Writes:

I write Celtic fantasy romance, contemporary romance and romantic comedy. WHAT
YOU DO TO ME, out November 1, 2016 is a flirty, fun, humorous contemporary
romance/romantic comedy.

About:

I live in Minnesota, where the winters are long, brutally cold and darkβ€”the
perfect environment for writing if one does not enjoy outdoor winter sports. I

  • My ideal reader loves to read books that make them tear up as well as laugh.
  • My ideal reader is a happily-ever-after junkie.
  • My ideal reader is a β€œglass half full” kind of person.
  • My ideal reader doesn’t mind missing sleep when swept away by a good story.
  • My ideal reader loves heartwarming, tug-at-your-heartstrings books.
What to expect if we’re compatible:
  • My readers can expect to experience a wide range of emotions while reading my books.
  • My readers can expect to feel satisfied and happy when they finish reading my books.

WHAT YOU DO TO ME by Barbara Longley

What You
Do To Me

Whether it’s repairing a home or taking care of clients’ other needs, Twin Cities handyman Sam Haney is in demand from his mostly female clientele. Despite Sam’s lothario reputation, love isn’t part of his portfolio. He’s built a lot of walls in his time, but the one that’s surrounded his heart ever since the death of his parents is his most solid yet. Haley Cooper has had enough heartache for a lifetime. Her high school sweetheart up and moved to Indonesiaβ€”aloneβ€”just two weeks before their wedding. Her mother thinks it’s time for Haley to move on and contracts Sam to work on Haley’s wreck of a houseβ€”and anything else, if he’s got the notion. Sparks fly and passion ignites. But Haley isn’t into Sam’s love-’em-and-leave-’em act. She wants something more. Fixing a house is one thing, but for this handyman, building a relationship will need a whole different set of skills.
