Second Chance Bride by Trish Morey, is a Contemporary Romance available April 8, 2014 from Tule Publishing.
I have to be honest, when I read the blurb for Second Chance Bride, Trish had me at flaky. lol
It's not a term used very often to describe the heroin of a romance. But to me flaky = fun and that is a great start to any romance. Plus, toss in a handsome hero with an irresistible Aussie accent and BAM!! you've got yourself a winner.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT****
Trish will award a $20 Amazon GC to one randomly drawn commenter during the tour.

SECOND CHANCE BRIDE
by Trish
Morey
Scarlett Buck has always been flaky in comparison to her sensible
twin sister Tara, so nobody is really surprised when Scarlett spends all her
money on a one way ticket to Australia to be with the man she’s met on the Net.
But she hasn’t reckoned on the guy already being married, or her mom getting
sick, and now she needs money for a flight home to Marietta, MT—quick. Signing
on with Bella's Belles in Kalgoorlie isn't be the proudest moment in her life
but it will get her home fast. After all, it's just sex.
Or is it?
Mitch
Bannister's ex is about to marry his best friend, and he could really do with a
cold beer and a hot woman. But the cowgirl he takes a shine to at Bella's is
surprisingly skittish, and in the end he leaves without hooking up.
Later,
when Mitch spies the cowgirl in the local pub begging for a job, he shrinks
into the shadows--he's not looking for complications, and something tells him
that Scarlett Buck is a whole handful of them.
But soon it's clear she's not just trouble, she's in trouble, and like
it or not, he's not about to turn his back on this stray from the States.
Especially if she can do him a favor in return. After all, it's just a helping
hand.
Or is it?
Excerpt
They had
Chinese food in a restaurant nearby, honey shrimp—except they were called
prawns here—and crispy duck with fried rice washed down with an almost local
Margaret River white wine. The food was small-town Chinese restaurant good, and
Mitch talked about his fly-in fly-out job at the mines, about the fourteen day
shifts filled with twelve hour work days and big meals in the mess and maybe a
swim before bed and then getting up the next day to do it all over again.
Scarlett listened and crunched shrimp tails between her teeth and sucked honey
off her fingers and thought that maybe it wasn’t such a crazy idea that she’d
come to Australia after all, or she would never have known about any of this
kind of lifestyle.
Or more
importantly, that otherwise she would never have met Mitch. Maybe she should
send Travis a thank-you postcard from Broome? She was halfway tempted.
And Mitch
watched a woman who could follow his every word and ask questions while eating
with gusto and relish and who wasn’t afraid to get her fingers dirty in the
process. And he liked it. A lot.
When she
licked her fingers clean, he wished she’d offered them to him first.
And then he
smacked his lustful thoughts down hard. He was trying to help her out. Offer
her a solution to her problems, so that whatever was bothering her would
disappear.
At least,
that had been his intention.
Now that she
was coming with him to Broome he wasn’t so sure of his motives. She was fun. A
breath of fresh air into his highly regulated existence. A temporary cowgirl
for a short-term problem.
And while sex
wasn’t part of their deal, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t welcome it if it
happened. He wasn’t looking for commitment but where was the risk? She was
going home in a few days. And they were going to be sharing a villa after all.
Sure, it was a big villa. Loads of space for two.
Loads and
loads of space.
And one
really big bed.
