Four Weddings and a Baby Sneak Peek!

Oct 8, 2022

Exciting news! I have a Sneak Peek into my Four Weddings and a Baby quartet for you!

You are cordially invited to… the scandal of the wedding season!

In a shocking turn of events, the marriage of billionaire Hunter Waverly, aka the groom, was halted today when it was revealed he has a secret baby with a local waitress! Their one night clearly wasn’t enough…but will this be a real-life Cinderella story?

The drama doesn’t stop there. Our sources say humiliated bride, Eden, decided to take matters–or should we say, the diamond ring–into her own hands and eloped with best man, Remy Sylvain! Those two have had a special connection since that night in Paris…

Meanwhile, maid of honour Quinn is rumoured to have been whisked away by Eden’s brother Micah. And the groom’s sister Vienna? Let’s just say, she has the biggest secret of all…

It’s never a dull moment at a billion-dollar society wedding!

This Sneak Peek includes the first two chapters from each book:

Book 1: Cinderella’s Secret Baby (available now!)
Book 2: Wedding Night with the Wrong Billionaire (Nov 29)
Book 3: A Convenient Ring to Claim Her (Feb 28, 2023)
Book 4: A Baby to Make Her His Bride (Apr 25, 2023)

 

Whaat?! I’m *star-eyed* at this new cover!

Oct 4, 2022

Would you get a load of this stunning cover for A Convenient Ring to Claim Her?

I’m so extra-happy that this is so pretty because I love, love, love Quinn and Micah. They are my favorite trope of two people who absolutely are not in love with each other, but #SpoilerAlert, totally are. Humble apologies that you have to wait until Feb of next year for this one, but 2022 has flown by. We’re almost there.

If you’re dying for a sneak peek, read the first two chapters here.

Will the billionaire finally say “I do”?

Find out in this intense marriage of convenience from USA TODAY bestselling author Dani Collins.

The proposal…
…she vowed never to accept!

Life has taught orphan Quinn Harper to trust only herself. So, whilst her secret fling with billionaire Micah Gould was her first taste of passion, it wasn’t supposed to last forever. Although it gets harder and harder to pull herself away from his bed…

The abominable actions of Micah’s father have left a permanent mark. Love isn’t in his future. Then his relationship with Quinn is suddenly exposed and, in Berlin, a new possibility presents itself. Quinn could be the convenient bride Micah needs…but can he be what she deserves?

Hooray! Cinderella’s Secret Baby is here!

Sep 27, 2022

Cinderella’s Secret Baby, Book One in my new quartet, Four Weddings and a Baby, officially launches on all platforms today! Hooray!

When I pitched this to my editor, I said, “What about four couples who all attend the same society wedding that goes horribly wrong when the groom discovers–at the altar–that he has a baby with someone else?”

Full disclosure, one of the characters isn’t actually at the wedding. You’ll have to wait to find out which one that is. #suspense

But in this very dramatic opening, Amelia can’t figure out why her father is so set on going to this winery all of a sudden. Then she realizes they are crashing a wedding. Then she realizes whose wedding. Then the wedding crashes and burns and I’m not even going to tell you what else she goes through before Hunter takes her away from all of that!

Here’s the official blurb:

The confession that stopped his billion-dollar wedding!

The scandal of the century…

She’s had the billionaire’s love child! Innocent waitress Amelia Lindor’s encounter with Hunter Waverly was unforgettable. Their chemistry? Off the charts! Their connection? Soul shattering! And, for Amelia, the consequences were life-changing…

Amelia had braced herself to tell Hunter she was pregnant, only to learn he was engaged. Unwilling to endure more heartache, she vowed to raise their daughter alone. Then the news gets out! In a shock turn of events, Hunter’s wholly convenient marriage is halted at the altar as all his attention turns to Amelia…and her secret!

Shhh! Cinderella’s Secret Baby is up early!

Sep 1, 2022

I was trying to be clever with my headline, but all my Harlequin Presents/M&B Moderns, including Cinderella’s Secret Baby are always available early if you buy from Harlequin.com and Mills & Boon UK.

I can’t believe my Four Weddings and a Baby series is stepping out into the wild already. I only turned in Book Four a couple of weeks ago, but here’s Book One in your hot little hands.

