PART 2 OVERVIEW:

Chelsea Winters finds the love of her life in a small Virginia town after running from heartache in Washington, D.C. Not only is Logan Wilde handsome, sexy and kind, he's also wealthy. And, he wants to marry her and have her by his side at the family enterprise, which consists of most of the businesses in Whisper Creek and the surrounding areas.

But Chelsea is in the beginning stages of opening her new real estate office. Will Logan’s reigns -- and wealth -- pull her too tight as she tries to regain her independence? Or will the neglect of her own company be too high of a price to pay to be his wife?

The solution for Logan may be Lisa Webb, the new executive chosen to help manage Wilde Enterprises. But Lisa has ideas of her own since Logan’s fiancé is too busy to be at his side.

Will jealousy push Chelsea to forge a new bond with the handsome Ryan Colby, a decorated war veteran who has wanted her since the day he laid eyes on her in neighboring Dakota Village? Back from his last tour of duty, Ryan craves Chelsea in his life -- and in his bed. And, he’ll stop at nothing to have her.

Will buried family secrets about Logan’s half-brother, Hatcher, and the disappearance of Logan’s mother, reveal themselves in time to bring Logan and Chelsea back together -- or will the truth tear them apart forever?

LOVING LOGAN Series Introduction

It's the holiday season, one week before Thanksgiving, and Chelsea Winters is moving from the hustle and bustle of Washington, D.C. to Whisper Creek, a small Virginia town on the outskirts of Norfolk. Taking a detour in her career, she gets a waitressing job at the town's local diner to help make ends meet as she licks her wounds and starts over.

Chelsea doesn't expect to meet Logan Wilde, the handsome, sexy businessman who owns the diner and most of the small businesses in the area, including the largest paper mill on the East Coast. Logan is also the owner of the cottage she's renting on Arbor Lane. Chelsea knows getting involved with her landlord and her boss -- especially after what happened in D.C. -- might not be a good idea.
_____

Logan knows there's more to Chelsea Winters than meets the eye. He wanted her the second he saw her curvy, petite frame peering into his diner window early one morning before dawn. Beautiful, smart, fiery, she reminds him of his mother, his father's mistress, who he believes abandoned him as a child to escape small-town living for the big city.

What's a big city girl doing in a small town like Whisper Creek? Logan wonders what Chelsea's running from in D.C., and how long she plans to stay in Whisper Creek. He wants her in his world -- and it has nothing to do with her working in his diner.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business: Property Preservation Industry Dec 7, 2010

by Cassandra Black, Stone Cottage Books

( 42 )

$2.99

Note: For the latest edition of this book, see http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019E3JT96, How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business, 2016-2017 Edition.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business is the most up-to-date, thorough analysis of how to start and grow a foreclosure cleanup business.

A foreclosure cleanup business is responsible for primarily the cleaning, clearing and maintenance of properties that have been foreclosed upon. Services offered by these enterprises involve interior and exterior repair and maintenance, ranging from debris removal, boarding of windows and doors, changing locks, inspections, painting, and more. The foreclosure cleanup industry is growing as a result of the astronomical number of foreclosures on the market today.

Though often termed "property preservation companies," foreclosure cleanup companies are actually different in that they are generally smaller contractors that work as arms of larger property preservation companies. The larger property preservation companies, in most scenarios, work directly with HUD (the Department of Housing and Urban Development). Increasingly, the larger companies are relying on the services of smaller foreclosure cleanup companies, who act as foot soldiers in the management, cleanup, and repair of properties in pre-foreclosure and foreclosure states.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business includes the following topics: Business start-up, licensing, insurance, pricing, marketing, HUD subcontracting resources, start-up sample forms, copies of actual bids, and much more. Readers get detailed direction on niche marketing, working with larger contractors, choosing helpers, licensing and insurance, uniforms, equipment and supply purchasing versus renting, and other necessary information to help them start and grow a successful foreclosure cleanup enterprise in 2011 and beyond.

Further, readers receive a detailed look at several foreclosure cleanup bids won and jobs completed, with a step-by-step analysis of how each job unfolded. (All information is from the first-hand account of an Atlanta-based foreclosure cleanup business owner.)

