Janine Amesta talks about taking chances and discovering your family

March 26, 2026 · Posted by Tule Publishing

The idea of family has always been an important theme in my books, but it’s especially big in my newest series, Love is in the Air.

The first book starts off with the family becoming broken at the unexpected death of the father, leaving Selah, Naomi, and Hailey, along with their mother, to try to keep the family’s hot air balloon business afloat in the aftermath. Each sister deals with the loss of their father in very different ways, and their path toward healing is not always an easy one and is sometimes rocky. But they end up with a new type of family by the end of it, growing even bigger than it was before.

While their family will never look the same again, it doesn’t mean that the way it evolves into something different isn’t just as beautiful.

In the third book, The Love Feud, it focuses on the youngest daughter, Hailey, who carries around a great deal of guilt because she believes that her relationship with her late father wasn’t as good as it should have been. She wasn’t as close to him as her sisters had been, and, even worse, it wasn’t something she strived for. Plus, she didn’t value her family until a part of it was gone. Hailey feels like she has a lot to make up for, and this affects a lot of her decisions, including keeping up with her father’s imaginary feud with the other rival hot air balloon business in the area. It’s her way of making up for and protecting the family she has left.

It’s not until she sees the truth of the whole situation that she discovers things were way more complicated than she realized. This makes things change again—both her perspective and how she sees family. Because, as we all know, family is not just what people are born into, but it can grow from other people you meet along the way.

And I think the concept of family is something many people find relatable. Family is something we all need. People who will support us and love us even when we mess up. Hailey is really a character who puts this to the test because she doesn’t always make the best decisions, even if she thinks she’s doing it for a good reason.

At the beginning, she’s not looking to make Ryland, the love interest in The Love Feud, part of this family. In fact, it’s just the opposite. She’d rather keep the feud between them going, holding the man at arm’s length as long as she can. As hard as she tries to fight against Ryland and the rest of his family, it’s a losing battle. Turns out they’re exactly what she needs to make her own family even stronger. It’s a big surprise when she discovers they’re not exactly who she always imagined them to be.

Perhaps that’s why sometimes it’s better to take a chance. Because you never know where you’re going to find love or your next family.

The Cowboy Contract

by Paula Altenburg

When a high-end, off-the-grid, Wild West themed ghost town needs a country singer for an elite international client, Burning Scrub has two months to turn a reluctant country star into a cowboy with a hit record.

Winner of a national vocal competition Beau Jones hates country music and the recording contract hanging over his head. But his family needs the prize money. His agent books him into a remote Montana ranch for two months to polish his brand, teach him how to cowboy up and record a country record whether Beau agrees or not. When Beau wakes up in a frontier jail, watched by a beautiful jailer, he resolves to be the worst cowboy this town has ever seen.

Internal medicine doctor Belle Forsythe is tasked with keeping Beau out of trouble. She has no interest in celebrities or country music. She has a five-year contract, which will pay off her medical school debt. Until then she’s determined to keep her twenty-first-century doctoring skills current and research nineteenth-century medical practices.

Belle’s resolved to her fate until Beau. He’s an advertisement for trouble and she can’t wait.

Jackson

by LaQuette

A curvy, fearless woman. A sexy, guarded Texas Ranger. And a ranch where danger and desire collide.

Aja Everett has a heart too big for her own good. All she wants is to turn her family’s Texas ranch into a wellness retreat where anyone can find peace—and maybe a little redemption. But someone in town is determined to drive her out. When an explosion nearly kills her, Aja realizes she’s not just fighting for her dream—she’s fighting for her life.

Enter Texas Ranger Jackson Dean—gritty, gorgeous, surly, and oh so sexy. Babysitting a VIP’s niece isn’t exactly his idea of a career-making case, but one look at Aja Everett, and he knows he’s in trouble. She’s straight out of his scorching fantasies and twice as stubborn. She doesn’t listen, doesn’t back down, and drives him wild in every possible way.

As danger circles the ranch and tempers flare hotter than a Texas heatwave, Jackson’s protective instincts war with a desire that refuses to be contained. Because keeping Aja safe is his mission. Wanting her? That’s becoming his undoing.

Wildflower Season

by Laurie Beach

Tulip ‘Tootie’ Boone is as wild and free as the wildflowers growing near her grounded houseboat. She’s also completely lost. All she wants is a simple life, a job, and strong family roots. It feels like an impossible thing to create alone.

