St. Nacho’s Newest Residents

December 20, 2020 by Z.A. Maxfield

There’s a new man in town! Maybe you remember Tug from A Much Younger Man? Tug was kind of a jerk. A thief. An addict. So yeah…not a very awesome guy.

Enter the magical healing properties of a town like St. Nacho’s. Fate intervenes in the form of an OD and reintroduces Tug to Luke Greaves, the librarian who saves his life.

When I started this book, I intended it to be a sweet Christmas story half its length. But no matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t find a way to create a believable HEA, or even a good HFN for these two mens in a short book.

Because of Tug’s addiction, both men had to face their demons, recalibrate their expectations, and slow their roll before they could begin to have a relationship. And in the end, any HEA for a man with a lifelong, sometimes crippling health issue like addiction is by definition a series of HFNs that happen over and over, day after day, one day at a time.

I guess that’s why it was so compelling to write this book. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Holidays, and I wish you the very best of New Years!

A Plummet to Soar Story

Feckless, luckless, and charming, Mackenzie Detweiller is the author of a self-help book one reviewer calls “the most misbegotten motivational tool since Mein Kampf.” He’s maneuvered himself into a career as a life coach, but more often than not, his advice is bad. Really bad.

It’s even getting people hurt… and Mackenzie sued.

It falls to Mackenzie’s long-suffering acquisitions editor, JD Chambers, to deliver the bad news. He chooses to do so face-to-face—to see if the spark he senses between them is real when they’re together in the flesh. Unfortunately, a snowstorm, a case of nerves, a case of mistaken identity, and finally a murder get in the way of a potential enemies-to-lovers romance.

There are many, many people who have good reason to want Mackenzie dead. JD must find out which one is acting on it before it’s too late for both of them.

An all-new series from the author of My Cowboy Promises hits sultry notes as a woman shakes the dust off her small-town life.

An impulsive decision as a teenager forced Andi Chandler to put her dream of being a Nashville star on hold. Motherhood and a marriage of convenience have tied her down to the small town of Bitterroot, Texas. But now that her son is older and her husband is living life out of the closet, Andi’s ready to spread her wings and take another shot at the country music scene. Men, however, are a different story…

Malcolm never intended to catch Andi’s eye all those years ago at the rodeo. There were a million reasons it wouldn’t work—the age difference for one. He knew he should have stopped Andi from making a rash decision, but he didn’t and has lived with the shame ever since. Now that she’s a grown woman they can finally explore all those unanswered what-ifs—and just maybe, have a shot at a second chance at happiness.
