• Release Day: Hooked by Sundown

  Posted at 7:41 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on September 28, 2018

  

  You recently joined me when I did the cover reveal a couple days ago. Now, you can read the book because it’s AVAILABLE. I’ll get right to the point and post the cover and blurb with a universal buy link to your favorite retailer and your country, and Amazon. com. Hooked by Sundown is available at Apple, Kobo, Amazon, and Nook, and at Walmart eBooks via Kobo. I’ve released this book at a discounted price for a limited time only.

  Forgive me for reiterating the info here, but if you’re new and didn’t see the cover reveal post, here we go with Release News:

  Canyon Junction: Hearts in Love Series #3

  A Double Dutch Ranch Series Spin Off

   

  

  Blurb:

  Wade Emory falls fast for women, yet it’s a well-known fact his relationships don’t last. On a trip to the Pacific Coast to visit his ill brother, he slips into his bad habit when he meets a hotheaded mom with a son who spews four-letter words. However, after enjoying nearly a week with them, she and the boy leave early. Before she’s gone forever, he convinces her to meet up again to pick up where they left off on the beach. Then, at home, an unexpected visitor pops in, and he learns the past harbors secrets and lies that don’t always stay hidden. Life’s lessons have taught him that people don’t stick around, so how can he prevent a relationship with Sophie from becoming another failure?

  Sophie Price-Daniels needs a change of scenery. The opportunity arises when she flies to California to bail her troublemaking brother out of jail. When he directs his anger at her and her boy, a stranger steps in, but a hero is the last thing she wants. She’s alone and living in her self-appointed prison of grief, until…until she peers into his warm yet saddened eyes. As desires long forgotten force their way to the surface, she’s faced with a dilemma—to give in to her needs and accept a new future is possible for her and her son—or back away and continue to believe she’s betraying a man who is no longer with them.

  Two lonely people need to trust each other—and themselves—to overcome their unfortunate pasts.

  This is one of my favorite covers to date. Hooked by Sundown turned out to be another of my favorite books, as well. Giving this secondary character in the series a book was the right choice. I knew he had a story lurking inside. Poor guy.

  Thanks to:

  My talented cover designer, Dawnè Dominique at DuskTilDawn Designs, for creating more than a dozen covers for me. When she sent me the first draft for Hooked by Sundown, I accepted it with no changes to be made. She has a way of getting into my head and seeing my vision, but with her artistic eye to keep me focused. You know you’ve met the perfect team member when this happens. You have no idea, and I’ll never tell, all the special things she did to create certain aspects of this cover.

  Thanks to the male cover model, Mathias, for bringing Wade to life. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was the same Wade I had in my head. I swear, he walked out of my head and into the door at Period Images. VJ Dunraven sure knows how to capture a moment with her camera.

  Thanks so much for coming around today to join me in showing off my newest cover to the world. I’ll return with links when the book is available.

  Enjoy the rest of your week!

• Short Snippet Saturday & National Drink Wine Day!

  Posted at 3:08 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 18, 2017

  

  Greetings! It has been eons since I’ve done a snippet on Saturday. Well, this headline is fitting in two ways. For today’s snippet, I planned on doing an excerpt from Dane’s book because I have two promos going on. One at Bargain Booksy and one at Robin Reads. And, the book is on sale! The book sits at #16 right now in Contemporary Western Fiction at Amazon. Wahoo.

  

  Another reason Dane’s book is fitting is because it’s National Drink Wine Day. Gracelyn, the heroine in this book, is a Guild Wine Master. Cheers!

  Today my snippet comes to you in the form of a graphic. I checked to see if I posted this before, and I didn’t find it in my search. My apologies if you did read this in a previous post or my newsletter. Settle back with your favorite wine and sip as you read.

   

  ---

  

  Gracelyn enters at the perfect time. She thinks she’s pulling a fast one over on Dane about her choice of wine. Sometimes Dane speaks before he thinks. A couple more beers at this meeting with Gracelyn, he might’ve said more. Yes, he’s drinking beer after his flight to Ft. Benning is delayed. Delayed all right. Delayed until the next day. Need I say more?   ❤ ❤

  Them song for this book: “Once in a Lifetime” by Clay Walker.

  ---

  I have an opened bottle of Prosecco, a sparkling wine, for later. If you drink wine, do you have a favorite you’d like to recommend? Remember– “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.” Salute!

  I appreciate your visit today. Thanks for taking the time.

  Dangerous Millionaires Series

  October NEW RELEASE

  Weekend Wedding Deception

  

  Blurb:

  “Lies, Betrayals, and Second Chances”

  Guests have gathered for an elaborate weeklong house party before a wedding at the McAlister mansion, owned by billionaire Mr. James Farrington, patriarch of the family:

  The worst thing that could happen to Abby Warren is to run into her ex-boyfriend Jack at her best friend’s wedding. When the man who broke her heart strolls in with Abby’s beautiful ex-roommate clinging to his arm, Abby is sure things can’t get any worse. Dateless herself, Abby plans to immerse herself in the lavish, weeklong festivities at the McAlister mansion and meet someone new out of all the single, handsome men, no matter how much Jack’s being there haunts her.

