Part of Series
Ryder Mitchell is the only single man working at Carter’s Bar, and he wants to keep it that way. Orphaned as a teen, Ryder created a plan for the way his life would play out. He would get a good job, maybe two, and save enough money to buy a house he could renovate himself. Then, and only then, would he look for someone special to share his life with. When he meets someone new while working at the bar, he’s immediately repelled by her overly flirtatious attitude and odd behavior. Morgan Henry is in town to escape the abusive relationships of her past. Only her cousin, Hannah, knows the truth about what happened to her. Morgan copes with her anxiety and fears with booze, men, and tattoos; only she’s not truly coping at all. Ryder sends her desires into overdrive, but he’s resistant to her usual tricks. By the time she realizes he’s the nicest, most respectful man she’s ever encountered, she’s afraid she’s ruined her chances due to her previous liaisons. Will they come together at the right time, or have they missed what could have been the best thing to happen to either of them? *Come for the first steamy night, stay for the HEA!* This can’t-miss series is full of strong women, swoon-worthy men, and a small town that feels like home. Each book delivers on the romance factor, where the men are bestowed nicknames based on their favorite liquor and the women use pseudonyms until they’re ready to admit they’re in love. Welcome to Carter’s Bar, where you’ll instantly fall in love, just like the couples.
Author
Lara used to scribble her fictional characters down on legal pads in high school, and then not show them to anyone. In recent years, she started posting her work in public forums for feedback, which gave her the courage to publish professionally. She needs copious amounts of coffee and chocolate to survive. You’ll find F.R.I.E.N.D.S. references sprinkled throughout her books because it’s her favorite show. She enjoys eavesdropping on the character conversations in her head, which she has been assured doesn’t make her crazy. Unfortunately, she always gets the best ideas while in the shower, driving, or about to fall asleep. Though she’s a Florida girl at heart, Lara currently resides in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her husband of twenty-plus years and their three children, where she is living out her own happily ever after with the boy she met at age fifteen.
