I've loved Will Henderson from the first day I laid eyes on him. But I made a solemn promise that same day. I would never, ever date Will Henderson. 

For almost a decade, Charlotte Dubois has loved Will Henderson from afar, squelching her heart's silent yearnings. But no way could she date her best friend Kelsey's brother.Their whole friendship is based on one rule: No friend of Kelsey can ever date Will.Instead, Charlotte has watched him date and break more hearts than should be legal. 

Will Henderson never got over that stolen kiss he shared with Charlotte years ago--though he's tried valiantly to rid his system of his sister's best friend. 

When circumstances bring the two into each other's arms again, Will wants to convince Charlotte to break the rules and take a chance on him. But to do so, they will have to hide their relationship from the ones they love most. Can true love triumph, or will they both end up losing?

This is a super cute book! Grab your copy and enjoy!

The blurb:

I was warned about him. I should've listened.

But I didn't.

Of course, I also thought Ryker Martel was about to propose.

He didn't.

I was ready to say yes.

He was ready to wait a little longer.

Now he's out of the country on an extended business trip and I'm staying in his penthouse apartment with seeds of disillusionment taking over my soul. Ryker reminded me that his estranged brother might show up out of the blue at his penthouse. He told me to let him know right away if he did. He'd take care of it.

His brother is bad news. The rebel, the black sheep of the family.

"Don't trust him," Ryker said. "Stay as far away from him as possible. He's a thief, a snake."

Warning duly noted. And ignored.

I considered myself equipped to handle whatever was thrown my way. I was wrong.

Nothing prepared me for Zane and the havoc he would wreak in my life--and in my heart. He turned me upside down and knocked me sideways. Falling for the other brother is never a good idea. Keeping it a secret, even worse. Especially when he proves to be the thief he was purported to be.

My heart will never be mine again. And I want it back. But it has been stolen and I'll never be the same.

Never.

A standalone novel from the LOVE UNDER WRAPS series.

I will have ARCs available in early October.

LANCASTER HOUSE

It's been a while since I've blogged, but I wanted to share this article and video from wiki.ezvid.com.

They featured Lancaster House on their list of Ten Dangerous and Enticing Paranormal Romances!

So cool!

See the article HERE.

It's the time of year to embrace a spooky story.

(But not too scary, because, hey, I'm a wimp when it comes to scary.)

So grab a copy and settle in for a wild ride.

Have you ever made a mistake? One so monumental you lost everything? I did, and I hate myself for it! All I want to do is close my eyes, and let the darkness consume me. Make it all go away. The end.

Ainsley is drowning in the depth of her despair. One wrong decision left her alone, with only regret as her constant companion. To escape it all, she makes another choice. One she hopes will end everything. Instead, she’s thrown into a whole new world filled with opportunities she doesn’t believe she deserves.

Ethan gives the appearance of breezing through life. But underneath his bright facade, he’s scarred by loss. When fate leads him into Ainsley’s world at the exact moment she needs someone the most, he can’t ignore the chance to right the wrongs of his past.

Ainsley and Ethan will struggle to help each other heal and start anew.

They’ll learn that the secret to conquering their pain lies within their power, if only they can do it together.

Always together.

Sometimes the ending is really the beginning.

This is Book 2 in the Songs Series.

Here's Book 1.

(Although you don't necessarily have to read Book 1 before reading Book 2, but it does give you a little background story before you delve into Book 2.)

They're both wonderful books!

My review:

Such a beautiful story about a sensitive topic. The second book in The Songs Series is wonderfully and thoughtfully written. I loved it.

This book is a heartfelt romance with a powerful message about the sanctity of human life. If you've ever simply needed a friend, The Songs that Brought Me Back will resonate--and leave you thankful for the people in your life.

Bonus: The book takes us to the author's hometown in Belgium, which is fascinating.

Enjoy!

Find out in this charming Christmas novel.

I came up with the idea last year to write a sweet, light, and fluffy Christmas romance, infused with a little mystery. I wanted to publish it last Christmas, but it wasn't quite ready.

I owe a very special thank you to my mother for her help with the interesting backstory included in the pages of this novel. Thanks to her love of genealogy, I was able to weave a little family history about my ancestor, James Lockwood, into my story. 

