Bet The House by Erika
Marks
Willamena Dunn is having a lousy week. Not only is her baby sister
about to marry into the family of Dunn-Right Preservation’s biggest
professional rival, but the historic bungalow of her dreams has just been
bought by the most infuriating (not to mention exceedingly handsome and
notoriously wicked) man to ever hammer a nail in Magnolia Bay, Knox Loveless.
But when Knox offers her a wager she can’t refuse, a bet with the
coveted bungalow as its prize, Willa is sure her bad luck might finally be
turning around—until Knox surprises her with a passionate kiss, and suddenly
all bets are off.
Could this be just another one of Knox Loveless’ games, or will
two rivals finally surrender to a long-simmering attraction and declare a truce
once and for all?
Sweet Home Carolina by Kim
Boykin
Darcy Vance has sunk every cent she has into making Mimosa House
the best bed and breakfast in Magnolia Bay. But the key to her success lies in
the hands of the Historic Preservation Society run by the Bloom bitches who are
embarrassed about their father’s connection to the storied house and they have
no intention of validating it with a spot on the society’s registry.
After losing his PGA card, Trent Mauldin has come home to Magnolia
Bay to lick his wounds and has no plans to stay. Until he falls for Darcy.
Things heat up between the two until Trent’s good intentions to help Darcy go
sideways. While Darcy works to save her
house, Trent fights to win her back and keep her in Magnolia Bay for good.

The ancient clock that came with the
house chimed the hour. As I shinnied down the ladder, I ran through the to-do
list in my head—shower at ten, hair appointment at eleven, then back to the
grind of turning Mimosa House into a stellar bed-and-breakfast. My brain
counted the bongs as they reverberated off of the walls of my new lease on life
that came with a seven-figure mortgage. Nine. Ten. Eleven. “Eleven? Shit.”
I stepped into my good flip-flops by
the front door, the ones with hardly any paint on them, grabbed my purse and
keys, and sprinted toward the Jeep.
“Yankee.” The hiss came from my
lovely neighbor, Mr. Hunsucker, who was somewhere between five and a hundred
and five years old and wasn’t at all happy I was opening a B&B. He was
watering the prize roses he’d accused me of pilfering on more than one
occasion. Okay, so when I thought no one was looking, I’d pulled a spent
blossom off, just to smell it, which made me a flower thief and a Yankee.
“Good morning, Mr. Hunsucker,” I
called and then ducked into the Jeep before the spray drenched my windshield.
Missed me.
Looking up at him in my rearview
mirror, he only held up his middle finger a few seconds this time. A new
record. Yep, I was definitely growing on him.

Erika Marks is a women's fiction
writer and the author of LITTLE GALE GUMBO, THE MERMAID COLLECTOR, THE GUEST
HOUSE and IT COMES IN WAVES (July, 2014). On the long and winding road to
becoming published, she worked many different jobs, including carpenter, cake
decorator, art director, and illustrator. But if pressed, she might say it was
her brief tenure with a match-making service in Los Angeles after college that
set her on the path to writing love stories (not that there isn't romance in
frosting or power tools!) A native New Englander, she now makes her home in
Charlotte, NC, with her husband, a native New Orleanian who has taught her to
make a wicked gumbo, and their two little mermaids.

I like the historical preservation and bed & breakfast aspects in the blurbs.
