Happy #FunFriday! I’m excited to welcome Jan Sikes for today’s Kerry’s Kindred Spirits #FunFriday takeover, for giveaways, games and more! Here’s the scoop on her new release, A BEGGAR’S BARGAIN:

Desperate to honor his father’s dying wish, Layken Martin vows to do whatever it takes to save the family farm. Once the Army discharges him following World War II, Layken returns to Missouri to find his legacy in shambles and in jeopardy. A foreclosure notice from the bank doubles the threat. He appeals to the local banker for more time—a chance to rebuild, plant, and harvest crops and time to heal far away from the noise of bombs and gunfire. Only the banker firmly denies his request. Now what? Then, the banker makes an alternative proposition—marry his unwanted daughter, Sara Beth, in exchange for a two-year extension. Out of options, money, and time, Layken agrees to the bargain. Now, he has two years to make a living off the land while he shares his life with a stranger. If he fails at either, he’ll lose it all.

I’m excited to welcome author Pamela Kyle to Kerry’s Kin today! Her first book, Charm City Crab Puff, releases in three days, yes, THREE days! What’s her book about you may ask? Special Agent Laci Duvall, of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, expects her life to be like her favorite beverage. Sweet and strong. So, what happens when someone throws a lemon in her sweet tea? She finds who did it and gets even. But fate drops a twisted tea bag when lead investigator and Charm City Heartthrob, Baltimore City Police Detective Antonio Desio walks into the room. He’s the one Laci abandoned to marry the dead man before them, and he bypasses tea for fine Italian wine. This case has the markings of a guzzling sweet tea straight-from-the-pitcher kind of day and Laci and Desio learn they have to work together to solve it. She’ll deal with her feelings for Desio later.

Today, I’m excited to welcome Sadira Stone, author of steamy contemporary romance set in the Pacific Northwest (my homeland!). Sadira’s stories feature small businesses – local newspaper, antiques shop, hippie-dippy crystal shop, neighborhood bar, craft brewery, bookshop – and the found family that forms there. A Sadira Stone book balances humor, relatable characters and conflict, and heartwarming friendships. Her favorite tropes to write are enemies/rivals to lovers, friends to lovers, and opposites attract. Living in Las Vegas now, Sadira’s heart, and her stories, remain firmly rooted in the PNW.
