Who doesn’t love a New Year’s baby?

Jan 1, 2024

Have I got a New Year’s Baby for you!

Molly is half in love with her boss, Gio, when she offers to help her friend who longs for a baby. The catch? Her surrogate pregnancy has to be kept secret, even from Gio. When Gio’s grandfather winds up in hospital and his last wish is that Gio marry, guess who Gio turns to?

Molly agrees to pretend they’re engaged, but what happens when Gio’s grandfather recovers and expects them to actually marry?

Here’s the official blurb:

The Italian boss’s proposal…the secretary’s secret!

Faced with a hostile takeover, tycoon Gio must strengthen his claim on the Casella family company with a fake engagement. He’ll never commit to a real one again. Despite his forbidden attraction, his dedicated PA Molly is ideal to play his adoring fiancée. The only problem? Molly is pregnant!

Secretly carrying a surrogate baby, Molly can’t reveal the truth of her pregnancy. But knowing Gio’s protecting his legacy, she agrees to the ruse temporarily. Until pretend passion becomes red-hot reality! Will innocent Molly walk away from Gio unscathed or forever burned by his irresistible touch?

The Baby His Secretary Carries is the first half of my Bound by a Surrogate Baby duet.

It’s available today on Harlequin.com and Mills & Boon UK.

You can find it on shelves and on all digital platforms by Jan 23.

Cover Reveal! Her Billion-dollar Bump

Dec 14, 2023

What do you think of Harlequin’s glamorous new look? Isn’t it stunning?

I can’t wait for Her Billion-dollar Bump to come out! Which is June. (Sorry!)

But it’s got a heroine who’s been through it. She takes one tiny risk to get a step up and her whole life changes. Also, she reads tarot cards and talks to the ghost of her grandmother.

Saint Montgomery is no saint, but he doesn’t know what to do with Fliss. Especially when she turns up pregnant and insists he make a statement that the baby is not his.

Here’s the official blurb:

Cinderella’s confession:

“I’m pregnant.”

Housemaid Fliss gave up her fashion dreams to care for her late grandmother. So finding a discarded invitation to the year’s most exclusive event feels like her last chance to get her designs noticed. She just never imagined that attention would come from notorious Saint Montgomery…

Knowing she doesn’t belong in the billionaire’s world, innocent Fliss can’t resist one night of Saint’s expert seduction. Except when his “thank you” diamonds land her in the headlines, she’s drawn back into his powerful presence. Because she has news of her own—and the bump to prove it!

My holiday short is ready to be read

Dec 13, 2023

I’m so excited that my free read, ‘Tis the Season for Seduction, is now available at Harlequin.com and on the Mills & Boon UK 12 days of Romance page.

This is your classic one-night hook-up that turns into “Oh no, he’s my new boss” horror.

The story is so short, however, we have to fast-forward to where Natasha is quitting because she can’t face starting the new year still pining for Silvio.

Silvio is on his way to a family Christmas in Italy, but once Natasha says goodbye, they have one last chance to possibly make it work. Then he leaves her anyway. (Feel free to hate him.)

Read ‘Tis the Season for Seduction online here or download the Holiday Kisses Collection here.

still searching for the holiday spirit?

Dec 8, 2023

Are you in the mood for a holiday-themed romance, but feel overwhelmed by choice? I’m here to narrow it down for you:

Do you want a sweet, low-drama, no naughtiness reunion romance where the hero broke the heroine’s heart but never forgot her? And is actually still very much in love with her?

Try Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet.

Would you prefer something that dips into a small-town series? Because there are two Christmas romances set in Marietta:

Blame the Mistletoe sees Liz spending Christmas alone, dog-sitting her ex-mother-in-law’s pup. She’s feeling lonely and sorry for herself when she bumps into Blake, who she knows through her ex’s family. He’s also a single-parent, his son is also away, so they get into shenanigans that turn *very* naughty and complicated once the kids come home.

This has one of my favorite ‘busted’ scenes ever.

If you want all the Christmas feels, pick up His Christmas Miracle.

Niki signs on as nanny for Quincy, who just learned he has a four-year-old son. He’s trying to bond with his boy so Niki helps him by making an Advent calendar of daily activities. Slowly, Quincy opens his heart and lets in not just his son, but Niki, too. There’s a side romance with his father and an old-flame that is the angel on the tree.

This one has all the Christmas trimmings and will definitely tug on your heartstrings, then make them sing.

If you have a taste for high-drama and betrayal and loads of sexual tension, you’ll want to check out Claiming His Christmas Wife.

Imogen is one of my favorite heroines ever. She’s feisty even when she is literally on death’s doorstep, collapsing in the snow. Travis will make you angry before you fall in love with him, but then you’ll root for these two.

I won’t spoil the bit about Imogen’s sister, but it’s pretty fun, too.

Then, guess what? It’s Happy New Year!

I freaking love One Snowbound New Year’s Night. It was challenging to write, keeping the bulk of the story happening in twenty-four hours, but the absolute longing between these two was so fun to write.

They’re spending the last night of their marriage–the eve of their divorce–figuring out what went wrong between them so prepare for some heartbreak, but some heart-mending and, yes, some make-up loving, too.

That’s a lot under the tree, isn’t it? Happy reading!

Playboy champion snowboarder, Trigg, is flabbergasted to learn he’s a father of a twelve-year-old girl. Wren has had it up to here with her niece and Sky is going through it as she enters her teen years, but they’re all crying out for love and they somehow pull it all together to become a family (complete with a silly dog!)

The family he didn’t know he needed…

At her wit’s end with her twelve-year-old niece, Wren Snow takes the manager’s job at Blue Spruce Lodge so Sky can get to know her father, Trigg Johanssen—a tycoon snowboarder with a playboy reputation.

Gold-medalist Trigg Johanssen is furious she kept Sky a secret, but quits competition to focus on his newly discovered daughter only to have his chemistry with Wren complicate their attempts to co-parent.

When outside forces threaten the ski resort he’s rebuilding, a marriage of convenience seems like the answer. It would give his daughter the life she deserves, but is it too much for a heartbroken woman still nursing past hurts?

Beauty and Her One-Night Baby for $2.99

Sep 1, 2023

Great news! Beauty and Her One-Night Baby is a Kindle Monthly Deal! Through September, you can pick it up on Kindle for $2.99.

Please check prices before you buy. I don’t know if this price drop is international or just the U.S. or whether other platforms will price match.

Either way, I hope you’ll check out this delightful Beauty and the Beast retelling along with its sister (brother?) book featuring Javiero’s brother, Val, in A Hidden Heir to Redeem Him, where illegitimate Val discovers sensitive artist Kiara kept his daughter a secret for nearly three years!

From irresistible beast in the bedroom…

to father of her child!

The first time Javiero Rodriguez sees CEO Scarlett Walker after their impassioned night together, she’s in labor with his baby! No matter how shocking the surprise, Javiero won’t let his son grow up in a broken home like he did.

Scarlett has worked hard for independence and she can’t accept empty vows. Yet the scars Javiero gained in a jaguar attack haven’t lessened the tycoon’s rugged appeal. Which means every day is a heated reminder of the pleasure they shared…and could share again!
