I'm writing today to thank my fellow roses. I say roses referring to all authors who write for the traditional publisher, The Wild Rose Press. I asked them to tell me about their book and offer as a sample for this Blog on a first come first serve basis with a limit on submissions. What you'll check out is a wonderful sample of the quality of The Wild Rose Press authors.
After a family crisis, Katie Hathaway must return home to help out in the
family's ice cream shop. She leaves behind her dream job of teaching ballroom
dance to spend her summer scooping ice cream and mixing milkshakes.
Chaz Hollander, Katie's high school crush, has also returned to town to work
in his family's business. After Katie treats him to a blueberry swirl sundae,
he invites her to the town's upcoming dance. The only problem is he has two
left feet.
When Katie starts giving Chaz dance lessons, their chemistry ignites, and
the postponement of her dream doesn't seem as ominous. But financial woes and a
suspicious business deal cast a shadow on their budding relationship.

After the body of Roberto Gomez is discovered in Temple Israel's parking lot, Patricia Weiss, nee Reilly, exchanges her suburban-mom sneakers for gumshoes to investigate the supposed hit-and-run.
Inspired by her police detective dad, Patricia feels compelled to uncover who killed the hardworking custodian and why. Before she can progress with her investigation or work on problems in her difficult marriage to a busy cardiologist, and his controlling Jewish mother, she is plunged into the Temple's troubles. Her mentor Rabbi Deborah, who has guided Patricia through her own recent conversion to Judaism, disappears after delivering a controversial sermon in support of interfaith marriage. Despite her husband's concerns, Patricia joins forces with her buddy Brenda. Designating themselves The Yenta Patrol, they unravel the mysteries.

A young widow’s world turns sideways when her daughter’s new coach is the hot contractor who years earlier took her heart, and her innocence.

******************
As his year-long tour comes to a close, Tim realizes how much he has missed Teri, but his efforts to find her again are futile. He goes from one bad marriage to another yet is always searching for Teri, until they meet again thirty years later.
Neither could quite forget the other, but can they rekindle what was lost?
******************
Maddy Hayden was exhausted. She'd run away from a terrible situation without a plan or a destination. Hitchhiking was a bad idea. Worse was getting in a truck with a man traveling alone. He was probably a serial killer. Whatever. It was a suitable end to this day.
When two people who are having the worst day of their lives meet, they can either crash and burn, or save each other.
******************
When stable owner Cheyenne Modine meets vet Jack Carter, it's hate at first sight. He may look like the sexiest man alive but his arrogance tells her he's a privileged member of the elite Lexington, Kentucky, Thoroughbred world. Cheyenne Modine is exactly Jack's type-a smoking hot woman who loves horses-but her slurred speech calls up childhood memories of living with an alcoholic father, and Jack isn't about to travel that road again. After several chance encounters, the fireworks between them become a contest to see who touches who first. Can Jack and Cheyenne overcome their mistaken first impressions or will their gallop to the finish line end in murder by horseshoe?