I had so much fun with this series. I love a good saga of characters who all intertwine. (Full disclosure, while I’m writing it, I’m screaming at myself Never Again.) But I love a bunch of stories that let me visit other characters so I can be sure they’re all living HEA.

In this series, the kick-off is Hunter’s wedding to Eden–except it’s interrupted by the revelation he has a baby with Amelia. Hunter leaves with Amelia and, in the next book, Eden runs off with the best man, Remy. By Book Three, maid-of-honor Quinn is having an affair with Eden’s brother. Book Four circles all the way back to Hunter and Amelia when Hunter’s sister, Vienna brings down a fresh scandal upon Amelia’s brother, Jasper.

All of these books can be read as stand-alone or in any order, but if you’re looking for your next series to snuggle up with, I hope you’ll give this a try.

Innocent in Her Enemy’s Bed – Out Now!

Jul 26, 2022

Innocent in Her Enemy’s Bed is a good ol’ fashioned enemy’s to lovers with a greek hero and a virgin heroine, an evil stepmother, terrible betrayals, and a ruined wedding. It’s also got heat and heart and some silly banter. Eg:

He removed his jacket to reveal the stain of red wine on his chest.
“Did you lose a duel?”
“One of our guests had too much to drink.” He began unbuttoning his shirt, gaze on the cuffs he was releasing. “If I were in a duel, I wouldn’t lose.”
“Says the man defeated by a glass of wine.”
“Touché.”
“Oof. I see what you did there. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
“Yet I rarely am,” he said in a blithe tone while stepping into the closet.

Here’s the back cover copy:

Keeping her enemy close…means getting far closer than she thought!

Ilona Callas is aware that Leander Vasilou will do anything for revenge against her stepfamily. She just never pictured herself becoming the formidable Greek businessman’s ally!

Since clawing his way to the top after being betrayed, Leander exists alone. Ilona should be his ticket to vengeance…until an explosive moment of intimacy changes everything. So begins a sensual back-and-forth that will lead to one place: their marriage bed!

Add Three Little Words to your Podcast Playlist

Jun 22, 2022

A new podcast premiered this month called Three Little Words and their very first episode features my book, A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire.

The hosts are Claudia and Nicole. I found them on Twitter. I can’t find a website, but you can access the podcast through this link tree site. (Or click on the image below.)

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I plugged in my AirPods and did my stretches. Then I drove to the dentist, and to my Dad’s, and the grocery store. I came home and cleaned the kitchen and they were still talking about my book.

Nicole and Claudia are thorough, engaging, insightful and have a lovely rapport. It was like visiting with friends who came from a very caring place as they staged an intervention over how often my characters’ scalps tingle. #SpoilerAlert: Too often.

I am not offended. That is a well-deserved burn and there were others. (My stories are always convoluted. Readers need a family tree for my cast of thousands. These are personal failings I cannot seem to fix. The first writing advice I ever got was Keep It Simple, Stupid, but I gravitate to a mnemonic that spells out Goat Rodeo. Look at me, right here, digressing.)

They also said some very nice things and I’m super flattered they took so much time to deconstruct my book and came away liking it. I will shamelessly plug the follow up, Innocent’s Nine Month Scandal, and the free read on Harlequin.com called Innocent’s Pregnancy Revelation. (Find out what happened to cousin Benny!)

I do feel compelled to defend Harlequin, though. There is a longstanding perception among people who don’t read Harlequin that their books are not well-written. Harlequin is actually very choosy. It took me twenty-five years to crack into their ranks. Their books might be short and priced affordably, but you will always get a quality read.

Having said that, Harlequin does hit the keywords pretty hard in titles and book blurbs. That is the blood-battle of visibility in a crowded digital market. As Nicole guessed, I did not title this book. Fun fact, it was initially given a title with the word ‘revenge’ in it. They changed it at the last minute because they keep their finger on the pulse of reader trends. Redemption was deemed more appealing than revenge.

I’ll end with a huge thank you to Claudia and Nicole at Three Little Words for taking a chance on A Virgin to Redeem the Billionaire. I lol’d when you said “Dani Collins will never listen to this.” I am absolutely narcissistic enough to listen to every single minute and tell everyone I know to do the same. 😉
