Want to know how to read the Buxton Peak series?
Start with the prequel to the original trilogy, Buxton Peak: The Early Years.
Next read either Buxton Peak Book One: Who Is Ian Taylor? or (preferably) Billionaire Rock Star Romance: A Buxton Peak Clean Romance. They are basically the same story, but rewritten, expanded, and enhanced.
After reading either Book One or Billionaire Rock Star Romance, read Buxton Peak Book Two: Center Stage, then Buxton Peak: London Bridges (a bridge story between Book Two and Book Three), followed by the conclusion of the series, Buxton Peak Book Three: The End of the Beginning.
However... I strongly recommend skipping everything I just said and go straight for Buxton Peak: The Complete Collection! It is more than a boxed set and includes over 11,000 words of bonus material that has never been published, including Ian Taylor's journal entries and many bonus scenes and chapters. In my opinion, this is the way Buxton Peak was meant to be read!

Billionaire Rock Star Romance by Julie Spencer
Billionaire rock star, Ian Taylor, controls everything in
his life… except love.
His girlfriend dumped him on New Year’s Eve, and everyone
else becomes close to him for his money and fame. His best chance at finding
love is to meet a girl who has no idea he’s a rock star.
Quiet, unassuming Megan wants nothing to do with love. Her
goal is to finish her last year of college, focused on her studies. Having a
boyfriend can wait until after graduation.
When they meet in the most unlikely place for romance, Ian’s
ready to win Megan’s hesitant heart, but not ready to reveal his superstar
identity.
Once she learns the truth, Megan finds that she doesn’t fit
into Ian’s world of private jets, backstage parties, and star-crazed girls
throwing themselves at him.
Can Megan see past Ian’s dishonesty and lifestyle? Or will
their love song end before it’s begun?

