stop with the matchmaking.
Resolute, Violet nodded to herself and pressed play again.
Wait.
Who was that?
The Milligan girls were still single. They’d just moved back and were taking over the 1880s storefront their grandparents had turned into a KrazBnB downtown.
Maybe she could help them find someone suitable.
No. She shouldn’t interfere.
But even as she thought it, Violet Braverman knew.
The day would come where the pull became too strong, and she’d forget her resolution.
But for now, she’d enjoy Christmas with her family, including two of her granddaughters with their Beach husbands.
Matchmaking would have to wait.

Letter to Readers
Dear Reader,
Thank you for joining Madi and Wyatt in Small Town Girls Don’t Marry Baseball Stars! I appreciate you and hope you enjoyed it!
I’ve so loved this series and writing small town romance! (Plus, if Mrs. Braverman has her way, we’ll be back in Trumanville at Christmas ;). I’ve learned not to argue with Mrs. Braverman!)
I will admit I’m also absolutely loving working on the next royalty book! Kari (Kah-ree) and Gideon have been so much fun! Keep going for a bit of a preview of Dinner with a Prince!
Serenity Landing Book Club
What is that?! It’s the Facebook reader group that started last summer! I’d love to have you there! It’s easier for you to see what’s posted than on a Facebook page and we do fun stuff! There will be discussion questions after the release of a book, sneak peeks of the next one, general discussion, and chances to win copies of books and other goodies! I’d love to have you there!
Other Stuff
I see a meme floating around Facebook from time to time that tells readers what they can do to help their favorite authors. Buying their next book or giving a copy away is kind of a no-brainer, but the biggest thing you can do is write a review. If you enjoyed The Inadvertent Princess would you consider doing just that?
I would LOVE to hear from you! My email address is [email protected]. To stay up-to-date on releases, you can sign up for my newsletter (there’s fun stuff - like a chance to get Love for the Ages free! You’ll also get notices of sales, including special preorder pricing! And I won’t spam!) or there’s always my website :). You can find my website and blog at www.carolmoncado.com. Of course, there’s Facebook and my Facebook page, Carol Moncado Books. But... the way pages work, sometimes very few people (often 1-5% of “likes”) will see anything posted. I keep trying to find the best way to get to know y’all and “spend time” together outside of your Kindle - at least for those of you who want to!
Thanks again!
Acknowledgments
They say writing is a solitary endeavor, and it absolutely can be. Sitting in front of the computer for hours on end, talking to imaginary people.
And having them talk back ;).
But the reality is no one walks alone. Since I began this writing journey over six years ago, I can’t begin to name all of those who’ve helped me along the way. My husband, Matt, who has always, always believed in me. All of the rest of my family and in-loves who never once looked at me like I was nuts for wanting to be a writer. Jan Christiansen (my “other mother”) has always believed in me and Stacy Christiansen Spangler who has been my dearest friend for longer than I can remember.
Ginger Solomon, author of One Choice and a bunch of other fantastic books (but One Choice is still my favorite!), has been invaluable with her proofreading services. Check her books out!
Then there’s my writer friends. Bethany Turner (have you read The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck or Wooing of Cadie McCaffry yet?! And Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish is coming soon!) and Mikal Dawn (AH! Count Me In!) have both been so wonderful the last few months keeping me laughing and my spirits up. Then Jennifer Major, a Canadian no less ;), who does life with me and loves me anyway! There’s Jen Cvelbar (writing as Jennifer
