Serendipity – Perfect Fling
With the blog being fussy lately, I haven’t had a chance to post and let you know that PERFECT FLING is available for you to purchase! Yay! Finally Erin and Cole’s story is here and it’s a USA TODAY BESTSELLER. Thanks you to everyone who bought the book already! Need more convincing?
Erin … The Good Girl
Assistant District Attorney, Erin Marsden,is Serendipity’s quintessential good girl. The only daughter of the ex-police chief, she has never made a misstep, content with her quiet, predictable life … or so she thinks. Until Cole Sanders returns to town with heated interest in his eyes and shadows in his past.
Cole … The Bad Boy
After seven years of deep under cover work in New York City, Cole returns to Serendipity to help his aging father and to find his moral compass once more. Not to get involved with wholesome Erin Marsden. Even as a rebellious teen, he knew a girl like Erin was off limits and that hasn’t changed. But neither one of them can resist their off-the-charts chemistry and a one night stand brings complications neither Erin nor Cole expected.
The Attraction … Off the Charts!
Then Erin’s current case plunges her into a killer’s crosshairs. With more at stake than anyone knows, Erin succumbs to Cole’s take-charge attitude. As a bodyguard, he’s the best. As a lover, he’s even better. But there’s more than the matter of Erin’s safety at stake. And Cole must forgive the sins of his past and prove to himself – and to Erin – that he’s capable of the love and the forever she – and their baby – desperately need.
JOIN the SERENDIPITY’s FINEST FACEBOOK GROUP and talk spoilers about Serendipity and PERFECT FLING!
Up next? PERFECT TOGETHER, Sam’s story .. and now I can finally give you the back copy because you’ve finally know who Sam’s heroine is: NICOLE FARNSWORTH … and they haven’t met under the best circumstances in PERFECT FLING …
In the picturesque town of Serendipity, New York, three siblings have grown up in the shadow of their proud and respected police chief father. But what do love, fate, and fortune have in store for the next generation of Serendipity’s finest?
Tired of being the easygoing daughter, always ignored in favor of her high-maintenance sister, and no longer interested in being her fiancé’s trophy wife, Nicole Farnsworth calls off her wedding. All she wants is to be herself. And where better to find her destiny than Serendipity? The place where she met the one man who made her heart beat faster, and gave her the courage to reinvent her life—even if he doesn’t know it.
Officer Sam Marsden calls Serendipity home and he loves it there—even though his childhood sweetheart was stolen by his best friend. After such heartbreak, Sam fears he can’t trust his instincts when it comes to love. Yet he’s so tempted by Nicole, a woman he met only briefly but who has starred in his dreams ever since. For Nicole and Sam, opening their hearts one more time could change their lives forever. But who’ll be the first to take that chance?
Are you surprised at Sam’s heroine?? Thoughts? Comments?

Post-RWA & PERFECT FLING
I’m back! I’m tired! And I’m STILL playing catch up. I have to say, this was the most informative, energy filled, exciting Romance Writer’s of American conference that I can remember in recent history. I met some of you and it was wonderful! I went to workshops where I learned new things and soaked up information like a sponge. I want to share things here but I’m still in the process of making some changes and until everything is finalized, I can’t say anything yet. Waah. I hate being patient. Just ask Janelle. I’m PITA about things like this! But I believe what I have to tell is you exciting and great news for both me and for all of you.
Now that I’ve teased you mercilessly – but really if I have to suffer the waiting – why not have company while doing it? 
I hope you know that PERFECT FLING is on sale this coming TUESDAY!!!! YAY! So please please preorder and spread the word!
PREORDER LINKS – CLICK - HERE!
Did you know I have a SERENDIPITY’S FINEST FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE? Click to join and talk to other readers who’ve read or will read Serendipity! Note I allow spoilers here if people read review copies, so beware. I’d love to have you join us! There’s 150 members of the group so far!
I’m considering doing a STREET TEAM of sorts – one that is easy to maintain – only asks for Internet sharing type of compliance, and eBooks for review.
So for today, I’m asking you who is already involved in author street teams, what you think of them, how they operate, how often you receive goodies, and if you think they really do help spread the word to NEW READERS, which really is the goal. THANKS!
