How Do You Like Your Billionaires?
In the romance genre, there are probably a billion different types of billionaires: alpha, protective, cowboy, etc. In Kiss Me Crazy, the first book in my Billionaire Brothers Duet, Finn Henessey is a "cinnamon roll" billionaire. He's nice, romantic, caring, a family man and very protective of those he loves. He's also a bit bookish, which was unplanned and just kind of happened while writing the book. This bookish element made Finn even more swoony.
Who is the apple of this lovestruck billionaire's eye? Evie, a local teacher, who is busy with life and not looking for love. Evie might not be interested in dating, but she's definitely interested in Finn (and fights it every step of the way).
This small-town, slow-burn romance is filled with friends, family, a spicy-book-reading book club, dashes of humor, and holiday vibes. Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and other retailers.

Love Me Crazy, Billionaire Brothers Duet, Book 2
Coming in late 2025!
A billionaire clinging to his single status after his brothers find love. A single mom with no time for a relationship. Will a casual friendship with benefits be enough to satisfy Liam and Delilah or will love surprise them when they least expect it?
Liam is the last single Henessey, and he intends to stay that way. He loves his family, and despite their efforts to lead him down a flower-strewn aisle, he refuses to marry. After raising his brothers, he’s not interested in raising another family. If there is a woman out there meant for him, the universe can keep her. He’d be crazy to give up his freedom.
Delilah’s days are filled with business and more work than hours in the day. Her evenings are spent with her kids before she falls into bed exhausted. A recent widow, she’s not interested in dating despite encouragement from friends. A chance meeting with the town’s most eligible, and elusive, bachelor ignites an unlikely friendship that tempts her out of her comfort zone. She may have fallen into his arms, but she’d be crazy to fall for him.

Kiss Me Crazy is Now Available!
Billionaire seeks true love in this small town, slow burn romance
Finn is looking for love. Known as the charming youngest brother and dubbed a hot “cinnamon roll” by a local romance book club, he wants a woman who wants him—not his money. Women eye him wherever he goes—probably sizing up his wallet—but he only has eyes for a local teacher who keeps him firmly in the friend zone. Good thing he has a plan to change her mind.
Evie, a teacher known as the least likely to date anyone, is not looking for love or romance. Life is busy, and besides, she can find romance, love, and happy endings on the pages of a book without the hassle of dating. Good thing she has a plan to stay single—until one kiss changes everything.

A Guide to Whiskey Valley Romance Books
Enjoy small-town romances? Visit the Valley for humorous and steamy romances filled with family, friends, warmth, and heart. Each book can be read as a standalone or read in series order for the full Whiskey Valley experience.
Whiskey Valley is a small river town/city located in Indiana along the Ohio River. With a rich history in whiskey production and river commerce, the modern Whiskey Valley is a mecca for tourism and has even been featured in Places to See Magazine. Tourists flock to Whiskey Valley for the riverboat casinos, whiskey distilleries, wineries, unique shops, food, and festivals—the oh so many festivals! There are tours of historic venues and ghost tours as well. (Some locals believe Whiskey Valley to be one of the most haunted places in the region; other locals are extremely skeptical.) Some visitors to the valley may forgo the touristy attractions and instead head for the man-made ski slopes, go boating or kayaking on the river, or picnic in one of the many parks.
Whiskey Valley, a quaint and rather unique place, is the location of several romances. This romantic series begins with a “taste” of the valley, an instant love romance, and a cast of quirky characters guaranteed to make you smile and maybe cringe. The series continues for characters introduced in the first book, each book filled with romance, humor, and additional local characters.
A Taste of Whiskey Valley (Book 1, Jess & Tucker): A celebrity chef falls head over grill for a local bookstore owner.
Maybe Next Time (Book 2, Lucy & Jake): A newspaper reporter and sheriff disagree on just about everything—except their attraction to each other.
Maybe Someday (Book 3, Emma & Jackson): A romance rookie steps out of his comfort zone to woo the woman who holds his heart.
Maybe This Time (Book 4, Brooke & Wyatt): A woman determined to start over. A man determined to win back her love.

New Cover! Maybe Next Time Turns Four!
Four years ago this month, I published
Maybe Next Time
, the second book in my Whiskey Valley Romance series. This book - oh my, this book - ignited that spark between Lucy and Jake as foreshadowed in
A Taste of Whiskey Valley
, where they were secondary characters.
Maybe Next Time
also introduced some of my favorite Whiskey Valley characters that continue to appear throughout the series. I liked the characters in
Maybe Next Time
so much that I created a spin-off series for them!