Buxton Peak: London Bridges Chapter Two: Tulips and Ivy
He looked across the table
to the elegant bar situated in the center of the restaurant. Andy had forgotten
how much it dominated the main dining area at The Ivy. Crystal glasses hung
from racks, glittering in the soft overhead lighting.
If only one of those crystal
glasses could be sitting in front of him filled with a fine wine, or better
yet, a nice glass of scotch over ice. Stop it, Andy!
Being a recovering addict was
never easy, but sitting at a table overlooking a bar stocked with every
imaginable delicacy was almost more than he could bear.
He turned his head and gave
Vanessa his full attention. “What do you do when you’re not on holiday in
London, toying with the hearts of unsuspecting rock stars?”
“Toying?” Vanessa placed her
hand in front of her mouth, feigning shock at his accusation. “You make me
sound so vindictive.”
“Well, aren’t you?” Andy leaned
closer and lowered his head to look her in the eye. “Toying with me?”
“I’m merely enjoying a lovely
day of shopping with a handsome man, and a fine dinner at his favorite
restaurant.” She lowered her eyes and pouted in true Southern-belle fashion.
“Although, I am disappointed that you never took me to see the garden.”
“The garden?” Andy cocked his
head to the side.
“Yes, you said we were going to
visit the Covent Garden.”
“We’ve been here all day,” Andy
said.
“Where are the flowers?”
“They stopped selling flowers
in the 1970s, I think.”
“Then why do they call it a
garden?” Vanessa asked.
“Because…” Andy stammered on
his words. “I dunno. That’s just what it’s called. This area used to be
well-known for its wholesale flowers. Now it’s just a very large shopping area,
but it used to supply flowers to the whole country.”
“Well, I’ll expect you to bring
me flowers the next time you take me on a date. It’s only fair since you didn’t
bring me to a garden.”
“I suppose that can be
arranged.” Andy reached over and took her hand, giving it a little squeeze.
“But first I need to know about you. For starters, what’s your favorite
flower?”
“That is for you to figure
out.” Vanessa walked her fingers up his arm and then poked him on his lips. Two
lips? Maybe she likes tulips!
“Okay, no more stalling,” Andy
scolded her. “Tell me more about Vanessa. Do you have a job?”
“Yes, I do.” Vanessa batted her
eyelashes.
“You’re not going to make me
guess that too. Are you?” Oh, crap. Another ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question. “Let me
rephrase that. What do you do for a living?”
“I’m a hairstylist.” Vanessa
reached across and laced her fingers into Andy’s hair. He almost moaned
audibly. “And I am dying to get my hands on that mop of yours!”
“Mop?” Andy feigned insult. “I
am a rock star. There is nothing wrong with me having long hair.”
“How long has it been since a
stylist has gotten her hands on you?” Vanessa raised her eyebrows.
“About fifteen seconds ago, and
I wish she’d put her hands right back into my hair.”
“I will not touch your hair
again until I have a pair of scissors in my hand,” she said.
Andy looked around as if to
find a pair of scissors.
“And before you get any ideas
about asking our waiter for a pair of scissors, I’ll add a caveat. I will not
cut your hair unless you are sitting in my salon… in Nashville.”
“What time does our flight
leave, again?” Andy leaned forward and rested his elbow on the table, staring
intently into Vanessa’s eyes.
“My flight leaves in two days,
well,” Vanessa looked at her watch, “a day and a half, actually.”
“Well then, you’re going to
have to go out with me again tomorrow,” Andy said.
“Why’s that?”
“Because I haven’t had a chance
to kiss you yet.”
“Is that so?” Vanessa leaned
forward on her elbow opposite him and smirked. Her face was close enough to his
that it would have taken little effort to close the distance and connect. But
he didn’t. Torturing her was almost as much fun as her torturing him.
“Do you folks need a few more
minutes with the menus?” their server interrupted. Andy and Vanessa didn’t
flinch.
“I think I’ve decided what I want….”
Andy said.
“I’ll bet you have,” Vanessa
drawled in her adorable Southern accent. She broke eye contact first and smiled
sweetly at the server. “What would you suggest? What’s your favorite thing on
the menu?”
“Uh…” The server cleared his
throat and gulped, clearly affected by her flirting. Andy almost laughed out
loud, glad he wasn’t the only man in the room completely entranced with
Vanessa. “Well, we’re famous for our Shepherd’s Pie.”
“I don’t really care what
you’re famous for,” Vanessa said, waving her hand dismissively. “I wanna know
what’s your favorite.”
“I really love the seared
scallops.” The waiter smiled down at Vanessa and then glanced at Andy and
looked away.
“Then that is what I’ll have.”
Vanessa sat back and crossed her arms, winking over at Andy. He didn’t release
her gaze as he gave his request to the server.
“I’d like a steak, medium
rare.”
“Ribeye, fillet, or sirloin?”
“Fillet,” Andy said. “No…
ribeye. No, fillet. Yeah, I’ll stick with a fillet.”
“I thought you said you already
knew what you wanted.” Vanessa raised her eyebrows.
“For dinner, I want a fillet.”
Andy felt Vanessa’s foot tickle his calf muscle under the table, and he almost
jumped out of his chair. He cleared his throat and looked up at the server. “With
heritage potatoes, please.”
“As you wish, sir.” The waiter
scribbled on his little pad of paper.
Andy shook his head
infinitesimally and smirked at Vanessa.
“Would the two of you like any
starters?”
“Want to try the fried duck
egg?” Andy asked Vanessa.
“That sounds disgusting.”
Vanessa’s sweet tone could have easily substituted ‘delightful’ for
‘disgusting’ and not miss a beat.
“How about a nice spinach
salad?” Andy suggested.
“Much better,” she said.
When the server was finished
getting all the details for their selections of dressings and sides, he offered
them the perfect wine to go with their choices of meals. Andy politely
declined, and the man left them alone.
“You are in so much trouble,
you little vixen,” Andy murmured, a cheesy grin hovering on his face. “You are
going to be the death of me.”
“Well, I wouldn’t want to kill
you,” Vanessa said, placing her hands in her lap and sitting up straight. “You
haven’t even kissed me yet.”
“I’m afraid to kiss you now.”
Vanessa’s expression shifted
from teasing to smoldering. “You won’t be when the time is right.”
This time when Andy fought to
stay in his seat, it wasn’t due to shock but pure emotional desire. He knew in
that moment he was no longer tempted by anything behind that bar. All he wanted
was to see her soft smile across the table for the rest of his life.

How to Send a Document to Your Kindle
Step One: Find your Kindle email. Go into Amazon.com and
make sure you are logged in.
Hover over ‘Your Account’ and scroll down to ‘Manage Your
Account and Devices.’ Select the tab called ‘Your Devices’ and you should see
at least one box that has your Kindle's name on it. I have two of them: Julie's
Kindle Cloud Reader and Julie's Android Device.
What you're looking for is a tiny email that
should be right there on the main page. Mine is called juliespencer1998@Kindle.com (write
your Kindle email down).
On that screen, go to the tab called ‘Settings’ and scroll
down to ‘Send to Kindle Email Settings’ right below that should be ‘Approved
Personal Document Email List,’ be sure your own personal email is on that list.
Step Two: In your personal email account, attach a document
to a blank email (document can be Mobi, Word, or PDF). In the subject line type
the word ‘Convert’ and send the email to your Kindle email from your personal
email. Within a few minutes of sending that, the document should show up in
your Kindle!
Step Three: Read! (That’s my favorite part!)
Don’t have a
Kindle? If you have a computer and/or smart phone you can download the
FREE Kindle Cloud Reader directly from Amazon. It’s been a long time since I’ve
done that so I don’t know exactly how to get to it on Amazon. I searched on the
Amazon search bar for ‘Kindle Cloud Reader’ and the top thing that pulled up
was a little box that said ‘Access Kindle Cloud Reader’. I suggest doing the
Cloud version rather than the PC or Android or MAC version because you can read
it on any device and it marks your place. If I’m reading on the phone and then
later pull the same book up on my computer screen, it goes right to the correct
spot! After you have the cloud loaded on your phone or computer, follow the
other instructions on this page!
Author: Instructions on how to obtain a free Mobi file

“I’m going to send you an email with just the Mobi file
attached and the word ‘Convert’ in the subject line. All you have to do is
forward that email to your Kindle email account and within a few minutes of
sending that, the document should show up in your Kindle.”

