SUMMER DAYS is the perfect beach read. It’s funny, romantic,
sexy, and it’s light both in tone and in actual weight – you can toss the
paperback into your beach bag and go. (It’s also available wherever ebooks are
sold.)
Heidi Simpson had a vagabond childhood with her grandfather.
The one thing she wanted most in the world was a home of her own. Now, in her
late 20s, she finally has one, but her ranch is put on the line by a scam her
grandfather pulled in order to pay for a friend’s surgery. Rafe Stryker is the
son of the woman whose money was stolen, and the first of the Stryker brothers
to move to Fool’s Gold. He’s on a tear when he arrives, determined to protect
his mother’s interests at all costs.
Since possession is nine-tenths of the law, neither is
willing to leave the ranch until a judge can decide the matter. Sparks fly
right from page one between Heidi and Rafe! The people of Fool’s Gold take
sides in a pretty hysterical way.
You can find SUMMER DAYS wherever books are sold –
bookstores, online, even the grocery store check-out line. You can read a free
excerpt on my website, www.susanmallery.com

Oh, the cheerleaders are beyond fabulous! This year’s squad
is made up of 60 Fool’s Gold super fans who are earning prizes all summer for
telling other readers about Fool’s Gold. They’re driving around with Fool’s
Gold car magnets, wearing Fool’s Gold T-shirts, handing out bookmarks like
candy to everyone they meet.
SUMMER DAYS is the seventh book in my series set in
fictional Fool’s Gold, California. Fool’s Gold is a small town in the foothills
of the Sierra Nevada. It’s a quaint place where people truly support each other
– mostly with casseroles. And margaritas. Women rule in Fool’s Gold. For many
years, there was a man shortage, which is just now beginning to level out,
thanks to the town’s efforts to bring in some pretty spectacular men.
Fool’s Gold is the most popular series I’ve ever written. In
fact, last year, one of the Fool’s Gold books hit #3 on the New York Times and
#8 on the USA Today bestsellers lists. Those were personal bests for me and
very thrilling.
Each book is written as a standalone, which means that you
can jump in and start with SUMMER DAYS, and you won’t feel lost or confused.
While previous characters make an appearance, you don’t need to know their
stories to understand this one.
With each year’s Fool’s Gold books, I try to create heroes who represent iconic male archetypes. The men of Fool’s Gold have been athletes, businessmen, pilots, surgeons. Each is a leader, powerful in his own way. His strength goes deeper than the physical. He does what’s right even when it’s not easy. When he falls, he falls hard… and he loves forever.
This summer, three cowboy brothers will ride into Fool’s
Gold on horseback in SUMMER DAYS, SUMMER NIGHTS, and ALL SUMMER LONG. The
Stryker men represent everything I love about a cowboy hero. They are protective,
honest, tall and strong. And wow, do they do nice things to a pair of blue
jeans!
Since this is Fool’s Gold, these cowboys come with a special
twist – humor. Rafe is undone by Heidi the Goat Girl. Shane has to teach the
local librarian how to do the ancient Dance of the Happy Virgin – while riding
a horse. And Clay, the youngest, made his fortune as a Hollywood butt double.
In SUMMER NIGHTS (July), Shane Stryker will meet Annabelle
who, oh my WORD, do I love! Annabelle is my gift to all the librarians who have
supported me so wonderfully over the years, putting my books into readers’
hands with a fervent, “You’re going to love this!” Annabelle is a librarian who
defies the stereotypes – she’s fashionable, modern… a dangerous, pint-sized
sexpot, as far as Shane is concerned. He’s completely undone by her the first
time they meet, so much so that he can’t even remember his own name.
Then comes Charlie, to be paired with Clay in ALL SUMMER
LONG (August). Oh, Charlie. She’s so tough and oh, so wounded. She’s got that
hard-as-nails firefighter exterior, but when it comes to matters of the heart,
she is as vulnerable as they come. Something happened in Charlie’s past that
has made her afraid of intimacy with a man. She’s the kind of person who
tackles her problems head-on, much to Clay Stryker’s delight. She’s determined
to learn how to be with a man, and she’s decided to ask Clay to teach her.

I am a Fool's Gold Cheerleader. I am having a ton of fun!! I love Susan Mallery & Fool's Gold!!
Rafe & Heidi has a great chemistry together even though they are both stubborn. I feel so bad for Heidi, who finally has a home of her own. Rafe swore he would never go back to Fool's Gold, but he did it for his mother. I love May. She was something else! If you are looking for a good romance book, then this is it! You won't be disappointed!
I Love Susan
I Love Fool's Gold
I Love Summer Days!!!!
I love this story. Rafe and Heidi are great together. :)
Thank you Susan for another great book!!!
Can't wait for Summer Nights!! June 26th!!
Great post! Susan's Fool's Gold series is fabulous and the latest cowboys who ride into town are a must read! Summer Days and Summer Nights are both great books. You will not be disappointed!
Since June, I have also read Summer Nights. It has became my favorite of all of the Fool’s Gold books. Summer Nights is another great summer read. Annabelle is caring, a great friend, & so sweet! I love that Annabelle wanted to learn how to ride a horse for her fundraiser for her bookmobile. There is 1 thing that I absolutely love a lot & it has to do with Shane, but I am not going to give it away.