Incidentally, a framed sketch of his Book Bindery and Printing Office hangs proudly on my mother’s office wall, just as it does on my heroine’s office wall.

Also, my mother requested that I write a Hallmarkish novel, one with both romance and mystery.

So, here it is. 

Mom, this one’s for you.

I loved writing this book. It's cute and sweet--perfect for the Christmas season.

Enjoy!!

A New Release by a Favorite Author and Other News

Mix together a smooth-talking, too-handsome-for-his-own-good young man, a frumpy librarian, a bet too lucrative to pass on, and what do you get?

Not what you might think.

Instead you'll find truth in the age-old adages to never judge a book by its cover, and to be kind, everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

A heartbreaking and sweet romance all rolled into one!

Collateral Hearts releases today on Amazon.

Can a bet lead to love?

To escape the stress of college studies and caring for her sick mother, Ainsley Howard hides away with a book after her shift ends at the library each night. But when a sexy patron surprises her with a kiss and begs for a date, she wonders if she’s fallen into the pages of one of her romance novels. Though “Prince Charming” seems too good to be true, and she’s already forgotten his name in her flustered state, she agrees to go out with him. She’s tired of living vicariously through books. It’s time to claim her own happily-ever-after. 

When Ty Kartchner bets his friends he can get the bookworm in the corner to kiss him, big money is laid on the table. The guys know there’s no way he’ll succeed with the stern librarian. But when he not only kisses the uptight girl, but easily convinces her to go out with him the next night as well, Ty sees a chance to solve his financial woes. Raising the stakes, he places the bookworm’s heart down as collateral, and determines to win at any cost. 

As fate, literary classics such as The Scarlet Pimpernel, and deathbed promises throw the unlikely couple together, hearts tangle in Ty’s web of wagers until he discovers too late that winning might actually make him lose what he loves most. 

I had the opportunity to beta read this book twice. While it starts out with a cringe-worthy bet, involving some crude college boys, don't let that deter you. This book goes down some very heartfelt roads and takes some unexpected twists. In the end, it's a sweet and touching read that captured my heart. I loved it!

Charissa Stastny writes flawlessly, and is one of my best author friends. I hope you enjoy her stories as much as I do.

Collateral Hearts is the third book in the Ruled Out Romances Series. Although, each book is a stand-alone. The only thing in common between each book is that the hero and heroine immediately rule each other out as potential love interests.

Ruled Out Romances (Do not have to be read in order)

1 - Game Changer - Can he catch the one who's trying to get away?

2 - Package Deal - Angels come in different packages.

3 - Collateral Hearts - Can a bet lead to love?

4 - Corporate Crush - Can love tame the CEO? (coming in 2019)

In this series of stand-alone stories, star-crossed lovers meet, but rule each other out. But life, with its quirky twists and tangled turns, keep bringing each of the unlikely duos together until they discover their unique happily-ever-afters.

Enjoy!

BTW, I WILL HAVE BOOK NEWS COMING YOUR WAY VERY SOON!!

Here's a sneak peek, something I haven't advertised at all as of yet. Until the ebook formatting is done, and I have exact release dates, I've kept quiet thus far. But now the proverbial cat is out of the bag!

THE SONGS OF YOU AND ME

A debut novel releases today! I had the opportunity to beta read this novel several times as it took shape and turned into a great book. I hope you'll give this new author a chance and give her book a try. It's a wonderful story.

The Songs of You and Me

by Mylissa Demeyere

Book Blurb:

A SECOND CHANCE AT FIRST LOVE.

Jane Hartford fell head over heels for Jackson at the tender age of fifteen. She spent most of high school pining for him, until she realized he wasn't going to see her as anything more than his baby sister's best friend. Now she finds herself single with a daughter, a broken heart, and songs that remind her of a long lost love.

Jackson Wright is a man living with regret. His biggest one, never acting on his feelings for Jane. When he returns to Bellebrook, the town they grew up in, he literally runs into her and his world gets tossed upside down and sideways.

This time, Jackson isn't willing to give up. With a meddling sister eager to push both of them together, he believes things might actually work out. That is, if they can overcome the heavy baggage they both carry. Follow Jackson and Jane as they revisit their past, figuring out what went wrong so long ago.

Will they learn they have the power to make things right in the present?
