The Au Pair Affair releases
The Au Pair Affair is available at Samhain, Amazon, B&N, etc.
He left his seamy past…and found a steamy romance.
When Louis Guzman signs on with a Hollywood nanny agency and scores a job offer on his very first interview, he’s thrilled for the chance to start fresh—and hopeful that no one will delve too deeply into his checkered work and romantic past.
Helping an amicably divorced Beverly Hills power couple raise their two adorable children is the perfect situation. Too perfect to let a vibe of attraction to the handsome producer tempt Louis to flirt his way to a pink slip.
Since he came out, Dan Krefman has been too busy with his job to experiment with his newly embraced sexuality. But with undercurrents sizzling like live power cables between him and his kids’ hunky Latino nanny, he’s finding it hard to maintain his distance.
Louis promises Dan—and himself—that just one encounter will get the lust out of both their systems. But it’s only the beginning…and when Louis’s past crawls out of the shadows, dirty secrets threaten to destroy not only his own future, but the family he has come to love.
I got a review at Publishers Weekly which was a thrill:
"Dee's heartwarming tale enchants with a passionate love match, charming family bonding, and sweet characters [...] making a perfect feel-good read with a tearjerker ending."
- Publishers Weekly
What I learned while writing this book (and The Gentleman's Keeper with Summer): I love writing children. Love it. My editor said the kids in The Au Pair Affair were sweet and funny without being saccharine and eye-rolling, so I think that's a pretty good endorsement. You be the judge

Beloved Killer out today!
You want different? I got different. Yes, I've been watching a Sopranos marathon ever since James Gandolfini died, but I started this book way before that.
Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, All Romance Ebooks, Smashwords and more.
Here's the scoop about Beloved Killer:
When love strikes a killer, can a man of violence truly find redemption?
The right-hand man of a notorious mobster, J has no identity outside of his work—until the night he meets Nikki Larson. Sent to intimidate the strong-willed bar owner, he falls for her fast and hard.
Returning home after her father’s death, Nikki is once again forced to clean up his mess. To settle her family debt, a mob boss wants to use her bar in his criminal enterprise and sends an enforcer to back up the proposition. Nikki refuses to show fear to the henchman assigned to monitor her. In fact, she enjoys taunting J, even as she’s strangely attracted to his gloominess.
When a rival gang invades the bar, J rescues Nikki and they go on the run from both the mob and the law. J’s growing love for Nikki demands he choose between the only life he’s ever known and an uncertain future with a challenging woman who might not love him back. Two wildly different people struggle to find common ground, but escaping the past means overcoming danger from all sides.

New Year, a New Life story
Available for the holidays from Amazon, B&N, etc. NEW YEAR tells more about Jason and Anna, the couple in New Life.
Tension and family holidays go together like eggnog and candy canes.
When lawyer Anna brings her boyfriend Jason home for the holidays, it’s a recipe for family drama. Her parents have high expectations for her fast-track future. And those don’t include her hooking up with a kennel worker suffering the results of traumatic brain injury.
With a lousy memory and a shaky past, Jason knows he’s no prize. But what he and Anna have together is priceless. An impulsive proposal on the way to her family’s house seems the best way to prove his feelings for her are forever. Anna’s hesitation to accept stops his heart. And when she seems willing to use him to get back at her manipulative mom, Jason wonders if he’s made the mistake of his life.
Exposed to the light of critical eyes, Jason and Anna’s fairy-tale romance threatens to crumble. The hurdles of their pasts may prove too much for this princess and her pauper. And this new year may ring in bright beginnings – or the end of all their hopes and dreams.

The Virginity Vow
My big project for the new year which I've been working my BALLS off on is finally launching with the first book in the Promise series, THE VIRGINITY VOW. You can get it now at Amazon, B&N, All Romance, etc. Here's the scoop on the entire series and on book one:
The Promise Series
Five friends scattered by time and distance will soon come together to witness the wedding vows of one. But in the meantime, Graci, Tara, Corinne and Adya each make pledges of their own and find unexpected new loves waiting just around the corner. Promises will be made and sometimes broken but sisterhood endures in this series of stories about five forever-friends and the men who love them.
The Virginity Vow, book 1
After an abruptly ended engagement, Graciela Ramirez is dying of a broken heart and she has to attend her friend’s wedding as the only member of her old group who’s still a virgin. She sets out on a quest to do some things she’s never done, including ending her virginity with a random stranger. Graci never expects that Neal, the hot musician she literally runs into one night at a bar, might become a man she could truly care for. But love doesn’t arrive on a schedule, and that annoying virginity may not be as easy to lose as she’d hoped.
THE PROMISE SERIES
Book 1 – The Virginity Vow
Book 2 – The Temporary Promise
Book 3 – The Matchmaking Pact
Book 4 – The New Leaf Pledge
Book 5 – The Wedding Affirmation

A little more about my new series...
Some of my readers may know that I've often said "I don't write series. When I'm finished with a book, I want to move on to a new set of characters and create a new world." Well, I've finally taken the plunge with my Promise series and guess what? I liked green eggs and ham. I do. I like them Sam-I-Am.
My oldest daughter brainstormed the idea for the series. She said it should be sort of a Sex and the City or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants group of old friends who are getting back together after a number of years apart for the wedding of one of them. Along the way, each would have her own romance. I said "Sure. I can do that." My daughter helped with the plotting of Graci's story, the troubles she might encounter during her mission to lose her virginity--which she ultimately realizes is merely part of a desire to change herself.
During Graci's story, the romance for her friend Tara became clear to me so I immediately launched into the next story. And then the next. I'm now almost finished with the fourth book and feel like I've really come to know these women. I've also learned how a series must be carefully fitted like a jigsaw puzzle so all the pieces come together seamlessly.
So, for my daughter's sake and to prove that I made the right decision in starting a series--BUY The Virginity Vow, or at least download a sample and see if it hooks you in. I want this series to be my biggest success yet and you can help. Thanks!
Here are the five titles of the Promise series which will be releasing over the next months:

Seducing Stephen now cheaper!
Summer and I have re-released Seducing Stephen as a self-pub. You can now purchase it for only $2.99. It has a gorgeous new cover. If someone smarter than I would like to collate the new version with the old version here at Goodreads, I might love you. This week I feel like I've spent a lot of time figuring out a lot of little technological challenges and I'm simply not up for this one.
The Matchmaking Pact is Available Now
The third book in my Promise series, The Matchmaking Pact is now available. You can check it out at Amazon, B&N, etc.Corinne Cartwright has an agenda: to snap up the office hottie before someone else does. She and her buddy Seth make a pact to each try to land their current crushes and, failing that, to set each other up with the perfect match. But learning more about her friends’ romantic choices causes Corinne to rethink what she wants from a relationship. Is it possible that the man of her dreams has been right in front of her all this time? Can she find love where she least expected it?
The New Leaf Pledge
Adya's story is available now at Amazon and other sellers. This is book four in my Promise series. I really enjoyed writing they family dynamic in the story.
Adya Parish has drifted through life for too long and vows to take back control, not relying on any man to take care of her. Her pledge to become more self-reliant requires time spent alone—not with the sweet man, his adorable daughter and crazy dog that careen into her life. But with one chance meeting in the park, Adya begins to find the family she has always longed for. It will take real strength of will to refuse to fall for them and continue to stand on her own two feet for the first time in her life.
