Beth And The Bachelor – Susan Mallery Single mum Beth Davis' fairytale days are over…or so she thinks until she suddenly finds herself on a date with millionaire bachelor Todd Graham. He's smart, sexy and very eligible – everything a woman could want in a man. But Beth's a suburban mum, and approaching forty…she's not sure if she's Cinderella material. Todd was supposed to be raising money for charity, not auctioning off his heart, but Beth's smile captures the Texas tycoon's attention, and suddenly life as a bachelor seems less exciting than it used to. Can these unlikely lovers find their courage – and the fairytale ending they deserve? Her Bachelor Challenge – Cathy Gillen Thacker Bridgett Owens' gigantic diamond winked at Chase Deveraux like a coy madam at an old–time bordello. The fun–loving playboy of Charleston, South Carolina, wasn't supposed to go gaga over the grown–up daughter of the family housekeeper. Except welling up in the bachelor's brain were protective, intimate feelings that he just couldn't – and didn't want to – discount. But can a man who's definitely not the marrying kind turn into a committed groom–to–be…especially when nothing but bad luck has burnished his romantic record? The Bachelor Next Door – Katherine Garbera Cass Gambrel groaned at the memory of Rafe Santini coming to the rescue. The infuriating man had freed her with a gleam in his eyes that said, 'I'm interested…but not in commitment'. Well, Cass sure didn't need a man like that! Rafe knew women just weren't happy until every man in town was wearing a wedding ring! But he had no intention of getting caught in that trap. Still, something about Cass had this bachelor losing sleep and wondering if it was time to end his wandering ways…

Dear Readers, The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels. My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do. Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers. They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties. Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery writes heartwarming and humorous novels about the relationships that define women's lives—family, friendship, romance. She's best known for putting nuanced characters into emotionally complex, real-life situations with twists that surprise readers to laughter. Because Susan is passionate about animal welfare, pets play a big role in her books. Beloved by millions of readers worldwide, her books have been translated into 28 languages.
Critics have dubbed Mallery "the new queen of romantic fiction." (Walmart) Booklist says, "Romance novels don't get much better than Mallery's expert blend of emotional nuance, humor, and superb storytelling," and RT Book Reviews puts her "in a class by herself!" It's no wonder that her books have spent more than 200 weeks on the USA Today bestsellers list. Although Susan majored in Accounting, she never worked as an accountant because she was published straight out of college with two books the same month. Sixteen prolific years and seventy-four books later, she hit the New York Times bestsellers list for the first time with Accidentally Yours in 2008. She made many appearances in the Top 10 before (finally) hitting #1 in 2015 with Thrill Me, the twentieth book in her most popular series, the Fool's Gold romances, and the fourth of five books released that year. Susan lives in Washington state with her husband, two ragdoll cats, and a small poodle with delusions of grandeur. Her heart for animals has led Susan to become an active supporter of the Seattle Humane Society. Visit Susan online at www.SusanMallery.com.
