available August 28th!

Yes, I embrace romance! In fact, I envelop, hug, and snuggle romance, both in real life and in the make-believe worlds of music, movies, television and most importantly to me . . . books!  

Which is why I am a romance writer! 

I write contemporary romances full of life, love, a hint of laughter and perhaps a dash of danger too. I love the challenge of the boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl-back and the journey of joy and hardship two people go through, and oh, there has to be a 'happily ever after' or I'm just not satisfied!

I don't officially post for the first time until April 11th, but stop by and visit us!
