BLURB:
Miranda “Rand” Coleman has seen the way love
can wreck a person and wants absolutely no part of it. When her granddaddy dies
suddenly, he leaves a clause in his will that has her married in three months or
she loses her inheritance. Unwilling to give up the Double C Ranch, she starts
to set her eyes towards the eligible men in town, with little luck in finding a
man she can stand for a minute let alone a year. Until she sets eyes on the new
veterinarian and enlists the help of her womanizing best friend, Jake, to help.
Jake Hansen is a single guy who likes his women pretty and uncomplicated, with no plans to settle down anytime soon. When he decides to help Rand hook her man, he has no idea the effect watching Rand change would have on him. Especially when she starts letting her gorgeous brown hair down and showing off a body he didn’t even know she had. Before too long, Jake isn’t just lusting after his best friend, he’s feeling downright possessive. But when it comes down to the wire, will he get over his issues and step up to the alter…or lose the only woman he was ever meant to love?

Excerpt:
Rand pulled her hand away from him and he covered his smile
with his hand as she looked surprised by the compliment. “I don’t remember.”
Tandy leaned on the table and the woman’s look was downright
sultry. “Well it looks awesome on you.”
Jake blinked. The girl wasn’t being friendly. She was
flirting...with Rand.
Rand seemed oblivious to Tandy’s interest. “I got it as a
present for my birthday, and was going to take it back, but my granddaddy
couldn’t find the receipt.”
Tandy actually batted her lashes. “Well that would have been
a damn shame.”
Alright, it was funny at first but that was too much. “I’ll
have the chicken enchiladas with two tacos.” Both women turned to stare at him
and he focused all of his attention on Rand, “Honey, what do you want to eat?”
Rand looked back up at Tandy when she answered. “I’ll have a
bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans.”
“Coming right up.” Tandy said. Her smiled faded when her gaze shifted to him, her
expression downright hostile. This time he watched her walk away and turned
back to Rand with wide eyes. “Did you see that?”
“You checking out our waitress?” Rand asked with false
sweetness. It was his turn to be
angry. “No, the glare she sent me.” “Right
because women usually glare at you.” Jake
said very patiently, “Rand honey, I have no interest in that woman and I’m
telling you, I am not her type.” “How
do you know that?” He leaned back in his seat and grinned. “Because it wasn’t
me she was checking out.”

Books are our friends
By Codi Gary
When I moved to Idaho, I must have re-read everything on my
bookshelves at least twice until we moved to Buhl, Idaho and I discovered the
local library. I hadn't made any friends yet, so while I was writing my
fantastic first novel (snort) I discovered the local library. I had never had a
library card before and as I didn't have an ereader yet, I always read physical
books. So, when I started checking out six books at a time, and finishing them
I a week, I became obsessed. YA, romance, suspense...I devoured it all and for
three straight months I was never without a new book. During this time I was
writing very little in that first novel, until one day it hit me; "Why am
I reading other people's work and not finishing my own?"
So, I put my reading obsession on hold and finished that first
fantastic book (snort). After my novella, The Trouble with Sexy was picked up
for publication, I was too busy writing my next book to read. For a year after
that I think I read a total of five books, and it wasn't until I went to RWA
that first year that I remembered how much fun it was to get lost in a story. I
read one and a half books on the plane ride home and ten more that month. What
I've learned is that there has to be a happy medium for writers, because we
were readers first. Books were our friends long before we started writing them,
which is why I created the "book-cation" for those breaks in my
schedule where I can be an obsessive book worm once more. Sure, I still
continue to read books throughout the year, but the book-cation is for
those binge readings, where one book after another gets checked off the TBR
list.
In short, don't ignore your friends.
