Jacqueline
“Jax” Rousseau is vivacious, rich, smart and beautiful…but that
doesn’t mean she’s lucky in love: she’s dated doctors, lawyers,
actors and politicians who’ve all managed to end up disappointing
her. In fact, she’s on a self-imposed hiatus from love when she
has an unpleasant run-in with her neighbor’s gorgeous new
landscaper, Gardener Lenox. Jax is not accustomed to gruff,
ill-mannered men that can’t be charmed, but something about Gard
intrigues her, and if she can find her way through the armor that
surrounds his heart, she also might find a love that won’t let her
down.

For as
long as Madeleine “Mad” Rousseau can remember, she’s been the

especially painful break-up, Mad decides she’s had enough of being
sweet. Children’s librarian during the day, she begins visiting
Philly’s seedier nightspots on a quest for adventure and
experience. When Cortlandt “Cort” Ambler, the ex-boyfriend of
Mad’s sister, Jax, saves her from disaster on one such evening, an
unlikely friendship is born between the rebellious librarian and the
moonlighting pianist…and two broken hearts begin a journey toward
being whole again.

Jean
Christian “J.C.” Rousseau’s reputation as a charming flirt has

gallery, it’s not long before he starts to fall for her, but he’s
going to have to rely on more than mere flirtation if he wants a shot
at winning her heart.

WHO
ARE THE ROUSSEAUS?
“Wes
wants to know what we think of the Rousseaus.”
From
across the table, Stratton’s head snapped up from canoodling with
Valeria. “We
think they’re assholes.”
--Wild
about Weston, The English Brothers #5
Dear
Readers,
I have
to tell you…my mind has been writing the stories of Jax, Mad and
J.C. Rousseau ever since they were first mentioned in The English
Brothers’ books:
Scorchingly-hot flirt J.C.,
who has charmed the pants off a hundred
women, but longs to find one who will challenge him to be more.
Strong, smart, sassy, go-getter Jax,
who rocks stilettos, barely takes a breath
between words and for whom true love has been strangely elusive.
Sweet, gentle Mad,
who has always wished she had half the
sass of her twin and longs for more drama and adventure in her ho-hum
life.
I know
that you are all going to fall head over heels for this trio of hot
siblings and their loves, including some already-introduced
characters (Libitz Feingold and Cortlandt Ambler) and some new
(Gardener Lenox!)
You may
not realize it, but if you’ve been reading the Blueberry Lane
Series from the beginning, you already know quite a lot about Jax,
Mad and J.C.. But for you newbies, I thought I’d compile a few
quotes from previous books to get you all better acquainted. Without
further ado…here’s a recap.
MEET
Jax, Mad & J.C.!!
Love,
Katy