  Moving back to town to purchase his family’s old company, Jack McAlister has tried to wipe away memories of Abby any way he can. After what happened between them, and the trouble she caused him, he can’t stand the reminder of everything they once shared. He is determined to stand fast against the temptation when he’s near her and the jealousy evoked when other men surround her. However, when they come face to face, old feelings surface, making them both wonder how something so right could have ended so wrong.

  As if dealing with Abby’s presence isn’t bad enough, his new girlfriend is clamoring for an engagement ring, and Jack soon becomes aware that he has enemies and business rivals—there is obviously someone who has an ax to grind and wants a bit of revenge…

  Disguised with the Millionaire

  

  Blurb:

   

  She came to the company to find a Killer

  Kate Meyers is grief stricken after the news of her brother’s death at a construction site owned by wealthy Trent Farrington. After speculation of faulty equipment and wrongdoing, the police eventually clear his company. Not believing the results, Kate lands a job with the Florida Corporation to do her own investigation. When she meets Trent, Kate instantly dislikes the strikingly handsome millionaire and thinks he’s involved. Her greatest pleasure would be to see him pay for what he’s done—behind bars.

  Confirmed bachelor Trent Farrington finds himself intrigued by the company’s newest employee, but previous bad experiences with women have taught him to be cautious. However, he is drawn to the alluring beauty, but he’s puzzled that she seems to hate him for some unknown reason. He’s used to women throwing themselves at him, and her attitude shocks him and is refreshing all at the same time.

  While Kate searches for the evidence to implicate Trent, she has to work closely with him. However, the information she uncovers isn’t exactly adding up against her new boss. She dislikes how her traitorous body reacts whenever he is near, although he appears to enjoy her reaction immensely. She vows to leave the company as soon as she collects the evidence, but soon learns nothing is as it seemed…

  5 Star Review: “Contagious…”

  Dangerous Paradise

   

  

  Blurb:

  Strangers on the run for their lives

  Kelly Cochran’s late father was accused of embezzlement, causing the financial ruin of many clients. After death threats, she gets away on a South Pacific cruise to consider her options. She thinks she has her life all figured out. She’ll save the family business to repay the investors and marry her Mr. Right, her childhood crush and mentor–the wealthy movie producer Robert Hillyard. Everything is going as planned on the cruise ship until an assassination attempt on her life leaves Kelly in a life-and-death survival situation with her fiancé’s associate, Alex Drake.

  English actor Alex is devastatingly handsome and the most infuriating man she’s ever met. He’s recently out of a marriage made in Hell and vows never to remarry. The cynical playboy is the last person she’d want to be stranded with alone on a tropical island. For Alex, who wants to be the next major movie star, getting involved with Kelly is career suicide as her future husband employs him.

  Now, in a fish-out-of-water survival game and trying to find their way home, they are dependent on each other for everything, even in the depths of the night. To survive, Kelly and Alex must put aside their differences while their attraction escalates. Unfortunately, the two don’t have time to analyze their feelings for each other since the only people who know they are alive are those out to kill her.

• Short Snippet Saturday: Dane

  Posted at 12:12 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on October 17, 2015

  Here we are! Another weekend. College football weekend in my neck of the woods. Two of our big rival colleges are playing each other and this should be good. Tailgating will be cold. This was the first day with frost on the car windows. My cousin in the upper part of the state had three inches of snow. EKK!

  Enough blabbering. Today is also Saturday so you know what that means. Yes, you got it! While doing my Wednesday thing on Twitter this week, I came across a snippet for today in my newest release, an Amazon #1 Best Seller: Of the Cowboy’s Own Accord.

  From the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight, a #Western #Romance series with gentlemen #Cowboys (with a touch of bad) and the heroines who know how to handle them.)

  Dane is my military cowboy, and the youngest Carlson brother. He’s home on leave and not necessarily by choice:

  Dane woke with a start and sat up in bed. His heart pounded when he didn’t have a gun. One deep breath led to another. Normal breathing didn’t come easy. Normal? What is normal? No gun. No Army. Not a damn thing was normal. His throat clenched as he tried to swallow while his gut twisted.

  A warm hand touched his back. Closing his eyes again, he remembered where he was…at her place. Safe. “I’m sorry to wake you,” he whispered in the dark. His arm draped over a bent knee. Think a minute. Breathe.

  “Did you have a nightmare?” She sat up and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. “Don’t be sorry. I’ve read about PTSD.”

  That word made him cringe. “I don’t have PTSD. Not a nightmare. I just woke up. Please don’t mention that again. It’s a habit… Wake up to check surroundings.”

  “All right, but you’re safe here.” She laid her head against his shoulder and smoothed her hand over his arm.

  Dane pressed his head against hers. “The nights might get worse,” he said, hesitating before going on. “Especially when there are nightmares…” 

  More about this book can be found HERE.

  Side note:

  

   

  (You might also remember the struggle I had naming this book.)

  Two or more new books are coming in 2016. If interested in being notified of new releases or important book updates, my mailing list can be found here. Thank you in advance. 🙂

  Have a fantastic weekend. GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!
