#NewRelease #MFRWHooks: Would friendship be enough?

Author’s Note

I’m thrilled to have shared this second edition of Harmony’s Embrace with you. The first edition was tied up with my former publisher for the longest time, so once I got the rights back, I created a gorgeous cover (my favorite of the Embracing You books) and re-edited the story until it sang. It’s more suspenseful than the other books, which makes me love it even more.

It’s the final installment in my Embracing You series, and I’m sad to say goodbye to the Haynes siblings and their significant others. Birley, along with Ruby and Dylan, have given me many, many hours of excitement, frustration, and pleasure in creating their happily ever afters. I hope you enjoyed the ride.

Second chances and mistletoe are the last things he needs.

Divorced dad Birley Haynes is too busy raising his children and running his family’s music school to dive headlong into a relationship. Then Harmony Holdich, his high school sweetheart, returns home for Christmas. Despite the threatening incidents around his workplace, she brings light and fun back into his life—and falls into his bed.

After the death of her unfaithful husband, Harmony plans to move across the country and start over. Reuniting with Birley never should’ve happened. His every kiss entices her to stick around long after the holidays are over, but all she can offer him is a fling.

When the threats rise, how will Birley keep his children safe and convince Harmony to give love another shot?

– Book 3 in the steamy, small town, contemporary romance series, Embracing You.

– This 40k word novella is a complete story with a HEA (happily ever after) ending.

– Second edition. Newly revised and edited.

Excerpt

She brushed her hand along her stomach, then grabbed her grinder. A large portion of the sandwich disappeared between her teeth.

He frowned. What was that about? He opened his mouth, then snapped it shut, and clutched his insulated mug of spiced tea. Her back-off vibe radiated around her in unmistakable waves. The delicious scent of cinnamon and cloves carried in the steam that wafted across his face. He sipped the drink and moaned in bliss as the hot liquid warmed him from the inside out.

What had happened to her? While they were waiting in line at the ticket booth, a faraway look had tightened her face and chilled the air around them, which had nothing to do with the temperature. The same mysterious pain now narrowed her eyes and tipped her lips in a frown.

He missed the girl she once was, but what did he know about the woman? So much time had passed. How had he managed to get through his days, the long years, without thinking of her every second?

“A penny for your thoughts?” Harmony licked a dab of brown mustard from her finger.

He rolled his cramping shoulders. “Just thinking about the past, the mistakes I made, the things I wish I could change.” Shit. Where was the superglue for his mouth?

If he had the chance to go back in time and fix things with Harmony before their relationship skidded off the rails, he wouldn’t. He couldn’t, no matter how much he wanted to. He loved Andy and Kay more than anything. Without Susannah, he wouldn’t have his kids.

“I’ve missed you, Harmony.” He reached across the table and grasped her hand. “You’ve been through a tough time, so we should stop flirting. I want to be friends again.” His shaft throbbed in rebellion, the stubborn thing.

She slid her thumb across his knuckles, shooting sparks up his arm.

Was friendship the answer? Would it be enough?
