Hot Off The Press

My 30th Harlequin!

Mar 1, 2019

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.)

Earring Duet – A Double Whammy

Mar 1, 2019

I managed to get a shelfie with A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire thanks to my local Pharmasave.

If you haven’t found Kaine and Gisella on a shelf near you, I hope A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire is arriving promptly on your eReader today. If not, your buy links to download today are here.

Over on Goodreads, Reviewer Ivy describes A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire as:

A quite enjoyable twist of two favourite tropes: the vengeful H and the fake engagement.

She goes on to say:

I can’t wait to read Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal, because cousin Rozi seems so cute and endearing while Viktor is an intriguing and mysterious hottie Hungarian H.

I can’t wait for you to read their story, either!

Good news, if you’re anxious to get your hands on Rozi and Viktor, they’re available to download today on Harlequin and Mills & Boon UK.

Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal releases on all digital platforms April 1st (no foolin’!) You can read an excerpt here or pre-order here.

Look for A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire on shelves now!

Feb 19, 2019

I’ve been haunting our local shops, hoping to take a selfie with A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire but half the time I’m fresh from the gym–not ready for my close-up. The rest of the time, I’m shovelling my driveway and skipping the gym, not leaving the house at all.

Perhaps I’ll have better luck if I ask you, Dear Reader, to take a shelfie with Kaine and Gisella from A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire and tag me with it on social media? It should be out in the wild by now.

Happy hunting!

Thank You Dear Reader!

Feb 2, 2019

I popped onto the Mills & Boon site to make sure A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire was available so I could give you the link for early purchase.

To what did my wondering eyes did appear? A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire is #1!

Thank you so much!!

I’m thrilled so many readers are eager to get a jump on this duet about a pair of jewelry-designing cousins who are obsessed with recovering their grandmother’s heirloom earrings.

In this first one, Gisella loses the earring to Kaine at an auction. He has a score to settle with her family and holds it for ransom, determined Gisella risk the family reputation to even things up. Their sexual tension is off the charts. What will happen when he discovers she’s completely innocent?

Fun fact: There will be a free bonus story on Harlequin.com later this spring about a third cousin, Ben, called Innocent’s Pregnancy Revelation. Stay tuned here or join my Dear Reader newsletter. I’ll send you the link when it goes live.

If you haven’t yet downloaded this one, you can get it now directly from Harlequin or Mills & Boon UK now.

A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire will be available on all the usual digital retailers on March 1st. Pre-Order are here.

Thank you again! You’re the best!

Alpine racer Ilke loses her shot at gold and returns to Blue Spruce Lodge, pregnant and looking to the father for help. She had a one-night fling with single-dad Nate, who had no intention of having more kids. They’re strangers and struggle to find the best way forward only to have life deal them a blow that pulls them together in a way they didn’t expect. It’s poignant and sexy and sweet and I’m pretty sure you’ll fall for Nate’s son, Aiden.

Cover Reveal! Untouched Until Her Ultra Rich Husband

Jan 22, 2019

I love waking up to a new cover from Harlequin! This one is for Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband, which comes out in June.

When my editor asked me last year if I’d like to write a book featuring an Ultra (ultra ultra) Rich hero, I said, “Of Course!” But my heroes are usually pretty stinking rich so I had to do some research to take it to the next level.

As it happens, a little movie called Crazy Rich Asians was debuting and I saw the book at my local drugstore. If you haven’t read it, I won’t spoil it, but I will say that it’s chock full of fun footnotes about culture and translations and other tasty tidbits which make it a great read.

As for the movie, I loved it, especially all the visually stunning, glorious, Presents-type settings and clothing. The wedding with the water? Such an inspiration.

So, when my American hero Gabriel walked onto the page, I wasn’t surprised he had a grandmother in Singapore. He inherits her fortune which includes Luli, a penniless computer nerd who also happens to be a former beauty contestant. (If you want to read more about how I crafted Luli’s character, read my author notes.)

Look for Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband in all the usual places starting in May.

Here’s the blurb:

The only woman to challenge him…

…is the only woman he’ll marry!

Multibillionaire Gabriel Dean is so outrageously wealthy that when computer genius Luli Cruz uses her skills to hold his inheritance to ransom, her audacity simply amuses him! Innocent Luli needs Gabriel’s help to avoid destitution. Gabriel’s solution? He’ll secure both their futures by marrying her! But sweeping wide-eyed Luli into his luxurious world, Gabriel discovers the chemistry with his untouched wife is priceless…

Welcome to the exclusive world of the ultra-rich…

Pre-Order Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband here.

Happy New Year!

Jan 1, 2019


I hope you had a safe and joyful holiday season. Welcome to 2019.

I was offline for most of December while family was in town from faraway lands. They’re sticking around another week or so, but I’ve already started my next Harlequin Presents. It opens at a masquerade ball. Shhh! That’s all I’m telling.

While I was looking at images of masks, I was inspired to dress my Pleasures in Disguise duet in new clothes.

Look for the fresh covers (and reduced pricing!) on both Mastering Her Role and Playing The Master. What do you think?

Manga Madness!

Dec 8, 2018

Did you know I have a dedicated Manga page? And new Harlequin Comics coming out this month? I adore them! They’re so dramatic and gorgeous!

The first is Proof of Their Sin on Dec 8th.

She knows she shouldn’t love him, but her attraction to her late husband’s best friend can’t be ignored.

Lauren is pregnant…and the father of her child is her deceased husband’s best friend, Paolo! Three months ago, her husband went missing in battle and Lauren had only Paolo to depend on. When the Italian banker told her the tragic news, they turned to each other for comfort and wound up in the bedroom. The small life within her is a ray of hope for Lauren, but when she goes to Paolo to announce the joyous news, he is cold-hearted and dismissive: “Pregnant? Congratulations. Who is the father?”

Then Seduced into The Greek’s World will be available Dec 11th.

Together with my boss in the City of Light—what could go wrong?

Natalie is a single mother whose everyday life is filled with work and caring for her little girl, leaving no time for romance. When her work takes her to Paris, she is invited to a dinner with her boss, millionaire Demitri Makricosta. Her heart flutters at his passionate gaze but she tells herself she’s there to work. Still, when she has dinner with him, she struggles to resist his charm and soon finds herself in his bed. It was supposed to be just a one-night fantasy. But maybe the future holds more…

Special Discount – Consequence Of His Revenge

Dec 4, 2018

Exciting news! Amazon.com is discounting Consequence of His Revenge to $1.99 for today only.

Um. Yeah. They’re in the hot tub and she is massively pregnant. Still a fun story and still a fun discount!

In debt to the billionaire…

Infamous Sicilian Dante Gallo takes great delight in firing Cami Fagan as punishment for her father’s theft. What he doesn’t expect is to desire her so intensely he can’t resist seducing her, and Dante soon discovers how deliciously innocent Cami really is!

And bound forever by his vengeance!

But what started as revenge could bind them forever when their inconvenient passion has long-lasting consequences…
