New Cover – Where There’s Smoke

WhereTheresSmoke72lgI feel like I haven’t posted on here in forever.  I have good excuses like the day job and the fact that I was on vacation and finishing up several projects, which means new books soon!  The next up is Where There’s Smoke.  It’s a standalone story that will be available individual in ebook on 10/2 and then in print along with a story by Lorelei James and another by Jess Dee in a follow up to Three’s Company called Two to Tango.

Here’s a little more about the book:

When old flames unite, the heat is on!

A Two to Tango story.

Kyana Brady never intended to return to small-town life in upstate New York, but reality doesn’t give a damn about plans. She dropped everything to care for her dying aunt. Now that Rose is gone, Kyana realizes something else has changed—her priorities. Her high-paid, higher-stress law career no longer holds any appeal.

While debating her future, an insomnia-driven stroll turns into a desperate dash to save Rose’s elderly friend, Benjamin, from his burning house. And he’s always believed one good turn deserves another. So the old man rewards Kyana’s bravery with a little meddling in her love life.

After Ben’s great-nephew Logan witnesses his childhood friend’s bravery on the news, he rushes home to help his uncle rebuild. But before his hammer hits the first nail, sparks are flying. The heat between him and Kyana melts old affection into a completely new—and combustible—relationship.

Before they have a chance to discover how hot their love will burn, another disaster threatens to separate them forever. After all, they say bad luck comes in threes…


Product Warnings
A love affair that’s been ten years in the making is sure to be hot enough to scorch. And everyone knows, where there’s smoke there.
TwoToTango72lgI hope you enjoy my light romantic suspense.  Other books coming up quick include Healing Touch in December (the sequel to Dream Machine where Luke Malone gets his story!) and the start of the next generation of Compass, which debuts with Winter’s Thaw in February. Plus there’s lots of print action too.  Love’s Compass just released last week (print compilation of Northern Exposure and Southern Comfort), Eastern Ambitions author copies just arrived today.  They release the same day as Where There’s Smoke technically.  Plus Powertools books 1-4 will be available in print in November and my very first published book, Picture Perfect, will be in an anthology with JK Coi called Watching it All.  That will be available at Romanticon in October first then sometime after all the usual places sometime afterward.
Whew!

Hammer it Home (Powertools 6) Out Today!

HammerItHome72lgToday’s the day!  The (sort of, maybe) last book of the Powertools series is finally here!  I’m happy and sad having come to enjoy writing these characters so much.  Don’t worry, we’ll be seeing more of the Crew in a future series.  If the hot construction workers were Powertools, their mechanic friends are Hot Rods!

I’m thrilled to say Eli and Alanso, who you’ll meet in this book, are kicking off a new series.  It will start with three books out next year and (hopefully) three the following year.  Each is titled with the restored car the character drives.  First up, King Cobra, then Mustang Sally and third will be Super Nova.  More to come on that soon, or you can check out the post below for a little more.

Available at Amazon
Available at B&N
Available at Samhain

Okay, but for today’s installment, here’s a little more info:

When times get tough, the tough stage one scorching hot intervention.

Morgan is happy that her best friend Kate is expecting the crew’s littlest member, but helping renovate a room for a nursery is more than she can bear. Baby furniture and pastel paint are a painful reminder that she and Joe can’t—and will never—conceive. There’s no hiding it from the rest of the close-knit crew, either.

True to their unique brand of love, the gang rallies to find a non-traditional solution to alleviate their friends’ suffering. Not with a cold, clinical visit to a sperm donation clinic, but delivering it the old fashioned way. With a healthy dose of searing passion.

But soon after Morgan’s scorching hot night with her husband’s four best friends, an accident threatens the life of one of those men. The challenges that lie ahead will test crew’s powerful bond to the limit—and their long-standing promise to take care of each other through good, bad, and sexy times. Whatever it takes…

Plus the book has already had an awesome review released.  It’s from Alyn at Guilt Pleasure reviews and you can read the whole thing here.  My favorite part is:  “While the stories are short, they always blow me away and leave me wishing I could be part of that little circle even if for one night. Another great chapter in the Powertools saga that left this book addict very satisfied!”

I hope you agree!  Thank you so much for sticking with me through this series and making Powertools a career changing project for me.  I appreciate every single reader who has contributed to their success.

Thank you and happy reading,

4 1/2 Stars from RT Magazine

NailedToTheWall72LGI’m thrilled to share this review from RT Magazine (4 1/2 stars, their highest score!) for Nailed to the Wall.  My favorite part about it is that it rates the book well because of the extension of the crew’s relationship to the crew ladies, not despite that bond.  Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this book that I couldn’t see any other way.  I hope Hammer it Home, the sixth and final Powertools book, does it justice.  Hammer it Home will be out in just a few short weeks and in it you’ll meet some sexy mechanics who will be featured in their own series, Hot Rods, along with cameos from your favorite construction workers 🙂

You can read the whole review on their site, where it’s featured inHammerItHome72lg the Everything Erotica section here but this is a great snippet:  “There is so much genuine emotion in this story it will bring tears to readers’ eyes. The closeness and caring that the characters show each other makes “Nailed to the Wall” an exceptional read.”

Nailed to the Wall – available now
Hammer it Home – coming 8/14
