Waking
Savannah
By Terri-Lynne Defino
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Bitterly,
Connecticut, has been a haven for a woman shattered by painful memories—until a
handsome stranger appears and threatens to awaken the ghosts of her past…
For the last
eleven years, Savannah Callowell has led a peaceful existence in Bitterly. As
the owner of an old farm, she’s mostly kept to herself, not daring to let
anyone get too close. None of her neighbors know that she’s haunted by tragedy,
and she’s done everything possible to escape her ghosts. She thinks she’s
succeeding, until her new foreman shows up—and he’s far from being the college
kid she was expecting…
A worldly
former professor, Adelmo Gallegos has his own reasons for wanting to hide out
on Savvy’s farm, and he isn’t about to share them with anyone, not even his
enticing new boss. Still, Ade can’t help himself, the more time he spends with
Savannah, the more he longs to lure her out of her protective shell. But how
can he convince her that opening her heart is the only way to heal? Especially
since he too has secrets he’s unwilling to share? Only when the past catches up
with them may they be able to free themselves of it…

The Crush
by Heather Heyford
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In the first
of Heather Heyford’s new series, set in Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine
country, the grape isn’t the only source of intoxication…
A
Perfect Pairing
Juniper Hart
has her dream job—or rather, her dream job has her. Under Junie’s management,
the winery her late father started is finally getting noticed. But she’s
lonely, deep in debt, and overwhelmed with work. Even if she had time to date,
the only men she meets are smug, stemware-breaking hotshots like Lieutenant
Manolo Santos, whose good looks and smooth charm don’t half make up for the
sour taste he leaves on Junie’s palate.
After years
as an army engineer and a childhood in a restaurant kitchen, Manolo can see
Junie’s winery is about to go sideways—and he’s bursting with ideas to help.
Except Junie’s far too magnetic for comfort. He left New Jersey to escape
becoming one more Santos man shackled to a captivating woman and a failing
family business. But in the misty hills of Oregon, with a sip of supple pinot
on his tongue, pulling away is the last thing he wants to do…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
A pang of
empathy hit him. “Don’t worry, Buttercup.” He crooked a knuckle under her chin.
“Just wait till I get finished with this place. . . .”
That one
square inch of skin fused them together like a magnet. His feet stepped closer
of their own accord until the toes of his boots bumped hers.
Her lips
relaxed and parted. He scrutinized every inch of her face, seeking fault . . .
justification to quell his growing desire. It was true. Junie wasn’t a
conventional beauty. Her features were a tad too strong, and freckles from
working outside sprinkled her nose. But with no makeup diverting attention from
them, her irises shone like sapphires. Even under the glaring summer sun, her
naked skin was poreless, her cheeks downy as peach fuzz. She was like an
organic fruit, imperfect on the surface but better for you in the ways that
counted.
His body
stiffened with lust. But this was no run-of-the-mill at- traction. An
undercurrent of danger ran through it. His heart pounded like it did the moment
his CO announced, “Operation mobile” unexpectedly and he knew all of his skills
were about to be tested to the limit. At moments like that—when a man was never
closer to death—he never felt more alive.
His
fingers spread to cup her jaw possessively. He tipped her head back, sending
her Ducks cap tumbling backward onto to the ground. Slowly, slowly his head
descended until only inches sepa- rated their lips. His own jaw tightened with
the effort of restraint. It took every ounce of self-control he had not to
throw caution to the wind, rip that baggy white suit right off, and lay her
down in the mid- dle of the vineyard in broad daylight. If she were any other
woman . . .

AUTHOR BIO:
Heather Heyford learned
to walk and talk in Texas, then moved to England (“Y’all want some scones?”).
While in Europe, Heather was forced by her cruel parents to spend Saturdays in
the leopard vinyl backseat of their Peugeot, motoring from one medieval pile to
the next for the lame purpose of “learning something.” What she soon learned
was how to allay the boredom by stashing a Cosmo under the seat. Now a
recovering teacher, Heather writes romance, feeds hardboiled eggs to suburban
foxes, and makes art in the Mid-Atlantic. She is represented by the Nancy Yost
Literary Agency.
