A Contemporary "Retro" Romance

Samantha Brody is just trying to keep her head above water, working as a waitress, helping her aunt with the bills, and helping take care of her much younger sister. The small Colorado town doesn't have many opportunities, and she doesn't expect much out of life. She certainly doesn't expect to find herself face to face with Jordan Forrester, a man more of a town legend than a real person.

Photographer Jordan Forrester is the eldest child of the Forrester clan, the wealthiest people in town. Jordan, considered the black sheep because he won't join the family business, enjoys his family but needs some distance. The new cabin he built in his hometown to use when he visits them is just what he needs.

On a cold, snowy night, Jordan, driving home in the snow, loses control of his truck, slamming his vehicle into that of a broken-down car. He finds Samantha passed out in the snow. With no other option, he takes her home. Little does he know that the small-town waitress will forever alter the course of his life.

About the "Retro" Series & Loving Jordan: The books in the "Retro" series were written before I embarked on my romantic suspense publishing journey. I was devouring books from the 80s and 90s when I wrote them. I consider the books "throwbacks." I hadn't owned a cell phone very long when I wrote these (2008 for those of you who are curious), which seems crazy. Jordan is a bit of a dominant male, and Samantha is a younger heroine, similar to the tropes in those days. But it is one of my favorite tropes of forced proximity, a damsel in distress, and a snowstorm. This is a standalone title, approximately 57,000 words. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy." – Lizzy Castle.
