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!
