From USA Today bestselling author Tamera Alexander. . .
A gifted rider in a world where ladies never race, Maggie Linden is determined that her horse will become a champion. But the one man who could help her has vowed to stay away from thoroughbred racing forever.
An Irishman far from home, Cullen McGrath left a once prosperous life in England because of a horse racing scandal that nearly ruined him. He’s come to Nashville for a fresh start, hoping to buy land and begin farming, all while determined to stay as far away from thoroughbred racing as possible. But starting over proves harder than he’d wagered, especially when Maggie Linden’s father makes him an offer he shouldn’t accept yet cannot possibly refuse.
Maggie is certain that her mare, Bourbon Belle, can take the top purse in the inaugural Peyton Stakes, the richest race ever run in America. Maggie only needs the chance to prove it. To give her that chance—and to save Linden Downs from being sold to the highest bidder—Maggie’s father, aging, yet wily as ever, makes a barter. His agreement includes one tiny, troublesome detail—Maggie must marry a man she’s never met. A man she never would have chosen for herself.

Tamera Alexander - A Lasting Impression
From USA Today bestselling author Tamera Alexander comes a blockbuster historical series...
To create something that will last is Claire Laurent's most fervent desire as an artist. It's also her greatest weakness. When her fraud of a father deals her an unexpected hand, Claire is forced to flee from New Orleans to Nashville, only a year after the War Between the States has ended. Claire's path collides with that of Sutton Monroe, and she considers him a godsend for not turning her in to the authorities. But when they meet again and he refuses to come to her aid, she realizes she's sorely misjudged the man. Trading an unwanted destiny for an unknown future, Claire finds herself in the middle of Nashville's elite society and believes her dream of creating a lasting impression in the world of art may finally be within reach.
All that Sutton Monroe holds dear lies in ruin. He's determined to reclaim his heritage and to make the men who murdered his father pay. But what he discovers on his quest for vengeance reveals a truth that may cost him more than he ever imagined.
Set at Nashville's historic 1850s Belmont Mansion, a stunning antebellum manor built by Mrs. Adelicia Acklen, the richest woman in America in the 1860s, A Lasting Impression showcases the deep, poignant, unforgettable characters that set Tamera's stories apart and provides an inspiring love story that will capture readers' hearts and leave them eager for more.
The second standalone novel* in the Belmont Mansion series, A Beauty So Rare, is now available. The third standalone novel, A Note Yet Unsung, releases February 2017.
*All of Tamera's Belmont Mansion novels are complete stories within themselves. The "series" part of the novels is the historic Belmont Mansion setting in Nashville and some of the secondary characters.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there ...
Take my accidental marriage, for example. It’s a cliché, I know, but drunk people do stupid things like stumble into a neon-lit Elvis-themed chapel and say, “I do.” Not that I know if it was Elvis themed, because I was too drunk to remember that part.
But the evidence of our drunken escapades—namely wedding rings and a marriage license—are waiting to greet us in the morning. And while my first impulse—Megan's too—is to get an annulment, when we’re fully sober and consider all our options in the too-bright light of day, maybe staying together isn’t such a terrible idea.
Our chemistry is off the charts, which is what I blame for our drunken selves thinking getting married was a good plan. In vino veritas, as they say. We work in the same industry, and merging our companies would make us the definition of a power couple. Why not give this marriage thing a shot?
When my family gets involved, what started as a crazy accident turns into a full-blown train wreck. Lies abound, and I’m not sure Megan is who she says she is. Or that anything I’ve believed about my life is actually true.
When family secrets are revealed, I’m afraid I’ve made a terrible mistake. I’m not about to let Megan accidentally slip out of my life the same way she slipped into it.
But will she be able to forgive me after the way I behaved? Or is everything that’s happened too much to overcome?
