Charisse leaned into the half-moon pose during her Monday morning yoga class. Sunlight flooded the studio and made the hardwood floors gleam. She breathed in at the same time as the rest of the women and the one man in the class. She had to center herself. Conor hadn’t called yet and she thought they had a date that day.

She breathed out. Continue reading

Charisse pressed through to the end of Saturday, wishing she’d agreed to see Conor that night. Marie either shut down or ranted about Daddy whenever they talked too long about Mother; Charisse didn’t want to listen to any of that. And she sure as heck wasn’t going to call Daddy and ask about Mother or Raul. But Conor had seemed more than willing to listen to her work through her problems. She needed to quit turning him away.

Thankful Hearts Made a 2015 Favorite List!

I got really behind on my blog reading over the holidays. But when I was catching up on Romance Novels for the Beach, I found she had put Thankful Hearts on her list of favorites for 2015!!

I’m truly honored. This is a first for me!

Here are a couple of behind the scenes statistics from my business meeting over the weekend:

  1. Thankful Hearts is my number one selling book ever!

Best Seller At All Romance!

2. Veteran Hearts is my most downloaded book ever. Even though it was free for a limited time, it eeked out the win over The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode One with over 1000 downloads!

If you haven’t read them yet, I hope you do! The stories are still relevant even outside of the holidays they center around.

Conor’s phone rang, and he pulled it out from his back pocket, hoping that it was Charisse. He clenched his jaw when he saw the name Becca—Elise’s sister. What the fuck? They hadn’t talked since Elise’s will reading when she’d practically accused him of murder. Continue reading

Conor strode back to his car. This fucking family. Even her mother was messed up.

Raul said, “I’m sorry Mr. Grishin. I did not realize she still doesn’t know where her mother is.”

“We’ll talk about it during the drive.”

Raul held the door open. “There’s nothing to say, sir.” Continue reading

Welcome back to The Beautician and the Billionaire. When we last left off, Charisse had run into the last man to see her mother. He’s now Conor’s driver. Enjoy!

Charisse closed her mouth and tried to smile. She remembered chatting with Raul as a child when he drove her back and forth to school. They’d talked about books and sports, and he’d never talked down to her. But the betrayal by her mom, when she’d abandoned them, bled over into her memories of Raul. He’d quit his job after taking her mother away.

Conor asked, “You two know each other?” Continue reading

Happy New Year! I hope you had a great holiday season whatever holidays you celebrated!

I am fresh from the annual meeting with my editor and publicist, and I’m totally pumped about the upcoming year. Billionaires, police men, coffee houses, and of course hot and heavy sex are a few of my favorite things coming up in my stories for you in 2016.

Here’s a rough schedule for you. We’ll see how close I come to keeping it! Continue reading

New Review!

New Readers

I hope everyone who celebrated Christmas had a great day! I was pleasantly surprised to come back to the internet and find several purchases of my books and a new review!

Thanks to Stacey is Sassy for reviewing Masked Hearts! She’s a frequent commenter here, and I really appreciate her reading my stories and sharing her thoughts on them. She has a blog that you must check out; not only does she do book reviews, but she does fashion. Sometimes she combines books and fashion. It’s a lot of fun!

From her review of Masked Hearts:

Masked Hearts was a sweet story with a little angst. Mark was by far the star of the show with his romantic heart and love for his children. Sienna was definitely sweet, but drove me crazy when she let people manipulate and use her. When she eventually stood up for herself, I saw a turning point in her character and it was definitely for the better.

And good news for readers: I messed up the end date for my sale at All Romance on Masked Hearts and Thankful Hearts. You can still get them each for only $1!!

And be sure to follow my blog for the start of The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 4: The Past. Or purchase Episode 4 at All Romance and read it now!