When she meets a young man in an old pirate cave, their instant connection is more valuable than gold. But can his ongoing interest withstand his movie star status, his bratty teenage sister, and the whims of Mother Nature?

After Tootie uncovers shocking family truths that survived for generations in an abandoned Charleston cemetery, new realities hold the power to change her forever. One of those revelations may literally hold the key to her future, but what does she want? And who will stand with her?

Wildflower Season is a warmly atmospheric novel filled with Southern quirks and love in all its forms. It’s an immersive dive into family dynamics, big dreams, and unlikely pairs. As layered as a gooey Southern casserole, this tale will warm you from the inside out. Fans of Outer Banks and Notting Hill will love this lyrically gorgeous story.

Make Me Yours, Cowboy

by Kristine Lynn

Jace Michaels, Hollywood’s favorite cowboy, may have been born with dust on his boots, but he never expected his return to Banberry, Montana, would mean more than selling the family ranch. But a shadowy real estate investor is threatening to transform his hometown with soulless commercial projects, and Jace surprises himself by staying to fight for Banberry’s future—and teaming up with the last person he expected.

Aurelie Gardinier has built a new life in Banberry, working as a nurse practitioner for pregnant women, but a visa glitch threatens to send her back to her Caribbean island, where a threat from her past awaits. Jace is willing to say “I do” to a marriage of convenience to protect her, but what starts as a practical arrangement turns into a partnership neither of them saw coming. Together, they battle to protect both the town—and their hearts.

Can a leading man with a cowboy’s heart help Aurelie find the courage to fight for her future, or will both of them lose the roots—and the love—they’re just beginning to find?

Jude discovers Ivy and takes charge of the investigation and her safety. Something about the sexy, but reclusive agent calls to her, leaving Ivy wondering who is rescuing whom?

Sheriff’s Honor

Wade came home to bury ghosts, not dig up new ones. Yet the wary beauty his mother hired as a caretaker unearths feelings he’d rather keep hidden.

When a cold case hits too close to home, Meredith becomes an unlikely ally–and a temptation he can’t resist.

A Soldier’s Promise

The Love Feud

When Ryland proposes planning the festival together, Hailey’s reluctant. Then she hits on what sounds like a fun scheme. Create a fake family feud for social media buzz. Too bad Ryland can’t follow a script…and neither can her heart. But all the pretend drama allows them to be vulnerable and connect in a way they didn’t before. Can faux hate turn to real love?

Falling for the Smooth-Talking Hero: Why Author Janine Amesta Had to Write Boone

September 30, 2025 · Posted by Tule Publishing

I think ever since I started writing romances, I wanted to write a hero like Boone. It only took me five books to get there. With my newest small-town romance, The Wedding Con, Boone is a confident, smooth-talking ex-con artist, who knows how to play the game when it comes to getting what he wants. It’s sort of the morally gray, complicated character that doesn’t have the best history when it comes to making decisions, but you know that deep down inside there’s still good there even if he doesn’t like to show it. Our heroine, Naomi, sees him as a street-smart alley cat who uses his handsomeness to take advantage of people. Because of this, it takes them a while to get to a spot where real trust (and other feelings) are allowed to develop.

While he does try to sweet-talk her, she’s not necessarily the person who’s going to trust him, especially since her own father had been taken in by scammers in the past. This is the reason the family’s hot air balloon business struggles after his death. She doesn’t want to fall prey herself and understands the vulnerability the Moreno women find themselves in now that they’re left alone to run the High Desert Tours. I can certainly understand her position, as I had similar feelings after the passing of my own father and heard about businesses that suddenly were appearing on my mom’s doorstep and trying to get her to sign up for things.

It’s not surprising when Naomi is dismayed not only with her family hiring Boone to be part of the chase crew but also with her mom taking him in, like he’s part of the family. I have to say that I also relate to the mother in this aspect as well, but only because I am a writer of damaged, looking-for-second-chances heroes, and there’s nothing I enjoy better than redeeming them. It’s extremely satisfying to follow a cynical, doesn’t believe-in-love type of character and see how love is the same thing that changes their whole perspective. Going on that journey with them and seeing a rejection of their old life for a new one is a lot of fun, but also you see the old parts that continue to stick with them.

