You've already gotten a peek at the final short story, but...


After twelve years of friendship, Memphis and Kennedy Adams took a risk that changed their lives forever.

Sweetheart Scavenger Hunt #6


Ready for the sixth story in Romantic Interludes?

Jada Morgan hates Valentine’s Day—which is ironic, considering she works as a writer for a greeting card company. She meets Nathan Reynolds, one of the new graphic artists, and they bond over their mutual hatred for all things Cupid while working on designs for this year’s marketing campaign. As they grow closer, Jada learns that Nathan is a single father, and she quickly becomes attached to him and his little girl. When it’s time for the company’s holiday party, Jada assumes they will attend together, not realizing Nathan already has a date for the event. Has Stupid Cupid broken her heart once again? A heartfelt story about love, family, and second chances.

Sweetheart Scavenger Hunt #5


Have you found the hearts hiding on the authors' sites?

The featured summary is from Sandi Layne

Ten years ago, April Peterson asked her long-time crush, pen pal Lance Corporal Justin Clark, for a date. In shock after his first military deployment to Afghanistan, he ignored her, eventually deleting his email account so that she couldn’t get in touch with him.

When they meet again, April Peterson Sinclair is a widow with a young daughter and Gunnery Sergeant Justin Clark, USMC, tries to show her how he has always felt. Justin asks for a day spent alone together—just what April had asked of him long ago—and during that day, he gets his second chance.

Sweetheart Scavenger Hunt #4



Okay, before you check out today's post, you really should go back and check out yesterday's. I made a little booboo with the featured story but it's now fixed.

Okay, on with today's from Allie Jean

After a less than stellar ending to her seemingly perfect relationship, Christine decided to spend Valentine’s Day at the one place where her mind would stay good and occupied, keeping all thoughts of Mitch away. The Emergency Room had a way making the day pass by quickly, yet when her former fling elects to change his schedule with another nurse, Christine finds herself in a situation she can’t avoid. Can she finally set aside her fears and take a leap of faith? Or will her assumptions of Mitch prove her to be unlucky in love?

Day 3 of the Sweetheart Scavenger Hunt






Today's featured story is by T.M Franklin
Emily Valentine is a matchmaker who doesn’t believe in love.

Well, at least not the hearts and flowers, see-your-soulmate-across-a-crowded-room-and-the-world-stands-still kind of love. No, Emily is a pragmatist – a scientist – and she’s abandoned her family’s tradition of matchmaking based on instinct and uncanny intuition for a more scientific approach to pairing people up.

Emily believes love is more about compatibility and common interests than anything mystical.

But a run-of-the-mill job turns her world on end when swoony cake designer Sam Cavanaugh pops up as a potential match for her newest client. The attraction she feels for him throws a wrench in her plans, but she’s not going to succumb without a fight.

Emily is nothing if not practical. And reasonable. But she’s about to learn that sometimes the best things in life…are neither.

"The Golden Arrow and the Butterfly," by Lissa Bryan

Eros is the god of love, but he has never experienced the emotion himself, despite his inexplicable fascination with a beautiful young mortal woman, Psyche. When one of his golden arrows strikes Psyche instead of its intended target, he whisks her away to Olympus, to save her from the fate of falling in love with the next man she sees. Psyche is terrified when she wakes blindfolded, in a strange realm, in the company of an oddly compelling man who claims to be a Greek god. What happens when the blindfold finally comes off?

A Valentine's Treat

So Valentine's Day will soon be upon us again. Personally, I'm not a Vday fan. Shocking, I know. But I, along with some other great authors, have a little gift for you this year....





Romantic Interludes is a collection of short stories from seven of the TWCS Publishing House authors. Now, if you follow TWCS on Facebook you've seen the sneak peaks each day of the stories summaries.

Curious what mine is about? Some of you may remember this couple....


After twelve years of friendship, Memphis and Kennedy Adams took a risk that changed their lives forever. Now, three years later, they’re a happily married, suburban living couple whose only problem is a disobedient puppy. Things couldn’t be going more smoothly for these two—until Valentine’s Day turns out to be more than flowers, chocolates and candy hearts. Kennedy’s been down this road before and it ended in heartache. Will she be able to overcome her fear of the past in order to see the good? Sometimes the best things in life are the unexpected surprises along the way.

Romantic Interludes  will be available February 1st in eBook format. But starting January 25 my fellow authors and I are putting together a little treat for you where you could win an eBook of Romantic Interludes plus a signed paperback from the author of your choice. If you're on FB you can check out Sweetheart Scavenger Hunt, No worries if you're not though, there will be updates posted here along the way, too.
