Municipal Liaisons
Welcome to Fortuna, Texas where the men read romance novels. This sizzling romantic comedy is set in the small town of Fortuna and can be read as a standalone or as the fourth in the Fortuna, Texas series.
She aspired to renew the town; he desired to revive her love life …
Who’d have thought Michaela Arschfick would like Texas? Particularly some Podunk town with the mighty Fire Ant as its mascot. But from first glance, Fortuna captivates Michaela.
With most of the residents, primarily men, keeping their noses glued to the pages of romance novels, they don’t notice Fortuna needs a makeover. Michaela takes on the challenge of opening the eyes of City Hall to Fortuna’s potential. The longer she stays in the cozy town the more it feels like home, especially with the sexy, young mayor giving her VIP treatment.
After his wife died in a flash flood, the mayor of Fortuna, Texas, Jasen Delay, delved into work. Two years later, he’s still wearing the placating smile, but when a vanload of unban consultants visit the town... a beauty catches his eye.
Determined to keep their relationship professional, Jasen and Michaela must stymie their blossoming feelings and focus on revitalizing Fortuna's downtown. A nosy newspaper reporter, a perverted prankster, and sightings of Jasen's wife's ghost have Michaela second guessing her choice to stay. Jasen will do anything to keep Michaela in town. Fortuna needs her but, more importantly, Jasen needs her.
With Jasen's help, can Michaela wade through small town bureaucracy, solve the mystery of the canyon ghost, and learn to trust to her heart?
The restaurant’s door opened and Darren strode in, followed by Rodney. Michaela shrunk into the booth, holding her breath. The men spotted their group and started toward the table, but when Darren saw her sitting with another man, he changed direction.
His brow rose and his patented deal-closing smile appeared. Darren attempted to slide in next to her but Michaela wouldn’t budge. He balanced precariously on the edge of the seat.
Across the room, Michaela caught Kim’s attention. Kim rolled her eyes then pretended to yawn as Rodney and Chase carried on a lively discussion next to her.
“I’m Darren Arschfick, Mick’s husband,” he said, holding his hand out to shake Jasen’s.
“Ex-husband.” Michaela frowned and crossed her arms. She hated it when Darren claimed her, especially after he had neglected her during their marriage.
Jasen’s gaze jumped from Darren to Michaela.
