Brand New Release!

There are some characters you just want to give a second chance to. This is so true of the heroine of my latest book, Worth A Thousand Words, Angelique Durand.
            Angelique was the villain, you see, in my 2015 release A Taste of Hope. She did everything in her power to keep Hope and Lucien, the main couple, apart, for her own selfish reasons. She used the feelings a wonderful man had for her in order to get what she wanted.
            So she’s got a lot of bad karma stored up!
            While living her dream as a famous supermodel walking the runways in Paris, life kicks her in the head. She’s arrested for a crime she didn’t commit. A scuffle with the paparazzi ends with Angelique’s face disfigured in a tragic accident. She wants nothing more than to hide and lick her wounds in peace. To that end she goes to Lobster Cove, Maine, to heal in her brother’s house on the beach.
            Tim Baldwin also heads to Lobster Cove to heal at his family’s summer home. A Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist, he was captured by ISIS and rescued by Navy SEALs just before his execution. He has PTSD and has also lost his magic, the ability to take pictures.
            Except for one thing. There’s a beautiful mystery woman living next door. He can only take pictures of her. Only one problem – she never wants to go in front of a camera ever again.

            Drawn to each other, Tim and Angelique have a twisted path to health and true love, but the journey is so worth it! Check out Worth A Thousand Words and see for yourself!

Candy Hearts Romance

For Keeps by Veronica Lynch

Meghan Muldoon is at a crossroads: struggling to balance the demands of a high stress vocation as an advocate for victims of violence and her feelings for Keenan Rossi, a man who wants to make their relationship permanent.

On Valentine's Day, a series of routine crises force Meg to question staying in a profession which fulfills her both professionally and spiritually--or devoting the rest of her life to the one person who completes her.

Which one is For Keeps?


This story really struck a chord with me. My daughter is also a professional advocate/counselor for victims of sexual assault. It is demanding but such important work. Keenan also has a demanding job, just as demanding as Meg's, yet he doesn't seem to understand Meg's commitment and pressures her to leave her job and marry him. My only quibble with For Keeps is the fact that Meg is forced to choose.

Both Keenan and Meg are vivid characters, likeable and rootworthy. The romance is yummy!



Candy Hearts Romance

All Mine by Tamrie Foxtail

For nearly a decade, Maggie has put the needs of her younger siblings ahead of her own. Now she’s willing to accept a marriage without passion in order to protect her brother, but fate has a wicked sense of humor. On the eve of her wedding, Maggie meets the man of her dreams.
When Shamus loses a bet, the penalty is a blind date. Shamus is prepared to endure a long, boring night; the last thing he expects is to find the woman who can bring his heart back to life.

But Maggie is keeping secrets--and her engagement is only one of them.

Shamus and Maggie have one thing in common. Both of them are devoted to their families, and endearingly so. This story is charming and witty. It's a great addition to the Candy Hearts series!


Candy Hearts Romance

Hot Stuff by C. J. Fosdick

    How does a klutzy slogan writer from a quiet Wisconsin Village who’s pushing thirty expect to meet the man of her dreams?  Living with a long-tailed cat, a grandmother who bakes giant Snickerdoodles, and an autistic brother who “collects” neighborhood lawn ornaments, Katie has her hands full…until she opens the door to a “hot” rookie cop investigating a not-so-petty theft. Is it a major crime or an arrest of the heart?

This is one adorable story! Katie and Dallas are a great team. Dallas is one hot hunk of cowboy and Katie is a cute as cute can be. The play on the words Hot Stuff is brilliant! I smiled the entire time I read this book! I'll probably go back and read it again. Do yourself a favor and check Hot Stuff out!
