I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Title: Storm the Castle
Series: Marry the Scot, #1
Author: Jolie Vines
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 14, 2019 Cover Designer: Natasha Snow Designs Editing: Emmy Ellis from Studio ENP
"Come, lass. Get on a plane with me."
After a business deal goes awry, Laird Callum McRae is in over his head, struggling to keep his castle afloat. He knows exactly what he has to do to save his family of brothers. Collecting a debt from the corrupt man who swindled him is his only mission. But when he meets a compassionate and determined woman, his plans change.
Now, he needs to get the girl while confronting her father...
Mathilda Storm will do anything for her sister—even if it means entering into a contract for a loveless marriage. After all, it will solve her family's problems. But she doesn't count on meeting a broad-shouldered, rugged Scottish laird. And resisting him is harder than she imagined. As the chemistry between Callum and Mathilda ignites, Mathilda is torn between her desire and her need to help her family. Can the practical daughter marry the Scot without losing her heart along the way?

In response, she dragged the silver strap of her dress over one shoulder. It fell short of exposing her, but a wave of heat and adrenaline engulfed me. I breathed out through my nose and commanded, “Get back on the chair.” Mathilda’s lips parted but she did as I asked, perching on the edge of the ski lodge’s curved armchair. Then I dropped to my knees in front of her and she squeaked. “I’ve wanted you for such a long time,” she confessed, reaching out a hand to trail over my shoulder. Mapping me. I placed my palms on her knees then slid them up her thighs, taking her satin dress with me. Baring those long legs I’d obsessed over from the moment we’d met. Finally, after weeks of denying myself thoughts like these, I let my eyes take their fill. Of smooth thighs, of the outline of the black lace I glimpsed where I pushed her dress higher. Christ, I was ready to explode just from the sight of her underwear. Mathilda cupped my chin and held it, forcing me to look at her. “Go slow.” She glanced down to where my cock tented my boxers. “I’d wondered if every part of you was in proportion. I’m glad it’s not just your castle that has an impressive tower.” I fought back a smile. “I’m glad to say I’m not lacking. Either in castle or cock.” With that, she leaned in and laid her sweet lips on mine.

The votes are in, but their hearts are on the line.


As a member of Love’s most prominent family, Helena Davis enjoys traveling the world as a corporate lawyer. When she loses her job and her father suffers a stroke, Helena is forced to return to Love to take care of him. To keep the family’s influence intact, he asks her to take his place in the upcoming election for his vacant council seat. It shouldn’t be a challenge. But this time, there’s a real contender – her ex-boyfriend, Sean.


Sean Dixon thought he’d seen the last of Helena when she turned down his marriage proposal and left town years ago. Now that she’s back and so sure of her victory, he’s determined to win that seat on the council. The people of Love are tired of the Davis family’s corrupt politics. He’ll prove to her that he’s more than just a history teacher and widowed single father. Even if it takes uncovering family secrets and some good, old-fashioned blackmail.

Will his plan backfire? Or could it rekindle a fire between them that never quite burned out?

Fen
When the girl that got away ten years ago comes back to town and needs help, sometimes you have to throw yourself in her path in order to be seen. Even if it means pretending not to have any feelings for her. Oh yeah, and pretending to be blissfully married to her. Maybe while we’re busy pretending, I can show her what she really means to me and convince her to stay.

Frances
I have no intention of settling back home in Love, Georgia. But when Granddaddy gets sick, I drop everything to take care of him. When I’m forced to marry someone to make him happy in his last days, I think twice but I do it anyway. Unfortunately, the only man willing is the guy that caused me to run away from this small town in the first place. And if I’m really being honest, pretending to be married won’t be simple when he’s easy on the eyes and sweeter than Granddaddy’s sweet tea.

Noah


I need the money. Now. It's not my fault that the bed and breakfast Grandpa Jay left me is a giant failure. My only hope is to sell the place and cash in on what little it has to offer. The only problem? I have to convince her, my grandpa's pseudo-grandchild, that it's a good idea too. And she's even more stubborn than I am.

Beau

Nope. There ain't no way I'm gonna uproot my two-year-old daughter by sellin' the only home she's ever known for an entitled city boy unwillin' to give his granddaddy's bed and breakfast a chance of thrivin'. Jay, why did you have to partner me up with him? He's even more stubborn than I am!

Nick


The day I met Molly Murphy was riddled with moments where it felt like common sense was yelling at me to stay away from the knock out redhead. Her sassy little mouth had me hooked. Her plump lips and sharp tongue made me think of all unsavory things I could do with both.


I know what you’re thinking, what could have possibly derailed such an immediate attraction? A couple of things, actually. She was born the same year I started high school, for one. The bigger issue, however, is her boss. Turns out that prick, is me. The second that I found out I sign her pay checks, she became off limits.


So, imagine my surprise when I hear that I’ve been banging her harder than a screen door in a hurricane. In a small town like Love Georgia, the rumor mill practically supplies the town’s electricity. I resisted temptation for a year, but now I don’t think I can fight it anymore. Hell, if everyone is already talking about us, why not make it true?

In the game of love, there are winners and losers, especially for those that play for keeps.
Two peas in a pod…
Bethany and Cody have been best friends since kindergarten. As they grew up, there were rumors, in the small town of Love Georgia, that they were more than just friends. Cody didn’t mind the town gossip, because secretly it was true. He was in love with his best friend. Unfortunately, it was a secret he chose to keep to himself, after Bethany accepted a scholarship and moved to California. 
Long distance friendship…
Living on separate coasts didn’t keep the two friends from staying in touch. Bethany could always count on Cody to be there for her and give her support and advice. As the years passed, Bethany began to realize just how much she missed her family and friends, especially her best friend, Cody. Through messages, phone calls and occasional visits, Bethany starts to wonder if her feelings for Cody run much deeper than friendship.
Reunited once again…
Bethany returns to her hometown, after accepting a teaching job at Love Elementary School. Now that the two friends are reunited, they have the perfect opportunity to admit their true feelings for each other. Unfortunately for Cody, timing is everything. When Bethany starts dating her high school crush and his good friend, Austin Newberry, he realizes he may be losing his chance. Will Cody be willing to let Bethany go without a fight once again? Or will fighting, for the girl of his dreams, cost him both of his friends?

I first noticed him in Lover’s Landing coffee house simply because he was a hot guy wearing a cowboy hat. But then… as I came back each morning for coffee, I started to notice he did the exact same routine, at the exact same time, every single day. I’ve determined from the coffee-to-go he orders, that his name is Holden. The other patrons, who are all locals of Love, Georgia, seem to know and understand whatever it is Holden does each morning. They leave him alone to his routine, and his table. Every single day.


Until this day. This Valentine’s Day that I decide to sit at his table and see where the fireworks go. And yes, he’s annoyed… but eventually he sits with me at his special table, because for some reason it’s that important to him. I know there are’s reasons behind the routine. This precise ritual. What or why, I have no idea, but finding out—now—seems like just the thing to do while I’m in Love.


I’m here in my capacity as a corporate lawyer to a large firm that wants to bring a themed water park and resort to the outskirts of town. The citizens don’t want this eyesore, that they feel will take away from their slice of hometown America. I simply have a job to do. But as long as I’m here, a bit of the town pariah, why not figure out what Holden’s issues are?


Little do I expect,… the journey into the why behind Holden’s routine, also starts to become the why behind how deeply I start to care for him, and why I don’t want to leave Love. But the why is also the greatest obstacle to there ever being more than just morning coffee for us.