England, 1819
While British high society primps and plays, the
impoverished citizens of London languish. But there are those fighting for the
freedom of common citizens—including two members of the aristocracy who
secretly champion revolution. In the drawing rooms of the upper class, Lady
Amanda and Lord Nathaniel flirt and tease with the best of them as she pretends
to win every heart in London for sport, and he, to conquer them. But in truth,
their flirtation is merely a façade designed to keep their clandestine actions
hidden from the ton—and from each other. When Nathaniel presents himself as a
potential suitor, the attraction between the two is undeniable—but the faces
they portray to the world are not enough to win each other’s hearts.
While their crusade for London’s poor unites them more
deeply than they could imagine, Amanda and Nathaniel struggle to trust one
another with their true ideals and identities. But when the call to action
leads Amanda into the path of danger, she can only hope that Nathaniel will see
through her frivolous pretense. Because now, only the aid of the suitor she
loves most—but trusts least—can save her.

Sometimes Love Can Be Arranged.
Arav Shetty had it all. The handsome, self-made billionaire topped the list of New York’s most eligible bachelors and sat at the helm of the city’s biggest tech empire. He also had a plan - buy out the brilliant upstart nipping at his heels, and dominate as the biggest and best tech company in New York.
The strategy had worked for him in the past. He had the resources and skills to pull it off. And, he was determined to overcome his father’s dark legacy, and prove he had what it took to stay on top. Nothing would distract him from his goal. He’d buy out his biggest rival but the company’s owner, Nisha Jain wasn’t the pushover he believed.
Nisha Jain had a plan, too. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, her early years had been a carefully scripted fairy tale. She was determined to make everyone sit up and notice when she achieved stupendous success - without her father's money or brand influence. She knew she was on the right path when her biggest competitor wanted to meet with her.
But when they met, nothing went as planned.
Neither expected the instant spark of attraction, nor the hurtful words tossed around like confetti. With meddling family members and an arranged marriage thrown into the mix, the fate of both companies - and Arav and Nisha’s undeniable attraction – hung precariously. What was supposed to be a cakewalk became more complicated than either ever imagined.
Compromises needed to be made. But between a billionaire whose life work is on the line and an heiress out to prove her own worth, who would blink first?

Cover Reveal Buxton Peak: London Bridges
Buxton Peak: London Bridges is in the final editing stage so I thought I'd reveal the cover for all the world to see!
This will be the first Romance book in the Buxton Peak series, but not the last. I just started working on another one!
Buxton Peak: London Bridges is a bridge story between Books Two and Three in the Buxton Peak series, and takes place during the time period when Kai and Ian are in Michigan, and Gary and Andy are in London. The title is also a play on words implying a comparison to that fateful day when the original London Bridge came falling down. Hmm... I wonder whatever could have inspired that analogy! I'll let your mind wander.
For now, allow me to share the back copy for my soon-to-be new release.

When he meets Megan, a small town college girl at church in a remote part of Michigan, he figures out pretty quickly that she knows nothing about him. So he makes the decision to hide his fame from her.
His plan backfires when Megan finds out who he really is and decides she doesn’t want to live her life in his spotlight, with all the baggage that comes with it. She just wants to live a quiet life in rural Michigan with a normal husband and family.
Can she forgive Ian for his deception (and embarrassing her on live television)? Is she willing to give up her dreams in order to follow his? Or will Ian throw away everything he’s achieved to stay in her life?

Tony Cahill is at the top of his game as the starting kicker
for the Scranton Sparrows. A crushing hit places him on the injured list, but
even worse is the news of his grandfather’s passing. If that isn’t enough, his
grandmother shares her desire to move back home to Sweet Grove but she is
hiding something.
Once they reach Sweet Grove he is surprised by his usually healthy grandmother’s decline. Meagan Rowe, his grandmother’s new nurse/companion is an unexpected pleasure. She is the only woman with the ability to take his breath away when he’s in her presence. He can’t help but be drawn to her no matter how many miles will soon separate them. Though she seems a little young and overqualified as a support care worker, her energy and zest for life makes her perfect for his grandmother.
Meagan Rowe has lived in Sweet Grove for most of her life. It was a place of refuge after the death of her twin brother. Her brother’s terminal illness influenced her decision to become a nurse practitioner. For years it was the only career that made sense, both to her heart and for her family’s decimated budget. She loves helping people whom others have given up hope on but has begun to wonder if her chosen path is just a way to keep her brother close.
Imagine her distress when she discovers that the handsome and charming grandson of the sweet woman she cares for is on the Upton Foundation's board of directors. The same foundation that denied her family the financial help needed to take care of her brother as they felt he deserved.
Will hard feelings and a heartbreaking secret sideline this budding romance?
