Deal Alert & Contest!!

Confessions of A Ro#14B6A95


Completely out of the blue, Amazon and Barnes & Noble have put CONFESSIONS OF A ROYAL BRIDEGROOM, the second book in my bestselling Renegade Royals Series, on sale for only 99 cents in digital. Wow! I have to confess that I love this book. The hero, Griffin Steele, is a classic bad boy who meets his match in prim, determined spinster Justine Brightmore. I’ve always thought that Griffin is very swoon-worthy, and readers seem to agree!


If you haven’t read CONFESSIONS, now’s you chance. Download...

Huzzah! Today is release day for MEET ME AT THE BEACH, my VK Sykes contemporary romance that I wrote with my hubby.

Regency Thunderdome!!

Screen Shot 2015-02-15 at 2.13.52 PM


Kensington Publishing is running a fun #Ultimate Heroes competition on their website and Tumblr page. My book, CONFESSIONS OF A ROYAL BRIDEGROOM, is pitted against Theresa Romain’s SEASON FOR SURRENDER. Since Theresa and I are good pals and love each other’s books, we’ve decided to engage in an epically lame battle of Regency-themed trash talk.
