Three years ago, JB lost everything on his rise to being a huge star. On his way up, he was stupid enough to make one decision he’ll always regret.
Losing his girl, his biggest supporter, set off a chain reaction. He didn’t know who he was anymore, and music was his only outlet after his heartbreak.
But he only had himself to blame for it. Him and no one else.
But now she’s in his life again as his new PR rep. It’s a surprise, but a good one, and he’s desperate to win her back, no matter what it takes and who he has to fight off to get his girl back.

“Got caught up,” I told him.
“In who?”
My brows lifted. “Dave, did you just make a sexual innuendo? That might be a first. L.A.’s getting to you already.”
“This meeting is important, J. Focus.”
“I’m focused, man. Like, hyper-focused. It’s all good.” I patted him on the shoulder and felt the tension there. The man needed to seriously f***ing chill. He was going to stroke out if he kept this uptight and s**t. I liked Dave as an agent, and I wasn’t about to start looking for a new one just because my current one had zero chill.
We stepped into a large boardroom with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out towards the ocean. The lease must’ve been sky high here to have views like that.
KT, Jett, and Seth were already seated at the table, another rep with them. He wore what I assumed to be an Armani suit in charcoal grey. Unlike Dave, he didn’t look like he’d had the handle of a broomstick shoved up his a** recently. He was totally southern California, totally chill.
Dave could do with a few lessons from him.
“Channing Grey,” the man said as he stood, sticking his hand out to shake. I hated anything too formal, but stuck my hand out anyway. “Your new PR rep will be here in a few. She’s on her way up-”
“Sorry, I’m late!”
Shit. That voice. I’d know it anywhere.
F**k me.

A story of love, second chances, and redemption set within the landscapes of Montana.

Sammy Black Wolf, a Lakota/Irish ranch kid who plays basketball for the University of Montana has only ever dreamed of getting drafted into the NBA.

A chance encounter with Maggie, a music major from Drummond, shows Sammy there’s more to life than chasing a dream. They share immediate chemistry and their relationship evolves and deepens quickly.

Everything is going great…until it isn’t.

A brutal and life-changing attack on Maggie unravels their world and the fallout threatens the pillars of their relationship.

Will two broken souls find their way back?

EXCERPT:

“Zee, If I tell you this, you have to promise not to tell ANYONE, especially Julie,” Sammy requires. He wants to add Maggie to the list, but he already knows Zee understands this unspoken rule.

“I can’t tell Julie? This must be good.” Zee pauses before confirming, “Okay, I won’t tell anyone.”

“So, I went to pick up Pam after the game last night, right?”

“Yeah?”

“And I didn’t feel like going out, so we went back to my place.”

“Yep.”

“And we, you know, did our thing and I fell asleep.”

“I thought you weren’t spending the night with her, just doing the deed?”

“Ugh. We weren’t. She’s been wanting to spend the night, though, and I gave in. I’m such an idiot.”

“Anyway…” Zee prods patiently.

“Yeah. So apparently at about two o’clock in the morning, I roll over, wrap my arms around her and whisper in her ear, ‘I want to make love to you, Maggie.’”

“Shit,” Zee swears quietly.

“No kidding. Shit. Hell. Pick one. Ugh.”

“Wait! If you were asleep, how do you know you said it?”

“Because Pam got out of my bed, grabbed my boot, and threw it at my head.”

“For your sake, I hope she’s a terrible shot!” Zee tries not to laugh.

“No such luck. I have a shiner and a hell of a headache.”

	Southern Chance
	(Southern #1)
	Natasha Madison
	March 17th 2020

Buried secrets never stay hidden in the South.

Kallie
I fell in love with him when I was seven. I scraped my knee, and he helped carry me inside.
Our love story was the talk of the town until a woman told everyone she was pregnant with his baby. The only rational solution was to high tail it out of town and never come back.

My best friend needed a place to hide, and you can’t get much more covert than my family farm, so I came back. For her. It was supposed to be temporary, and I wasn’t supposed to see him, but that’s what happens when you live in a small town where everyone knows each other.

Jacob
Being the sheriff in a small town was never my dream. My father died and my older brother took off, so I had to be the one to look after my mother. I stayed. I fulfilled my duties as a son and I protected my hometown.

My life wasn’t perfect, but I was content. Until I locked eyes with a ghost from my past, Kallie. I thought it was my imagination, it couldn’t be. I loved her most of my life, but now I hated her.

The town gossip mill was going into overdrive. I kept my head down and my mind off of the woman who shattered my heart when she ran away. She didn’t give me a chance to explain, it didn’t matter to her then. I didn’t matter.

A second chance is never promised, but now that mine is right under my nose, I’m not sure I can take it.

Add it to your TBR on Goodreads: https://bit.ly/TwoPrincesTBR

══ B L U R B ══

In 1996, New York City, Los Angeles, and the Mediterranean kingdom of Safina are worlds apart, but bound by love.

When terrorists attack Safina’s royal family, its two princes handle things differently. One wants revenge, and the other wants to save the beautiful country on the Mediterranean’s coast.

