Book 4 in the WILD HEARTS ROMANCE series is now available. TRUSTED HEARTS is a Cinderella/billionaire story...with GIRAFFES. It's not all fairy tale, though, as there are some tears, so be prepared. As always, however, there's an HEA waiting at the end.



And with Christmas just around the corner, what better way to relax from the holiday bustle than with a feel-good novella? The heat level is dialed down low in HOLIDAY HEARTS, making it an easy story to take on the road for a quick, romantic read. It takes place on Mount Kenya, but see if you can spot all the nods to a traditional holiday Easter egged inside.



Oh, and as for the novella being a surprise? I think I was more surprised about having it ready for the Christmas season than anyone! 



And finally, be looking soon for the novella to be bundled up with Books 1 and 2 in a discounted box set for the holidays. It'll be titled WILD HEARTS.









TRUSTED HEARTS



Kim
Nichols trusted the wrong man to give her heart to. Now she's in South
Africa on a 3-month sabbatical to forget the ex who cheated on her. But
deplorable conditions at a local zoo—and the plight of one giraffe in
particular—spur her to track down the owner and advocate for the
animals.

Billionaire Brent Sher has invested in several
animal-related businesses, including a zoo and a safari lodge, whose
day-to-day runnings are managed by Jabu Amahle, his trusted right-hand
man. Vexed by the accusations made by one very outraged teacher from the
States, Brent invites the strong-minded beauty to assist him in a
hands-on undercover investigation.

A growing trail of company
abuses points to widespread corruption by Jabu. As Kim and Brent gather
evidence and the net tightens, a desperate Jabu resorts to a chilling
act that puts Kim's giraffe, the zoo, and the couple themselves in
imminent danger.

To survive, Kim and Brent must not only work together but put aside past betrayals, open their hearts, and learn to trust again.









HOLIDAY HEARTS



Twelve
years ago, mountain climbers Sharon Conner and Maxime Rousseau had a
fling on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Since then, no other partners have
quite measured up.

Now, two climb teams, led by guides in a
friendly race to summit Mount Kenya by Christmas Day, stumble across a
bongo caught in a poacher’s trap. Only two climbers are willing to stop
and help the large, striped African antelope – Sharon and Max, meeting
again for the first time since Kilimanjaro.

As old feelings
rekindle, more than just their Christmas spirit is tested on the
mountain. With a violent storm rushing in on Christmas Eve and no help
to be had from officials or wildlife agencies short-staffed by the
season, Sharon and Max soon realize it’s up to them alone to save the
injured, tall-horned bull they name Noel.

But can they pull off one more Christmas miracle — and rescue each other too?
