I grab a beat on the drums for Wade, while we get ready to play at the best armpit dive in town called Mingles. Itâs where the Christmas beer runs green and the garland hanging over my drum kit is fastened with last yearâs tape. Itâs also where a new girl has started working, and from behind the glasses and bottles, sheâs not your average bar maid. No flirtation in the eyes, no attitude, no intimidation. Wade suggests steering clear of this girl named Stella, but something about her is like a goddamn magnet to me. Strange, when I call her name, she doesnât respond. When I secretly find out why, the answer would make most runâĻbut, stupidly, I do the opposite.
Â
It's just Bean and I, in this new town, and in the worst part of it, too. After just a couple of nights at the house, and after meeting a few new friends at the bar, Iâm abruptly movedâĻby Cooper, a man I hardly know. Heâs a man Iâd love to share all my secrets with, but heâs the only person who accepts that I canât. In the past, trusting has led to nothing good. The same nothing good thatâs left me in this predicament. The same nothing good that sits behind bars, and not the kind you drink at, either. Itâs also the same nothing good that gave me the one gift Iâd never take back, aside from all the rest. Which is why the early Christmas gift that I receive is so conflicting. But do I get to enjoy my Christmas miracle, or will it all be taken away by nothing good again?

About the Author
Sandra has been writing poems and short stories since middle school, and writing full length, self-published novels since 2010, using several pen names.
Writing full-length steamy romance series has quickly become a love for this author. Her stories have elements of humor, family issues, suspense and personal growth. Her books take the reader right into the bedroom with the characters to feel the same intensity as the lovers do in the story. Sandraâs goal is to have the reader rooting for the main coupleâĻand she doesnât disappoint.
You'll find this author working out weekday mornings at ungodly hours. Sheâs gluten and dairy free, and is probably the only person on earth who doesnât do coffee or chocolate.
Her favorite movie is Bohemian Rhapsody, her favorite tv shows are Friends and The Connors. Sheâs also a die-hard Rocky fan and has read the Fifty Shades trilogy and watched the movies more times than she cares to admit.
Sandra is married with two daughters and is a lover of all things four-legged, including her own two furbabies.
The Ford Brothers series focuses on five swoon-worthy brothers who each served in the military, and lost their billionaire father suddenly, which left them to run his airline after his death. Each book features one brother, but they make appearances in all five novels. In case you havenât guessed, the titles in the Ford Brothers series have been inspired by hazard warning signs, an idea the author came up with after completing a health and safety course prior to starting the series.
The Miles for Love series is about unexpected love, and it features the Lynch family; four brothers and one sister, who are each passionate, imperfect, and are just like you and I...but way sexier and with much more interesting lives. They are very individual and each have a unique story to tell.
The rock star romances are inspired by the death of Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020.