I would say that it’s not only Boone who evolves but also Naomi. She realizes that it’s not just her who can be taken in by a con, but really anyone, including Boone, because we all have our vulnerabilities, where, given the right incentive or lie, it’s very easy to become a victim. Closing off the whole world is not only not ideal but also usually impossible as well. To live in society is about taking risks about who you open up to and let into your life. But they all learn that the best way to fight against this is by sticking by the ones you love and looking out for each other.

And that’s really what makes a great romance: it’s the creation of a new team built on love and respect. This is the story of Boone and Naomi, and they learn that true love isn’t a con after all.

Living rent-free in her family’s run-down homestead, she trades labor for boarding space at the neighbor’s ranch—never expecting Hayes to be part of the deal.

Turbulence in Texas

by Kelly Cain

Can enemies become allies without becoming lovers?

Meredith Hawthorne feels crushed by her family legacy of bravery, service and flying. As a Hawthorne, she’s a skilled pilot, but her true love is working in the repair shop, fixing up and renovating the fleet. Frustrated by the pressure her parents place on her to become the pretty, public face of the company, Meredith pushes back, working ‘in a man’s world’ happily covered in grease. Making life harder is the shop manager, a far too handsome Texan who scrutinizes her every move. She’d love to ignore him, but he’s the whole package—excluding his arrogance.

A former bull rider, Grand Harris is comfortable on top, but he knows he needs to build his mechanical and managerial reputation so that he can jump to a larger company not named Hawthorne. Meredith is a thorn in his side. He envies her skill and easy rapport with others, but she’s a massive, sexy distraction he can’t afford.

And then the project that could make his career lands in his lap, except he needs Meredith’s help. Can they put their differences aside, work as a team and each get what they want?

Rogue Cowboy

by Sinclair Jayne

Forever Cowboy

It was supposed to be just a vacation fling…

As business booms and their chemistry builds, Naomi starts to wonder if she misjudged Boone. But when his recently paroled father shows up, convinced Boone’s working a new con, everything they’ve built is at risk.

Can Boone prove he’s not the man his father raised? Or will Naomi walk away when love looks too much like a lie?

When nothing ever seems to happen the way you expect and why Janine Amesta’s characters roll with the punches.

April 15, 2025 · Posted by Tule Publishing

I’ve always been a nature girlie. I like exploring the wilderness, going hiking, and appreciating the natural beauty you can find in the world. So when my husband suggested that we move from the traffic-filled Los Angeles to Oregon, I thought I knew exactly what I was getting into. Lots of forests and foggy days and ocean!

As with my stories, nothing ever seems to happen the way a character expects it. We moved to Central Oregon, which is considered the High Desert, and if you can’t tell from the name, it’s very dry and it has a high altitude. It wasn’t at all like the lush green forests and foggy skies I had been dreaming of.

But just because it wasn’t the stereotypical image of Oregon that most people have, it didn’t mean the area didn’t offer really cool things like caves and giant rocks and lots of sunshine. Sometimes I’ll be out on an early morning walk, and I’ll spot a local hot-air balloon in the sky, sparking my imagination. Exploring Central Oregon has actually been amazing, and it’s why I decided to make it the location of my newest series, Love is in the Air.

The first book, Love at First Flight, is about a woman, Selah, who takes over piloting her family’s hot-air balloon business after the sudden loss of her dad. Despite living in the sunny High Desert, she and her family find themselves in a dark hole, struggling to make things work. Things slowly change when Selah meets Dex, a local state park ranger, who’s looking to take a hot-air balloon ride. Even though they hit it off, things hit a roadblock when it’s revealed Dex is planning on using the balloon ride to propose to his girlfriend, putting him off the market.

But as I stated earlier, things never turn out the way my characters expect. The proposal flight is a disaster, first with it getting rejected and then ending with a fateful burst of wind tipping the basket over upon landing, sending Selah into Dex’s lap. The whole situation is awkward and embarrassing for both parties, but neither one expects to ever see each other again.

Only a few months later, they do bump into each other, and though things start off a little bumpy, they start to develop a friendship with each other. This is pushed further when a social media post about them goes viral. And not only does Selah have trouble letting go of Dex, but she also discovers she’s just as attached not only to the hot-air balloon business started by her father but also to the area it’s connected to.

All these years of flying above the land in a hot-air balloon have etched themselves into her heart. It’s part of her and it’s a part of her family. She learns, as I had, that sometimes you’re surrounded by a beauty that you never expected to find.
