Aaliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp is OUT NOW!

An heiress. An arranged marriage. And a little bit of luck.
I'm so excited--I decided to release Aaliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp EARLY!!!This isn't your typical Aladdin story. There is an arranged marriage. There is a billionaire. But there's also his assistant, who happens to have a lucky charm lamp. When he offers that lamp to Aaliyah, her luck changes in ways she never imagined. Soon, she has to realize if it's really the lamp giving her luck, or if she can make her own luck to be with the man she loves. Taking a contemporary twist on Aladdin, where the princess character gets the lamp instead of Aladdin himself, was SO MUCH FUN to write. It's free in KU, and I'd love to know what you think of the story!!  Read Aaliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp FREE in KU! 

New Title, Same Book

Recently, I've decided to change one of the titles in my Once Upon a Billionaire Series. 
What was once Yasmine and the Billionaire's Lamp is now...
Aaliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp! 

The reason for this change?
I kept thinking about the story I'm telling. Mine is based off of the ORIGINAL fairy tale, not Disney's version. For example, imagine this:

What if Aladdin was a woman? And she fell in love with her genie?

So I thought, why not give her a name that sounded more like Aladdin? 
Hence, Aaliyah! 


It's still the same story, so fantastic and romantic. I hope you love it like I do! You can preorder it here (and hopefully the changes will update on Amazon soon! I'm still waiting for them to update the title.)
***
I'm also working on an Alice in Wonderland billionaire fairy tale. Have you seen this cover? I LOVE IT.


Adelie is after the white rabbit.
Not Maddox Hatter's heart.

A contest.
To save a dwindling theme park.

When Adelie finds the white rabbit and wins the prize, it puts unwanted attention on her from every side.
Suddenly, the park’s owner makes her an outrageous offer.

He’s rebranding Wonderland.
And he wants her to be his Alice.

Maddox Hatter is intriguing.
With his quirky, seductive smile and thoughtful attention,
He’s mysterious and oh so tempting.

Adelie is no model. She knows she’s crazy to accept his offer
Even if it does mean more time with him.

Then again, Wonderland promises everyone is a little mad sometimes.

What do you think? I'm LOVING this one!

Goldie and the Billionaire Bear

I'm pleased to present the first book in a new series of contemporary fairy tale romances:
True love with a twist. 
These billionaire fairy tale retellings take beloved stories you know and add a pinch of modern, a dash of happy, and a whole heap of clean, swoon-worthy romance. Shaken, not stirred. You and your kindle will find yourselves drinking them up.

Book one is coming September 12, 2019! Here is the cover for Goldie and the Billionaire Bear:





Of the women he's dated, she isn't too picky or too critical. For Adrian, Goldie fits him just right.

Goldie Bybanks is terrible at following directions.

After a mysterious letter arrives from a long-lost aunt, Goldie sets out to find answers in a part of the country she’s never been to before. But one wrong turn leads to another. Her car is running out of gas. The sun is setting. There isn’t a town in sight, much less a hotel. Before digging herself too deeply into this mysterious area, she decides to stop for the night at an abandoned cabin.

Adrian Bear is shocked to discover a beautiful blonde sleeping in his family fishing cabin. His weekend plans to locate his late father’s missing lock box quickly veer into an attempt to help Goldie find her long-lost aunt instead.

It isn’t only because Adrian is the type to aid a person in need. But because the woman who ate his oatmeal, sat in his chair, and who he discovered sleeping at his cabin is too captivating to let go. She’s no catch-and-release. She’s a keeper. 

If only he could convince her of that. 


Find Goldie and the Billionaire Bear here! 

This is Goldilocks like you've never read it before! It's romantic and charming and funny. I recently got it back from my beta reader and she said she couldn't put it down!

Credit for the cover design goes to Najla Qamber. I've worked with Najla for years and she's never failed to disappoint. Her designs are always spot on, she does an incredible job, and this series is no different! Check out this gif Najla designed for me!

Currently the series will have 9 books. Eeeep, I can't WAIT for them all to be ready!!

In the meantime, preorder Goldie and the Billionaire Bear for 99 cents!

Christmas in July!

I have a new release today! May I present Second Chance Christmas, a clean Christmas romance!

The cover was a premade done by Beetiful Cover Designs. So cute! <3

Saylor falls for the department store Santa, but she never expected he would also be the key to helping her overcome her painful past. 
Mistletoe means so much more than kissing.

It’s Saylor Bates’ first Christmas Eve alone since her divorce. While killing time window shopping at the mall, Saylor manages to catch Santa and pleads with him to reassure her son via FaceTime he’ll be coming for Christmas. 

What Saylor doesn’t expect is for Santa to also be dazzle-eyed and drop-dead gorgeous beneath that fur-trimmed hat and fluffy white beard. 

When Cole Osteen is snagged by Saylor under his guise as Santa on Christmas Eve, he can’t help but get to know her better. Soon their romance ignites quicker than a Christmas display. It isn’t just Cole’s kissing under the mistletoe that keeps Saylor warm. While kissing is definitely a perk, Saylor discovers mistletoe represents so much more. 

Both Cole and Saylor are battling pain from past relationships. Maybe this Christmas, it’s about giving someone a second chance. Not only at love, but at forgiveness.

Can Saylor and Cole both let go of the pain of their past to find it?

This Christmas romance is humorous enough to make you laugh, touching enough to make you cry, and swoony enough you'll fall in love right along with Cole and Saylor.

I have a new logo!

Najla Qamber and I have been working together for years. She was my first cover designer when I began to self publish YA fantasy and paranormal romance as Cortney Pearson. We've worked together a LOT, and she's been flexible with my nitpicks and suggestions, my cover redos, my logo designs and more.

Najla is, in a word, incredibly talented, patient, and amazing.

Okay. That wasn't one word. She needed more praise than that. ;)

I'm pleased to present the new logo Najla designed for me. It was one of her premades, and I snatched it up the minute I saw it.


Do you want to know the coolest part? She even ANIMATES LOGOS! WHAT? So cool! The little dancing envelope is adorable.

SO CUTE!

If you're looking for a cover designer or someone to make you a logo, you can find more of Najla's work here.

Billionaires and Big Deals

I'm excited to announce that my debut sweet romance novel, Billionaires and Big Deals, is up for preorder! 
This isn't the business deal either of them planned on. Can Trey and Jess get past their expectations and find the love they both dream of?

Trey Mortensen has a lot of money.

Plus, he’s gorgeous.

But unlike the rest of the women in Magic Valley, Jess Harlowe doesn’t think he’s that big of a deal. And considering the number of bouquets he orders from her flower shop, any man who buys that many flowers must have more relationships than dollars in his bank account.

When Trey is trying to land the business deal of a lifetime, one that requires proof he’s in a lasting relationship, he asks Jess if she’ll fill in the role. Of all the women he associates with, she’s the only one who doesn’t seem to want him. And to a man with women flocking everywhere he goes, that makes her the most refreshing person he knows.

Jess needs the money he’s offering. But she also intends on making it very, very clear she has no plans of letting this business deal be anything except business.

Because love is the biggest deal of all. And it isn’t something she’s about to fall into lightly.

Fans of sweet romance will devour this second chance, fake fiance romance from debut author Catelyn Meadows!
