Release News Excitement! All Fired Up is Almost Here…

ALL FIRED UP, the second in my Hot in the Kitchen series, is almost here! This story is about Cara DeLuca, a recovering anorectic and Shane Doyle, a sexy Irish pastry chef with a whopping big secret.

They’re both so broken and resistant to the possibilities of love, so when they marry on a drunken whim in Vegas, the fireworks promise to be epic . . .