Jacqueline
“Jax” Rousseau
“Hi,
Molly,” said the woman to her left. “I’m Jacqueline Rousseau.
J.C.’s sister.”
“But
everyone calls her Jax,” said the stunning woman sitting beside
Jax. “And I’m Madeline Rousseau, but everyone calls me Mad.”
“Jax
and Mad,” repeated Molly, offering them both a friendly smile,
while puzzling internally about such odd nicknames.
–Wild
about Weston, The English Brothers #5
Touching the mouse on her laptop gingerly, she
scrolled through a series of Jax-selfies taken an hour ago at the
same party Kate had been attending: Jax looking dark-haired,
dark-eyed and fierce, hand on a jutted hip in front of a
skyscraper-shaped ice sculpture…Jax and her twin sister, Mad,
pursing their red, shiny lips for the camera…Jax posing with one of
the Ambler sisters, her index finger caught between her teeth,
somehow managing to look both sexy and bored-to-tears at once…
Kate
kept skating through pictures and status updates, chuckling softly at
a quip about stiletto heels and rainy spring nights. Though they’d
been childhood acquaintances, Kate had only recently gotten to know
adult-Jax through a month’s worth of online lurking, and she liked
the feisty young brunette.
--Kiss
Me Kate, The English Brothers #6
When
their father had passed away a few years ago, they’d started the
Rousseau Trust together as a way of investing his vast fortune. Last
year, Jax had come on board after making a decision to attend law
school. –Kiss Me Kate,
The English Brothers #6
Lilliane
Rousseau beamed at Jacqueline and Madeline, who had recently insisted
they be called Jax and Mad in an episode of ridiculous teenage folly
that would almost certainly blow over by next week. –Kiss
Me Kate, The English Brothers #6
“He’s such a weirdo,” said Jax, shaking her head
at her older brother.
“I
guess it’s time to go,” agreed Mad with an embarrassed sigh.
The
twins shimmied to the edge of the trampoline, making it ripple and
breaking Étienne’s connection to Kate as she unclasped his hand.
--Kiss
Me Kate, The English Brothers #6
Jessica
turned to Kate. “Do you ever remember hearing about a
thing between Jax Rousseau and Cort Ambler?”
“Cort?”
Kate pursed her lips. “I don’t think
so.”
Jess
nodded, knowingly, moving Cort’s tiny place card away from the
Rousseaus. “I do.”
--Bidding
on Brooks, The Winslow Brothers #1
Suddenly the brunette
turned around, and Preston realized it was Jax Rousseau, his next
door neighbor from adjacent Chateau Nouvelle. He had recently heard
that Jax had joined a competing firm in entertainment law, though he
hadn’t had a chance to congratulate her yet…or tease her a little
bit about stealing her clients.
–Proposing to Preston, The Winslow Brothers #2
“Jax Rousseau, meet Elise Klassan. Elise, this is
Jax.”
“It’s
nice to meet you.”
“You
too,” said Jax, with a smile that doubled her considerable beauty.
“I loved you in The Awakening.
Hey! Let’s take a selfie!”
Surprised
but charmed by Jax Rousseau’s exuberant request, Elise nodded.
“Sure.”
Cheek
to cheek, Elise smiled for Jax’s camera and watched the brunette
load the picture onto Facebook before they sat down side by side on
the couch. Gene pulled up a chair across from them.
“So,
Elise…like I said, Jax is one of the Assistant Producers on the
project, and she’s also our legal contact in Philly.” He turned
to Jax. “Want to fill her in on the rest of the details, precious?”
“I’d
love it!” said Jax, flashing her million megawatt smile and turning
her whole body to face Elise. “High Society
is my favorite movie of all time, so obvi I love The
Philadelphia Story…when I bought the rights
to re-make a modern version and sold them to Warner, it was under the
condition that all shooting would take place on-site at my family’s
estate in Pennsylvania. You know, my little way of memorializing my
childhood home.”
“Wow,”
said Elise, realizing that despite this woman’s apparent youth, she
was a mover and shaker. “I love it…but, the rest of your family
doesn’t mind? Filming on location can be…intrusive.”
Jax
shrugged. “We don’t actually live there anymore. My oldest
brother recently relocated to New York. My twin sister and I have a
condo in Philly. My other brother lives with his fiancé, but they’re
getting married at Chateau Nouvelle this winter, which is why we need
to start filming right away. I promised Étienne and Kate we’d be
finished by October at the latest.”
“Chateau
Nouvelle?”
“The
name of the estate,” explained Jax. “They all have names in
Haverford.”
--Proposing
to Preston, The Winslow Brothers #2
Madeleine
“Mad” Rousseau
Their
other sister, Mad, had gone a completely different direction with her
life, and was the Assistant Children’s Librarian at one of the
larger branches of the Philadelphia Public Library. Mad didn’t have
the stomach for business—of all the Rousseau children, Madeleine
Rousseau was the sweetest, kindest, most tender-hearted. –Kiss
Me Kate, The English Brothers #6
Étienne
gave her a look then turned back to Mad, who picked up her coat from
an arm chair and quickly shrugged into it.
“I
have to get back to the library,” she said, giving her brother a
quick kiss, her cheeks still flaming.
“Already?”
“She’s
very important,” said Jax, waving goodbye to Mad and tugging
Étienne forward. “Young minds to mold and all that.”
“Dinner
on Friday night?” Étienne called after Mad.
“Yes.
At J.C.’s place,” she said, stepping into the waiting elevator as
the glass door whooshed closed.
He
turned back to Jax. “What’s up with her?”
“Boy,
you’re dense.”
“Am
I?”
“Hells,
yes.” Jax cocked her head to the side. “Can’t you tell? She’s
in love. Obvi.”
“What?
What the hell? With who?”
“Whom,”
corrected Jax.
“With
whom is our baby sister in love?” he asked,
realizing that Jax had somehow maneuvered him down the hall to his
office.
“I
could tell you,” said Jax, “but then I’d have to kill you. And
I like you way too much for murder.”
--Kiss
Me Kate, The English Brothers #6
Kate
bit her bottom lip wondering if he’d laugh at her dream of
sponsoring a special needs feline shelter in Philadelphia. “There
isn’t a shelter just for special needs animals in Philly. I was
thinking…”
“About
starting one? I bet my sister, Mad, would give you a hand. She’s a
softie too.”
“I
always liked Mad,” said Kate, loving it that he’d jumped on board
without ridiculing her or second-guessing her plans.
--Kiss
Me Kate, The English Brothers #6
Jean
Christian “J.C.” Rousseau
Alex
tracked Jessie with his eyes as she shook hands with some friends of
Cam’s, and his fingers fisted as he watched J.C. Rousseau look down
at her breasts, then widen his smile. –Anyone
but Alex, The English Brothers #3
Alex
English stepped up to the mic next and introduced himself with an
off-color joke. J.C. Rousseau laughed beside Molly, the low rumble
pleasing.
“Do
you know Alex?” J.C. asked her.
“Everyone
knows Alex,” whispered Jax, to her left.
“Not
me,” said Molly, smiling politely at J.C.’s younger sister.
“And
not you,” growled J.C. at Jax, with a direct look.
“Shut
up, J.C.,” said one of the Winslow brothers from across the table.
“He’s reformed.”
“Alex?
Never.”
The
Winslow brother seated next to the older Story sister—Molly
believed his name was Cameron—looked like steam was about to come
out of his ears. “Shut it, Rousseau. Ferme
la douche,
huh?”
J.C.
chuckled softly beside her, not the least bit bothered by the
Winslows’ hot-headed warnings.
–Wild
about Weston, The English Brothers #5
Swinging
his eyes to her other side, Weston clenched his jaw. J.C. Rousseau.
After Alex, the Rousseau brothers were the most notorious flirts of
Blueberry Lane. Damn. –Wild
about Weston, The English Brothers #5
Weston
wasn’t sure what was going on between Alex and Kate, but now wasn’t
the time to find out. J.C. Rousseau was Barrett’s age, which meant
that Barrett probably knew him best. He leaned over Kate a little.
“Barrett, what’s J.C. like?”
“Solid
businessman. Good with figures. Brokers international deals between—”
“Sweetheart,”
said Barrett’s fiancée, Emily, gently. “That’s not what Wes is
asking.”
“What’s
he asking?”
Emily’s
eyes widened and she licked her lips.
“Oh,”
said Barrett, his whole body shifting closer to Emily. “Oh.”
“Barrett?”
said Weston. “I’m over here.”
Barrett
turned back to Weston, but his eyes were darker and Weston noticed
his hand snake out and grab Emily’s, pulling it possessively into
his lap.
“What’s
he like with women? Charming. Smooth. He dated Hope for a while
before Alex did. But, I don’t hear bad things about him. He’s
certainly no Étienne…”