The author is a realtor, real estate contractor, investor, and foreclosure cleanup business owner. As a result, readers learn crucial start-up tactics from a real estate professional with pointed experience in several real estate industry capacities.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business is unique in that it provides a detailed perspective on starting and growing a foreclosure cleanup business from a seasoned professional who has successfully worked on many levels in the real estate industry.

SERIES OVERVIEW -- Finding Love in Sweetwater Cove

Heather-Anne McCreary has moved back home to Sweetwater Cove, a quaint Alabama town, after a tragic loss in Los Angeles. An old land dispute rears its ugly head again, just as romantic feelings begin to blossom between her and the handsome Jake Coleman, her neighbor, who's fighting to recover from his own personal loss.

Will Heather-Anne and Jake's new friendship, forged by their similar pasts, be too little to overcome the feud that drove their families apart? Or will their mounting passion and need for each other be enough to transcend age-old differences and family secrets as they fight to live and love again?
__________

BOOK EXCERPT:

As Jake Coleman walked toward her, she surprised herself even thinking about another man. It had been almost three years since her Robert had left this earth. And since then, she hadn't once considered anyone else in her life – not until today. Her eyes widened and her stomach did somersaults as the handsome, rugged man got closer. Thick waves of shoulder-length black hair were secured from his face by a chocolate cowboy. Her eyes immediately went to his ring finger.

No ring.

"Ma'am," he said, tipping the hat, as he almost strode past her.

Her heart sank. "Good morning," she uttered, disappointed Jake Coleman did not recognize her. Foolish girl, she thought, feeling like a jilted teenager all over again. She chastised herself like she used to when she'd flirted in front of him and he hadn't noticed at all.

Jake spun back around. "Heather-Anne?" he asked, pushing the hat back from his eyes. "My goodness, Little Heather-Anne!"

"Jake Coleman," she said, smiling wide as she stood up from the bench to greet him.

His pulse quickened as he took in her sensual frame. Letting his eyes travel over her pert bosom down to her narrow waist, he tried to control the rise inside of him.

Heather-Anne noticed the slight whispers of salt-and-pepper strands at his temples, disappearing under the cowboy hat. He had gotten even sexier with age. She knew Jake couldn't be more than 42 or 43. He was only a few years older than she was. There was a noticeable, distinguished quality about him as a man that she hadn't seen as a teenager.

Jake's eyes brightened and consumed her, knowing full well who she was from the second he drove up: the way she sat, with her soft, shapely legs properly folded, one dangling over the other; the way she pretended to be gazing intently at the newspaper in front of her as she was taking in everything in her peripheral vision; the way she fingered the wisps of soft, brown curls in her tiny, white-tipped fingers and pushed them gently from her delicately shaped face; and the way emerald eyes framed by long batting lashes seemed to dance when they landed on him. He knew Heather-Anne McCreary well.

He'd pictured her many nights over the past several years.

"Well I'll be," he said, instinctively picking her up and twirling her around.

Introduction:

A downward spiral of the housing market and a twist of fate lands Hamilton Steele back in the handyman occupation he thought he'd seen the last of; though in no time at all, he’s back on his feet with Princeton Meadows, his next investment deal. But as he turns 40, something other than real estate development is on his mind; Hamilton’s ready to marry and start a family -- both prerequisites to him claiming his full inheritance.

When he meets Miranda Colbert at her little cottage on Magnolia Lane, he knows right away she may just be the one …

But Miranda's heart is closed to anything resembling love, especially after her last relationship with James Whitfield. The only thing on her mind is getting Colbert and Company back on its feet and getting the little bungalow falling down around her up to par -- until she opens the door to her new handyman.

As passion blossoms, Hamilton asks Miranda for her hand in marriage. But will uncovering the details about Hamilton’s fortune make her run away before she knows the truth? Or will fate prevail, untangling hurt and mistrust, in time to bond two souls searching for everlasting love?

