BET THE HOUSE
Willamena Dunn is having a lousy
week. Not only is her baby sister about to marry into the family of Dunn-Right
Preservation’s biggest professional rival, but the historic bungalow of her
dreams has just been bought by the most infuriating (not to mention exceedingly
handsome and notoriously wicked) man to ever hammer a nail in Magnolia Bay,
Knox Loveless.
But when Knox offers her a wager
she can’t refuse, a bet with the coveted bungalow as its prize, Willa is sure
her bad luck might finally be turning around—until Knox surprises her with a
passionate kiss, and suddenly all bets are off.
Could this be just another one of
Knox Loveless’ games, or will two rivals finally surrender to a long-simmering
attraction and declare a truce once and for all?
SWEET HOME CAROLINA
Darcy Vance has sunk every cent she
has into making Mimosa House the best bed and breakfast in Magnolia Bay. But
the key to her success lies in the hands of the Historic Preservation Society
run by the Bloom bitches who are embarrassed about their father’s connection to
the storied house and they have no intention of validating it with a spot on
the society’s registry.
After losing his PGA card, Trent
Mauldin has come home to Magnolia Bay to lick his wounds and has no plans to
stay. Until he falls for Darcy. Things heat up between the two until Trent’s
good intentions to help Darcy go sideways. While Darcy works to save her house,
Trent fights to win her back and keep her in Magnolia Bay for good.

SWEET HOME
CAROLINA
The ancient clock that came with the house chimed the
hour. As I shinnied down the ladder, I ran through the to-do list in my
head—shower at ten, hair appointment at eleven, then back to the grind of
turning Mimosa House into a stellar bed-and-breakfast. My brain counted the
bongs as they reverberated off of the walls of my new lease on life that came
with a seven-figure mortgage. Nine. Ten. Eleven. “Eleven? Shit.”
I stepped
into my good flip-flops by the front door, the ones with hardly any paint on
them, grabbed my purse and keys, and sprinted toward the Jeep.
“Yankee.”
The hiss came from my lovely neighbor, Mr. Hunsucker, who was somewhere between
five and a hundred and five years old and wasn’t at all happy I was opening a
B&B. He was watering the prize roses he’d accused me of pilfering on more
than one occasion. Okay, so when I thought no one was looking, I’d pulled a
spent blossom off, just to smell it, which made me a flower thief and a Yankee.
“Good
morning, Mr. Hunsucker,” I called and then ducked into the Jeep before the
spray drenched my windshield. Missed me.
Looking up
at him in my rearview mirror, he only held up his middle finger a few seconds
this time. A new record. Yep, I was definitely growing on him.
Author bio
and links
Kim Boykin is a women's fiction author with a sassy
Southern streak. She is the author of The Wisdom of Hair, Steal Me, Cowboy, and
Palmetto Moon (Summer 2014.) While her heart is always in South Carolina, she
lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, 3 dogs, and 126 rose
bushes.
Erika Marks is a women's fiction writer and the author of
LITTLE GALE GUMBO, THE MERMAID COLLECTOR, THE GUEST HOUSE and IT COMES IN WAVES
(July, 2014). On the long and winding road to becoming published, she worked
many different jobs, including carpenter, cake decorator, art director, and
illustrator. But if pressed, she might say it was her brief tenure with a
match-making service in Los Angeles after college that set her on the path to
writing love stories (not that there isn't romance in frosting or power tools!)
A native New Englander, she now makes her home in Charlotte, NC, with her
husband, a native New Orleanian who has taught her to make a wicked gumbo, and
their two little mermaids.
