Hunches, horse races, and heartbreak

Ten years after Simone Payton broke his heart, all Roscoe Winston wants is a doughnut. He'd also like to forget her entirely, but that's never going to happen. Roscoe Winston remembers everything—every look, every word, every single unrequited second—and the last thing he needs is another memory of Simone.

Unfortunately, after one chance encounter, Simone keeps popping up everywhere he happens to be . . .

Ten years after Roscoe Winston dropped out of her life, all Simone Payton wants is to exploit him. She'd also like some answers from her former best friend about why he ghosted her, but if she never gets those answers, that's a-okay. Simone let go of the past a long time ago. Seriously, she has. She totally, totally has. She is definitely not still thinking about Roscoe. Nope. She's more than happy to forget he exists.

But first, she needs just one teeny-tiny favor . . .

Dr. Strange Beard is book #5 in the Winston Brothers series. Each book is a standalone, full length (110k words), contemporary romantic comedy novel, and follows the romantic exploits and adventures of one of the six Winston Brothers.

"Obviously, I love Dr. Strange Beard, and I haven't even mentioned how much I adore the secondary characters, who enhance and add magic to the story, or how I intermittently and spontaneously barked with laughter, or how the plot is original, nuanced and wonderfully eccentric... I will happily submit to "The Penny Reid Effect" any day of the week." -Mary Dubé, Happy Ever After, USA Today

"Truth or Beard not only entertained the heck out of me, it made me desperate to read every single brother's story. It amazes me how much individuality each brother has and I already know that the Winston Brothers series is going to be a firm favorite on my shelf. Five out of five stars!"

-Samantha Young, New York Times, USA TODAY and Wall Street Journal bestselling author
