Excerpt

Undercover travel writer Alexandra Tulane wonders if maybe she's in way over her head. A men's hunting and fishing retreat in the wilds of Alaska? Not exactly her stylish scene. Fortunately, there's plenty of breathtaking scenery...including good-looking bush pilot Dylan Bower.

Despite the magnetic attraction between them, however, Alexandra is everything Dylan is not--she's a rover, always looking for the next adventure. For Dylan, the scars of the past run deep. He's hidden himself and his silent son in an isolated haven for their protection. Yet Alexandra engages both of them and soon they're under her spell. This--she--feels so good Dylan doesn't want it to end. So how can he convince her to stay?

"SHE'S THE ONE (4) by Kay Stockham: When travel writer Alexandra Tulane visits an Alaskan lodge for an assignment, she meets writer Dylan Bower, who's hiding out at his father's lodge after the death of his wife in a fire, amid accusations of murder. Determined to keep both his young son Colt and himself safe, Dylan has been living at the lodge for close to two years, rejecting nearly all contact with the outside world. Although in love with Dylan, Alex refuses to enable his desire to hide away. Dylan and Alex's feelings and motivations ring true. Stockham's well-drawn characters have much that appeals, and her excellent description gives readers a bird's-eye view of Alaska." - Romantic Times Book Reviews

"From the uniquely teasing way Ms. Stockham grabbed my attention on the first page to the last tear-jerking sentence, I was hooked and reading. Original plot, breathtaking settings and interesting characters keep the reader involved in SHE’S THE ONE, a splendid finale to the Tulanes of Tennessee series. It will be sad to say good-bye to the rowdy family-loving characters in this series but it is lightened by the anticipation of more heart-warming novels yet to come from the talented pen of award winning author Kay Stockham." - Cataromance

"Kay Stockham writes gratifying heartfelt romances. She spins a fabulous story in this final installment of the Tulanes of Tennessee, and let me say Alexandra's story was worth the wait. Alexandra, being the only girl has had to put up with a lot of stuff, and thus has earned her independence and the right to always search for that next thrill, that next exotic place, yet she has finally felt the pull of those familial strings and quite possibly the urge to settle down. Dylan struggles with the emotional scars that not only affect him but his son, and he finally has found someone who can accept him without seeing all that extra baggage. While their bond is mutual, there are huge obstacles that need to be cleared out of the way. Ms. Stockham delivers a powerful punch that could blow this relationship apart. SHE'S THE ONE reaffirms that the ties that bind us to one another are way too hard to sever, and that no matter how hard you stretch them they will bring you back to the ones you love." - Melissa Kammer - NovelTalk

"SHE'S THE ONE is an emotionally heartwarming category romance. The heartbreaking story of a man trying to protect his son while running from his past. Ms. Stockham shows us the true meaning of family. The emotions and heartbreak of Dylan and his son are felt through out the book. It takes a woman as special as Alexandra to break through the outer shell in order to find the person underneath. Ms. Stockham brings you into the story and makes you feel as if you just stepped off the plane in Alaska. Emotion, love, and trust are all wrapped up into making this the best Tulane story yet." - Gloria Gehres - The Romance Readers Connection Rated 4 1/2

Talk about being in over your head!

Dr. Ethan Tulane is juggling more than even his type A personality can handle. Between his new job as chief of surgery and learning to be a dad to Simon, his adopted son, Ethan is desperate. Enter Megan Rose, the temporary nanny. Simon bonds instantly with her, which makes Ethan heave a sigh of relief—even as he notices she’s very good-looking.

It’s not long before they’re exploring those sparks between them. Megan might be the one woman he could have forever with. Too bad there’s something she’s not sharing—something that could send her to the door before he can talk commitment. Ethan can’t let that happen, so it’s time for the big guns—letting Simon persuade her!

Front tag: Promotion from nanny to mom?

