Building a Dream - by Magdalena Scott

Do you love romantic comedy? I do! It's fun to watch the hero and heroine of a book or movie strike sparks off each other. A few of my favorite romantic comedy movies are YOU'VE GOT MAIL, ROMANCING THE STONE, SABRINA, ROMAN HOLIDAY, and AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS.

Chloe McClain and Greg Andrews 

have some of the best chemistry of my characters. 

For a limited time, I'm offering BUILDING A DREAM, Book 4 of The McClains of Legend, Tennessee Series, for just 99 cents. Want to know more about this book bargain?

Chloe McClain needs a classy art gallery, ASAP. She’s invested years of her life, and everything she owns, in the upcoming event that can make or break her career, and possibly give her beloved hometown a much-needed boost. Everyone says the handsome new builder in town is the best one to hire for the job. Once they meet, she wonders how his reputation is so good. The man's personality stinks.

Building contractor Greg Andrews thinks Chloe’s pile of bricks should be put out of its misery. But he's forced to take on the project, or get on the wrong side of the McClain family. His decision has nothing to do with the way Chloe’s eyes sparkle when she’s excited, or the view when she stomps away from him in her snug jeans. Women like her are bad news–he learned that the hard way.

Second Chances, 99 cents - by Magdalena Scott

Spring is a great time for second chances, and renewal of all sorts. I wanted to share with you a 99 cent sale (through April 30th) on one of the books in The McClains of Legend, Tennessee Series.

Anne and Pete's story is what we call a "seasoned romance." In fact, both the hero and heroine are 50+.

~Trying to escape their painful past, 

Anne and Pete move to the middle of nowhere...and find each other.~

Anne McClain Bradley has returned to Legend, Tennessee after a personal tragedy sent her successful, well-ordered life reeling. Midnight Shelby McClain has offered Anne the apartment over The Emporium, and Anne is cautiously hopeful that her heart, and her family connections in Legend, can heal.

Pete Garrity is new in Legend, having been hired as the general manager of The Legend Post-Dispatch by the newspaper's elderly owner. Pete has a past he won't discuss, and hasn't gotten close to anybody in town. As a hideaway, Legend seemed perfect. Now Pete finds himself stuck in Legend with no way out, and worries that his career is finished. What a surprise when Anne Bradley turns up in Legend--she might be just the answer to his dilemma. But every time Anne looks at Pete, she's reminded of the pain she came here to escape.

Legend has a way of healing broken hearts, no matter how longstanding the brokenness. But first one must believe in possibilities...for second chances, and for moving forward with hope.

Intention is out the window - and a free book! - by @MagdalenaScott

I adopted the word "intention" for 2018. As I did so, I could hear distant trumpets announcing my impending super-awesomeness. This, I knew, would be the year I finally checked off all those writing goals I set aside last year and the year before. 

I should have known better.

I filled my big markerboard with chronological, color-coded details of Stuff I Will Do, and When.

Now, when I think about how serious I was, feverishly making all those plans, I nearly break out in hysterical laughter. (It's that or tears, and I'll choose laughter.)

I won't even give you the short list of things that have happened to me in less than three calendar months. Let's just say "intention" isn't working. I erased the "I" word off my markerboard, and then erased everything else too. It felt good.

I'm switching gears. For way too long I've put my real life on hold, chasing that elusive thing called success. 

My new word for 2018? Love.

I've tucked the markerboard away, and instead of making another fancy, self-important list of Stuff I Will Do, and When (cue hysterical laughter) my guideline is much simpler. I'll try to take care of my health, spend time with family and friends, and find ways to make a positive difference. I don't know when I'll get to write another book, but I'm determined to be happy with the squiggly route. (See the road sign above. Although I'm sure it's not the case, that road sign could have been intentionally designed to depict my life.)

  

Now that you've suffered through all that, here's the free book.

Midnight Shelby moved to Legend, Tennessee to start over after life handed her a bushel of lemons. What she found in the close-knit small town was love--from new friends, an adopted family, and a hard-headed local guy who doesn't trust outsiders. Midnight started a business that benefited her and the people in the struggling community.
