What do you get when you cross book release day + a group of romance readers + wine + rain? Please see below. I had an amazing Desired Hearts release day Sunday doing one of my favorite things in the world…meeting with a brand new book club. They were local, and invited me to a winery to talk about And So, We Dance, so obviously it was the best day ever! One even lent me her cardigan for my freshly-straightened hair when it drizzled. Tonight I'm heading to an Italian restaurant for celebration #2 with ten girlfriends which I feel I've earned after filling out 1,032 health and immunization and financial aid etc. forms for my daughter's upcoming foray into college. Also, MY BABY IS LEAVING in less than one month. Hold me…

P.S. Speaking of books and booze, I'll be in Leighton, PA this Sunday for a Books and Booze Signing with some books and stickers from the new club. Come say hi!

 

Turns out this place is 15 min. from my house, and I've never been!

Desired Hearts book two in The Bachelor Pact series, is officially out. This one brings snowbound heat, small-town charm and the kind of slow-burn tension that only gets worse when you’re stuck in a log cabin with the one man you swore you wouldn’t fall for. Set in Cedar Falls, my fictional town inspired by Hammondsport in the Finger Lakes, this book is for readers who love flirty banter, wine-fueled temptation and emotionally guarded heroes who don’t stand a chance. Parker wasn't supposed to catch feelings. Delaney wasn’t supposed to believe a word he said. But when sparks fly and the rules of the pact start to unravel… all bets are off.

 

If you love found family, forced proximity, and bachelor promises just begging to be broken, start reading now and see why some promises are meant to be broken.

 

Speaking of special editions, Bloodwite is getting the royal treatment for all my steamy small town + vampire lovers. I'm trying to decide between separate books or one big omnibus paperback for the series, so if you have an opinion on that, please email me. In the meantime, I'm writing the final book in Heirs of Elydor, so head down and excuse me while I jump back into Terran's story! Man, he's a stubborn one…

Each week I share part of a quote to coincide with the theme of a series. This month, we're celebrating all heroines from across all three genres! Email me the full quote after week four and be entered to win a signed paperback of your choice.
