Home Run – The Keller Family Series, Book 7 by Bernadette Marie Giveaway and Excerpt


Home Run – The Keller Family Series, Book 7
by Bernadette Marie

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

In one moment Christian Keller’s life was changed. Now as he picks up the pieces he wonders if he can possibly recoup what he lost.

Victoria Lincoln had a promising future with Christian until an accident took the life of her sister and left her as guardian to her two small children.

Their lives have gone in different directions, but Christian and Victoria’s paths will cross again. It will take a lot of change to pick up where they left off—if either of them can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Excerpt 
Quickly, exhaustion took over her body. At some point she knew she’d heard the kids in the hallway with Scott on their way to bed, but she slept through the night.
           
She’d nearly forgotten he was there until the next morning when she walked downstairs to make her coffee. The deep breathing from the living room startled her a moment. Then she saw him splayed out under a Mickey Mouse blanket. Her breath hitched in her throat at the sight of his bare chest.
           
Steadying herself with a cleansing breath she walked toward the kitchen.
           
She was more than grateful that she’d brushed her teeth before coming down, because when Scott walked into the kitchen and pressed himself up behind her she’d let out a sigh. His hard body was close against her and his lips were on her neck.
           
“Are you feeling better?”
           
“Uh-huh,” was all she could manage.
           
“I can call in sick and take care of you.” His voice had dipped sensually and she swallowed hard.
           
“I have to work.”
           
He let out a groan and then gave her a peck on the cheek. “Maybe tonight and the rest of the weekend.”
           
He moved away from her and headed down the hall to the bathroom and Victoria let out the breath she’d been holding. Right. It was Friday. He could come back and spend all weekend.
           
Scott would be spending the night.
           

Dear Lord, was she ready for this. She looked down at her shaky hand. Yes. She was ready.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Bernadette Marie has been an avid writer since the early age of 13, when she’d fill notebook after notebook with stories that she’d share with her friends.  Her journey into novel writing started the summer before eighth grade when her father gave her an old typewriter.  At all times of the day and night you would find her on the back porch penning her first work, which she would continue to write for the next 22 years.

In 2007 – after marriage, filling her chronic entrepreneurial needs, and having five children – Bernadette began to write seriously with the goal of being published.  That year she wrote 12 books.  In 2009  she was contracted for her first trilogy and the published author was born.  In 2011 she (being the entrepreneur that she is) opened her own publishing house, 5 Prince Publishing, and has released contemporary titles and has begun the process of taking on other authors in other genres.

Bernadette spends most of her free time driving her kids to their many events.  She is also an accomplished martial artist, working her way to her second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do.  An avid reader she loves to meet readers who enjoy reading contemporary romances and she always promises Happily Ever After.

    1. They are best in order, or at least in the break in the series. Blue books are "first" generation. Green books are "second" and red books are "third." They are written so you could read them alone, but I always say they're better from the beginning :)
