Cover Reveal – Langston Hotels: Before and After

/ By / 42 Comments

It’s city versus small town. It’s glitz versus charm. It’s high-powered executive team versus the locals of Windward, Colorado.

Join Ambrose Langston and his team as they head to Windward, Colorado to revamp his latest hotel acquisition. They expected to clash with the locals…but they never expected to find love.

I am thrilled to share the cover for the next book in the Langston Hotels series. Book 2, BEFORE AND AFTER, stars intense, ex-military head of security for Langston Hotels Caden Castro and housekeeping supervisor, Allie Ford.

Scroll down to see the cover for BEFORE AND AFTER. There is also a giveaway to celebrate the cover reveal. I have THREE signed paperbacks of Night and Day to give away.

Before and After will also have a special edition paperback in addition to the main ebook and print cover. Take a look at the gorgeous special edition cover!

I never expected to become a single mom. Back in my Colorado hometown, all I have time for is work and raising my grieving nephew.

I don’t have time for a man.

Especially a tall, dark, and broody one.

Allie

I’ve swapped city life for small town. Designer suits for a housekeeping uniform. And don’t get me started on my lack of sleep. But I’d do it all again in a heartbeat to take care of my nephew.

Now my life revolves around running hotel housekeeping at the Langston Windward and taking care of my kiddo.

Oh, it also involves trying to avoid our cold, scowling, ex-military head of security. Everywhere I turn, I see Caden Castro and his muscled body and inky-black eyes.

And every time I see him, he’s watching me.

Caden

As head of security for Langston Hotels, my job is to fly in, upgrade security, then fly out. Since I left the military, I keep my life simple and avoid distractions.

Works helps me escape the memories and guilt that never go away.

Except, since I came to Windward, all I can think about is Allie Ford.

It isn’t just her long legs and lean body, it’s her fierce attitude and spirit. But she’s a hard-working single mom, and I’m a man with nothing to offer.

Then a group of dangerous guests into extreme sports arrive. They have trouble written all over them, and when Allie gets sucked into that trouble, it changes everything.

Whatever line I have to cross, I’ll do it to keep her safe.

Snippet from Night and Day (Langston Hotels #1) featuring Caden and Allie

I held my card to the reader and walked into the staff area.

And spotted Caden and Allie having what looked like an intense discussion at the end of the hall.

Caden was busy doing his massive overhaul of the hotel’s security. If he had his way, there’d be cameras in every room of the hotel.

He grabbed Allie’s arm, and she snapped something at him. I raised my brows. He yanked her closer.

My breath hitched. It looked like he wanted to strangle her…or kiss her.

Allie pulled back, said something else, then stalked off with a flounce.

What the —? Allie Ford never flounced.

She still called him Broody, and thought he was paranoid, intense, and over-protective.

Caden strode down the hall, his face hard, something working behind his eyes. He spotted me and his stride hitched, then his face smoothed out.

“Everything okay?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“You sure?”

“Yes.”

I waited, but unsurprisingly got nothing else from him. Caden was definitely a man of few words. Fine. I’d interrogate Allie over margaritas.
