Beneath these washboards abs and designer clothing lies a complicated corporate mogul full of secrets- Grant Fontaine. Outward appearances aside, Grant prefers solitude and isolation to high society dinners and business deals.  That is, until circumstances find him escorting one super-sassy, driven, and highly successful Alyssa Stark, to a social function.  As the story unfolds, Grant and Alyssa find comfort in each other, which includes a sensual nightcap filled with desire.  The stakes are high for Grant. If crossing the boundaries of a professional relationship into a personal one weren’t enough, Grant carries the baggage of losing his wife to a tragic accident a decade earlier. She was pregnant at the time.

 

Alyssa is new to the big city of New York, a transplant from the Midwest in search of a new life, and a fresh start for her and her young daughter, Caroline. This is where Larsen’s story-telling mastery is really showcased.  Alyssa and her daughter are no strangers to Grant.  He’s kept a watchful eye on them from a distance via a private investigator after he discovered that Caroline is his child, conceived via a sperm donation he provided to a clinic years ago when he was struggling and needed money.

 

His plan was always simple.  Keep tabs on Alyssa and Caroline, ensure they are safe and well cared for (he’s been known to pull a few strings) and emotionally torture himself over a life that might have been. When Alyssa moves into Grant’s city and makes a business offer he can’t refuse, sparks fly and romance sizzles between the two.  Grant and Caroline quickly form a bond , catching her “parents” by surprise and keeping them on their toes.  The intense moment when Alyssa discovers the truth about Grant and his connection to her is extremely well played. 

 

Random Moon Books is fortunate to call Laurie Larsen one of our own. We hope you enjoy discovering Grant Fontaine’s Hidden Agenda…  Available NOW on all e-reader formats, and coming in May in paperback.

Our Newest Random Moon Books Release...

You’ll get pulled in by the dynamite cover; you’ll get hooked on the story. Leta Gail Doerr’s contemporary romance For The Love Of Big Orange has just the right sprinkling of humor on top of the deep emotions folded into a tale about love lost, family, and the bonds that tie us together.

Lacie Joe Jensen’s past haunts her. Passed from foster home to foster home as a child, she finally lands at age 12 at the home of Judge Rudy, who gives her “one last chance.” It’s here, in the rolling countryside of Sagebrush, Kentucky, that Lacie Joe blossoms.

It’s also where she meets Jay Hayworth, whose friendship builds to so much more. Their future together looks bright and then . . . tragedy strikes. Lacie Joe flees from everything she holds dear with one exception—her 1980 orange Chevrolet pickup truck, her one tie to the world she loved.

Lacie Joe makes a new life in Lexington, Kentucky. She’s convinced that she can shut herself off from the past by focusing only on the future. But some bonds can’t be broken. When Judge Rudy’s health takes a turn for the worse, Lacie Joe returns to Sagebrush to care for the man who didn’t give up on her. Returning, of course, means facing the demons she left behind, including her feelings for the even-more handsome Jay Hayworth. 

The story is a wonderful exploration of what love means to each of us and the sacrifices we make for it. The powerful attraction between Lacie Joe and Jay blends well with the beauty and wholesome setting of the Kentucky countryside. You’ll want to move to Sagebrush by the end of the book. And that big orange truck? Well . . . orange may be my new favorite color!

Books To Read

I don’t know what to say, except it’s Christmas and we’re all in misery.

~ Ellen Griswold, Christmas Vacation

I don’t know about you, but for me, the holidays create their unique brand of crazy—not that I’d trade it for anything.

Aside from making me pull out my hair, the season gets me thinking about Christmases past, and that lends itself to thinking about the past in general, and then I get melancholy about the good old days ... with none of that is caused by over-imbibing in alcohol. It’s just the season.

This year’s melancholia got me thinking about the tomes that molded my youth and then moved me on into the horrible ‘tween years and eventually into early adulthood. It took some big-time cutting, but here’s my top five list, in age order:

·   Green Eggs And Ham - This book has three big pluses. It was the first book I read by myself, it’s by Dr. Seuss—a certifiable genius, and my nickname was Sam. We’re not sure where the nickname came from. My dad gave it to me, and it stuck like spaghetti on the ceiling. I am Sam!

·   Little Bear - I remember my mom giving me my first Little Bear hardback. Written by Elsa Holmelund Minarik, it was the first-ever I can read book—no doubt the offshoot of the 1950’s “Why Johnny Can’t Read” scare that terrified parents into believing their kids would be stuck in third grade for six years. I really got into Little Bear and his buddies Owl, Cat, Hen, Duck, and Emily. Weird that only Emily got a real name, but whatever. Of special note—Maurice Sendak illustrated the Little Bear series.

·   The Cricket In Times Square - Apparently, I liked stories about animals because they dominated my bookshelves. This one also has the token child hanging out with the critters. In this one, a cricket named Chester leaves his Connecticut home and ends up in New York City. He discovers he has a hidden talent; at some point in life, don’t we all?

·   A Wrinkle In Time - I was totally sucked in by Meg Murray, her odd little brother Charles Wallace, and her friend Calvin O’Keefe. With the book’s time travel and the amazing IT, this was my first venture into the sci-fi world. The book is not only a standout story for me, it helped me through a hideous bout of the chickenpox. A late bloomer—I got them in junior high and was so sick I missed two weeks of school. What would I have done without Meg and her clan?

·   To Kill A Mockingbird - If you’re a reader...and you probably are if you’re reading this...there’s one book out there that whopped you right between the eyes and changed you forever. For me, that book is To Kill A Mockingbird. Hands down, the best book written, ever.

Of course, none of us is the same. I’m sure you’ve got a few defining favorites buzzing around your brain, too. Don’t be stingy—please share!
