One of the side trips that we took after the fabulous Coastal Magic Conference was to the fascinating Navy Seal Museum in Fort Pierce. It was absolutely amazing and filled with the history of the Seals, their various missions, equipment, and the sacrifices made by the Seals on behalf of this country and all of us. It was moving at times, especially since I’ve written so many books with military men, including some Navy Seals. One of those stories with a Navy Seal is Stay the Night, my military romance about a hero who has come home after six years of being deployed to a wife he doesn’t recognize anymore. It’s one of my fav stories because it’s not only sexy, it’s emotional and thought-provoking. That’s why I contributed that story to the Strength & Honor charity anthology which is raising money for the Stop Soldier Suicide organization. Before I share my photos from the Seal Museum, here’s a little blurb for the anthology!
Join 11 NYT, USA Today, and award-winning authors in helping to stop soldier suicide by picking up your copy of this uplifting and emotional anthology. The Strength & Honor anthology contains 11 short stories featuring military heroes battling their inner demons and finding their happily ever after. The anthology releases on 5/7/2024.

Real estate agents will tell you that location is everything when choosing a home. Readers are a little more forgiving thankfully! I know many of you like stories set on ranches or the Pacific Northwest. I took a risk to set my new series in Florida and places like Miami and the Everglades and hope you’ve been enjoying those locations in the South Beach Security series. But that made me think about some out-of-the-world locations literally. I haven’t set any stories in space like my friend and fellow author K.M. Fawcett, but I have had some in the ocean like The Shifter’s Kiss. That makes me wonder if you’d ever read books either set in outer space or in the deep sea. Which of those would you choose or if not, what other location do you like seeing in your books!
Who doesn’t love cowboys and romance? Seriously, I always love a good cowboy story and we’re lucky today because my fellow Harlequin author Tanya Agler is here to share a little bit about her new sweet contemporary romance featuring a cowboy! Welcome Tanya and take a moment to share what are some of your fav romantic comedies!
Hello! I’m Tanya Agler, and I write sweet contemporary romances, nine of which have been published by Harlequin Heartwarming, including my latest release, Her Temporary Cowboy. A huge thank you to Caridad for having me for Takeover Tuesday this week!
I’m a big fan of romantic comedies. One plot twist in some rom-coms is how a misunderstanding rolls out of control and creates a series of events with each scene adding to the confusion and character stakes. I love a good misunderstanding in both movies, television shows, and books. One of my favorite movies is While You Were Sleeping, and I love how Lucy saves Peter and then a tossed-aside comment becomes the basis for the Callaghan family to believe she’s engaged to Peter. It’s not until the wedding that Lucy is finally able to muster her courage to tell the truth. In Her Temporary Cowboy, Lucky Harper wants one thing: he desperately wants to get out of attending the wedding of his best friend’s father to a world-famous singing superstar. In the space of two days and a host of misunderstandings, Lucky goes from reluctant guest to the groom’s daughter’s plus-one to an usher. When Lucky and Elizabeth get together, more misunderstanding ensues until they find themselves in a delicious dilemma.
Here’s a snippet from Lucky and Elizabeth’s story:
“I insist you attend my wedding. It’s the least I can do. It won’t be any trouble adding an extra seat. Elizabeth’s not bringing anyone to the wedding. You can be my personal guest.”
Elizabeth blanched at her father’s observation, while her brother burst out laughing.
Lucky tugged at his T-shirt. It was getting harder by the second to find some graceful way out of staying. He didn’t belong at such a fancy event. “Elizabeth? I could really use your help.”
What was he doing, expecting someone he’d only known for a few hours to read his mind and come up with a convenient excuse for his departure?
“He can’t be your personal guest,” Elizabeth blurted out. Color flooded her cheeks.
Lucky let out the breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. This wedding was an important family occasion. Thankfully, someone had seen sense. He was already counting the minutes until he was on the road.
“Because he’s already my plus-one.”
