1–What is the title of your latest release? HER BEST FRIEND’S BROTHER. I’m thrilled to share this new series titled The Six Gems with you. The idea sprung from taking a girl’s trip with my best friends to Gatlinburg last year. I’ve been friends with many of these amazing women for twenty to thirty-five plus years. They aren’t just friends anymore; they’re my sisters and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them.   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When travel blogger Wynter Barrington’s wealthy, disapproving family cuts her off, she finds comfort in a passionate chance encounter with Riley Davis, her best friend’s brother. He’s hot as hell…and totally off-limits. And when they meet again months later, they begin a sizzling affair. Wynter knows Riley doesn’t do love and marriage, but her youthful crush is feeling more and more like a real relationship. If she’s not careful, Wynter may put more than her relationship with her best friend on the line. Can she survive falling in love with the one man she was never supposed to touch?   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? About a year ago, I ran a poll…

1–What is the title of your latest release? ONE NIGHT ONLY 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A smoking hot one night stand leads to a surprise pregnancy. But when the heroine finds out that the hero is her father’s new CFO, they agree to a secret, strictly platonic co-parenting alliance until they find a way to stop her father from firing him on the spot. The strictly platonic part doesn’t go so well. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Well, One Night Only is the second book in the Hana Trio series which takes place in Los Angeles, so that part was easy. And I’ll take all the easy I can get because writing a book is so freaking hard. Haha. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely. Megan might be one of my favorite heroines. She is so bold and funny. I definitely have a girl crush on her. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Swoony, sweet, but wounded 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? I wrote this book while my father was in the hospital and edited it soon after he…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THEIR ICELANDIC MARRIAGE REUNION, Book 1 of my Dream Destinations Duet. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Hollywood’s ex-fairytale couple Winter and Josh are reunited in the land of ice and fire – and need to discover if the heat between them is enough to melt their hearts once more. And if they’re willing to risk a reunion – and the potential for more heartbreak – in front of the world’s media… 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? My editor and I were discussing ideas for a new book, and she mentioned she’d love to see some more armchair travel… but I didn’t want to take my characters to any of the usual places! I’d visited Iceland in my twenties and found it such a fascinating place, I thought it would be brilliant to go back – even if only through fiction. I loved looking through my old photos and diaries to get a feel for the place – and researching some places I never made it to but wish I had! 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely! Winter…

Most Likely to take a chance? Definitely Seb Costa, the camp chef, and our hero. He’s a risky guy, almost to the point of being reckless. But the man has a heart of gold, even when he tries to hide it under all that “cool” exterior. Most likely to do the unexpected? This one goes to the sweet little girl of the story, Kimmy. She has a child’s pure innocence and gets right to the heart of the matter. Every time Seb and Kate try to keep things casual and easy, Kimmy is there to knock them off balance. Most likely to be there for friends and family? Mason Avery, the owner of Camp True North Springs, is as loyal as they come. He will do whatever it takes to help the camp families on their journey of healing from grief. If you’re facing any kind of challenge, you’d want Mason Avery on your side. Most likely to surprise themselves? Mason’s new fiancée Dana, who came up with the whole idea for Camp True North Springs, continues to discover new capabilities and possibilities for herself.  She was strong and brave in her law enforcement career before, but now she’s an…

1–What is the title of your latest release? LIKE A HOLIDAY INN 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Sparks fly when a grumpy British innkeeper who is being forced to sell her B&B gets snowed in with her best friend’s brother, a charismatic American who has offered to buy the place – and who she instantly dislikes. A charming, closed-door romance that’s perfect for a cozy fireside read. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? This is the fourth story in my Port Willis Romance series (though it can be read as a standalone), so I knew that it would take place in the fictional English village on the coast of Cornwall that I’d dreamed up for my other books. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Maybe not at first! She’s a little grouchy and rough around the edges, though she’s definitely changed since allowing her best friend Ginny into her life. Really, Rebecca is just someone who holds things close to the vest and doesn’t know how to trust—until our hero enters the picture and shakes things up for her. 5–What are three words that describe your hero?…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE DEVIL GETS HIS DUE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? An irresponsible party girl gets knocked up by her hot sort-of enemy, an uptight hedge fund manager. He moves in, hijinks ensue…and they discover they don’t hate each other as much as they thought. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? It was kind of already decided since all the Devil books take place in LA. The first one was inspired by the show “Lucifer”, so it never occurred to me to set it anywhere else. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely. Keeley would be the most fun friend ever, until she got you arrested. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Brooding, responsible, restrained 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That I’ve forgotten everything about being pregnant. I did it three times…I assumed I’d remember how it went but I wound up having to do a lot of research. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I edit while I draft. I can’t help it. I’ve even tried voice…

A man and woman fall in love, but she disappears right before he leaves for his military service. He comes back to his hometown irrevocably changed. And she comes back with a baby. A blizzard at the local inn traps them together where they will have to work things out or lose each other forever. This is a story full of feels, set at a cozy small-town inn where everyone is preparing for Christmas. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I love writing about the fictional small town of Trinity Falls, Pennsylvania. And the historic inn on the lake seemed like the perfect setting for a Christmas story about revisiting the past in order to imagine the future. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? I would love to hang out with Grace. She would probably choose to meet at the toddler park so that her adorable baby girl, Izzy, could play while we sipped our hot apple cider. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Chris is tough, independent, and…

FLIRTING WITH THE BEAST was inspired by a cabin my husband and I bought halfway through the Covid pandemic. We live near the beach, literally a five-minute walk from the San Clemente beach and pier, but during California’s lockdown we felt a need to go somewhere, so we’d feel as if we’d escaped to somewhere.  Ty and I spent a couple of weekends looking at cabins and areas, and in January 2020 we found a 1923 cabin near Lake Arrowhead in the little town of Blue Jay in California’s San Bernardino Mountains. Even better, the drive was only an hour and a half without traffic (especially with my husband at the wheel.) The cabin still had the original logs, all placed in a vertical design, which was popular in the 1920s and early 30s.  Why vertical placement of logs?  It allowed local builders to use local logs, and the logs didn’t have to be exactly the same size as there was no joining logs at the corners.  The cabin we fell in love with needed so much work, but we loved its history, (our Hawaii house was built in 1929, and our San Clemente home was built in 1926-27) and…

When Anderson Kelly, Woodland Park High School’s former quarterback, returns to town after a lengthy stint in the army, everyone in the small Colorado mountain town is thrilled, especially since he’s recently joined the fire department. There’s one person who isn’t all that pleased, however. That’s his former girlfriend and current single mother Chelsea Davis. As they reconnect, they must mend old wounds, forgive their mistakes, and figure out if it’s possible to plan a future together. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? For three years we lived in Colorado Springs. One day, while driving through the mountains, we came upon the darling town of Woodland Park. When we took a walk in Memorial Park and I saw some guys from a nearby army base playing basketball, I knew this town was going to one day be in a book. 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? Absolutely! I always try to write novels featuring characters that I would like to know….
