About Under the Desert Stars: A Red Mountain Western Romance:

A Sweet , Clean Christian Western Historical Romance story set in the Arizona desert foothills of Red Mountain at the end of the 1800s that will touch your heart!

Sarah has never known any life but one in the Arizona desert, where she has grown up with her friends Jesse and Gerrard. They have been more or less equals, but things are beginning to change…

The friends are growing up and starting to notice each other in new ways, and it’s complicating the easy friendship they once had. The boys quarrel frequently now, and it’s a mystery to Sarah.

Anyway, she has enough to do just trying to sort out her own feelings. Her father is a pastor, and his teachings figure heavily in Sarah’s thinking, but she’s learning that she does not always agree with him. This comes to the fore when he makes plans for her future that she just can’t make peace with.

She often turns to the stars in the wide night sky for solace, and this is never truer than when she is trying to tame her heart to do her father’s bidding, as she knows good Christian daughters must. But the weight of betrayal, the threat of a shattering loss, and a heart as wild as those desert stars combine, and Sarah must choose.

Will she bow her head, and her heart, and do as she is bid? Is she strong enough to weather the journey ahead? Can she come to understand God’s plan for her?

Is her father’s love strong enough to withstand the choices she must make?

★★★★★ “Engaging, dramatic, a little sassy, and very entertaining” 

Enemies to Lovers, Billionaire, Forced Proximity, Grumpy-Sunshine Christmas Romance from Award-winning Author Mollie Mathews

Will Lily and Leonardo end up giving their hearts to the wrong person?

After a devastating job loss, family therapist Lily Rose is feeling defeated, low on funds, and facing an uncertain future.

With its blend of classic romance tropes like Enemies to Lovers, Billionaire Romance, and Forced Proximity, Forever and Always delivers a holiday romance brimming with humor, redemption, and undeniable chemistry.

About A Parker Family Holiday Box Set:

Four Parker Family books for your reading pleasure!

Bad Boy Bachelor Thanksgiving
There’s only one thing I want spread out on my Thanksgiving table this year, and it’s not a turkey. It’s my new hire.
My assistants keep quitting, and apparently I’m the problem. Surely not.
I just haven’t found the right one. Until her.
And of all places to find her—a pumpkin farm.
There’s no way she’s cut out to work in my world, but I find myself offering her the job anyway.
Maybe it’s because she’s desperate to save her family farm.
No, it’s because I want her in my bed.
Mixing business and pleasure is a terrible idea, but this woman seems to be worth my downfall.
She’s ballsy, beautiful, and gets sh*t done.
Unfortunately for me, she’s also great at resisting what I know we both want.
It’s all business with her until I can’t think straight.
This woman is putting the bad in my big bad Thanksgiving Day parade.
She just doesn’t know how good it’s about to get.

Desperate for You
You just can’t make these things up…
Life has been a rollercoaster through a forest filled with dream-eating squirrels who are hot on my tail.
Okay, it’s not that bad, but it feels like it is at times.
I’m a single mom to my sister’s little girl, and I found out a year ago that Hollywood is making a movie from one of my books.
It would be great news except they failed to tell me they were making the film.
To top it all off, I’m falling for a smirking, self-entitled jerk who almost ran into me the other day.
He’s busy flirting with the single moms at the school play and pretending to be God’s gift to women.
Why is he stealing my thoughts and my desire to be independent?
I might’ve made a name for myself writing fantasy, but my life is no fairy tale right now. The last thing I need is to be falling in love with him.
Him of ALL people. Ugh.
There has to be more than meets the eye. And the eye is very, very happy.
This single-father lawyer is willing to save my career and what does he want in return?
Me. Nothing much, right?
It would be easier to stay frenemies with this handsome hunk, but I find myself in the one place I hoped I’d never be.
Desperate for him.

Follow You Anywhere
My new boss is so hot, it hurts.
I needed a job, but working as this guy’s personal assistant is out.
I’ve never in my life given into a man the way I want to give into him.
And the fact that he’s a single father scares me.
Where most women are after his wallet, I find myself wanting just him.
But it’s highly inappropriate.
With the holidays approaching I realize something is missing in my life.
A guy. One just like him.
Swoony. Strong. Dominant.
But am I enough to push through the baggage of his past?
He’s good with lust, but love requires an act of trust.
And that’s the one thing he can’t imagine doing again.
Not until me.

