My Lennox Valley lovelies!

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet because I am living that EDITING LIFE and need all my brains and time to get that wrapped so I can get Proud Mary to my editor this weekend...

So this newsletter will be more visual than anything. But that's perfect, because it's all about the aesthetic. And pals, the vibes are ON POINT, if I do say so myself.

Five vertical strips of photos: a snowy house with a Santa inflatable, a hand drawing on a tablet, a silhouetted firefighter in front of flames in the dark, a tattoo machine inking skin, and a cluster of Christmas lawn ornaments at night. Image is decorated at corners with green and red ribbon and holly graphics. White title text "Proud Mary" situated at top covering the middle image and cursive text across middle third reads "the vibes" — Christmas mayhem, tattoos, and FIRE!!

Proud Mary - The vibes: image features three photos in strips that run horizontally. Top image is firefighter gear on hooks, middle is snowy town center at night, and bottom is black and white close up shot of man with mustache resting his face on crossed arms. Image is decorated at corners with green and red ribbon and holly graphics. White cursive text across middle third reads "the vibes" and White title text "Proud Mary" situated at top left covering the wall beside the firefighter coats. — Firefighting, snowy small town, and mustache rides, oh my!

light pink background with rasberry red cursive text "the vibes" above two film strips running on diagonal angles behind torso of male firefighter in turnout gear holding a coat. Images in film strips are: firefighter coats hanging on hooks, man with mustache in front of firefighter gear, woman with dark hair and sunglasses, snowy trees, a tattoo in progress, a woman with dark hair resting her face in her hands and looking disappointed/grumpy, a heavily decorated lawn covered in Christmas lights and lawn ornaments. — Oh, how far I've come in my relationship to sexy guys in suspenders 😂

Five vertical strips of photos: A couple's feet in the snow, a man's hands on a curvy woman's bare back, a stack of fire hoses, a curvy woman in bra & underwear, and firefighter boots with gear on a truck. Image is decorated at corners with green and red ribbon and holly graphics. White title text "Proud Mary" situated at top right of image and cursive text across middle third reads "the vibes" — Curvy FMC, snowed in trope, and hose puns? COME ON!

Brit Benson: The Love You Fight For

cover of The Love You Fight For by Brit Benson (a Next Life Novel) — [Cover of The Love You Fight For by Brit Benson - a Next Life Novel]

Blurb:

The mask she wears for the world is flawless.
But I want the mess that she hides underneath.

Samantha Harper is untouchable.

She’s the closest thing we have to royalty in my small town.
Daughter of a senator.
Richer than sin.
Classy, elegant, and
Ice cold.

She’s my polar opposite.
And unfortunately,
She’s exactly my type.

Too bad royalty doesn’t fraternize with peasants.

Until one night,
Samantha Harper finds herself at my mercy,
and the temptation to dirty up her flawless facade is too great.

When her perfect mask slips,
It’s not an ice princess I find beneath,
But a warrior in war-torn armor.
A snake in queen’s clothing.

All it takes is one night, and I’m determined.
She will never have to fight another battle alone.

***

The Love You Fight For is the third book in the Next Life world.
It has a guaranteed HEA.
While The Love You Fight For can be read as a standalone, it is recommended that you first read the Next Life duet to fully appreciate the story.

She's a cowgirl with a broken heart. He's a playboy... and her brother's best friend.

When Ashton Tanner returns home to heal her broken heart, she expects three things: to spend time with her brother, to ride her horse, and to hang out with her brother’s best friends—her childhood friends. What she doesn’t expect is for her teenage crush on Brooks Hart to come back in full force the moment she steps through the door.

Brooks is a notorious playboy, taking no names and breaking every heart. He’s kept his crush on his best friend’s little sister a secret for years, but now she’s home—grown, sassy, and a knockout in boots—staying away is harder than ever.

Brooks and Ashton have always been close, but two years apart have been a steady drip of gasoline and Ashton’s return struck the match. He’s ready to change his playboy ways, and she’s tired of running from the fire. It’s time to go all in, because home is where the heart is… and Ashton’s heart has always belonged to Brooks.

A HART TO CALL HOME is a childhood friends-to-lovers romance about spreading your wings and learning where your heart is… and that maybe it’s belonged to Brooks Hart all along. This is an open-door romance with explicit language and descriptions, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.
