Teacups and Temptations offer
For a limited time, follow this link to read the first two chapters of Teacups and Temptations!
https://www.kateellington.com/teacups...
From the back cover:
Molly Merriwether readily accepts an invitation to Waverly Hall, eager for adventure and amusement with her best friend.
She never expected to be left unchaperoned with three intriguing young gentlemen for weeks.
Roger Bailey, recuperating in more ways than one, avoids Molly until her kindness and humor tempt him to deepen their acquaintance.
Molly lands in one unlikely escapade after the next with Roger and soon considers him a friend-perhaps more-but the barriers he puts up make it impossible to truly know him. Has she only imagined those tender looks in his eyes?
For a chance at love, Molly will need to bare her innermost self and trust someone more deeply than she's ever dreamed possible.

Happy New Year!
2023 was a wonderful year! My first novel, Sea Glass And Fireflies, was published, I traveled and visited with family and friends and still found time to bake, take lovely walks, go to the beach and read.
In 2024 I look forward to my next book, The Secret Cottage, being released and happily working on my TBR pile. I'm a re-reader and read my favorites at least once a year and hopefully I'll find a couple of new authors this year, too.
Hope 2023 was great for you, and here's to 2024!
