Hi Passionate Inkers,

I hope you are doing well and safe during this crazy time!

Please welcome Bernadette Jones to our board. She is the Marketing Liaison and will be handling our newsletter and social media posts for our Passionate Ink Page and Twitter. If you see her in the group, please say hello.

Also, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve you as President. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns, or any new ideas you might have for our chapter. We thrive because of our members. With that being said, in what ways do you feel RWA could most support our chapter going forward?

I fully support the current board's task of rebuilding RWA from the ground up and am hoping for a better relationship between RWA and chapters. Part of that comes from us. Please email me at president@passionateink.org with suggestions or ideas on what you would like to see happen between RWA 2.0 and Passionate Ink. I look forward to hearing your opinions!

Again, thank you for the opportunity to allow me to serve you!

Ashley Bostock
President, Passionate Ink

Miss Typed

By Aubrey Bondurant
Release Date: April 3, 2020

Aiden Samuels is the most mysterious and sexy man I’ve ever met – and he’s my new boss.

He’s given me a second chance and now it’s up to me not to blow it. No matter how much I may want to trust him with my secrets, I can’t afford to let him in.

He can’t discover the truth.
No matter what the cost.

Chloe Mattson is the most disarming and intriguing woman I’ve ever met – and she’s my new assistant.

She’s brought light into my dark life, but she’s much too innocent for me. I need discipline and control to keep her at arms-length, but I can’t resist helping her, even when she insists she doesn’t need it. No matter how much I desire her, Chloe is off-limits.

Growing closer may prove complicated.
Staying away may prove impossible.

Yours...Mine...Always 

After surviving an attack by a sadistic stalker, Laura doesn’t believe in all that nonsense about karma…until her world spins upside down and she ends up in the arms of a stranger.
 
Unlike his siblings, Jonathan proclaims he’ll take his time falling in love—if ever. When he rescues Laura, his body betrays his conviction to stay single. Now he’ll protect her with his life.
 
Destiny is a powerful force. It’ll take all his connections and sexual creativity to convince her to believe in fate…and his love.

Stay A Little Longer 

By Bernadette Jones
Release Date: May 12, 2020

The Healer
Doctor Gage Ewing is on the run from a past he can never forget. No matter how many people he saves in hospitals or on the crime-ridden streets, he can never be forgiven for the one who died. Spencer, Colorado was supposed to be another temporary stop on his neverending road. But he made a mistake. He got involved.
 
 
The Assassin
IrishMist “Ivy” Vaughn has been fighting to stay alive since the age of twelve, trained with warrior skills to be whatever is demanded of her. No permanent home. Living out of a duffle bag. Changing personas at the ring of a phone. Spencer, Colorado was supposed to be a place to bury her past and start over. Will they let her walk away?
 
The only thing a healer and an assassin have in common is death.

Treating the Mountain Man

By Barbra Campbell
Release Date: May 15, 2020

Her cookies were only the second sweetest thing I got my mouth on!

--Felicity—
Moving to the mountains and setting up a small ranch fulfilled one of my dreams. The calm, peaceful existence was exactly the way I wanted to live my life.
Until the sexiest, brawniest thief ever tried to steal one of my goats.
But situations aren’t always as they seem, and confronting him got me a lot more than my goat back.

--Trapper--
My new neighbor kept to herself, and that was exactly how I wanted it. As long as she stayed on her side of the hill, I would happily keep to mine.
That had been the plan anyway, until I saw her and my entire future unfolded before my eyes. Unfortunately, every time I tried to help her, she turned me down.
A dirty-sweet, insta-love, short story romance!
