Secret Affairs? Does that mean I have a secret to tell? Well, I do have news!

I recently moved back from Mexico to Canada. For those who are unaware, I’m a snowbird, and I spend five months of the year in a 150-year-old casita in an historical city in Mexico. I do the same things there as I do here: write, edit, and go for coffee with friends.  I do go to the beach once in a while, but I’m not a beachy person, really. But coffee with my friends by the ocean—that’s excellent! Also, we enjoyed a bonus to going south this winter: we got first dibs on the total solar eclipse while there this season.

Now I get to see the spring blossoms as I go for walks along the oceans and streets of my historic city here in Canada, plus enjoy a view of the Salish Sea from my loft condo. I love the Japanese cherries and pink chestnut flowers this time of year.

I have exciting news: The Cecilia’s Mismatches series of short novels/novellas will have a third book join An Accomplished Woman and The Reluctant Chaperon on May 3! This one is called Secret Affairs, and it’s Lexie’s story—that’s right, the clever, outspoken, argumentative Lexie who was mismatched to Reeve in Book Two gets another chance! But will Cecilia get it right this time?

You will find a cover reveal and excerpt over at the Meryton Press blog https://merytonpress.com/secret-affairs-by-suzan-lauder/, plus a chance to win an e-book of Secret Affairs for those who leave a comment. I know lots of you are keen to win books! Best of luck! This book is as engaging as the others in the Cecilia’s Mismatches series, so hurry to get your copy of Secret Affairs as soon as it comes out. It’s a stand-alone novella, so you don’t have to have read the others, but you still have time to do so! You can’t go wrong.
