When a silver fox biker encounters a quirky, small-town librarian, these opposites might have more in common than one suspects and a long overdue second chance at love. Naomi Winters will be forty—soon-ish—and she's only been with one man. One night. One time. Long ago. She believes everything happens for a reason, and the universe spoke about him. But when her past stands before her looking sexier than ever with silver scruff and a smirky dimple, she's giving her inner goddess a second listen. Nathan Ryder isn't the same man who hightailed his bike out of Green Valley eighteen years ago. Coming home goes against everything he should do. However, he's always been a rule taker, and women are one area he acts a fool. Case in point—the local librarian. When he encounters her between the stacks, it doesn't matter that he can't get a read on her, he just knows he's not willing to risk losing her. Again. Despite little in common, the stars align in mysterious ways and the due date on their love might not be expired after all. + + + Love in Due Time the first of The Winters Sisters, romantic tales of silver foxes and feisty vixens in the Green Valley Public Library series, an imprint of Penny Reid's Smartypants Romance.

It's more than her frail body that prevents her from associating with others, but a fragile heart shattered more than once. When a personal renovation becomes mandatory, she's not so excited about the reality of life versus DIY cable shows. However, her new tenant isn't backing down from this extreme makeover. Jedd Flemming understands physical pain and personal loss, but it's never stopped him from bucking forward in life. A former military man and rodeo star, his life as a nomad comes to an end with false accusations and a family matter in his hometown. His absence has been long, but once returned, there's nothing he wants more than to reclaim what he's lost and maybe stake a claim on the elusive buzzing-bee female who holds a sliver of his heart. When faced with a challenge, sometimes deeds are louder than words, and Jedd's out to prove love is worth another go around the pasture for these forty-somethings. + + + Love in Deed is the second of The Winters Sisters, romantic tales of silver foxes and feisty vixens in the Green Valley Public Library series, an imprint of Penny Reid's Smartypants Romance.
