BOOK RELEASE DAY - APRIL FOOL'S LOVE - 10 Authors - One Free Book


April Fools Love
An April Fool’s novella collection

What happens when romance collides with April Fool’s Day?

Oh, No, You Didn’t!
Lena Nelson Dooley
Miranda Lawrence’s dream date is ruined when Doug Hamilton pulls an April Fool’s trick on her. Will she ever be able to forgive him?

Where Angels Fear to Tread
Lisa Crane
Quinn Nichols, scarred in a cruel accident, has been hurt one too many times. But Rowan Hart, her cousin’s best friend, sees beyond the scars to the woman Quinn truly is. Can he convince her the eyes of love see a different vision than most men do?

A Fool for Love
Anne Greene
A dream shattered – a love jilted – a heart broken. People change. Is there a second chance for love above the clouds?

Mirror, Mirror
J. A. Marx
Lonely and wounded from a past relationship, Narcisse de Coeur now believes beauty, fame, and gold will help her snare the perfect knight. Her only thorn in the side is her lowly niece who vexes Narcisse with nonsense about God’s love trumping all other loves.

Oliver Deere interviews for the makeup artist position at Narcisse’s unique boutique. Once he learns what really goes on behind the doors of her shop, he changes his mind—until Tawny, the owner’s angelic niece, enters the storefront. Captivated by the girl’s humility and compassion, Oliver is soon caught up in her battle to agape-love Narcisse back into the arms of God.

As Oliver’s affection for Tawny increases, Narcisse’s envy burns. Can genuine love prevail in a setting where “imitations” sell, or does everyone become love’s fool?

April Foolishness
Marji Laine
In college, Michael Minchoit humiliated her on an April Fool’s prank and made her a laughing stock. Now he’s back, handsome, smart, and engaging, but how can she even consider befriending him? Let alone go out with him. And yet that’s exactly what Kate Rylander finds herself doing. Is she doomed to repeat history?

April Fool’s Date
Patricia Pacjac Carroll
Elle Frazier grimaced as she walked up the aisle. Once again, she was a bridesmaid walking. She tried to imagine herself as the bride, but she had no prospects to fill in the groom’s image. How could she be the last one of her college roommates left unmarried?  To add to her rotten mood, she was supposed to be writing the Great American Novel. So far, she had written two words – Chapter One. Oh, and the good news? Tomorrow was April Fool’s Day. She needed a pet. Tomorrow, she’d get a dog.

Nick Lambert didn’t want a wife. He really wasn’t ready to give up his freedom. Of course, the fact that he spent a disproportionate amount of time talking to Dodger, his golden retriever, spoke to the truth of the matter. He was lonely. According to his father, it was time to find the woman he couldn’t live without. Problem was Nick hadn’t found one he wanted to live with. He scratched Dodger behind the ears. “Tomorrow, we’ll go to the dog park. I promise.”

Can two lonely people find true love in a dog park on April Fool’s Day? Or will it amount to only puppy love?

Trading Faces
Sydnie Shreffler
Andy and Callie, identical twin sisters, always used to get a kick out of tricking people and switching places, but in adulthood their tricks have no place amongst rent due, angry bosses, and especially not in romantic relationships. Andy has spent the past five years with a secret not even her twin knows and it’s beginning to take a toll on her. Callie doesn’t notice because, wrapped in her own glittering world of interior designer to the elite, Callie doesn’t care. Stuck in her shadow, Andy is beginning to wither.

When their childhood best friend strolls back into town, now a high-powered attorney from New York and falls for Callie, Andy’s heart breaks all over again. Only Callie doesn’t seem very interested in his advances. Andy’s only chance with the love of her life, her only chance to be first, may be to pretend to be her sister one last time. As Andy falls more in love with her childhood crush by the day, the lines between herself and her twin blur dangerously.

Derek Percy thought he wanted the money and the society pages of life in New York City, but when his finance jilts him in favor of a celebrity, he comes home for the first time in five years, desperate for something real and true. He wants to recreate what he, Callie, and Andy had in childhood and everything seems be falling into place. When he starts to fall for Callie, everything is perfect, until he realizes  Callie and Andy never stopped playing games.

Lies have become second nature and the truth far hidden, but lives and reputations are suddenly at risk, the twins and Derek have to work together to find the truth. 

April Fools In Love

Fool Me Once, Fool Me Twice
Jackie Castle
Sage Dolan glanced at Nikolai Prater and inwardly whined that she’d made the pact in high school with him and her BFF, Moi Tamsyn, that the three of them would be friends forever. Nothing but friends. Yet, when Nikolai returned from the mission trip last year, Sage’s feelings for him exploded and her pact gets harder to keep.

Then on April fool’s day, she receives a letter from a secret admirer. A joke from her twin siblings.

Nikolai's life changed after the mission trip. One thing he has to face is his feelings for Sage. Pact or no pact, he needs to let her know how he feels. Overhearing Sage and Moi talk about how they wished they received real love letters, gives Nikolai the perfect idea. He sends her an anonymous love letter, but instead of  love, he reaps the wild, whirlwind of Sage who is already angry about being made a fool of once and won’t stand for being the fool twice.
