In The Market For Love

 

 I'm excited about my new book releasing this week. 

I would never have written story if it wasn't for my amazing readers.

Of all the books I’ve written, and all the characters I’ve created, the one request I received the most often has been for Ransom Kressley’s story.

Years ago, I wrote Capturing Christmas - a story where the hero, Kash, has an evil twin named Ransom. At the very end of the story, a glimmer of hope surfaces for Ransom turning his life around.

Apparently, that glimmer shined brightly enough, my readers wanted to know more.

I never planned to write this story of redemption for Ransom, but I'm so glad I did. I’ll admit, it was a bit of a challenge to wrap my head around how “new” Ransom would act versus “old” Ransom. But Kelly is a sweetheart, so if she loved him, he had to turn into one of the good guys.

He’s never opened his heart to anyone.

She wears her emotions on her sleeve.

When romance blooms, will they realize love is what they both need?

Ransom Kressley possesses the gift of gab, striking good looks, and a blistering disdain for his family’s Idaho ranch where he resides with his father and identical twin brother. His genuine passion is football, but a knee injury shattered his dreams of an NFL career. After years of channeling his frustration and anger toward those who care about him most, Ransom resolves to change. He accepts a job in Portland as a promotions manager for an arena football team and eagerly steps into his new life. As he makes a fresh start, his past continues to plague him, interfering with his chance to get to know the woman who lingers in his thoughts.

Despite her sunny smile and tender spirit, Kelly Truman isn’t in the market for love or even a relationship when she agrees to have lunch with her best friend’s soon-to-be brother-in-law. Familiar only with Ransom Kressley’s notorious reputation, Kelly is determined to keep her guard up around him. However, Ransom proves to be nothing like she expected. Soon, she realizes she cherishes time spent with the man, but fears trusting him with her heart.

When their friendship evolves into something more, will Ransom’s charm and silver tongue split them apart or bind them together?

A sweet romance full of warmth and humor, In the Market for Love is a story of hope, forgiveness, and redemption.
