REUNITED...AND PREGNANT
She's pregnant…and working with her ex!
PR whiz Cady Collins's personal and professional lives both desperately
need a reboot. So when millionaire Beckett Ballantyne decides to rebrand his
company, Cady is determined to land the job. The only complication is her
romantic history with her devilishly handsome boss, whose smoldering blue-eyed
gaze still makes her swoon. And the only complication with that is the
fact she's already pregnant!
Beck doesn't mind that he's not the baby's father—he only knows he burns
for the mom-to-be. But when a media misunderstanding leads to a fake
engagement, will Beck end the Valentine's Day charade or play for keeps?
Reunited…and Pregnant is part of The Ballantyne Billionaires
series.
READ A LITTLE...
Almost
a decade ago…
“You’re going back to school, Cady. That was always the plan. I’m
just sending you home two weeks early.”
Cady took a step back and her eyes filled with tears. “You’re sending me home?”
Oh, damn, bad choice of words. “I’ll be home for Christmas. We can
reevaluate then.”
“You’re sending me home?” Cady repeated his words, emphasizing
each one.
“Christmas
is in three months—”
Cady’s lips firmed and she folded her arms across her torso. “Do
you love me, Beck?” she demanded.
Ah, no. Not this question. He could love her, he silently
admitted, and that was why she needed to go back to the States. Falling in love
with Cady, with anyone, wasn’t something he was prepared to do.
When he didn’t answer, Cady grabbed his arm, her nails digging
into his skin.
Beck jerked his arm away and forced himself to meet her eyes. Oh
damn, he wished he hadn't because, as long as he lived, he'd remember the
betrayal he saw within them, the pain he'd caused. Cady lifted her hand to
grab the fabric of his shirt just above his heart, twisting it in her fist.
"Don't do this, Beck. Don't throw us away, don't toss me aside. We can fix
this."
“That’s the thing, Cades, I
can’t be fixed.”
It was a special type of hell, Beck thought, to watch a heart
break. It was even worse when you were responsible for it breaking.

Jan Schliesman: Do
you ever get lost in your own stories?
Joss Wood: So much! When I’m in the zone, I have a movie
playing and it takes all that I have to accurately translate what’s happening
in my head onto the page. I laugh when my characters laugh, get angry with and
for them, have shed their tears for them. What can I say, I’m nuts.
Jan: Name
three things on your desk right now.
Joss: Two pieces of driftwood in a jar I collected from a
beach, a wooden elephant and a pump bottle of hand cream I forget to use. And
an empty coffee cup.
Jan: Do
you struggle to find fresh ideas or do they come naturally?
Joss: As soon as an idea pops into my head I scribble down
a short premise and pin it to my cork board so I always have something to work
on.
Jan: What
do you love most about your latest release?
Joss: In this book, as well
as the other Ballantyne books, I’ve loved exploring what family means and the
idea of love trumping DNA.
Jan's extra comment: I love your Ballantyne series! Sexy and fun!
Jan's extra comment: I love your Ballantyne series! Sexy and fun!
Jan: What are you currently reading?
Joss: I’ve just finished Linda’s Howard’s Troublemaker.
Now I’m sad. She’s one of my favorite authors and I feel bereft when I finish
her books.
Jan: Do you believe in love at first sight?
Joss: I believe that souls recognize each other but I do
believe that lasting love takes a little effort.
Jan: If you had the skills to be in any other profession,
what would it be?
Joss: Last night I told my husband that if I wasn’t a
writer I’d be someone who went to auctions and would bid on people’s unpaid
storage units. I love junk shops and finding discarded treasures.
Jan: Best vacation you’ve ever taken?
Joss: It’s a toss-up between two weeks Vaughan and I spent
exploring the Greek islands or a holiday with my kids on Lake Malawi. Both were
utterly fantastic.
Jan’s GOTTA ASK: My
hubby works for Tombstone/DiGiorno. What do you like on your pizza?
Joss’s GOTTA ANSWER: Everything that’s weird! Anchovies, spinach, feta…
We can’t buy Tombstone/DiGiorno in South Africa, so if someone could
FedEx me a couple that would be awesome!
Jan's extra comment: I'm guessing they might not make it thru customs:)

ReplyDeleteI love fresh corn on the cob!
DeleteThat is such an African staple! Cooked over hot coals on a braai (our word for barbeque)
DeleteWelcome to the blog, Joss! I'm not sure what the time change is from Kansas to South Africa, but I know you'll eventually get this message. My favorite summertime treat is strawberry pie!
ReplyDeleteI am loving The Ballantyne Billionaires!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summertime treat ... strange as it may sound, FRESH VEGGIES! haha I adore getting to buy fresh corn on the cob, cucumbers, onions, squash, etc. etc. from the farmer's markets. What we get in the grocery store year round is just NOT the same.
Farmer's markets are so awesome! We don't realize what truly fresh food tastes like until summer here in Kansas:)
DeleteThanks Lynne!
