Cover Love! Check out my UK cover for One Snowbound New Year’s Night

Oct 2, 2021

I didn’t think I could be happier than I was with the North American cover for One Snowbound New Year’s Night, but check out how sweet and sexy and emotional the Mills & Boon Modern cover is!

I can’t wait for this one to release (appropriately) a few days before New Year’s Eve (Dec 28th.) Spoiler alert: Expect fireworks!

Their last night as husband and wife, or the beginning of something new?

Their New Year’s Eve reunion…
…could make or break their marriage!

Rebecca Matthews has one New Year’s resolution: divorce Donovan Scott. So being snowbound with him at his mountain mansion is not part of the plan. Especially when it’s clear the sizzling chemistry that led to their elopement is still very much alive!

Van wants to know the real reason Becca left—it’s clear there’s more to tell. With only twenty-four hours before the snowstorm clears, it’s time for them to gain some much-needed closure. That’s if, of course, they can resist a final explosive encounter…

Start 2022 with this passionate forced-proximity romance!

Sorry not sorry – Super Sexy Cover Reveal

Aug 27, 2021

I just saw the cover for One Snowbound New Year’s Night and I will apologize now for the fact that your eyes are going to fall straight out of your head, it’s so sweet and sexy.

Donovan “Van” Scott is my Canadian hero who falls for Aussie Rebecca Matthews. They have a whirlwind marriage, but things go off the rails while he’s away competing in Alpine Skiing at the Olympics. They’ve accidentally-on-purpose met at their dream home in Whistler four years later and they have one night before their divorce is final.

If you’ve ever watched a movie or read a book where you were going nuts because you wanted the couple to just sit down and talk things out, well, this is your dream come true! They are snowbound and can’t get away from all those awkward conversations they side-stepped in the past. It all comes out and it all comes down to being vulnerable. I hope you love it! (When it comes out in January. Sorry!)

Here’s the back cover copy:

My 45th Harlequin! How did that happen?

Aug 1, 2021

My 45th book with Harlequin published on their site today!

I’m kind of astonished. Back when I was dreaming of writing for Harlequin, all I wanted was to publish one book with them. I didn’t project to ever having so many titles and it’s kind of surreal.

It’s all thanks to you, dedicated reader and fan of romance, for buying my books and writing your encouraging notes to me.

I tend to get lost in the daily struggle for word count. (I’m currently wrestling book #47 and it has me pinned. I’m pretty sure it’s the one that will end my career, which is how I feel about nearly all of them at the 30K mark.)

But when I have a moment to come up for air and realize where I am at, and can celebrate with you, I’m ever so grateful for this wonderful career you’ve helped me achieve! Thank you!

Now, I should probably tell you a little about this actual book. It’s the second in my Secret Sisters duet, about a pair of identical twins separated at birth who discover their biological mother was actually a Bollywood superstar.

Here’s the blurb for Manhattan’s Most Scandalous Reunion:

He can’t turn her away, and it has nothing to do with the media storm outside his penthouse!

She left him.

That doesn’t mean she’s forgotten him.

When paparazzi mistake Nina Menendez for a supermodel, she takes refuge in her ex’s New York penthouse. Big mistake. Guarded Reve Weston is incapable of emotional intimacy—and is intensely seductive…

Reve has had enough of scandal. To keep his name out of the tabloids, he insists Nina stay with him. But as their spark reignites and she shares the mysteries of her past, Reve realizes his cynicism has a downside. If he can’t give Nina the fairy tale she dreams of, he’ll have to let her go…for good!

Manhattan’s Most Scandalous Reunion is available on Harlequin and Mills & Boon UK today.

Be sure to look for Book One in this duet, Married for One Reason Only, on shelves and available at your favourite online retailer now.

Convenient vows…

…for their baby’s sake!

His brief was simple: confirm whether model Oriel Cuvier is the secret daughter of a Bollywood legend. But when billionaire security specialist Vijay Sahir locks eyes with Oriel, all thoughts of work disappear—leading to a few stolen hours where all rules are broken…

Weeks later, Oriel gets two life-changing surprises. First, the truth about her birth mother. Second, she’s pregnant with Vijay’s child! He demands marriage, but can she really promise to honor and cherish him when, until now, all they’ve shared is one extraordinary encounter?

KU Readers – One more title for your TBR

Jul 1, 2021

Fun News for Kindle Unlimited readers – Innocent in the Sheikh’s Palace will be on Kindle Unlimited/Prime from July 1-Sept 30.

This reader favorite started out as an Ugly Duckling retelling (but Hannah is more of an odd duck, trying to find her place.) She decides to have a baby on her own, but wouldn’t you know the clinic mixes up the sperm and she winds up carrying the next King of Baaqi. His uncle, Akin, insists they marry and whisks her away to a new life–where she turns his life upside down.

I hope you’ll check it out and, while you’re at it, dip into Hustled to the Altar and The Healer, both also exclusively on KU until September.

Happy Reading!

More Manga! Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband

Jun 27, 2021

I’m always so thrilled when a new manga shows up. This one is a fun rendition of Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband and it’s gorgeous!

This marriage-of-convenience sweeps wide-eyed Luli into Gabriel’s over-the-top world. I love that despite her tremendously sheltered upbringing, she is a computer genius who rivals Gabriel’s skills and they really are perfect for one another, once they wade through the disasters of their personal lives.

Her Impossible Baby Bombshell lands today!

May 25, 2021

In case you missed my email a few days ago, Harlequin has changed their release dates a little. Now the digital and print release dates are the same day–the last Tuesday of the month. Did I mention that important detail in my email the other day? Don’t be ridiculous. That would be too sensible.

Once we’re all used to this new schedule, I think it will be a lot simpler so yay! Most importantly, it means you can have this ebook delivered into your hot little hands a few days sooner than you used to receive it.

Her Impossible Baby Bombshell is your basic sweet, hot, dramatic, heart wrenching, adorable secret baby/marriage of convenience escape to Singapore and Shanghai. I hope you love it!


Here’s what they’re saying on Goodreads:

“An unlikely connection sets the pages on fire!” ~ Lynn, Goodreads
