My local RWA chapter, the New Hampshire group, is sponsoring a ROMANCE BLURB contest this month. Here are all the details for you romance writers out there. First, you don’t have to have a finished manuscript – this is for the blurb only! So don’t panic if you aren’t finished with your book.

Okay, here are the deets:

NHRWA’s 2024 Romance Novel Blurb* Contest

Win a Consultation with a Professional Editor

A select group of romance readers will score your blurb on characters, intrigue, goal, motivation, conflict, and grammar.  The top 10 scored blurbs will be reviewed and scored by three industry professionals – a book publisher, a librarian, and an indie Romance bookstore owner.

The three highest-scoring entrants (from a maximum of 100 entries) will win a short copy review and follow-up consultation ($100 value) with one of these renowned editors:

A #Goodreads Giveaway!

So, in anticipation of book 2 in my Heaven’s Matchmaker series, LOVE MATCH, releasing on 5.21.24, I’ve decided to do a Goodreads giveaway for book 1, MIX & MATCH, to get people up to speed before the new book drops.

This series is comprised of standalone books – you don’t need to read them in order to understand what is going on. But, of course, because I’m a Taurus and very linear-thinking ( LOL ) I always want to read a series in order, standalone or not.

SO.

The giveaway is for 100 kindlecopies and runs from April 1 – April 15. If you haven’t read book 1 yet and have been meaning to, now would be a good time to enter.

Here’s the link to the giveaway again: M&M

Good luck and Happy reading!!! ~ Peg

#goodreads giveaway announcement

Hey kids- popping in here on a Saturday to let you know that I’m running a Goodreads Giveaway from today until March 1st. for copies of my soon-to-be-released suspense/thriller RETRIBUTION.

6 teenage girls have been kidnapped, brutalized, and murdered in the Washington DC area and the FBI’s SPCD Unit – the Sexual Predators of Children Profilers – are nowhere close to finding the monster responsible.   How are the victims chosen? How does the killer find them, contact them, lure them into his sick web? Questions the team has no answers for.

When a high-ranking US Senator’s daughter is the next victim, SPCD team leader, Tucker Petrie, is forced to call upon retired profiler — and his last partner — Kella O’Brien for help. Kella’s been out of the game for 10 years, but her expertise and insights into a serial killer’s mind are unparalleled. If anyone can discover who this madman is, it’s Kella.

But as the team rushes to prevent another young girl’s death, clues the killer leaves behind have Kella wondering if his endgame is all about…her.

You can enter the giveaway portal here, GIVEAWAY, for a chance to win.

I’d really appreciate it if you could add the book to your WANT TO READ list, too. Here’s where you’ll find that button if you’re not familiar with it:

The book releases on 4.23.2024 and the giveaway ends March 1. Good luck and even if you don’t win a copy, I hope you will preorder it. Early reviews and opinions of the story have been amazing and I’ll be sharing them soon.

Be well, and thanks, kids. ~ Peg

FIXING CHRISTMAS is an NN Light’s Christmas in July Book Fete choice! #holidayromance #giveaway

Calling all holiday-themed readers! It’s more than evergreens and twinkly lights at N. N. Light’s Book Heaven’s sixth annual Christmas in July Fête. 46 Christmas, Hanukkah and holiday-themed books featured plus a chance to win a $75 Amazon (US or Canada) gift card.

I’m thrilled to be a part of this event. My book, FIXING CHRISTMAS, is featured today. Wait until you read what I love most about the holidays. You won’t want to miss it.

Christmas has never filled writer Abra Charles with undiluted pleasure. If you’d been left on a doorstep on Christmas Eve morning, you might have a few issues with the holiday as well.

Abra’s avoided her hometown of Dickens for the past twenty Christmas seasons, but now she’s returned in an attempt to get her writing mojo back. Twice-divorced and with her third engagement ending in heartbreak, anger, and blackmail, Abra is now six months behind on submitting her current book. She hopes renting Copperfield House and immersing herself in solitude will cure her writer’s block and get her life back on track. The house she rents isn’t helping her achieve her goal, though, as one thing after another breaks, collapses, or floods.

Colton Bree, Dickens’ very own Mr. FixIt, can’t help but wonder if the new resident of Copperfield House is cursed. After being called to repair a broken window, he’s then needed to fix an exploding coffeepot, an overrunning toilet, and a washing machine that has a mind of its own. Bree doesn’t mind all the unexpected repair jobs, though, because the sexy renter is something to look at despite being a little neurotic and a whole lot of snarky.

Can Abra get her book done with all the distractions and craziness of her life, the biggest distraction being the flannelled hunk with the bedroom eyes and scowling yet oh-so-kissable mouth? Or will Dickens’ Mr. FixIt have to step in and save the day and in so doing, fix Christmas for Abra forever?

ANGEL KISSES & HOLIDAY WISHES ( A Dickens Holiday Romance)

Can a first love be rekindled when the past is filled with heartache?

After a personal tragedy, Sage Hamilton left the town she’d grown up in and the boy she’d given her heart to. With a vow never to return, Sage forged on with her life in order to forget the sadness of her past.

