Out of Office

Out of Office
It’s moving week! When we setup everything for our relocation back to Texas, it all seemed surreal. But last night I was lying in bed and realized it’s actually happening!
Our internet will be out this week, so I’ll do my best with cell service but I may be mostly unreachable. In addition, all shipping is on hold until at least April 15th.
There are SO many things that the family is looking forward to in this move. Aside from being extremely excited about having a pool in the neighborhood again, I’m really hoping to establish a permanent office space. Currently I alternate between the living room couch, the dining table, and my bed! That may still be true, but little hands are constantly searching for my computer and other bookish things so finding a way to keep everything accessible but off limits will be paramount.
Calling all small town romance lovers!
I already know that’s all of you! So let me introduce you to Roped In by E. A. Buckingham-Young, releasing April 10th.

Wes Dawson
Most kids have summer camp. I had Cottonwood Creek. Helping Pops on the ranch, roping at the county fair, and raising hell with my best friend. It's been over a decade since I set foot on Dawson Ranch, but when Pops suffers a heart attack, I reluctantly head back to convince him it's time to sell. I don't expect to get swept back into the ranch life again, but the fresh air, long horseback rides through the fields, and a fiery redhead down the road have me questioning if the life I built in the city is worth holding on to.
Sawyer Addams
Horses don't judge, and they don't disappoint, which is why I prefer to spend my days training them and lending my neighbor, Pops, a hand around his ranch. When Wes Dawson rolls up to my place with a flat tire and bad attitude, his condescending sneer is impossible to ignore, no matter how hard I try. As much as I’d love to send this city boy packing, Pops made him a deal, and now I’m stuck working with him. But the more time I spend with Wes, the easier it is to see through the hardened city veneer to the country boy he used to be, and resisting him in those Levi’s and that Stetson becomes a lot harder.
Happy Pub Day!
Alyssa St. Don’s new novel, Cherry Blossoms, released TODAY! If you’re a fan of reverse harem, k-pop idols, and soulmates, this one is for you.

Rae Lee
I have experienced enough change in my life to last an eternity. Between moving from Sydney to Seoul, then back to Sydney, and then back again to Seoul, I reached my quota for major life changes with the first move.
Little did I know that going to see my favorite K-pop idol group UNIQ would bring about another major life change - well, except this time, it’s seven major life changes. Yup - all seven members of UNIQ, the most famous men in the world, are my soulmates.
And they actually want me in their lives.
I’m just Rae, a 22-year-old student in my last year of college, with an older brother who’s equally famous and overprotective, along with a whole lot of daddy issues. They are millionaires who are coming off their second record-breaking world tour.
I’m nowhere near worthy of their time and attention, but they are dead set on convincing me otherwise.
More updates coming soon, including: events, writing projects (new titles!), and more!
XOXO, Amanda
