Amanda Ashby | Vacation Flings

amazonbookbubgoodreadsfacebookInstagram

You know how it is. The sun is hot, the drinks are cold and wearing a bikini and
hot pants is a legitimate dress code. And then you meet the cute guy (because
guys always look cute when they have a tan) and before you know it, romance is
blooming. Well, thatโ€™s how it is in the movies and books.

But in real life vacation flings (or holiday flings as we would say in my neck
of the woods) arenโ€™t always that easy. For a start, there are the logistics.
What if you both come from different countries? Or, even share a common
language. And then there is the honeymoon effect to consider. When youโ€™re on
vacation, you donโ€™t normally have any of the responsibilities that come with
your regular life. Itโ€™s so much easier to be present moment and carefree, but as
soon as you step back into your real world, bills, deadlines and family
obligations can reappear in a flash.

All of which my current heroine Bec Watson discovers after meeting the gorgeous
Lincoln Mathews when she was in Italy. But her vacation fling gets cut short
when she discovers Lincoln wasnโ€™t who he says he is. Made worse by the fact that
her fling isnโ€™t the only souvenir sheโ€™s taking away with her. Sheโ€™s also
pregnant and about to discover what happens after the vacation is over.

THE WEDDING PLANNER'S BABY by Amanda Ashby

Sisters of Wishing Bridge Farm #2

The
Wedding Planner's Baby

Free-spirited Bec Watson was never having childrenยญโ€“โ€“until she is. No way sheโ€™s ready for this, and sheโ€™s not going to tie-down the father, not even (especially!) if heโ€™s secretly an English Lord. Sheโ€™s doing this solo, which means she needs help from the one place she swore sheโ€™d never returnโ€ฆWishing Bridge Farm. Home. Lincoln Mathews has never known love, only responsibility. And now his family home and business is at jeopardy unless he finds a solution. Fast. Their idea? Marry for money. But the girl who stole his heart is carrying their child. His first mission? Follow her to Wishing Bridge Farm. But soon heโ€™ll have to choose between duty to his relatives and love for the real family he never thought he could have.
