Sacramento to Dithercott, England is quite the lifetime move. Cassidy Beeswhistle's family lineage started here in a grand castle along with the Beeswhistle Inn, and her decision is made rather quickly after her father's passing.
Cassidy's profession as a Cordon blue chef had puddled out. Her eleven-year-old daughter didn't fit in at school, so nothing stopped Cassidy from wasting no time in purchasing the Inn unseen to start a happier and more productive life for both.
The Inn held a lot of unimaginable surprises upon arrival. Heart sinking, Cassidy mentally tallied the time and money to fix the Inn. A glimpse of the family's former castle didn't help her mind ease because the castle had been lost two hundred years ago in a hasty gambling bet.
The majority of the English community didn't welcome the American taking over the Inn, yet she found a friend in Angeline and her daughter, Jim, the vicarage, and possibly Ned, the current owner of the castle.
Cassidy rarely made time for relationships with men, but now she had interest in two men. Jim's personality exuded friendship and delight from day one, and it was a chore to get to know Ned.
Take the easy mark or make it another task? Only the heart can figure this riddle out.
With little spare time while opening the Inn, battling a local sabotage on her profession, assuring happiness for her daughter, and figuring men out, it's a pot filled road to the end of Cassidy's to-do list. Romance and love will find its own way to the heart!
Happy reading,

I'm thrilled to reveal the cover of my next release, UNCOVERING THE LORD (Courting a Curious Lady: Book 1). It's not easy to get a couple in a cave in the jungle.
This is a second chance at love story. They first met in STEALING THE DUKE (Marrying a Mabry: Book 1) and Lord Mabry proposed, only to be turned down. Gasp!
Now it's a year and a half later and many things have changed. It's a different time, different continent, and different circumstances. Besides, he no longer loves Lady Elsbeth.
As for Lady Elsbeth, she's on a mission to get back to England to save the Curious Ladies and the school they all attend. Running into Lord Mabry again was not in her plans. His escapades through various countries have changed him significantly. The question is, for better or worse?
This story will be releasing in May.

Gabriel
Wescott has waited years for the woman he loves to return from medical school, only
for her to arrive in Possibility, Texas, with a husband and sister-in-law,
Alexandra Gracen, in tow. Nursing his broken heart, he finds distraction in
teasing the straight-laced, oh-so-proper Doctor Gracen, or Dr. Andi as he likes
to call her. He’s bound and determined to help her adjust to western life.
Doctor
Alexandra Gracen is not sure what to think of the cowboy with the irresistible
grin and unwavering good nature, but he is definitely different from any man
she’s had to put in his place before. For some reason, he insists on making her
a part of the town, but her Bostonian ways are not an easy fit. Though she too
blames her sister-in-law for his heartbreak, she’s not about to let him
distract her from her lifelong career.
As Gabe slowly cracks the shell of the good doctor, he finds beneath a woman with a soft heart and a passionate nature, who has always been married to her work first. She knows nothing about being a wife and mother, which is what he has always wanted in his life…or so he thought.
Not too late for a great Christmas story. Don't forget Easter is just around the corner and the holidays are related! For whatever reason, I was in the mood to read this.
It's a delightful rom-com, and Noelle has a problem with Christmas. It's not that she doesn't like it, but rather it was always centered around her grandmother who has passed and left her home for Noelle as an inheritance.
The house is old and needs a few minor repairs. As a grade school teacher, Noelle has little time to do much more than plan to teach and teach. She squeezes in a few dinners with her best friends.
They surprise her with an elf because she needs entertainment other than just work.
Liam is a handyman for hire, wearing a Santa hat for the occasion, and appears at Noelle's door to do handywork for two days. He's too busy and consumed with his trade to think about women.
Noelle isn't perfect like her sister. Yet, Liam notices everything good about her immediately.
The kindling is set for the fire.
When she gets herself in a pickle over needing a date for a family event, let's see if Liam can fill the ticket.
The match is lit and will the fire burn?!
It's a feel-good read and can be enjoyed even without decorations and snow for the holiday!
Happy reading,
Dawn
