New Release: The Cowboy’s Secret

New Release The Cowboy's Secret, Inspirational Romance, Jill Kemerer

Looking for a new release in inspirational romance? The second book in the Wyoming Sweethearts series, The Cowboy’s Secret, is in stores today! I had a blast writing this book. Here are some reasons you might want to pick it up (the price alone is worth it–$4.48 at Walmart and other superstores, and $5.99 at Barnes & Noble!).

The Cowboy’s Secret

  • A heroine who doesn’t like cowboys
  • A hero who’s pretending to be a cowboy
  • An adorable baby I could just smother with kisses
  • Plenty of friends from the first book in the series, Her Cowboy Till Christmas
  • Summer in Wyoming (I would take summer anywhere, at this point!)
  • No pandemics in this one–you can escape into a romance!
  • New release: Inspirational romance with Love Inspired
The Cowboy's Secret by Jill Kemerer April 2020

I’m also very excited that my book, Reunited with the Bull Rider, has been rereleased with Brenda Minton’s, The Rancher’s Secret Child, in a 2-in-1 Western collection. It’s in stores today, too, and you get both books for one low price!

With all the unsettling news, I pray you and your loved ones stay healthy and safe. Please remember to pray and to trust God’s plan. It isn’t always easy!

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Is the coronavirus news making you read more? Or less? (For me, more!)

My 10th Novel Released Today!

It’s celebration time! My 10th Love Inspired novel, HER COWBOY TILL CHRISTMAS, released today! I’m super excited about this book. Let me tell you why.

  • It’s a Christmas book! And you know I love Christmas.
  • Reunion romance–Brittany and Mason were best friends growing up. The summer after high school, they became more than friends, but Brittany broke Mason’s heart, and he’s never forgiven her.
  • There’s the sweetest little three-year-old boy–Mason’ son. His wife died six months after giving birth to Noah.
  • Did I mention this is an identical twins separated at birth story? Yes, it is. I won’t say another word!
Her Cowboy Till Christmas (Wyoming Sweethearts Book 1)

Can a Christmastime reunion become forever?

She’s only home for the holidays…Can he convince her to stay?

The last person rancher Mason Fanning ever expects to see again is the girl who once broke his heart.

A Meddled Match Releases Today!

10 Weeks Of Romance Giveaway! Jill Kemerer A Meddled Match

It’s here! Today the RESORT TO ROMANCE SERIES launches, and I’m so excited!

About a year ago, Jessica R. Patch and I were joking around on the Voxer app, and we started throwing out silly ideas for a multi-author series. We weren’t planning on creating one–we were just having fun.

Somehow a private island got tossed in. Then a couple of eccentric spinster sisters. Then Matchmaking Week with couples paired by experts. And rules–no sex, no cells, no switcharoos! We were rolling on the floor in laughter. It was one of those days when we really wished we lived near each other! Alas, Jessica lives in Mississippi, and I’m in Ohio…

By the end of the day, we’d decided we were putting this series together because it was too fun NOT to do it!

And here we are…release day. Woohoo!

A Meddled Match: Resort to Romance Series by Jill Kemerer

My novella, A MEDDLED MATCH, kicks things off.

Gavin Sterling wants no part of Matchmaking Week, but his eccentric great aunts insist he fill in for a no-show or he won’t have a chance at inheriting their island resort. Surprisingly, his match intrigues him. Mollie is blunt, sassy, and best of all, has no idea he’s the son of a billionaire.

Mollie Macomb needs a relaxing vacation without the dating drama. A relationship with Gavin would never work in the real world, anyhow. He’s a gorgeous businessman. She’s a quirky failure. But even the unlikeliest couple can find love during Matchmaking Week…

A Meddled Match is a SWEET romance. Basically, it’s clean and wholesome without the faith thread.

Purchase A MEDDLED MATCH for only $0.99!

Each week, another book releases! Jessica’s book, A MESSED-UP MATCH, will be available Tuesday, February 26, 2019. You can pre-order all ten books now for $0.99 each! Don’t wait, though, because a week after the book releases, the price goes up to $2.99.

RESORT TO ROMANCE SERIES

A Meddled Match kicks off the RESORT TO ROMANCE SERIES. I’m sure you have lots of questions. Let me help you out!

What is the Resort to Romance Series?

It’s Matchmaking Week at an all-inclusive resort on a private island in the Bahamas. Each guest has been expertly paired and is here to enjoy one full week with their match. While there’s no money-back guarantee on the paid trip, the participants are guaranteed to find love!

Get ready for ten weeks of romance in the Bahamas with a new series brought to you by some of the best authors in the inspirational and sweet romance genres…

Ten delightful – and standalone – novellas linked by one matchmaking week. You’ll want to devour each one!

What is A Meddled Match about?

A Meddled Match is a sweet romance (no sex or cussing–it is clean and wholesome), not an inspirational (faith-based) romance like my Love Inspired novels.

Here’s the back-cover copy.

Gavin Sterling wants no part of Matchmaking Week, but his eccentric great aunts insist he fill in for a no-show or he won’t have a chance at inheriting their island resort. Surprisingly, his match intrigues him. Mollie is blunt, sassy, and best of all, has no idea he’s the son of a billionaire.

Mollie Macomb needs a relaxing vacation without the dating drama. A relationship with Gavin would never work in the real world, anyhow. He’s a gorgeous businessman. She’s a quirky failure. But even the unlikeliest couple can find love during Matchmaking Week…

Where Do I Find the Series?

Each book is available for Kindle on Amazon. They are all at the bargain price of $0.99! But the price won’t last. One week after each book releases, the price goes up to $2.99, so pre-order them now!

Links to all ten books can be found at the Resort to Romance Series page!

Will I like it?

I hope so! Here are what some early reviewers have to say about A Meddled Match.

“One paragraph into this novella and I was all in! Loved every minute. Jill Kemerer has a hit with this one! If the rest of this series of novellas set in a matchmaking resort is anything like the first two, that will be wonderful…” ~ Susan (Goodreads)

“Oh my goodness!! What a fun read. I found myself laughing out loud and wishing I was on that Joy Island watching this all happen. I loved the cast of characters, the story line and the sweet and clean romance. This novella can be read in one sitting. ” ~ Dana (Goodreads)

“These two are a riot to watch and made me laugh at their antics! The witty banter alone endured me to Gavin & Molly. They fight the attraction between them at every turn, but everything conspires against them to prove that real love can be found anywhere! Ginny & Goldie are the eccentric aunts that are over-the-top hilarious; deep down they care a great deal for Gavin and only want to see him happy. I haven’t laughed so much at a story for a long time!” ~ Trixi (Goodreads)

Any questions? I’d love to answer them! Come back next week because we’re celebrating release week with an EPIC giveaway!!

Oh, and early Happy Valentine’s Day!
