Here in Canada, as well
as Australia and other commonwealth countries, the day after Christmas is known as ‘Boxing
Day’. The holiday originated with Queen
Victoria in the 1700’s, when the wealthy boxed up gifts to give to the
poor. The servants went home with their
boxes of treats to spend the day with their families, having worked Christmas
day. Those of us who work appreciate having
the day after Christmas to recover or to shop. Until Canada recently adopted 'Black Friday', Boxing Day was traditionally the biggest, busiest sale day of the year.
With that in mind, it seemed
an excellent time to have a BOXING DAY SALE for one of my boxed sets. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Volume
2 contains a not-for-sale bonus novella, and will be reduced from $9.99
to only 99 cents. In Books 4-7 you see each unmarried Mason Brother eventually make his way to the altar. Each book starts with a wedding. Here is a snippet from Book 4, BLAKE'S BRIDE,
setting the scene for Blake and Storm to find their way to HEA.
It was a perfect day for a wedding. The park’s gazebo was decked in yards and
yards of ribbon, while the shiny white posts were adorned with sprays of wild
flowers. Rows of benches next to chairs
borrowed from the café offered guests a spot to sit. Smack in the center of the gazebo, the seven
Mason brothers waited in a straight line.
Storm, alongside her fellow bridesmaid, Amanda, wiped her
sweaty palm on the skirt of her frock and clutched her nosegay tightly. This was her first time being a
bridesmaid. It was also her first time
in such a fancy dress, edged in lace and all, crafted by her own hand.
From her vantage point, Storm watched Henrietta, the bride,
appear on the arm of her long-time friend Percival Bloom. Slowly, the duo made their way across the
park to the gazebo where Braydon Mason, the groom, waited along with the reverend
and the wedding party. Before today, Storm
had never seen the normally confident Braydon Mason look nervous.
As the ceremony got underway, Storm snuck a subtle glance
at Blake Mason, flanked by his brothers.
Laura, the first Mason Bride, had confided that Blake had a secret. Storm could relate to secrets. She had a few of her own. If only her “big” secret was as innocent as
Blake’s. Lots of folks out west couldn’t
read. As a librarian, she was no
stranger to witnessing their struggles, and happy when she was able to help.
Blake’s situation was a bit different, and Storm didn’t
know if she could help him or not, but she had promised Laura she would try.
Learn more about Blake
and the entire Mason clan in this set of four full length sweet and clean
romances for only 99 cents, starting December 26th for a limited few
days.
As the year winds to a close, I’m excited to be part of a new, top secret western historical series coming your way in 2021. Happy Holidays Everyone! See you next year.
