Yesterday was Pi Day, today is the Ides of March, and Sunday is St. Patrick's Day, so naturally tomorrow, the one day of the four that doesn't have its own name is the day we're having family over for a dinner of Caesar salad, Irish lasagne (made with potatoes instead of noodles--it's really delicious) and...cake, not pie, because my daughter made this Ides of March cake on pie day. At least it's circular and not square... 😂

I feel like we need to cut this cake with a sword. I think we have one somewhere.

For your St. Patrick's Day reading, I suggest books with green covers.

I've got a deal for you → CATALYST is only 99¢ for a limited time!

When a food storage depot in famine-struck South Sudan is torched, American aid worker Brie Stewart flees, only to land in a market where she’s the next item up for sale. Green Beret Sebastian Ford crossed paths with Brie years ago when she was a shill for her family’s oil company, pushing a pipeline that threatened tribal land. Tasked with leading his A-Team on the mission to find her, he won’t let her abduction—or the attraction that flares between them—get in the way of settling their unfinished business.

EVERY SINGLE SECRET by Christina Dodd

Never whisper the truth. Never reveal the past.​
​
In an isolated lighthouse on the California coast, Rowan Winterbourne lives a solitary life with only her secrets for company. For she has a mission that drives her—to avenge herself against Gregory Torval, the powerful drug and arms dealer who murdered her mother and vowed to eliminate everyone in her family.
​
Then Joe Grantham arrives at her door and, for the first time, Rowan lets her guard down—a dangerous mistake when he blackmails her to go with him to Torval's private island. There Torval’s decadent birthday celebration rages, and while Joe pursues his own agenda, she’ll provide the perfect distraction.
​
On Raptor Island, Torval’s will is law and Joe, the closest she has to an ally, is an enigma she can’t trust. One false move, one careless word, and Rowan will die. As dark truths are uncovered, one by one, Rowan recognizes her last chance for the revenge has come. But is it worth everything she must sacrifice to get out alive?

About the first book, CRASHED:

Glamorous professional racecar driver Leilah Khan is a thrill seeker, always up for adventure. She’s also tough and fearless. She has to be, as one of the few women in a field dominated by testosterone.

Attorney Ryan Hayes is intellectual and methodical. He may work for a private security firm, but his job is to avoid danger, not seek it. All the same, when his friends surprise him with a driving experience with Leilah for his birthday, Ryan finds it—and her—exhilarating.

After they leave the racetrack, still coursing with adrenaline from the high-speed laps, Leilah crashes her street car. Someone’s tampered with her brakes. And they, whoever they are, won’t stop there. Ryan and Leilah go on the run, unsure if the danger chasing them is from her racing rivals or his work for Potomac Private Services.

As they scramble to find answers, they try to resist the attraction they feel. Their chemistry is undeniable, but neither is willing to act on it. For one thing, they’re oil and water. For another, Ryan is Leilah’s brother’s best friend. But as both the danger and their desire grow, they’ll face more than one impossible choice.

About THE WIDOW BRIDE:

Since I lost my first husband, Blake has been there for me, showering me with gifts and affection, holding my hand as I go back into the world. He’s the only one who truly understands what I’ve been through. How hard it’s been on me. So, when Blake insisted we keep our elopement a secret, I agreed. But, now, it feels wrong to walk down the aisle between empty chairs.
​
As I step in front of the officiant with my husband-to-be, I think back to my last conversation with my first husband’s sister. Should I have listened when she tried to warn me about Blake’s past? ​
​
Maybe it’s just wedding day nerves… But when I meet Blake’s brown eyes, there’s something dark in them I’ve never seen before. He grips my wrist to put the ring on my finger, and a shiver runs down my spine when he says, “Finally, you’re mine.” ​
​
I remember my sister-in-law’s warning and I tremble. But it’s too late to turn back now. ​
​
Marrying him is the only option because I have secrets of my own.
