🎄COVER REVEAL

Waiting For You
By Marissa James

Releasing November 6th

What happens when you get snowed in at Christmas with someone you’ve never met?

When my best friend offers up her family’s cabin for a solo Christmas vacation, it’s exactly what I need. My plan is to relax, catch up on reading, finish a few craft projects, and do yoga. Except when I show up, there’s someone already at the cabin - Hudson Wells. He was invited by my best friend’s brother.

Before we can decide who stays and who goes, a snowstorm hits and we have no choice but to make the most of our situation - share the cabin and the only bed. Maybe it’s Christmas magic or maybe it’s the mulled wine, but whatever it is has us falling hard and fast. That is until I learn the secret he’s been keeping.

Now I have to decide if it’s just a Christmas fling or if he’s the guy I’ve been waiting for.

I debated on posting this. I made this yesterday when I was feeling all the emotions of reading all the information and seeing others speak out about the Cornell investigation but sitting on it doesn’t have me feeling any different.

To Jane Doe and any other women who have experienced assault, there are no words because "I'm sorry that happened to you" does absolutely nothing. But I see you, I hear you and I am here for you.

What's your reading status of these? Have any more fall recs to include? Drop them in the comments for everyone to add to their TBR!

“You’re allowed to be selfish and go after what you want, who you want. You don’t have to sacrifice your happiness.”

Anyone else love found family? It is one of my favorite tropes (maybe my favorite) so you will probably always find it in my books. There’s just something about the family you chose being there for you and offering advice or giving you the swift kick in the pants (metaphorically of course) that you need. You will find a lot of found family in Line Change (and all of the Storm books).

Read Line Change today, it’s available in Kindle Unlimited, eBook, and paperback. It’s the fifth book in the Orlando Storm series but it can be read as a standalone.

What you can expect:
💜 Marriage of Convenience
🏒 Accidental Pregnancy (not his baby)
💜 Found Family
🏒 Forced Proximity
💜 Workplace Romance
🏒 MCs in their 30s
💜 Pierced MMC
🏒 Spice
💜 Dual First Person POVs
