IT'S TODAY! I'm so, so, SO excited to get ONE YEAR HOME out to you! I had the BEST time writing this book and its predecessor, FIVE YEARS GONE. Sometimes the words just flow like magic, and that's what happened with these two books. Readers have been CLAMORING for the followup to FIVE YEARS GONE since it was released last October. Thank you for your patience while I worked to make sure ONE YEAR HOME was everything we all wanted it to be! Early readers are telling me it is. Phew! If you haven't yet read FIVE YEARS GONE, I recommend that you do that before reading this one. Find all the links for FIVE YEARS GONE here. 

I will be LIVE on my Facebook page to celebrate the release of ONE YEAR HOME tonight (Tuesday, Aug. 6) at 8 pm EDT with signed copies and TWO $100 gift cards to the retailer of the winners' choice up for grabs. The giveaways will be open all week, so pop in any time to comment for a chance to win! And MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THIS FRIDAY Aug. 9, at 8 pm EST when I will host a BOOK CLUB discussion of both books in the ONE YEAR HOME Reader Group. I will come bearing signed copies of both books and other great prizes, so make sure you finish the book and join the group to participate in the conversation on Friday night. Spoilers are allowed in this group, so please don't join until you're finished reading.

Scroll down to find out how you can WIN signed copies of ALL my books. That's right, more than SEVENTY books are up for grabs in my massive summer giveaway! And below that find info about how you can preorder my next book, DECEIVED BY DESIRE, which is out on Aug. 27. I'm super excited about that one, too, because it's set in my beloved hometown of Newport, Rhode island during the Gilded Age. SWOON! I think you'll love it! 

I hope you're having a fun summer in the Northern Hemisphere and a bearable winter down under. Thank you SO MUCH for your support of my books, and I can't wait to hear what you think of ONE YEAR HOME!

One Year Home

"I'm not even sure where to start with my review, I just loved this book so much. This one will definitely pull at your heartstrings and have you feeling every emotion under the sun and probably some you didn't even know you had. This story has me reeling from beginning to end. This will be one that will stick with me for a long time and I will be re-reading it.” —5 stars from Cat’s Guilty Pleasure

He came home a hero and lost the only woman he’s ever loved…  

John
I have no idea how to survive without my beloved Ava. She had no choice but to move on with her life during my six-year deployment and has now married Eric. I hate him for taking her from me. I’d prefer to wallow in my depression and heartbreak, but the whole damned world wants a piece of the SEAL Team leader who helped capture the world’s most-wanted terrorist. I need help handling the relentless requests, and when Ava sends her new sister-in-law to manage the media circus for me, I’m prepared to hate her on principle. Her brother took my Ava. What else do I need to know about her?

Julianne
It takes five seconds to realize Ava’s ex is going to be the most complicated and difficult client I’ve ever had, but the opportunity to represent the most celebrated man in the world could make my career. I’m determined to do the job, even if I dislike John from the moment I meet him. And I like everyone. So much so that my brothers worry about me being exploited by those who would take advantage of my unwavering love for others. But John… He’s in a class by himself, and his bitterness is a festering wound that I begin to wish I could somehow fix for him. The more time we spend together, the more our mutual disdain morphs into something that feels an awful lot like desire. There’s no way I can want this man, or so I tell myself, and when Eric finds out I’ve developed feelings for the man causing trouble in his new marriage, well…

That’s going to be a hot mess.

Preorder Deceived by Desire, Book 2 in the Gilded Series,
Read on August 27!

From New York Times bestselling author Marie Force comes a glittering tale of star-crossed romance set amid the lavish mansions and decadent lifestyles of early 20th century Newport, Rhode Island. But even in an age of great fortune, the heart has its own idea of true riches…

Wealthy American industrialist Aubrey Nelson has invited the Duke and Duchess of Westbrook to visit his family’s Newport seaside “cottage” for the summer. With his parents’ departure from New York delayed, Aubrey’s mother sends him ahead to oversee preparations for their guests. But when he arrives, he’s surprised to find the house and staff in disarray…
 
With much to do and little time, Aubrey comes to rely on the housekeeper, a lovely young Irish woman named Maeve Brown. And when he also finds himself confiding in Maeve about more personal matters, he tells himself it’s merely their close proximity that draws him to the compassionate, hard-working beauty. Yet when he suspects Maeve is in danger, Aubrey realizes his feelings for her have grown much deeper than they should have. For what will his mother, who dreams of a society match for her youngest son, have to say when she arrives to discover he’s lost his heart to a girl of the working class?
