In this post, I’m sharing my recipe for Rocky Road! Before you get a bowl and spoon ready for ice cream, I’ll point out that Rocky Road is the title of my next book. 🙂
I began with a hero named Jude Camden . . . .
Then I stirred in a heroine named Gemma Clare . . . .
To that mixture, I added a fun plot line . . . .
Finally, I sprinkled in a family mystery from the past, a Maine setting, banter, humor, and lots of romance. Here’s the back cover blurb . . . .
FBI Agent Jude Camden handles every aspect of his job with by-the-book professionalism. There’s no reason why his latest assignment—which calls for him to pose as the boyfriend of perfumer Gemma Clare—should be any different.
Except Gemma is different. She’s creative, bold, and feisty. And as soon as she meets Jude, she wants to loosen him up, wrinkle his perfect shirts, and test every ounce of his towering self-control.
The FBI has an iron-clad rule against romances between those working together on operations. Jude’s never met a rule he didn’t respect. But adhering to this one is going to be tough because, as time goes by, he finds Gemma more and more irresistible.
Buckle up! It’s going to be a rocky road.
My recipe resulted in the following cover, designed by my talented writer friend Courtney Walsh . . . .
Rocky Road’s print book, ebook, and audiobook are currently available for pre-order on my web site. The ebook is also up for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Apple, and more. If you’d like to add it to your “want to read” shelf on Goodreads, I’d love for you to do so here.
I know many of you enjoyed the swag boxes I offered for Memory Lane. I’ll be doing swag boxes again for Rocky Road, but making them available through my website instead of Kickstarter this time. Those will likely become available to order in November. I’ll create versions of the swag boxes with or without the book. So, for example, if you want to pre-order the book now and consider a swag box later, you certainly could.
I’m sticking with a Valentine’s Day release because that was so much fun last year and also because I want to give myself plenty of time to get everything–including the audiobook–ready to go on that day.
One last announcement before I go . . . .
The ebook of Memory Lane, book 1 of my Sons of Scandal series, is on sale for the next few days for just $2.99 at all your favorite online retailers. Now is a great time to snag a copy and escape to a romance in Maine!
What do you think of Rocky Road’s cover?

I love it and can’t wait!!!!!
Thanks Shelley!!
Anything with a lighthouse catches my attention. I love the modern take on art that screams romance—still hoping you rewrite your ice cream scene to Rocky Road ice cream!
I plan to do exactly that! 🙂
Oh, Becky, Rocky Road has such a beautiful cover! Well done, Courtney, as always! I love the way it ties in so well to Memory Lane’s cover, but readers definitely won’t be confusing the two, with the main colour difference. I can’t wait to read this book. I’m sure it will be another brilliant read. Becky, your books are such a blessing! Thank you.
Thank you for this encouragement, Natalie. Reading this has gotten my morning off to a great start!
This book sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing all of this.
Thank you, Betty!
Looking forward to reading Jude’s story!
Fun!
Can’t wait!!!!
