Three bachelors turned…matchmakers?
One special night with Cooper Hamilton gave Nora Perry a precious gift. But no way is the sweet-talking salesman the right guy for her…or is he?
Former pro athlete Ty Porter could get burned when he falls for the beautiful reporter who ruined his career—and could now expose his most zealously guarded secret!
Gideon Walker has a long history with free-spirited flower shop owner Sophie Jennings. But when the banker-matchmaker fixes her up with potential candidates, he realizes he's made a terrible mistake…
Award winning, USA Today bestseller Melinda Curtis writes the Harmony Valley series of sweet and emotional romances for Harlequin Heartwarming, and the sweet romantic comedy Bridesmaid series. A Memory Away is Book 6 in the Harmony Valley series. Brenda Novak says: “Season of Change has found a place on my keeper shelf”. Melinda also writes hotter romances as Mel Curtis. Jayne Ann Krentz says of Blue Rules: “Wonderfully entertaining.”
Growing up in the 70′s and 80′s meant there weren’t a lot of YA books, so she ventured early into mainstream fiction and read Stephen King’s CARRIE at the age of 8. Discovering Nora Roberts and romance novels early in high school opened her eyes to the wonders of storytelling and the beauty of a happily ever after.
So here she is, many years later with an English degree from CSU Sacramento, an RWA Golden Heart nomination behind her, countless stories in her head, and a serious addiction to STAR TREK, SUPERNATURAL, and SHERLOCK. She recently wrapped up a nearly 8-year stint working as assistant to NYTimes bestselling author Brenda Novak where she helped run Brenda's annual online auction for diabetes research. When she's not writing or reading (which she never has enough time for!), she's working on dollhouse miniatures and tolerating her overly-affectionate cat named Snickers (or perhaps it's Snickers who tolerates her).
Excerpt
The puffed-up tourist came toward him and
unwrapped a scarf so thick it looked as if his grandmother’s handmade fleece
throws had mated. She pulled off a gray wool cap, revealing familiar short
blond hair that teased her ears as if daring Mother Nature to try and freeze
her delicate, balanced features.
Kelsey Nash, the beautiful, backstabbing
columnist, had returned to K-Bay. The pretty looks belied an icy inner
strength; the watered-down bourbon doe eyes camouflaged a shrewd nature.
He’d never forget the headlines she’d written
about him when they were both eighteen. The first article got picked up by
hundreds of news outlets and launched an investigation: Gambling Ring Profits
from Hockey Player’s Greed for Fortune and Fame and Exposes Itself.
The second propelled a high school newspaper reporter into
the national spotlight: Accidental or Intentional? Hockey Player Suffers
Career-ending Injuries Hours after Investigation Begins.
Those headlines—those stories—and accusations
that he would intentionally throw a game had contributed to the end of his
professional hockey career.
Kelsey had ridden the red carpet of Ty’s
shame to Anchorage and her shiny new career before the first metal pin had been
set in Ty’s temple. Before the wound caused by her leaving had had time to
heal.
“Kelsey Josephine Nash.” Ty rolled his
shoulders, trying to stretch skin that suddenly felt too tight for his body.
“The Anchorage Beat’s
best gossip columnist.”
Her eyebrows lifted, no more than a flinch, but he knew he’d hit
his mark. She’d wanted to be a journalist, covering important news. She’d never
progressed past the entertainment section.
“Tyler
Ian Porter.” Kelsey stepped onto the sidewalk, stopping on the other side of
the snowbank. “K-Bay’s iceplex handyman turned matchmaker.”