New York lawyer, Jay Salas, has avoided his role as Safina’s prince his entire life. But when his cousin, Rhys, goes on an all-out rampage seeking revenge on the terrorists, Jay must navigate the consequences of his cousin’s disastrous actions. Meticulous and determined, Jay devises a plan to stop Rhys from inflicting more harm on their ancestral home. But there’s a wildcard-someone who threatens to tear apart the cousins, someone who owns their hearts.

Cori Bennett didn’t expect to be dragged into the middle of her ex-lover’s family drama. Used as a pawn by all sides, she doesn’t know who to trust. Career-focused and fiercely independent, Cori doesn’t have time to hunt down terrorists for her out-of-control ex, or his sexy cousin. But apparently, the fate of

Safina is at stake.

Only one thing is certain: in order for love to succeed, they’ll have to learn to trust each other and follow their hearts.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

I am a storyteller first and foremost. My writing journey began after my 50th birthday and the lock-down provided me the opportunity to get my stories down. Some stories have been haunting my dreams for over forty years. But when the characters began shouting at me at all hours of the day and night I had to write them down, never having written before. My previous lives have been in advertising, fashion and as a small business owner.

I am clinically dyslexic (diagnosed in college) and have made it my life’s ambition to consume novels, poetry and article to push past those challenges and tell my stories.

A proud native-Californian, I live in Hermosa Beach, CA, a tiny beach-town in South Los Angeles County with my husband of sixteen years, two beautiful kids and two spunky-rescue kitties.

COVER

BLURB

Picture it: Pine Grove, Louisiana. The year is 1986. A clueless divorced man stumbles into a world he never knew existed: aerobics class.

Stacy: I’ve always been the practical one in my friend group. Level-headed. Responsible. Cautious. Until the day HE came into my aerobics class…

Jessie: After I got divorced I decided it was time to get back into shape. I’d let myself get a bit soft over the years I was married. I was lifting weights at the community center when another guy said that aerobic exercise was the key to burning fat. When I saw a sign for Aerobics class, I figured that was the ticket. Until I walked into a room full of women wearing brightly colored tights and leg warmers, bouncing around doing complicated routines.

At first, I thought I was in the wrong place, but when I see my totally bodacious instructor Stacy, I know it was meant to be. I’m knocked right on my butt, and it’s not just because I tripped over my own feet doing the grapevine step. It’s love at first sight for me, but unfortunately, the feeling is not mutual. Yet.

I’m never going to be a rock star heartthrob, but you can bet your Walkman that when the music’s over, Stacy is going to be Jessie’s Girl.

Welcome to the 80s Baby series, a series of fun instalove romances set in the 1980s. Each book is a standalone with a totally tubular happily ever after.

My guardian angel is a devil in disguise.
He hates me. He protects me.

He watches me.

My stalker is obsessed with keeping me safe. He calls me his prettiest debt.

An assassin in the notorious Bullet gang, he uses his empire to control my life. Everything I know is a lie.

What started as a debt turned into something more. What started as regret turned into obsession.

Ambition is his muse and I am his conscience. Our past may bind us together, but his enemies will tear us apart.

He hates me. He protects me.

And I think I love him.

COVER

BLURB

RYLAND
I planned to avoid Sycamore Mountain for a lot longer than ten years, but when my dad dies, I have to go back. Hammond Whiskey Distillery isn’t the only thing waiting for me in my hometown.

Magnolia’s the girl I always wanted and could never have because she’s my sister’s best friend and too young for me. Now, she’s all grown up and even more captivating than I remember. The fire in her eyes tells me I have a lot of work ahead of me to make her mine.

I hope I’m not too late and have enough time to settle in and get through the annual Earth Day Fair. Her devotion to my family’s distillery is humbling. I should hand it over to her; maybe I will after her last name is Hammond. She thinks I’m not going to stay, but this time I’m not running. I’ll get her in my arms, in my life, permanently…after the rain.

MAGNOLIA
Pining for a man who I never thought would come home has left me bitter and sad, no matter how much I try and hold onto the sunshine. I don’t know why he’s stayed away so long, but I can only hope it’s not because of me.

I’ve given so many years to Hammond Whiskey Distillery trying to feel closer to Ryland, but time still passes and I’m still alone. No one was prepared for Mr. Hammond’s death, least of all me. It’s the only reason Ryland comes back to Sycamore Mountain, but who is to say he’ll stay?

Seeing him again reminds me that pieces of my heart are still jagged even though Harmony, my best friend and Ryland’s sister, tried to help me smooth them out over the years. Working together gives me hope I’m not sure I can trust. Maybe a little rain will wash away the past. When the clouds part, I don’t know what path I’ll be on, but Ryland will know he’s not the only one who has changed.

If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Ryland in Finding Luck Again (Get Lucky Series).

The MAN OF THE MONTH CLUB is a steamy small-town collection featuring a new hottie (or two!) every month. In 2022, escape to Sycamore Mountain, North Carolina and celebrate ALL the holidays with your favorite group of romance authors and their delicious mountain men. Can’t wait to see you there!
