Say Yes (Sons of the People, Book 1) by Lucy Varna

Say Yes Is Now Available!

Say Yes, the first Sons of the People novel, is now available for purchase through Amazon, All Romance eBooks, Barnes & NobleiBooksInkteraKobo, and Smashwords at the special introductory price of $.99 (US). That price is good through Sunday, 19 April 2015 (US/Eastern). After that, the retail price will be $4.99. I will be releasing a paperback edition, but haven’t decided exactly when.

I’ve had so much fun with this story. Petey, Sera’s son, has been a blast to work with, plus writing Say Yes gave me an opportunity to share the People’s culture from the perspective of a Son. I’m (loosely) planning three other Sons of the People novels, all of which will be independent, stand-alone stories.

You can learn more about Say Yes on its book page. There’s an excerpt there, as well as links to blog posts. A bonus scene is available for newsletter subscribers. Here’s the description:

Serafina Noland has a good life, a son she adores, a supportive family, and a successful career. The one thing she doesn’t have is a significant other, a partner to help her raise her son, Petey, someone to love her through thick and thin. Loneliness is often her companion, but she’s resigned herself to that and learned to be thankful for the life she and Petey have carved out in their little corner of the Appalachian foothills.

While on vacation, she walks onto a Carolina beach and meets sinfully sexy businessman Levi Ewart. He’s thoughtful and kind and one of the most handsome men she’s ever met. The problem is he’s also entirely too young for her, and so far above her in every way possible, her head spins. What can a man like that possibly see in little ol’ her? How can she ever trust him not to walk out on her, the way Petey’s father did nearly nine years before?

Sera’s age is never a problem for Levi. His own mother is centuries older than his father, and he’s witnessed dozens of couples in similar situations find their happily ever afters. He opens his heart to the reserved Sera and falls hard and fast for her and her son, but his secrets aren’t the only things standing in the way of true love. Sera’s past is a giant blight on their relationship, eating away at the core of their happiness, and Levi’s love may not be enough to overcome her doubts. Getting her to say yes to the future he wants to build with her may be the hardest task he’s ever undertaken, and the riskiest venture of his life.
