor league is just the first of Joshua Malvern's many worries-he's got an injury that won't heal and his entire career and future are on the line. When a beautiful woman offers him coffee, that simple kindness is exactly what he needs to lift him out of his funk. He asks her to join him in first class, not expecting to end up joining her in bed. What starts as a one night stand ends up holding the promise for so much more. And while stepping out of her comfort zone has never been Gretchen's style, for a chance at true love she'll have to decide whether she'll swing for the fences, even if it means striking out.

A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. 🍳 New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad Available In bookstores now! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790665/western-heat-by-caroline-richardson/9781998341375/ Watty's Shortlist - 2021 Cover designed by Nora Inla

Four hapless college roommates decide to hire a cleaning lady. When a beautiful young woman shows up, hilarity ensues. --- It chick lit from a male POV.

(The only feedback I'm looking for on this story will be in the form of praise as it is something I don't actually tale seriously at all lol. )
