Holding Cynthia is now live!

For joining me in this slightly longer than planned rewriting process, I am putting this new release on sale for only 99¢ for one day only - release day. I hope you will love these two passionate characters as much as I do.

Falling in love is easy. Shaping an enduring love is much harder.
Cynthia Donohue has worked hard and lived frugally her entire life. She is ready for a new direction and Antony Jacobson appears when she is at her lowest point.
Cynthia doesn’t trust her luck. Silver fox Antony is a recent friend, and common sense tells her that he can disappear from her life as quickly as he arrived.
Antony has survived two failed marriages and isn’t seeking a third. But thoughts of Cynthia have haunted him for months, even when they are thousands of miles apart.
As they blend their lives, Cynthia’s poor health alarms Antony. He insists she needs a doctor. She disagrees.
Determined to look after her, he lays down rules of self care for her to follow. Cynthia balks. She argues that he is overly protective.
To keep the peace, she makes a medical appointment and what she learns shatters her. If she shares the news with Antony, she knows their future will be over before it begins.

Originally published in 2017, this book has been revised, re-edited and includes 10% new content. It is a steamy romance, intended for a mature audience. Scenes depicting power exchanges, spanking, and other acts of sensual intimacy may be unsuitable for some readers.

Adam’s long-lost brother arrives to join the celebration. Stunned by the presence of a man she didn’t know existed, Jazz is bitten by betrayal. Adam has shattered their promise to always be honest and forthright with each other.
If Adam can withhold confidences, so can Jazz. She is burdened by a recent secret of her own. Adam and she should be drawing closer than ever, but suspicions start to tear them apart.
Adam’s brother Cameron has traveled from the Australian outback in search of a destiny that has been whispered to him by that ancient land. His dreams are being realized. Adam and Jazz’s are falling apart, but they soldier on.
Adam has one more secret to share with Jazz. This one may reinforce their devotion. Or it may sour their marriage into one of the shortest on record.

Disclaimer: His To Love contains steamy scenes of BDSM power exchanges, spankings, and other erotic practices. It is intended for mature readers. Discretion is advised.

Please note: This is the third and final book in the His To Hold series. All the books in the series can be read as standalones but the world-building experience will be richer if they are read in order.

His To Love is an expansive novel that grew out of a short novella by the same name. That story was included in the 2022 Christmas anthology, Snow Bound, which is no longer available. The kernel planted way back then grew like topsy and this final reiteration, as a novel, includes approximately 90% new material.

The summer is hot - Simon & Sadie are hotter!

Then a lover from Simon's past resurfaces and a dangerous new adversary emerges. Soon their lives are entangled in a web of uncertainty. Increasing pressures from the outside world threaten to derail their dreams of a happy, married life.
Please note, this is a revised and expanded version of the book released in 2016. It is almost 25% longer than the first edition but still features a steamy romance that includes erotic scenes, domestic discipline, and power exchanges.

Simon is back and hotter than ever! 💖🔥💖

My winter has been spent re-writing some of my older books. Until late 2022, the publisher held the rights for the first seven books I wrote in this genre.
After I’d revised Simon Says a couple of times, start to finish, my beta readers looked at it and offered many helpful suggestions on how to fix it. I revised it again to their comments before giving it to a terrific editor. I loved the feedback from that exercise and used it to revise a fourth or fifth time. I kind of lost track of how many times I redid but writing demand perseverance among many other qualties.

As the pandemic draws to a close, people are gathering again. Their social skills are rusty but the need for human contact entices many to New Year’s Eve parties.
Finally, elusive billionaire Simon can pursue the object of his desire. Unaware of his interest in her, Sadie treasures her independence as a satisfied single.
Living alone she can do whatever she likes. And she likes shopping. Loves it in fact. Online. In person. Anything for the endorphin rush of bagging the next shiny new thing.
Simon has three basic rules when he wants something: follow his instincts, research the target, and make his move. Losing is not an option. When he learns that Sadie is sliding toward financial ruin, he decides to step in.
Simon’s methods are swift and stern. Sadie is smitten but wary. Her trust isn’t easily won but their future shows promise. Then tragedy from Simon’s past destroys his usual restraint. Sadie sees a different side of him and wonders if she has made a terrible mistake.
This is a revised and expanded (more than 40% longer!) version of this book, originally published in 2016.

Good, better, best - A Time For Will is back with fresh new scenes and a crisp storyline!

I loved the earlier version of this book - but this one is even better!

Do you love time travel stories? I wrote A Time For Will six years ago and assigned the rights for it to a publisher. Late in 2022 I managed to have the rights for my first seven books returned to me. Now I am going through them one by one. A Time For Will is the first of my original books that has been totally rewritten, revised, and now - as of this week - re-released. It’s much longer than the first version and a whole lot sexier.

Description:
When cowboy Will Dawson lands on Lissie Pettigrew’s doorstep, she doesn’t think it’s the universe working miracles. She thinks it’s another of her sister’s practical jokes.
Will remembers going into the barn on his family farm. Then lightning crackled and the earth fell away beneath his feet. That was 1885.
Lissie doesn’t believe in love, let alone love at first sight. But this stern cowboy, who is so unfamiliar with the modern world, sends her heart racing with his caring but strict manners.
Will wants to return to 1885. Lissie wants to find her twin sister, who disappeared at the same moment Will was dragged through time.
Lissie may only see her sister again at the cost of losing Will forever. If things go wrong, she may lose both of them. The forces that split the time-space continuum are stirring again. Will and Lissie weigh the risks before returning to the portal.
Disclaimer: this is a revised and expanded version of the book originally released in 2017. It is 10% longer than the first edition and the steamy, spanking content is hotter than ever. If this content is likely to offend you, please do not read this book.
