“So, no problems on the way home?” he asked, turning to face us.
“Nope. We got away clean.”
“And that?” he jerked his thumb at the back.
I cringed slightly. “He had an…” I glanced over at Eli for the best wording.
“An adverse reaction to the mummy.”
“Right,” I nodded.
“Like…he touched it and broke out in hives?”
“Don’t even say that shit,” Eli said quickly, keeping his voice low. “He already thinks we’re all under some ancient Egyptian curse. We don’t need to put any more thoughts in his head.”
Cash crossed his arms over his chest and looked at us inquiringly. “And why does he think he’s under a curse?”
I snorted, not even sure how to answer that. “He just started freaking out because we made him sit in the back with the sarcophagus. Then he started reading out ancient curses and it spiraled out of control from there.”
“So…nothing actually happened.”
I shot a look over at Eli, remembering the locusts. Scratching the back of my head, I told him what happened. “Well…when we left the safe house, there might have been a swarm of locusts, and he may have been under the influence of some drugs that may have led him to believe that the swarm was a hell of a lot bigger than it was.”
“How big was it?” he asked, his brows furrowed.
I shrugged lightly, but it was Eli that stepped in. “No more than a ten mile radius.”
“Fifteen at best,” I added.
“That’s…not a swarm. A swarm is literally like…around your head. Christ, no wonder he flipped out. And you hogtied him in the back of the van.”
“What the hell were we supposed to do? He was freaking out.”
“And then you laid him next to the fucking mummy,” he huffed. “Good work. You made your teammate go insane,” he said, clapping us both on the shoulders. “Remind me to never go on a mission with you again.”
He turned to leave. “Hey!” Eli shouted. “What the hell are we supposed to do with the sarcophagus?”
“Why don’t you put it in your room and sleep with it for the night. See how you feel in the morning,” he shouted over his shoulder.
I looked at Eli, still not sure what we were supposed to do with the fucking thing. “So…your room?”





SWEETEST REMINDER, Lavender Falls Book Two by Cary Hart is releasing on Jan 19th!
Pre-Order available now: https://amzn.to/3Rn6Yg3
Cover Designer: Sarah Paige

If life has taught me anything it’s that family is everything… a lesson I learned a little too late.
Leaving Lavender Falls after the accident wasn’t about running away from the people I loved, it was about outrunning my grief… or at least trying to.
Moving on felt like forgetting, but starting over felt like betrayal.
I tried both.
And I failed.
Now I’m back for another funeral, but this time I’m not a scared teenager with nothing to lose, I’m a single mom with everything on the line. Including my heart.
The past has a funny way of sneaking up on you… every nook and cranny of this small town is overflowing with memories and what could have beens. Including Eli Evans—my sweetest reminder.
I didn’t see it then, back when I loved his brother. Not even when he picked up the pieces and dried my tears after his Ollie died. But I see it now, in the way he looks at me. Eli is helping me repair more than just the rundown cottage I inherited.
Life isn’t picture perfect, but falling for him brings on a fresh wave of guilt. I just hope the secrets I’ve been keeping don’t damage our second chance.

Zoey
I would do anything for my sister. That includes pretending to be her on a cruise so she can stay behind and spy on her cheating husband.
My job? Take over her Instagram and enjoy myself.
But my tropical holiday becomes anything but relaxing, once I meet Sebastian Greer. Pain in the ass extraordinaire. A desperate man who can only be looking for one thing – to hook up with all the single women he can find on the ship.
Unfortunately, Sebastian seems to be everywhere I go. And the thing is, the more I run into him, the more I realize that maybe I was wrong about him after all.
Sebastian
Seducing a beautiful woman on a cruise? Sounds like a dream come true, right?
Wrong.
I’m not here to fall in love or even hook up. I’m here to catch a cheater.
That’s right, my boss thinks his wife is unfaithful, and it’s my job to prove it.
There’s just one problem…the more I get to know my target, the harder I find it to fight these unexpected feelings for her.
When she confesses that she’s not who I think she is, I’m pissed – even though I’ve been lying to her too.
With tensions flying high, we’re both sick of this ship. The end of the cruise can’t come soon enough. But after we disembark, no matter how much I want to forget her, I can’t. The question remains: could we overcome our secrets and have a future together, or did our ship already sink?

About Mari Sol

Mari Sol writes romantic comedy that’s been described as somewhere between Hallmark movies and the SNL skits about Hallmark movies. (Okay, it was her. She described them that way). Her capable, assertive, and sometimes sarcastic female leads are adventurous and quirky, and the men who fall for them are absolutely worth your (er, their) time. Her Halloween book, “Romance is Dead” hit #6 on Amazon for Holiday Romance and features a very cinnamon-roll hero.
As most people do, Mari started writing Rom Coms when she was a stressed out corporate director and needed the escape. Her books will send you somewhere fun, like a tropical beach (or a haunted theme park) for some relaxing self care time. She loves the juicy bits – yes, all the bits – but she believes in making healthy relationships hot, so her juice will be made with kale, and probably a cucumber or two.
And don’t worry, you can definitely trust her expertise in the romance and comedy department. She’s been married… and divorced. After time for healing followed by an explosive rebound, she’s been on the apps since le divorce, and has enough first dates under her belt (no, not that way) to obviously know everything about affairs of the heart.
In addition to her “book research,” Mari has been a corporate strategist, a fashion designer, and a data nerd. She’s from Maine, has lived in six different countries and four American cities, recently went on a multi-month journey down Central America, and is currently about half nomadic.
Find her online at www.marisolwrites.com. (Pst! There’s a free, fun, summer-fling story waiting for you there.)

SWEETEST LINE, Lavender Falls Book One by Cary Hart is releasing on Oct 6!
Pre-Order: https://amzn.to/3Bg9KPs Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3RIOeIL
Cover Designer: Sarah Paige

If the past nine months have taught me anything: what happens in Mason Creek doesn’t always stay in Mason Creek…
I’m back home in Lavender Falls.
Single.
Pregnant.
And craving ice cream around the clock thanks to a one-night stand with a sexy bartender I left back in Montana.
Two little pink lines turned my whole world upside down—and nothing in the pregnancy books prepared me for running into my unsuspecting “baby daddy” in the middle of town square.
Of course, he isn’t here for me. He couldn’t be. He never responded to my messages. No, Toby is in town filming a new television series about a single father. Talk about the universe having a funny sense of humor.
Now I just have to figure out if he’s ready to play the most important role of his real life: dad.
