Strong is Sexy Heroine of the Week: Alice Jaye

Book: Ask Me for Tomorrow
Author: Elise K. Ackers
Heroine: Alice Jaye

Alice Jaye is the heroine of the third Homeland novella, Ask Me For Tomorrow, and perhaps the strongest of the series’ leading ladies. A single mother working two jobs, she gives all her spare time to her troubled son, Ben. He’s being bullied at school – by her boss’s kid, no less – and he gets quieter every day. There are days when Alice can hardly find the strength to get up of a morning, but she endures. She’s strong, resilient and endlessly selfless. And it takes a certain kind of person to give the Foster family a run for their money.

Although a little overweight, with finger length regrowth and nails bitten down to the quick, Alice has some serious sex appeal. She’s perfectly curved for hugs, and she has no idea what she’s doing to Dean Foster’s long-dormant libido. Alice is sexy because she’s not trying to be – she is who she is, with the limited time that she has, and she makes Dean want to prove that sometimes the world, and all its complications, can wait.

Ask Me For Tomorrow: A Homeland Book was just released. Ask Me To Stay and Ask Me For More are the first and second novellas in the rural romance series, and are available now.

Blurb:

Three years after losing his wife, Dean Foster feels like he's living in a daze. When he finds himself attracted to his new employee, it comes as quite a shock.

Single mum, Alice Jaye, is struggling to make ends meet. She's too tired to flirt with her gorgeous new boss and firmly maintains a professional distance. But when their children bring them into close contact, keeping their relationship strictly business isn't easy.

As Alice and her son spend more time with his family, Dean's heart begins to open once more. But can he risk starting all over again?

This eagerly anticipated final book of the Homeland series is a tender, heartwarming story about letting go of the past and giving love a second chance.

Strong is Sexy Heroine of the Week: Olivia Law

Book: Ask Me For More
Author: Elise K. Ackers
Heroine: Olivia Law 

Olivia "Lawless" Law isn't proud of her reputation. One long-ago mistake promoted her from child mischief-maker to town pariah, and it drove her from her home. Eighteen years later, her best friend Samantha O'Hara is calling her back to Hinterdown; the town where no one forgives much, and forgets even less. This takes an incredible strength of character, because the locals are ready for something new to talk about, and they don't mind mowing her down in the gossip crossfire.

Returning, she proves that people can change, and that old friends sometimes don't. It is her strong-willed, resilient nature which secures the admiration - and heart - of Sam's brother, Caleb.

Liv's no longer the wild-haired gypsy child she once was. She's modern, she's got her hair under control and her impish, exuberant behaviour lures like a siren call. She’s got plenty of reasons to feel sorry for herself, but Liv’s unsinkable. Which through Cal’s eyes, is sexy as hell.

Then when she proves herself to be the kind of person who will endure a town full of spite for a friend in need, she becomes irresistible.

Olivia Law is the heroine of Ask Me For More: A Hinterdown Book, the second in the Homeland series being published with Destiny Romance.

Blurb:

When Olivia Law returns home for her best friend's wedding, it stirs up a lot of unexpected memories – not all of them good ones. Liv has a history here she'd prefer to forget, and a life in the city she wants to get back to. She certainly doesn't expect to find herself attracted to the bride's elder brother, Cal O'Hara.

Cal remembers Liv as the trouble making friend of his little sister. He doesn't expect to be faced with an incredibly sexy grown-up version. But Cal has been hurt in the past and is not prepared to risk his heart again. Certainly not for someone who is leaving town in a few days.

Nothing is certain in this delicious tale about escaping the past. Ask Me for More is a poignant story about finding love where you least expect it.
