Hurray! Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband is here!
When billionaire Gabriel inherits his grandmother’s fortune, he becomes the world’s first trillionaire, never expecting her assets to include penniless, ex-beauty queen turned hacker Luli. After years of being sheltered in a Singapore mansion, Luli wants the freedom to run her own life, but the quickest way to get that is to tie herself to Gabriel in a marriage of convenience. Can she trust him to let her go when the time comes? Will she want him to when their chemistry is off the charts?
I was thrilled to see this one get the *HJ Recommends* banner over at Harlequin Junkie where they said:
“Strong characters and unique circumstances make for a thoroughly enjoyable romance!”
You can find this one in print at your favourite bookseller or online at any of your favourite platforms.

Fun news! The second book in my Wrong Heirs duet, The Consequence He Must Claim is free until Dec 2019 when you sign up for a subscription at TryHarlequin.com.
This is one of my favorite books. I love that Cesar has amnesia and doesn’t even remember making love to Sorcha, let alone getting her pregnant. He learns he has a child when the baby swap happens and a nurse calls to request he take a blood test. Here’s Cesar’s reaction:
“Are you telling me you want me to provide a sample for a paternity test?” he asked in disbelief.
“Please don’t mistake me. We have no reason to doubt Sorcha Kelly’s identification of you as the father. The issue is whether she is the mother of the baby she is currently nursing. As you can imagine, we’re anxious to have this cleared up.”
He couldn’t speak. It took him a long moment to realize he wasn’t thinking any thoughts. His mind was completely blank.
The Consequence He Must Claim will be your gateway into a few more books. The first half of the baby swap is The Marriage He Must Keep where you’ll get all the juicy details on how and why the baby swap happens.
Then, later this year, look for Cesar’s siblings to each find their soul mate:
In The Maid’s Spanish Secret, Cesar’s brother Rico discovers Poppy went back to Canada with a consequence of her own after their brief affair.
In Bound by Their Nine-Month Scandal, Cesar’s sister Pia has a scandalous encounter with a stranger at a masked ball and soon discovers such impulsive behaviours also have consequences…
Happy reading!

Have you been wondering what happened to Gisella and Rozalia’s cousin Ben? Do you want to know who betrayed him and how he recovered from nearly ruining his whole family?
I’m so excited to tell you his story, Innocent’s Pregnancy Revelation, will begin posting as a serialized, free online read at Harlequin.com today.
When I wrote the first book in my Barsi on Fifth duet, A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire, I needed Kaine to have a grudge against Gisella’s family.
Enter Ben, one of Gizi’s many cousins. Initially I pictured him as an incompetent nerd. When it came time to write him, however, he turned out to be a sexy alpha hero. Which meant he had to have his own story–and needed to be betrayed by his own libido–*wink!*
Along came Henriqua, a very beautiful geologist. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is a revelation of a pregnancy by an innocent in this story.
NOTE: This romance is serialized and will post one chapter each weekday from April 22-May 17th. You’ll have to set up an account at Harlequin.com to read it, but it is completely free to read once you log in. Enjoy!

Happy Monday!
My week has started with a cover for the UK version of The Maid’s Spanish Secret. Doesn’t Rico look suitably salty about past betrayals?
He is very dismayed. And when he learns that not only did his now dead wife cheat on him and use him, the one woman who had seemed a sweet light in an otherwise dark life kept his child from him.
Poppy felt used herself. Rico’s engagement had shattered like the priceless vase his fiancee had smashed as she left him. She and Rico had been commiserating and one thing led to another, but by the time she realized was pregnant, he was married. She’s been thinking about tell him, but had good reasons to put it off.
When he shows up on her doorstep, however, everything changes.
The Maid’s Spanish Secret comes out in August, but if you happen to be suffering the Monday Morning Blues and need something to distract you at your desk… Start reading here.

Happy Tuesday! I just caught a glimpse of Poppy and Rico from The Maid’s Spanish Secret and it’s so sweet and tender. I love it!
Fun Fact: Poppy is Canadian. She’s on holiday in Spain when she winds up robbed and broke. She goes to work in Rico’s parents’ mansion and, on her last day of work, has a tryst with the spare, Rico. His engagement has just ended and Poppy is finally heading back to Canada–but #spoileralert–she unknowingly carries a souvenir of their encounter.
Two years later, Rico is the one who feels robbed on many levels, most especially when he discovers he has a secret daughter. Here’s the back cover copy:
“You will come to Spain. You will marry me…”
He will claim his heir
For sweet maid Poppy Harris, her one and only passionate experience was scorching and absolutely forbidden. She shouldn’t have succumbed to Spanish aristocrat Rico Montero’s tantalizing seduction, but his touch was all consuming…and had a nine-month consequence! Poppy believes they could never be anything more. Until Rico appears on her doorstep demanding his hidden daughter—and determined to make Poppy his wife!
This marriage of convenience is a roller-coaster and has one of the most dramatic endings I’ve ever written. I hope you love it!
(But you’ll have to wait until August to read it. I’m sorry! <<--also Canadian.)

Rozi heads to Budapest in search of her grandmother’s heirloom earring only to wind up in billionaire Viktor’s arms. He’s the rightful owner of the earring–or so he thinks. Soon the earring is stolen, family secrets are out of the closet, and a baby is on the way. Can this lost pair ever be united?
There’s been lots of love over on Goodreads for Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal including fun reviews like Owlways Reading’s:
“Oh my goodness… I love this book! I think I just OD’d on feels…”
Start reading here…
Fun Fact: Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal is Book Two in my lost earring (Barsi on Fifth) duet. If you missed the first book, it’s called A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire.
Another Fun Fact: this duet has three stories! Watch for Ben Barsi’s romance in Innocent’s Pregnancy Revelation, coming Apr 22 as a free online read at Harlequin.com.

Waking to a new cover is *the best*. This is the UK version of Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband.
What does ‘ultra’ rich entail? Well, take your average billionaire and make him the world’s first trillionaire and you have Gabriel Dean, a man so over-the-top wealthy he has a super sonic jet in his fleet of air travel options.
When he inherits his grandmother’s fortune, he also inherits Luli, a destitute assistant who is soon swept up in his world. Enjoy the ride with her!
And what do you think of this gorgeous cover? I always love it when they use the art from the North American version.

Sometimes reading is harder than math….
This morning I sent out my twice-monthly newsletter (are you a member? You can sign up here and you’ll get Cruel Summer as a welcome gift.)
I stated that my 30th book was out today, which is true per the Harlequin email I received this morning. EXCEPT, when I re-read it, I realized they had said Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal was my 30th (it comes out today on Harlequin, next month officially.)
Since today is the official release day for A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire my wee brain got confused and I made the graphic with the wrong cover. Derp.
Here is the correct graphic and YAY! Thirty books! (Although, part of me wants to go back and check that milestone email and see if I’m on there at all. At this point, I’m thinking I made the whole thing up.)