"Kay Stockham creates remarkable romantic tales. She writes beautifully with seeming ease to produce an amazingly heart warming romance that can be rather heart wrenching at times. Megan is running from someone and she needs a refuge. Ethan needs someone to help him take control of his life. They are two ordinary people that meet under dire circumstances, and that meeting sparks something between them. This emotional bond between the characters grabs our attention and keeps us rooting for them to leap the obvious hurdles, and leaves us to fall in love with these two amazing people. Ms. Stockham provides us with another incredible read. SIMON SAYS MOMMY is a spectacular story about the ups and downs of family life and learning to grasp happiness when it is within your reach. I will look forward to the next book in the Tulane series." - Melissa Kammer - NOVELTALK

"SIMON SAYS MOMMY, the fourth book in the Tulanes of Tennessee series, is unique and fresh; a story that will capture you right from the beginning. As usual, Kay Stockham easily blots out the rest of the world as she tells her heartfelt story of unconditional family love. As favorite characters, from previous books in this series, add to the richness and depth of the storyline, interest is ratcheted up with a budding romance between Ethan and Megan. Please do not miss this beautiful book by award winning author Kay Stockham." - Donna, CataRomance 5 Stars!

"Stockham grabs your attention with delightful characters" - Romantic Times Book Reviews

"I've recently finished Kay Stockham's Simon Says Mommy. I enjoy Kay's books because she ALWAYS tackles the difficult subjects. Weight, adoption, spousal abuse, etc. and somehow manages to turn them into stories you want to keep reading, With Kay, you not only get your happy ending, but a view on a topic that's not always prevalent in romance." - Maria - Romance Novel TV

"Kay Stockham has once again given readers a beautiful love story. Megan and Ethan aren't your typical romance characters. Megan has the baggage of a difficult childhood, an abusive marriage and a strained relationship with her sister. Ethan is without a doubt one of the good guys, but his need for total organization and perfection has put almost every aspect of his life on a collision course. Seeming the most unlikely pair, Megan and Ethan couldn't be more perfect for each other. SIMON SAYS MOMMY comes with my very highest recommendation." - Laurie Damrom - Romance Junkies 4 Ribbons

"SIMON SAYS MOMMY is an emotionally charged category romance. The family dynamics between Megan and Jenn are heartbreaking, and lead to an explosive ending that will either tear the family apart, or bring them closer together. I didn't see the surprise twist coming. SIMON SAYS MOMMY brings drama, heartache, the need for forgiveness, truth and love into one amazing story. Ms. Stockham delivers again!" - Gloria Gehres - The Romance Readers Connection Rated 4 1/2

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Megan is just one of the characters who turns out not to be as they seem. There are some pleasant surprises in store for the readers of SIMON SAYS MOMMY. Author Kay Stockham has penned some fascinating characters. I think Simon is just about as cute as he can be. Normally a child that acts like he does would be a spoiled little brat, but coming from his background it is all based on fear. This little character is totally heartbreaking at times. And it is so wonderful that Megan is there to help Ethan understand where Simon is coming from.

"Ms Stockham is a wonderful storyteller and an excellent writer. I hope this book flies off the shelves as readers flock to buy it. Harlequin Romance lovers cannot go wrong with SIMON SAYS MOMMY." - Penny

"I think adoption is a true gift and this story is a true gift to the reader... Her writing is so diversely unique and her characters are inspiring. This story was wonderful! I'm not sure there is another word for it... This story will make your heart swell with love for these characters." - Tonya Callihan - FRESH FICTION

How could this have happened?

They had one night. That’s all Shelby Brookes would allow herself to indulge in with Luke Tulane. Yes, he’s gorgeous and yes, he’s the greatest guy she knows, but he’s her best friend’s brother for crying out loud! And she’s pretty sure there are rules against sleeping with friends’ brothers.

Then Shelby discovers she’s pregnant. And Luke’s determined to do the right thing—down to the bended knee proposal and the meeting at the altar. As tempting as his offer is, Shelby’s convinced she’s not the marrying kind.  She’s bound to hurt him and that’s definitely against the rules of friendship. Still, she doesn’t count on how persuasive Luke can be when he really wants something…her.
