At long last, the release date of Waitin’ On Paige, Book 4 of my Valiant series, is July 8th. That means it’s book launch time, since every author needs help spreading the word. I’d love for you to click the link and sign up! There’s an ARC, cool graphics to share, and a private Facebook group to join with weekly prizes. The three-week stint is truly a fun time for the participants–and I’m so encouraged by the support, I want to hug everyone daily.

Keep reading for the story blurb and excerpt.

All he wants is to reclaim her love…

Tavo Morales has returned to Valiant, Texas, to stir the embers of a relationship with the woman he has never stopped loving, but hidden reefs from his past threaten to destroy his future.

Paige Munoz wants her new event planning business to be a success and won’t let anything stand in her way. But the path she’s on to make her dreams come true proves dangerous.

Is the love Tavo and Paige once shared strong enough to survive their secrets?

Excerpt

Tavo has tried every way possible to connect with Paige again, but she has him relegated to the friend zone. Then she asks him for a favor. And turnabout is only fairplay in his mind. So he asks her out on a date. As a favor. Read the rest of their conversation…

“Paige smiled hesitantly. ‘I’ll go out with you. Once. This is just friends, right?’

‘No, Pep.’

‘No?’ Her stunned look emboldened him.

‘No.’ Dare he say it? ‘Because we’ve never been just friends.'”

I’d love for you to be part of my launch team! Sign up here for a new read and a fun time.
