Good morning, romance lovers!

It's the beginning of a brand new week. Last week's rains have led to cooler temperatures, and it's been quite pleasant the past couple of days!

Our Feature for today is:

Finding Love Unexpectedly

While you're here, I'd love to invite you to join my ARC team! It's a great way to get early access to my new releases before anyone else - just click the button at the bottom of this email to sign up. I'd love to have you along for the journey! 📚✨

And speaking of new releases, I am in the process of writing another romance that I hope to have ready in the fall. I'll give you a little spoiler: it deals with a fallen musician/singer/songwriter, and his fall from grace, his battle with overcoming addiction, and the woman who helped him through it. As my writing style suggests - if you've read my other books - I love to "keep it real." Having dealt with members of my own family who faced and overcame addiction, this one hits close to home. Be on the lookout for Broken Chords [tentative title] later this year!

Thanks so much for being here, and I'll catch you in the next newsletter! Enjoy the feature and all the honorable mentions, many are FREE!

Love,

Anna B. 💕

Today's Feature:
(Free with KU)

Five orphaned boys need a home. Is a marriage of convenience the only way to save them?

Anthony Johnson knows what it feels like to be unwanted.
After losing his mother and landing in a boys’ home, he recognizes the fear behind the defiance of four younger boys everyone else has labeled troublemakers, bad boys, and lost causes.

Hannah Bennett has dreams of her own, but when Anthony asks for her help with an impossible plan, walking away isn’t easy.

A marriage of convenience may be the only way to give five orphaned boys a real home and protect them from the danger closing in.
But what will it cost her?

What begins as a practical arrangement slowly becomes something deeper—family, belonging, and a love that teaches them all they are worthy of being chosen

Finding Love Unexpectedly is a clean found family romance with a marriage-of-convenience love story, a protective hero, a strong heroine, slow-burn romance, and emotional healing.

Award-winning and Amazon bestselling author Deanna Lilly writes clean, emotional romance for readers who believe love can heal, hope is never lost, and happily ever after is always worth the wait.

Content Note: This story includes themes of parental loss, abandonment, childhood trauma, foster/orphanage care, and growing up without a safe family. There are no graphic details, but sensitive readers are encouraged to take care.