Keith Mills loved Sage from the first moment he spotted her ambling down the hallway of their middle school. And she’d felt the same about him. Or so he’d thought until she’d walked away from everything they’d meant to one another with a tearful and rushed goodbye.

But now, eighteen years later, she’s back and, as the town’s new doctor, it looks like she’s staying. Can Keith put the hurt of Sage’s dismissal to bed for good? And will she want to rekindle the love that had burnt so bright all those years ago?

A #Kindleunlimited Bonanza from @Bookthrone

I am so thrilled to be part of this Kindle Unlimited Book Bonanza!

Two of my books – Mix & Match and The Sheriff & the Psychic are both available thru KU everyday and if you read them and let Bookthrone know – you could Win A 2-Year Kindle Unlimited Membership + A $250 Amazon Gift Card. The rules are below but it’s fast and easy!!!

MIX AND MATCH ( HEAVEN’S MATCHMAKER book 1)

Divorced and lonely, nurse Jasmine Green retains the services of Heaven, NH’s very own successful matchmaker, Olivia Joyner. The bar scene and dating apps give Jasmine hives and Liv’s reputation is stellar. If anyone can help guide her through the quagmire that dating has become, Olivia can.

Architect Donovan Boyd is ready to settle down. He wants the kind of marriage his parents have; long lasting, filled with love, children, and joy. But even after a year of living and working in Heaven, he’s still considered an outsider by many. Finding the type of woman he’s looking for is hard in the tight-knit community. Retaining Olivia Joyner to help him find his forever love is one of the smartest things he’s done, especially after she sets him up with Jasmine Green.

But the red-haired, green-eyed beauty wants a different kind of marriage from the one Donovan considers ideal.

Can these two strong-willed people learn to compromise so they can both find their happily ever after? Or will their relationship forever be relegated to the friend zone?

THE SHERIFF & THE PSYCHIC ( Welcome to Renewal, book 1)

Police Psychic Silvestra Coeltrain comes to Renewal, OK to visit with old friends and to heal. After a year in which she was tested physically, mentally, and psychically, all she wants to do is sleep, fish, and bask in the tranquility of the sleepy town.

Sheriff Caleb Blackbear doesn’t understand the feelings he’s quickly developing for Renewal’s newest visitor. She responds to his kisses with a passion that equals his own. But she’s an enigma, filled with secrets and evasions, and he’s a suspicious man.

When several of the local ranches begin losing cattle to a mysterious illness, it’s Silvestra who claims the animals are being methodically targeted and killed. As Cal’s investigation zeros in on who and what could be slaying the animals, the murder of a prominent rancher’s daughter – and Cal’s former lover – complicates things. With Silvestra’s life now in danger, Cal is determined to keep her safe at any cost.

2 Goodreads Giveaways: 1 ending soon!

Just stopping in to remind everyone in the US about my 2 current Goodreads Giveaways.

I’m offering a chance to win 1 of 5 print copies of my steamy romance for Limitless publishing, DIRTY DAMSELS. The giveaway ends Monday, March 21, so if you haven’t entered yet, now is the time to.

What if Cynderella had a one-night stand with a man named Prince?

When I first saw Cynderella all covered in soot in that sexy maid uniform, I knew I wanted to be her Prince. She’s a smart and savvy businesswoman who’s built her cleaning company from the ground up. But now that Dirty Damsels was booming, I’ve been hired to arrange a hostile takeover.

The temptation of having her was too much to ignore… We ended up spending one night together–a night neither of us will forget.

Now, I want more. I need more. I want to spend every night, skin-on-skin, with my beautiful Ella.

Problem is, when she finds out who I really am, she’ll never forgive me.

The second giveaway that just started is for book 2 in the WILL COOK FOR LOVE series, A SHOT AT LOVE I’m also giving away 5 print copies of this sexy romance that features my first bad assed heroine, Gemma Laine. I lovelovelove Gemma and think you will, too! This contest is open until 3.31.

Nothing’s impossible when love is on the menu. In Peggy Jaeger’s luscious series, the only thing more tempting than a delicious meal is a truly delectable romance . . .

Photographer Gemma Laine is looking for arresting faces on the streets of Manhattan when her camera captures something shocking—a triple murder. In that moment, she becomes a target for the mob—and a top priority for a very determined, breathtakingly handsome, FBI special agent. With deadlines to meet and photo shoots on her calendar, Gemma chafes at the idea of protection, but every moment she spends under his watchful eye is a temptation to lose herself in his muscular arms . . .
 
With two of his men and one crucial witness dead, Special Agent Kyros Pappandreos can’t afford to be distracted. But Gemma is dazzling—and her connection to Kandy Laine’s high-profile cooking empire makes her an especially easy mark for some very bad people. Keeping her safe is much more pleasure than business, but as the heat between them starts to sizzle, Ky is set to investigate whether they have a shot at love . . .

I hope you enter both!! Good luck and remember – you gotta be in it to win it!!! ~ Peg
