Butler, Vermont series
by Marie Force
Blurb:
Wade Abbott is one and done.
One look, one conversation, one weekend, and he knows who he wants.
Except, Mia Simpson is not free to return his affection. In fact, he suspects she’s in an abusive marriage, but she never confirms that, and he has no choice but to mind his own business where she’s concerned.
Two years after they first met and a year after he last heard from her, Mia shows up half-frozen, bruised and beaten on his doorstep, needing something only Wade can provide.
He’s determined to make it work, no matter the cost. Grab the latest in a series you will fall in love with!ย

Excerpt:
Wade walked into the conference room and wanted to turn around and walk right back out. The table had been set with placemats as if they were hosting a dinner party. On each placemat was a wide array of products, things normally used in the privacy of oneโs bedroom and not laid out like a sexual buffet on the conference room table.
Will came in after him, took one look and groaned. โDo we hafta?โ
โDad says we hafta.โ
โMaybe we should look into a nursing home for him. He is getting on in years.โ
โI heard that, William,โ Lincoln said when he came in. โAnd good luck with that plan.โ
โI canโt sit in a room with my sisters and talk about sex toys,โ Will said.
โYes, you can. Think of them the same way you would anything else we carryโfoot fungus cream or hemorrhoid remedies or yeast infection cures.โ
โWe donโt have to have special training for any of those products,โ Will said.
โUm, I did,โ Wade said. As director of health and wellness, heโd been trained in all the products offered in the storeโs apothecary.
โNot with Charley in the room,โ Will said of the more obnoxious of their three sisters.
โTrue,โ Wade conceded.
โThis product line has nothing to do with me,โ Will said. โItโs not Vermont Made. Why do I have to be trained on it?โ
โVery good question, Will,โ Hunter said when he joined them. โIโm an accountant. Why do I need to know about this?โ
โBecause weโre going to have to train the sales team on the floor and at the distribution center,โ Linc said, โso we need to be able to answer their questions. And we donโt ask anything of our employees that we arenโt willing to do ourselves.โ
Most of their โsales teamโ were grandmothers whoโd worked for the company for decades. The thought of indoctrinating them on this product line had given Wade nightmares for months. Fortunately, the contractor from the company that produced the line would be doing most of the heavy lifting. But he had to be in the room. He didnโt want to be in the room.
โI donโt work with the sales team,โ Hunter said. โThey wonโt be asking me questions, so I donโt need to be in this meeting.โ
โI never realized Iโd raised such a bunch of prudes,โ Linc said. โWhere did your mother and I go wrong?โ
Molly breezed into the conference room. โAre they being prudes, love?โ
โYou warned me they would be,โ Linc said, accepting a kiss from his wife, who marched right over to one of the place settings and began picking up and examining the various objects. She pushed a button on one of them, and it roared to life, making her laugh.
โI canโt,โ Hunter said, staring at their mother, eyes agog. โI just canโt.โ
โOh, sit down and be quiet,โ Molly said. โThese things are going to generate revenue unlike anything weโve ever seen. Think about the money youโll get to count, Hunter. That always makes you happy.โ
โPut that thing down, Mom,โ Will said, โand never touch it again.โ
Elmer came bustling in, stopping short at the sight of his daughter holding a phallic object. โOh. Well. Here we go, then.โ
โWhat,โ Will said, โis he doing here?โ
โIโm the reason youโre here, young man, so Iโll remind you to mind your manners.โ
โAre you providing counseling for those of us whoโre going to be traumatized by this?โ Will asked his father.
โSit down and chill,โ Linc said. โIt wonโt be that bad.โ
Elmer hit the power button on one of the devices, and it launched right out of his hand.
โIt will be that bad,โ Will said, slumping into a chair with Hunter next to him.
โDid they bring blindfolds?โ Hunter asked. โThatโd help.โ
Believe it or not, it goes downhill from there. Read all about it and find out what happens when the woman Wade Abbott has longed for shows up beaten and half-frozen on his doorstep, asking for something only Wade can give her. Here Comes the Sun is out on Tuesday!
