Nora Roberts Land: Dare Valley

Nora Roberts gave her blessing to Ava Miles for the use of her name in both the title and the premise in this suspenseful and emotional contemporary romance.

Journalist Meredith Hale’s ex-husband claimed her Nora Roberts addiction gave her unrealistic expectations about marriage, and she believed him. All dreams of happily ever after – or Nora Roberts Land, as her mother calls it – went up in smoke. But when her family asks her to temporarily help their Dare Valley, Colorado newspaper, she decides it’s time to change her life and prove her ex wrong. She’s determined to find her own small-town Nora Roberts hero, prove that true love exists, and publish a story about her quest.

War correspondent Tanner McBride has just returned stateside to work for a major newspaper, and the last thing he expects is blackmail. Yet, before he can even unpack, he’s headed to Colorado. His assignment? Make his boss’s ex-wife fall for him and then break her heart. Her article about discovering love à la Nora might air dirty laundry about her marriage to the media mogul, threatening his senate run. The mogul wants Meredith stopped, and he makes sure Tanner has no choice in the matter.

Dare to Rock

Avery Dare lives a quiet life in Miami as an online fashion/makeup video blogger. She has good friends and a close, large family, and if her love life is lacking she likes it that way. But when she receives a ticket to one of her ex’s concerts along with an invitation to meet him backstage, she decides to take the risk…and comes face to face with the reality of his rock star lifestyle – the press, the crowds, and the half-naked groupies.

At 18 years old, Grey Kingston left everything he knew and loved behind to seek fame and fortune as a rock star, and he found it as the lead guitarist and singer for the band Tangled Royal. Fans adore him, women throw themselves at him, and he can afford everything he couldn’t afford growing up. Yet at the height of his career, he’s ready to walk away and return home to a simpler life…and the woman he left behind.

Except moving on isn’t as easy as Grey would like. When Avery is threatened by a stalker, it becomes evident Grey’s fans don’t want him to retire, nor do they want Avery in his life. And Avery isn’t sure she wants the pressures that are part of Grey’s life…but she doesn’t want to lose him again, either. Can their recently renewed love survive the fallout?
