Sneak Peek: Golden Boys

Today we have a sneak peek from the romantic suspense novel by author Amber Green: Golden Boys.

This story opens quietly, with Ethan coming home from his disappointing job only to find his strongly health-conscious mother deep-frying for dinner–a sure omen that painful discussions will follow the blessing.

That my reviews were a con.”

With an expression so sad
The Zon had blocked Santa
