Once And Again Contest – CONTEST NOW CLOSED – WINNER POSTED AT BOTTOM
Jul

2011

Just a quick one today – Would you like to win a digital ARC of the first in my new small town romance Petal, Georgia series? I’ve got a copy of ONCE AND AGAIN here for one winner!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO ENTER: Reply to this post with one of your most anticipated fall reads! I’ll choose a winner today – July 27 – at 5 pm pacific time.

I’m going to be talking about the new series this week so I thought this would be a fun way to kick that off…

This time, he plans to do it with class. Style. And more than a little groveling…

Petal, Georgia, Book 1

Seven years ago, Lily Travis was only too glad to see her hometown of Petal, Georgia, in her rearview mirror. Thanks to her father running off with a twenty-year-old, though, here she is, trying to pick up the pieces. First order of business: meet with her brother’s teacher in a quest to pull his grades out of a downward spiral.

Nathan Murphy is pretty much resigned to his bachelor status—until he looks up from his desk to see an all-grown-up Lily walking into his classroom. Of all the women who turned out to be totally wrong for him, she’s the only one who felt right. At least until his foolish, immature mistake drove her away.

Lily has to admit that time has been more than kind to gorgeous, sexy Nathan. Except there’s no room on her full plate for another complication. Especially with a man who broke her heart once before.

With a little help from his friends, Nathan has a plan to rekindle the flame. It isn’t long before they’re burning up the sheets. Winning her heart? That’s another matter.

Warning: Hot, sexy high school teacher in denim and boots. Strong-willed females abound. Bad words and naughtiness, too. Come on, you know you want to read it.

THE WINNER IS: Lori! Lori, email me and I’ll get the book your way!

    I can’t wait for Never Enough and Once Again. I loved the characters in both books. Can’t wait to read Adrian’s story in Never Enough and get caught up with the other Brown siblings. And I also loved all of the characters in Petal,GA. Especially the Chase brother’s mama. You definitely got the southern part of her character down pat. Loved them. Thank you for writing such wonderful books.
