Writes:
I write modern love stories from sweet romance to women’s fiction featuring mature heroines with heart and hope. I love strong women, great heroes, and stories that validate and entertain.
About:
I was raised in California, but I’ve lived all over the world, and continue to travel—preferably with my husband and sons—whenever possible. I love to read and can usually be found sneaking in more reading while making dinner or folding laundry. I grew up dreaming of happy-ever-afters and being an author has allowed me to create happy endings for my characters, my readers, and myself. Being a wife and mom is my great joy, but it’s peace I find between the covers of a special story. When not with my family, I love to meet up with my readers and talk books and life and men…because after all, I am a romance writer.
My Reader Match Loves:
- Warm, witty, compassionate heroines with heart and backbone, women who’d make good friends.
- Hunky heroes of all ages—gorgeous, physical, smart, strong but never overbearing, men who love a woman in and out of bed.
- Happy ever afters, and the happier the better.
- Traveling to different destinations in books and real life. Interesting settings make interesting stories!
- All the feels! Laughter, tears, a roller coaster read.
In my stories, readers will find:
- Heroines making decisions for themselves and their futures.
- Heroes who don’t try to change the heroine but respect her just as she is.
- Characters that travel and have adventures—adventure is the spice of life!
- Heat and sizzle. Smart conversation and banter. Deeply satisfying romance.
- Fairytale endings whenever possible. Live is magical.
FLIRTING WITH FIRE by Jane Porter
Love isn’t just an act in this captivating and flirty romance by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.
Forty-nine-year-old Margot Hughes has lived and breathed theater for the past twenty-five years. After a devastating breakup with her playwright fiancé, she wants nothing to do with the industry. She has sworn off New York, theater, actors—all of it. She returns to her hometown on California’s central coast and takes a job in real estate, where she manages significant investment properties. But Margot’s suddenly thrown back into the theater world when Sally, her friend and boss, who had been restoring and funding Cambria’s historic theater, has a heart attack. Before she knows it, Margot is tapped to take over the troubled summer production of Barefoot in the Park.
But the play is no walk in the park—the leads and director have all quit, and Margot struggles to find new actors…until Max Russo arrives. Forty-five-year-old Max is a former soap opera star turned rugged cowboy on TV’s most popular western series. Max has a huge following and is the perfect hero to step up and save the play, provided Margot stars opposite him. Although adamant she would never return to theater, Margot enjoys the long hours of rehearsal with a professional like Max, who is charming, witty, and passionate. But when the curtains close, can Margot allow herself to fall for Max when he represents everything she left behind?
