928 Happy Bottom (A Cherry Falls Romance #39) by Barbra Campbell

In all my years in Cherry Falls, how had I never laid eyes on Bayleigh Green?

Her crop tops, cut-offs, and enchanting smile were enough to attract any man’s attention, but I saw something deeper. And, no matter how hard I fought it, I couldn’t shake the belief I would put a ring on her finger.

There were only a few problems:
-her age, which was closer to my grown daughter’s than my own
-her passion, which was clearly children since everything in Bayleigh’s life centered around kids… babysitting, working as a nanny during weekdays, and her job at the mini-golf course
-her future, which should include children of her own, but with only six years left before I retired from the Cherry Falls Police Department, we were at totally different stages of our lives

I’d paid my dues raising my daughter alone, and as amazing as it was to be a father, I was ready to be free from obligations.

I had no right to deny Bayleigh the chance to raise a family of her own, but fate and my heart didn’t seem to understand the roadblocks my brain kept dredging up.

As our lives continued to intertwine, one moment alone, one whispered request from her sweet lips, and one moment of weakness, I learned that some things can’t be controlled.

Would I have to give up everything I’d worked for to give Bayleigh the life she deserved?

Cherry Falls is filled with returning characters and iconic destinations that will begin to feel like family. When you leave the city, and drive into Cherry Falls, it’s like you’ve finally come home.
The cherry on top? Each book delivers a swoon-worthy romance!
So welcome to Cherry Falls, we hope you stay awhile!

This book can be read as a stand-alone, and as always, I guarantee a dirty-sweet romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a Happily Ever After!

Persistent Protector by Barbra Campbell

With little more going for me than a lenient judge who assigned community service hours instead of jail, I had to get my life under control.
That meant distancing myself from friends who weren’t ready to come clean.
Fulfilling the mandated service hours at the animal shelter occupied my spare time and gave me a sense of purpose—a belief that I could do good in the world. And while the pseudo-friendship I’d developed with the shelter Director helped, it didn’t fill my loneliness.
Because my life options rarely presented themselves in a timely or convenient manner, I found myself torn between two dating prospects. One had pulled himself up from a sordid past, just as I was trying to do. He offered comfort and understanding, and didn’t balk at being my first ever committed, exclusive relationship.
The other guy made my heart happy, my legs weak, and elicited a flurry of sexual thoughts, but came along one commitment too late. Or were those the reactions of my usual non-committal self, believing the grass was always greener on the other side?
The more I learned about the new people in my life, the more I learned that first impressions shouldn’t always be trusted.
Everyone had a past.
Everyone had a mission.
And like usual, luck wasn’t on my side.
Untangling the good from the bad could mean risking everything.
But for once, I wasn’t only worried about myself. The result of my actions could bring harm to the closest person I had to a friend, the Director of the animal shelter, and her ridiculous pet goat.
Could my past prove useful for unraveling the deceit and lies crafted by the man I’d let into my heart? And would my actions ruin the best chance I’d ever had at finding true love?
Doing the right thing wasn’t my forte, but there was no time left to sort out my options.

*Persistent Protector is a steamy insta-love romantic suspense inspired by Cocky Bastard. Approx. 30,000 words.

Lumberjack Wishes (Mermaid Kisses Series) by Barbra Campbell

Fortune cookies were a gimmick. End of story.
No lumberjack in his right mind would put any more stock in the fortunes than the lottery numbers printed on the backside. In fact, they were nothing more than a waste of paper, but I supposed that gave me job security.
Yet there I was, against all rational thought, staring at the little paper, questioning my sanity. Being forced to face my demons.
The next thing I knew, I’d written a message, stuffed it in a bottle, and tossed it out to sea. I was finally releasing the pain I’d carried for six years. A hundred giant steps from being ready to move on, but it was a start. A private gesture to send my agony away while knowing it wasn’t forgotten, even if only in the depths of the ocean.
Or so it was supposed to be. The very next day, a woman had my bottle open and she was reading my letter at the rocky outcropping where I’d tossed it in.
That’s when I learned that fortunes weren’t the most mysterious thing in the world and fate indeed worked in mysterious ways. Because if I believed my eyes, I was staring at a real live mermaid.
The even harder thing to fathom was how my heart could instantly feel ready to claim a being I didn’t even believe existed.

Is there anything better than falling in love? Finding another HEA? I’ll always give you a dirty-sweet story to keep your heart full and your windows fogged!
