Cover Reveal – Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal

Nov 23, 2018

Today I’m thankful for the cover I received for Innocent’s Nine-Month Scandal. I’m in love with it! Rozi goes to Budapest to find her grandmother’s heirloom earring and tangles with Viktor, the man who thinks the earring was stolen from his family.

This one comes out next April as part of a duet that I’ve been calling the duet Barsi on Fifth, after the family jewelry store where the heroines, who are cousins, design jewelry.

Here’s the official blurb:

“If you’re pregnant…

…you’ll marry me.”

Control is everything to billionaire Viktor Rohan. Then Rozalia Toth appears on his mansion’s doorstep, looking for a family heirloom, and throws his world into chaos! Her sweetness intrigues him beyond measure…and as their inescapable chemistry explodes, Viktor realizes Rozi’s innocence isn’t an act! But their passion has consequences, and Viktor refuses to let scandal ruin his family again. Their baby will be legitimate! And Rozi? She will be his…

 

Be sure to check out Book One, A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire. Gisella tries to buy one of the earrings from Kaine only to learn he has a grudge to settle with her family–and expects her to compensate him.

 

Claiming His Christmas Wife – On Shelves Today!

Nov 20, 2018

Yay! Claiming His Christmas Wife hits shelves today. Look for it while you’re out Christmas shopping or picking up Black Friday deals. You deserve a treat!

Imogen is one of my favourite heroines. She’s a walking disaster, has been through so much, but she’s plucky and quirky and I adore her for taking a man like Travis and throwing him so far off his game. Which is his worst nightmare, but he realizes he must accept her unpredictable nature because he loves her deeply and irrevocably. I’m still laughing about the epilogue, too. I hope you love it!

Here’s what they’re saying on Goodreads:

“It’s an extremely intense, emotion packed love story that’s very well written.” ~ Ivy H.

“I HAD to read this book because it intrigued me. I just wasn’t expecting to read the book and find tears running down my face.” ~ Kim Reads

This one releases digitally on Dec 1. You’ll find all the links here.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet Releases Today!

Nov 8, 2018

Hurray, Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is finally here and it’s as sweet and pure as maple syrup taffy.

If you’re looking for a Christmas romance light on angst and tall on holiday cheer, this one is for you. Finn and Kristen broke up when they went off to different colleges. They haven’t spoken much since, but he learns she’s alone for the holidays and drops in on her at her new job.

Kristen is the furthest thing from lonely. She’s been recruited by her new boss’s daughter, Sarah, to help plan a vow renewal for her parents. Finn is quickly drawn into the lighthearted intrigue and holiday spirit. There’s singing and games and a ridiculous story about a moose. Love is all around and yes, there’s even maple syrup taffy:

“Ta-da!” Sarah held up a Popsicle stick with a knot of taffy tangled on one end.

“How did you do that?” Kristen rose to watch and Finn came to stand beside her.

Sarah had poured the warmed syrup in stripes across the shallow pan of snow. Handing Kristen the first stick, she took a second and dabbed it on the end of a stripe of syrup. When it began to stick, she carefully rolled until it was a second golden ball of caramel. She gave it to Finn.

Here’s what they’re saying on Netgalley:

“This is the first book I have read by this author… and I would highly recommend it. … The love of a daughter planning a surprise wedding for her dad and step mom. The rekindling of an old romance. The true meaning of the holidays. The help of strangers. There are so many things going on in this book you really can’t wait to see how it ends.” ~ 5 stars, Sheila P.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is available now on all platforms. The quick links are here:

Blame The Mistletoe – Free!

Nov 6, 2018

Exciting news! Blame the Mistletoe is free for a limited time!

This was my first Christmas themed romance. It’s sexy and funny and a tiny bit scandalous. Liz winds up babysitting her ex-mother-in-law’s dog while her ex’s family takes her daughter to Mexico for a wedding. Liz doesn’t know anyone in Marietta–until she bumps into her former brother-in-law at a party.

Blake’s son has gone to Mexico with his ex for a family wedding and he’s on his own. He loves Christmas and happily shows Liz why Marietta is the best place to spend the holidays. But a kiss beneath the mistletoe turns into something more serious. Something they don’t know how to explain when their kids unexpectedly return.

I had so much fun writing Blame the Mistletoe. I hope you enjoy it!

Fun fact: Blame the Mistletoe is Book Two in my Love in Montana series.

Christmas Comes Early!

Nov 1, 2018

Lots of Christmas news is coming your way over the next few weeks starting today.

Claiming His Christmas Wife comes out December 1st, but if you want Christmas to come early, it releases on Harlequin and Mills & Boon UK today.

Imogen is one of my favourite heroines. She had a horrible father and a very sad childhood. Her marriage to Travis didn’t work out, but she soldiered on and now she has collapsed in the street.

Travis is notified as her next of kin and fears the worst. Here’s his initial reaction:

Whatever old anger had sent him soaring at the mention of his ex-wife exploded in a percussive flash. He was blind. Falling. Wind whistling in his ears. Air moving too fast for him to catch a gulp.

“What happened?” he managed to grit out. He was dimly aware his eyes were closed, but she was right there in front of him. Laughing, green eyes glimmering with mischief, hair a halo of flames licking at her snowy complexion. Swerving her lashes to cut him a glance. So enchantingly beautiful. Gaze clouding with arousal. Sparking with anger. Looking so wounded and vulnerable that last time he’d seen her, his heart still dipped thinking of it.

He’d quickly learned it was a lie, but that didn’t make any of this easier to accept.

Gone? He couldn’t make it fit in his head. He had told her he never wanted to see her again, but discovered he had secretly believed he would.

From far away, he heard the woman say, “She collapsed on the street. She’s feverish and unconscious. Do you know of any medication we should be aware of? She’s awaiting treatment, but—”

“She’s not dead?” He heard how that sounded as it came out, as if that was what he would have preferred, but leave it to Imogen to set him up to believe one thing, contort his emotions to unbearable degrees, then send him flying in another direction. That calculating, betraying, manipulative— If he could get his hands on her, he’d kill her himself.

Imogen drives Travis crazy, but he’s chronically inflexible, so the way she shakes him up is good for him. I hope you adore them as much as I do.

Claiming His Christmas Wife will be on shelves mid-November and will release on all digital platforms December 1st, but if you want to read it early, you can get it today from:

Cover Reveal – A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire

Oct 29, 2018

This doesn’t usually happen, but I’ve received both my North American and UK covers for A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire on the same day.

I can’t decide which one I prefer. The models are perfect in both. I adore everything in the NA cover from the way Gisella’s pink dress matches my website to the backdrop of San Francisco, but the UK one does such a nice job of capturing the mood between these two with the cool colors and smoky/tender gaze.

 

Which one do you like?

A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire doesn’t come out until next spring, but now I’m so impatient for it to arrive! It’s the first in my Barsi on Fifth earring duet.

Here’s the blurb:

 

He’ll make her pay…

Until he learns of her innocence!

Self-made billionaire Kaine Michaels has just given Gisella Drummond, daughter of one of New York’s most influential dynasties, a shocking ultimatum: use her spotless reputation to save his own or he’ll ruin her family for betraying him! Kaine knows Gisella wants him, and he knows how much pleasure he can give her! But uncovering sweet Gisella’s virginity makes Kaine want her for so much more than revenge…


If you want to pre-order, quick links are here


Watch for Book Two, Innocent’s Nine Month Scandal featuring Gisella’s cousin Rozalia and Viktor. When Rozi travels to Budapest to ask Viktor for the second earring, she winds up seduced, pregnant, and…married?
