Rose Quartz Series by Catherine Avril Morris

A love festival, an ancient legend, an online Marry Mason contest, and a surprise marriage of convenience... What could possibly go wrong? Plain Janie Adams may be a rule follower, but she’s no fool. When her sleazy boss dangles a promotion in front of her — a dream job producing TV news — she takes off for tiny Rose Quartz, New Mexico, to produce a feature on the town’s annual Valentine’s Day festival... moreA love festival, an ancient legend, an online Marry Mason contest, and a surprise marriage of convenience... What could possibly go wrong? Plain Janie Adams may be a rule follower, but she’s no fool. When her sleazy boss dangles a promotion in front of her — a dream job producing TV news — she takes off for tiny Rose Quartz, New Mexico, to produce a feature on the town’s annual Valentine’s Day festival. Rose Quartz is famous for two things: its successful marriages, and its namesake mines that produce the mystical Love Stone, reputed to keep lovers true. But what starts out as a simple assignment gets outrageously out of hand when sexy Mason Hart enters the picture. Owner of the last mine in town still producing the Love Stone, Mason is annoyingly brash, hotter than hell, and — thanks to a ludicrously antiquated family tradition — in a serious bind: If he doesn’t marry by his thirtieth birthday, just two weeks away, he’ll lose all claim to the family mines and ranch forever. As an old legend resurfaces and Rose Quartz begins to work its magic, life as Janie knows it starts doing cartwheels. Voluntarily abandoning her hometown and what she thought was her perfect job, Janie shocks everyone — especially herself — with an impulsive dive into a marriage of convenience. But as she begins to re-envision the person she thought she was, she realizes her sham of a marriage is truly just a business deal, and her gorgeous husband is nothing but a stranger. Will she end up losing Mason — or will she wind up gaining the life and love of her dreams? MARRY ME TWICE is Book One of the Rose Quartz series.

A bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, determined to make something of himself... Young love gone sour, a secret pregnancy, a tense reunion — and a sweet, sassy little girl with an extra chromosome. Can they pick up the pieces of the past to forge the future of their dreams? Things aren’t always how they appear in tiny Rose Quartz, New Mexico — and no one knows this better than Trixie Belmont. For six years, Trixie has been waiting tables at the local diner and caring for her daughter all on her own. She truly loves her life — especially her sweet, smart, perfect daughter, Cassidy, who happens to have Down syndrome. Everything is rolling along just fine...until Trixie’s safe little world is rocked by bad boy Sam West’s return to the town she thought he’d left behind forever. Only Sam isn’t such a bad boy anymore. In fact, he’s finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a doctor. Part of him knows he’s returned to Rose Quartz to prove himself to everyone who once thought he was trash — but another part knows he’s back for one person and one person only: The former love of his life, Trixie, whom he believes cheated on him with his own brother. Is Sam ready to forgive and forget in the name of love? Is Trixie ready to come clean and reveal the truth — that Sam is father to a special little girl with an extra-special chromosome?
