Some of the best love stories look doomed from the start. I write novels of women discovering their grit (grace under pressure, perseverance) and self-discovery is not one of the typical cornerstones of romantic fiction. BUT, is there anyone less appealing than someone who has just discovered their own power?? Male. Female. People who are comfortable in their own skin and know their worth are imminently attractive people. Those are my characters--eventually. The second chance romance I write are all about both the heroine and hero finding the inner grit and then doing something about it. Love follows. From historical fiction to contemporary, I write stories that I like to read about characters that I can identify with--I'm hopeful you like those stories too.
As cupid's arrows are flying and chocolate and wine on are so many tables, let's remember that one of the most attractive quality a human being can possess is .. . confidence--particularly if that swagger came at a price.

I hope you will discover your own grit, and glow with the power that comes from knowing you can overcome.
