Whisper Lake: Savage Brothers Books

Just when Chrissy Caldwell thought things couldn’t get any worse, life showed up and said, “Hold my beer.” The past year had been a living nightmare, one she couldn’t seem to wake up from. Thanks to her husband skipping town with his twenty-one-year-old assistant and defaulting on the mortgage, Chrissy was moving back into her great-aunt’s dilapidated ranch-style home with her four kids—which was not in her life plan but she was trying to make the best of it. So when her mysterious neighbor, who according to her friends was a Zaddy, offered to help with renovations she figured, why not? What’s the worst that could happen? Ford Savage was used to life throwing him curve balls. He just never would’ve expected one to come at him in the form of a hot blonde who was a single mom to four kids. After raising twin girls as a single father and spending his days on construction sites, Ford was ready to live out his early retirement on his terms, which included solitude and fishing. So he ditched the big city, moved to a town the size of a postage stamp, and bought a house in the middle of nowhere without a neighbor in sight. His recluse plans hit a snag when the abandoned house down the road was suddenly inhabited by a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his childhood crush and her four kids. The best thing to do would be to keep his distance. His head knew that, he just wasn’t sure his heart or hormones got the memo. Author’s Note: Stay With You is a small-town, dual single-parent, next door neighbor, age gap romance. This tale of love features a type-A heroine who is down on her luck and a tattooed hero who is done being a white knight. Rounding out this fairytale cast is not one but two rescue dogs, a total of six children (can you say Brady Bunch?), supportive AKA meddling family and friends, and geriatric cupids who have their arrows cocked and ready to shoot. Caution: this book may restore your faith in love and humanity. Read at your own risk.

Laura Lopez knew exactly what she wanted in life. The American dream: a husband, two kids (at least), and a white picket fence. She handled the white picket fence on her own; the hubby and kiddos were proving to be more difficult. The problem was that the alpha-holes she attracted were not marriage material. At thirty-five, the curvy beauty was done wasting her time with men who weren’t ready or willing to make a commitment. Nothing was going to distract her from building the life she wanted. Not even a six-foot-four, tattooed, retired Navy SEAL with dimples so deep she wanted to lick chocolate out of them. Knox Savage knew exactly what he wanted in life. The freedom to live on his terms—no commitments, no responsibilities, no worries for the rest of his days. He was ready to live out his best Hakuna Matata life. After serving his country for twenty years, the retired Navy SEAL was footloose and fancy-free. He wanted to travel and reconnect with family. One of his first stops was to spend the summer visiting his brother and cousin. Three months in Whisper Lake, and then he’d be on to his next adventure. Nothing was going to derail his plans. Not even a stunning, smart, sarcastic Sofia Vergara look-alike who made him want things he’d never wanted before. Author’s Note: Had to Be You is a lust-at-first-sight, small town, secret expirationship romance. This tale of happily ever after follows two headstrong, stubborn thirty-somethings who both think they have their lives figured out. Spoiler alert: they don’t. Their road to HEA is windy and filled with a late-night cat rescue, sperm bank date, supportive and meddling friends and family, three geriatric mafiosa matchmakers, a stolen car, and much, much more.

Kennedy Dawes knew her perfect partner was out there…but she was beginning to wonder if he was playing hide and seek in camouflage in the woods because she sure as hell couldn’t find him. After years of being signed up to every matchmaking site known to man, speed dating, getting set up by well-meaning (if somewhat delusional) friends and family, and even applying for the reality TV show Fairytale Love to find her prince charming, she was starting to lose hope. On the advice of her therapist, she’d written down—in excruciating detail—everything she was looking for in an attempt to manifest her Mr. Right. There was just one problem—she couldn’t get Mr. Wrong out of her mind. Sebastian Savage had one true love…tattooing. Unfortunately, he’d lost that love six months ago and wasn’t sure he’d ever get it back. After waking up in the hospital after a car crash he couldn’t remember, Seb was told by doctors he had a long road to recovery in front of him, which included surgery and physical therapy. Even then, there was a chance his nerve damage would be permanent. That was a life sentence for Seb. Being a tattoo artist wasn’t just a job, a career, or even a passion; it was his life . The only thing that had ever mattered to him was putting ink to skin. He needed it more than oxygen. Or at least he had until his heart started beating again when he looked into blue eyes that were a beacon in the storm of his life. There was just one problem: He wasn’t the man she deserved, and he’d be damned if he let her settle. Author’s Note: Crashing Into You is a love-at-first-sight, opposites attract, don’t-want-to-want-you, best friend’s brother-in-law, small-town, steamy romance. This journey to happily-ever-after is the tale of a damaged tattooed MC, a type-A hopeless romantic FMC, a gassy rescue dog, a trio of senior citizen cupids, and a crotch-dampening meet-cute. There is off-the-charts chemistry, I Love Lucy-esque slapstick comedy, sugary-sweet swooniness, sweat-inducing steaminess, and, of course, a heartwarming HEA.

Keaton Savage will do anything for his family—even star in a reality TV dating show. After spending a little bit too much time with his friend Jack, Jack Daniel’s, that is, at his cousin’s wedding, Keaton wakes up to the news that “he’s the next contestant on Fairytale Love ” (read: The Price is Right announcer voice). Imagine his surprise, since he has no memory of agreeing to be on the dating show. His investigation into the mystery of this fake news begins with unanswered texts to his niece, who happens to be a PA on said show, and ends with him crashing his family's Sunday breakfast, where he finds the aforementioned niece looking sheepish and avoiding eye contact. After a quick Q&A, it is revealed that she is the “source” who leaked the casting news in an attempt to impress her boss, the producer of the show. Does he want to go on the show? No. Is it a sacrifice he’s willing to make to help his niece? Apparently so. When his selfless act brings him face to face with the sexy redhead who ghosted him five years earlier and has haunted his dreams ever since, he’s not sure if it’s a no-good-deed-goes-unpunished situation or fate giving him a second chance at real love. Avery Stone will do anything to have the family she didn’t have growing up—even marry a man she doesn’t love. Or at least that was the plan until she woke up on her wedding day with feet so cold she might as well name them Elsa…from Frozen …get it? After asking her deceased Gammy for a ‘sign’ that she is doing the right thing, she receives a news alert on her phone announcing the newest cast member of Fairytale Love , who just happens to be the man she shared the best two weeks of her life with five years earlier and who she’s loved and pined after ever since. Avery knows she can’t walk down the aisle and promise her life to another man. Seeing his photo and feeling all the feels. Armed with that decision, she goes to her fiancé’s room to call things off, which would have been awkward enough even if she hadn’t found him in bed with their nanny. Although full disclosure, it did make her announcement easier. With her life at loose ends, she gets another ‘sign’ in the form of a staffing emergency and decides to go back to the scene of the crime (the crime being the place where she spent the best two weeks of her life with a man who is going on a reality dating show to find love) to handle it and get a fresh start. Or maybe a do-over. Author's Note: Because of You is a runaway bride, second chance, single mom, small-town, steamy romance. This HEA is the tale of a sexy tattooed MMA champion hero, a stunning redhead heroine who is allergic to breaking the rules, a precocious four-year-old, a boss bitch bestie, a rescue chihuahua named Mojo, and meddling friends and family, which includes, but is not limited to, three senior citizen cupids. The love story is filled to the brim with heart, packed with humor, and topped off with NSFW spice-level heat.
