New Book Deal!
I have some exciting news to share. I just signed a new book deal with Berkley, my publisher. Upcoming will be one more Play by Play book, two new Hope books and the first two books in a new series (I’ll talk more about the new series later). So a lot more books to come in the next couple of years!
In addition to the new contracted books mentioned above, we also have Don’t Let Go, Book 6 of the Hope series, releasing in July, and Rules of Contact, Book 12 of the Play by Play series, releasing in December of this year. Plus the Mistletoe Games anthology coming up in October which will contain all three of the Play by Play holiday novellas in print which were previously released in digital format only.
I’m very excited about the new books and hope you are as well! As always, thank you for being a part of my world. I couldn’t do this without you.

MAKE ME STAY, Book 5 of the Hope series, releases December 1st! How about an ARC giveaway?
Having left his hometown of Hope years ago, only one thing could persuade architect Reid McCormack to come home for a lengthy stay—the challenge of renovating a historic building. But once the job is finished, he’ll be headed back to Boston, no matter how much he’s drawn to beautiful florist Samantha Reasor.
Samantha watches over her elderly grandmother and pours a piece of herself into every floral creation she designs. Her crush on Reid has been blooming for a while now, but she’s reluctant to act on it. A temporary fling isn’t what she’s looking for, even if Reid is smoking hot and super sexy. She wants a real, permanent, forever kind of love.
Two people with different goals couldn’t possibly work, and yet as their attraction grows into something deeper, maybe falling in love is the one thing Samantha and Reid can build a future on.
To enter to win a print ARC, leave a comment. I’ll draw winners on Wednesday.
Winners will have 3 days to claim heir prize or new winners will be chosen.
Rules:
Must be 18 years of age or older.
Contest is open to international entries.

Love After All Is Now Available!
LOVE AFTER ALL, Book 4 in the Hope series, has been released! It’s available in both print and ebook, at your favorite book retailer, or online.
In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Hope Burns, a woman discovers that the man she least expects is exactly what she needs…
High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has the perfect plan. She’s tired of dating all the wrong men, and after years of frustration, she’s developed a foolproof list of requirements for finding “The One”.
Bar owner Sebastian “Bash” Palmer finds Chelsea beautiful, smart and fun, but he thinks her list is ridiculous and unnecessary. Intent on proving Chelsea is looking for love in all the wrong ways, he offers to help her find the “perfect” man.
Chelsea knows Bash isn’t the right guy for her—he barely meets one of her criteria—but there’s something about the charismatic man that has her yearning for things that are most definitely not list approved.
Because sometimes, a relationship that looks totally wrong on paper can turn out incredibly right…
