 Hi all. I've been busy writing the next book, due in April. Making great progress. The FMC is one of the most complicated I've ever tackled, and I'm enjoying creating her personality and conflict. Of course this book will have a happy ending, because it's a romance and the characters deserve their happy ending!

I started writing romance novels more than 2 decades ago for the happy endings. Unlike some fiction, which can be quite grim, romance novels assure the reader of a happy ending or a HFN. Real life doesn't always have a happy ending, so romance novels gave me an escape.

I enjoy creating conflict for characters and having them iron out solutions through their own personal growth and character arc. Writing suspense books - romantic suspense - where you have to incorporate the mystery AND the character conflict and relationships and romance - is a challenge.
The challenge is one I enjoy and now that I am no longer working a day job, I have more time and energy to devote to books.
In the meantime, DESPERATE JUSTICE, my next HQ romantic suspense, is up for pre-order on Amazon and other vendors. It's out this October. This is Rafe's book and you met Rafe in Escape from Devil's Den.
Happy reading!

 Now available for pre-order! This anthology includes a NEW story - THE WEREWOLF UNDER HER BED. 

If you've ever dreamed of revenge on a nasty neighbor, this fun story is for you! 

 

My latest Harlequin romantic suspense book is out July 23! Escape from Devil's Den was a fun book to write and I adore these characters. 

 

I think he looks sexy. I love this cover. It has a sea turtle theme and is about a sea turtle biologist threatened by a dangerous stalker and the dedicated bodyguard determined to protect her.

To find her attacker…he must stay in the shadows.

Assigned to protect sea turtle biologist Peyton Bradley from a dangerous stalker, former SEAL Gray Wallace is determined to save his headstrong charg­e—even if she doesn’t want to be saved. Their attraction is powerful. But damning rumors around the handsome bodyguard’s past get him fired. Only when Peyton is kidnapped and loses her memory does Gray reveal his startling—possibly deadly—secret.

Cursed by the powerful Shadow Wizard, Sebastian knew his only path to redemption was sweet Jessica’s proclamation of love.

Now the 300 years are over, and Sebastian walks as a human once more. His broken heart demands revenge upon the fair Jessica, who has been asleep since she banished him to the watery depths.

Jessica has no memories of her past, only faint ones of a mysterious stranger awakening her after a long slumber. When she finds a handsome, naked man washed up on shore, his sexy smile and rugged charm awaken a long-forgotten passion. He reminds her of the man she dreams of each night, a dangerous, seductive pirate intent on ravishing her body, and soul.

Sebastian must coax a declaration of love from Jessica or he will turn forever into a scaled monster feared by all. He desires only that Jessica pay her debt for her betrayal on her back, until his sexual appetite is sated. But seduction is a double-edged sword and in doing so, will he once more risk losing his heart?
