This Hot in Chicago prequel novella kicks off the saga of the Dempseys, my lovable firefighting foster siblings. A sexy Latino firefighter reunites with his old flame, a spirited heiress-turned-tattoo-artist. Cuddle up by the fire and discover why nothing ignites holiday flames like rekindling a lost love…
Here’s what reviewers are saying about Beck and Darcy in REKINDLE THE FLAME:
“The heat, the sweet and the funny, this story had it all!”
—Jamie’s Fiction Fangirls
“… easy on the angst, heavy on the romance, with just enough steam added to the mix to have you reading it in one deliciously fabulous sitting.”
—Dirty Girl Romance
Previously available as part of the BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE anthology, it can now be downloaded separately for $1.99 at all digital outlets. Follow the Dempseys from the first fiery kiss!

Even the Score, my sexy Brazen, is now live – only $1.99 + Giveaway
Greetings, everyone! EVEN THE SCORE, the first in my Tall, Dark, and Texan series from Entangled Brazen is now live. Even better, it’s only $1.99 for a limited time! How awesome is that?
He’ll make her an offer she can’t refuse…
Actress Tess McKenzie is performing in the Tenth Circle of Showbiz Hell—dinner theater. All she really wants is to start a theater of her own. Then Tess receives an offer she can’t refuse. She’ll get her funding…if she pretends to be the fiancée to her nemesis, Texan property tycoon Hunter Dade. If she’s going to pull this off, she’ll need all the luck she can get. Break a leg, indeed.
On the verge of a big business deal, Hunter needs to hire a fiancée. He hasn’t quite forgiven Tess for ruining his wedding, but when their chemistry goes from combative to straight-up lust, the “no sex” clause in their mutually beneficial arrangement is tested. Which is a serious problem, because if Tess isn’t careful, she’ll go from breaking a leg to breaking her heart…
I’m also running a release week giveaway for a $25 Amazon or iTunes card.
So grab your copy and good luck in the giveaway!
