"Sparkles with charm and warmth... A writer to watch." Book Page
If she hadn’t been out of her mind with worry over not hearing from her sister in six weeks, Gina would never gone into that seedy strip club dressed like a hooker and she definitely would never have invited Mike back into her life.
But what were her options, really? The last time she’d called the police about Zoey, they had encouraged her to get counseling to deal with her “separation issues,” and the private investigator she hired, charged her $375 for a misspelled report of what she’d told him in the first place — her sister quit her job as a stripper to work as a barmaid at a biker rally, then vanished into thin air.
Zoey is nineteen and the only family she has left, so Gina gathers her courage, pulls on a pair of fishnet stockings, and marches into Sugar Daddy’s to see what she can find out.
Wouldn’t you know? There was Mike, wearing jeans that ought to be outlawed and a smile that had charmed the pants off her years ago before he left her behind to join the Army.
It’s a terrible idea to let him back into her life. She knows that. What are the chances of happily ever for a children’s librarian who likes supper at six and a Special Ops soldier who lives on energy bars and adrenalin?
Coming soon!

“True blue American storytelling.” Romantic Times
Meg was on the run from a riverboat gambling scheme gone awry. Schoolteaching had been a nightmare and her brief stint at the brothel had turned into a disaster.
Robert was a brand new Mountie, sent by his uncle on an expedition across the Canadian frontier in hopes that the adventure will make a man of young Robbie. But that task soon falls to Meg.
Together they face lawless frontiersmen, prairie fires, and the most frightening danger of all--falling hopelessly in love.
But Robert's destiny is to be a leader in the newly minted Canadian government. Marrying an older, Irish woman with a questionable past would be the ruin of him. She knew that, even if he didn't.
Just when Meg finds the courage to face her future, she’s on the run again.

“First-rate, full of humor and heart.” Janet Evanovich
Leon’s looking for a stiff drink and a loose woman.
Marjorie’s looking for a temporary husband who will sign those homesteading papers, then ride on out of Hope Springs.
It's 1869 and Marjorie’s had it with men who take off the first time someone waves a flag, a skirt, or chunk of gold in front of them. She’s seen what waiting for a wandering man does to a woman and wants no part of it. Which is fine by Leon, as he has no desire to be a sodbuster, or even a husband for that matter.
But desire finds them anyway and pulls them under. Now Leon needs to figure out how to prove he's worth keeping around, and Marjorie needs to decide whether Leon's worth waiting for.