$2.99

INTRODUCTION:

Hamilton Steele, a sexy real estate developer, was looking for love in Harper's Grove, a sleepy town on the outskirts of Atlanta. A downward spiral of the housing market, and a twist of fate, landed him back in the handyman occupation he thought he'd seen the last of -- and onto the steps of Miranda Colbert.

Miranda's heart was closed to anything resembling love, especially after her last fiasco of a relationship. The only thing on her mind was getting Colbert and Company back on its feet and getting the little bungalow falling down around her up to par -- until she opened the door to her new handyman.

EXCERPT:

"Hi, ma'am," he said in a sexy voice with a slight southern twang. "I'm Hamilton. Hamilton Steele." She was a beautiful woman. A perfume he couldn't quite place teased his senses. Hamilton reached out to shake her hand. Dainty, soft. He knew if he squeezed too hard he would hurt her. His eyes lingered on the small, delicate features of her caramel-colored face. The fullness of her lips were irresistible, and the slender, silver chain around her neck traveled down to a pert bosom that was void of a brassiere. Something about her, almost like a magnet, made him want to pull her into his arms and ravish her with his lips.

Miranda's heart raced as she surveyed the creature in front of her. Jeans, white t-shirt, and construction boots were made for men like the one standing on her porch. Sexiness oozed from him as he stood there, devouring her with his eyes.

**A standalone romance novel.**

MONTANA LOVE

Book Overview:

Cynthia Alexander is on her way to the Midwest to babysit her godson. Her friend Thelma and her husband have planned a long overdue honeymoon, and Cynthia has agreed to help out.

Two weeks in Cattlewood, a sleepy Montana town -- hold-up on a ranch with a feisty four-year-old -- is certainly not her idea of a relaxing vacation, but the timing really couldn’t be more perfect. The law firm is in the midst of relocating its downtown offices to another building, and everyone’s caseload is coming to a strategic halt.

Cynthia knows a break from her fast-paced career as a corporate attorney will do her some good because she’s been on the fast-track too long.

While many of her friends from college are married with children, in Cynthia’s world, settling down is nowhere on the radar -- especially in the midst of competing for the coveted partnership position at hand. No husband and babies for her, and she likes it that way just fine … but for those occasional moments of loneliness in the middle of the night.

But unforeseen circumstances suddenly thrust her into a position where she’s left as guardian of the little boy, and life as she’s known it comes to a screeching halt. She’s suddenly a single mother in an environment that is as foreign to her as running a ranch.

***

Handsome rancher Dexter Callahan can see the little lady is out of her element in Sheppard County, especially with Dennis the Menace underfoot. The boy is a handful; Dex knows from personal experience. Carson gives his own mother a run for her money, so it amuses him to see Cynthia trying to keep up.

Dexter would like nothing more than to help the newcomer get settled -- for the child’s sake and for his own personal reasons -- if she wasn’t so stubborn and hell-bent on leaving.

***

Cynthia has decided this cannot be her fate. She has one thing on her mind: getting back to San Francisco. But after a little while, she can’t deny there is something irresistible about Montana, the little boy … and Dexter Callahan. Spending time with them has her taking a closer and sometimes painful look at her priorities and how she’s been living her life, and it has her reconsidering the idea of settling in the Midwest.

INTRODUCTION

This book contains two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.

Part 1 contains text from the full First Edition book, almost verbatim as it was originally written, with the exception of newly updated stats, updated hyperlinks, new subcontracting contact information, as well as miscellaneous references throughout.

Why? Because Part 1 contains “the meat and potatoes” of how to start a foreclosure cleanup business, from the ground up, based on the experience of a foreclosure cleanup business owner at the company’s inception.

Though some of the information and references have changed, the fundamental first-hand information provided in Part 1 remains the same, and will provide invaluable insight for foreclosure cleaning business owners from on-the-ground, first-hand experience, including mistakes made and invaluable lessons learned.

On the other hand, Part 2 of this book consists of newly written information. It explores what’s going on in the industry today, the hurdles and changes that have impacted the market, and how foreclosure cleanup owners are mastering them to grow profitable companies present-day.

But whose beginning will it be … Ciara’s and Gunnar’s, or Ciara’s and Lee’s -- the man she has known and loved most of her life?