Fall for Me Again
Love isn’t something I deserve. Not after everything I’ve done.
None of the women in my life were there for the right reasons.
Not my wife, who I married for convenience and to shut my father up.
And not the beautiful girl from my childhood that I used from time to time when it pleased me to do so.
As CEO of my father’s billion-dollar publishing firm, I’m always looking for great writers, and a new one just showed up.
My high-school fling.
Not that I expected a warm reunion, but this delicious tart is having none of it. No matter what I do to push.
I’m a different man now, and I want a love affair to fulfill my life.
It’s the holiday season, and I have one wish.
To find the right woman for me and my son to spend our lives with.
Crazily enough, she’s looking for a job.
Little does she know, she’s got the job, the ring, the future–if she wants it.
I just need to convince her to fall for me again.

Jasper Gervais acts like he wants me.

But after years of turning me away, he’s going to need to prove it.

About A Knight’s Quest for the Holy Grail:

It’s not always the quest for the cup. Sometimes, it’s the quest for what’s in the cup.

Lance wants nothing more than to be there to fight the dragons for his beloved Princess Alexandra. With his faithful steed by his side, Lance sets out for the magic elixir found only in the Holy Grail. With its strengthening power, facing off an old hag, the bewitching woods, and the strange ogre who lives under a bridge should be easy.

But when it comes to Alexandra’s dragons, things aren’t quite what they all seem to be.

Will Lance’s gift be enough — or will his princess require something even more powerful to sustain her?

Pull up a cup of your favorite “elixir” and enjoy this sweet and snarky satire story from C. S. Johnson, where the dragons are real, even if they aren’t.

FROM THE STORY:

Every knight has a quest, and every quest has its reward.

As a knight-errant, albeit one still in training, with only a year of service behind him, Lance took his duty seriously. But waking up was also a serious business, and that was why, despite the midmorning light flickering over his face, Lance was still half asleep. His faithful steed stepped up to help him, breathing smelly fumes into his face.

“Blah!” Lance sputtered, trying to clear his tongue of the frothy waft. “What have you been eating, Percy?”

His pet’s pungent wake-up call forced Lance to roll over. When the heat of Percy’s breath continued to eat into the shield of his pending sleep, Lance finally gave in to his beast’s rude awakening.

“Alright, I’m getting up. Back from me, you fearsome brute.”

The horse was far from intimidated by Lance’s waking grogginess; instead, he moved closer to his master, nuzzling him with his wet nose.

“You’re lucky you’re the runt of your family,” Lance grumbled, sitting up. He patted down his hair, brushing the chestnut locks out of his eyes, before taking in the full sight of the bouncing creature before him. “Or you would be tied outside, like the ones at my mother’s house.”

Percy gave a small yip, and the nuzzle became a nudge.

“Alright, alright,” Lance muttered, petting his horse’s long, flowing mane playfully. “I know you’re hungry.”

He also knew there was no point in trying to sleep when Percy was hungry—no matter how sleepy he still was.

“I suppose you’re right, anyway, Percy.” Lance yawned and rubbed his hands over his face. “We promised the princess we would save her today, and every knight knows there is nothing more important than completing his quest.”

Lance tossed Percy several treats and stroked his pet affectionately, before he put on his armor for the day. He pulled a breastplate polished to a shine over his head, slipped his feet into protective boots, and even donned a helmet to protect his face from the bright summer sunshine.

Before too long, he stepped outside his quarters. Percy came trotting eagerly after him. With his steed at his side and a grin on his face, Lance set out into the morning to see his princess.

“Princess Alexandra, I am coming for you,” he called out rapturously, eager to see his beloved once more.

FROM THE AUTHOR:

It’s a good romantic tale that hints at the darker sides of depression and mental health, and the troubles we sometimes face when we befriend our demons, with liquid portals, jokes about avocados, strange references to illegal plants, and coffee runs.

What’s not to love?
