The Celebration
Series
Welcome to the
second book in the Celebration Township Series, Tears to Cheers. This series
consists of thirteen novel and novellas that take place over the course of a
year, beginning with Christmas. During that year, twelve more stories will
unfold in the Township of Celebration, Pennsylvania, and each release will
coincide with an upcoming holiday.
When the
technicians were ready, I stepped out of the room after one final glance at the
monitor to confirm that he was still stable. Outside the room, the team
huddled, waiting to be let back in to prepare for the next step.
I glanced at the
assistant who was talking to John Pointer, one of Celebration Township’s police
officers, “Is someone trying to notify the family?” she asked him.
“His license
said he is from Bryn Mawr, which I think is down by Philadelphia. Thad is
trying to contact someone down there to try and make a notification.”
“Officer
Pointer,” he nodded as I approached him and asked, “What is the patient’s
name?”
John glanced at
the small notepad he held in his hand, “Ian Dugan, age thirty-one.”
All eyes landed
on me as the gasp left my lips. “Ian Dugan? Is his birthday April twenty-fifth?”
“Yeah? Why? You
know him?” John queried back.
I glanced back
at the door, “Yeah, I know him.”
“Damn, sorry
about that, Linda. How long has it been since you’ve seen him?” Jason asked
from beside me.
Memories of my
sophomore year of high school flashed to the front of my mind like a strobe
light. Ian’s light green eyes and boyish smile as he grinned down at me when I
said I’d go to his junior prom with him filled my mind.
I’d been
enthralled with his eyes, with the smile that could light up a room along with
the deep voice that commanded attention, even at that young age.
“I haven’t seen
him since I was sixteen, no one around here has.”
I stared at the
door as the voices around me faded. Ian Dugan was the man I had fallen head
over heels in love with in high school, the one I had lost my virginity to on
his prom night. He was also the one who disappeared out of my life two days
later. He not only vanished from my life, but from our school and our town as
well. Shortly after he had left, I had resolved to never fall in love
again.
Welcome to Celebration Township.
Casey Lowe is new in town and hiding from her past. Her next-door neighbor, Thad Wagner, is a sexy police officer, who is good with his hands, and his lips, but Casey refuses to get involved with a married man, and Thad can't seem to understand why she keeps pushing him away. No matter how they try to stay apart, something keeps drawing them together. When an unexpected visitor shows up at Casey's house the week before Christmas, her future is on the line. Will Thad figure it out in time to save her, or will Casey become a conspirator to a murderer?
Tangled in Tinsel is the first book in the thirteen-story novella series that takes place in quaint Celebration Township, Pennsylvania. The rest of the series will begin to release in the fall of 2016.
Jason Hayes
loves working as a nurse and living in Celebration Township—or he did until
Riayn Simmers showed up in town, and a secret from his past is threatened to be
exposed.
Riayn Simmers is
shocked to find her college love-and the man she had called a heathen-residing
in the same town as her aunt. Now Riayn needs to decide if she can handle
sticking around to run her aunt’s bakery, My Baked Buns.
Somehow Riayn
and Jason must find a way to coexist in the small town, but what happens when
Jason’s secret is exposed and he’s up to be auctioned off at the Valentine’s
Day Party? Will the town believe, as Riayn once did, that Jason truly is a
heathen, or will he finally win over her heart for good?
