Love Overdue (Rightbrain Romance Book 2)

Natalia D’Angelo has spent the last seven years planning for the day she can free both herself and her parents from the brutal clutches of slavery and return back to Valencia to find her little brother, Antonio. To everyone around her, even her best friend, she appears to be just another half-starved young man in the slave camp. This is only one of her lies and the key to her survival.

Welcome to the new world from USA Today bestselling author Alexa Aston—Sugar Springs—a small town in East Texas where love has a way of turning up when you least expect it!

A woman betrayed and cast adrift. A man ready to prove himself professionally. Opposites who don’t match up on paper—and yet they find they are a perfect match . . .

Nova Turner was tossed out by her fundamentalist parents when she turned up pregnant at fifteen. Taken in by her bohemian artist aunt, Nova gives birth to Leo, who becomes the light of her life. Hit by a double whammy—her live-in lover betrays her and her beloved Aunt Rain dies in a car accident—Nova finds herself inheriting Rain’s house in Sugar Springs, Texas.

Dashing through the hills, jingling bells, and laughing all the way is anything but fun with Scrooge MacGruff riding shotgun.

Boston advertising exec, Ellen Patterson, has always been a devilish elf, landing herself in trouble more times than not. As big as her personality is, her heart is even bigger. She can’t help taking in wounded strays and trying to fix them. She’d love to find a man of her own like her best friends and coworkers, Samantha Darling and Amber Evans. But so far no one she’s met has been man enough to handle her. But then she meets Detective MacKenzie Johnson who stuns everyone by showing up at Sam and Nate’s wedding. Mac, aka Scrooge MacGruff, is the angry wounded half-brother to Sam’s husband Nathan Snow. His father abandoned him and his mother couldn’t handle him, so he grew up alone in an orphanage in Boston. Instantly melting, Ellen tries to heal Mac’s wounds, but he won’t let anyone get close to him.
