Cover Reveal – Bound by Their Nine-Month Scandal
Have you seen the UK cover for Bound by Their Nine-Month Scandal? Me neither, lol! I’ve been head-down writing and missed it appearing online. Thankfully my wonderful website team at Wax Creative (a most grateful and celebratory shout-out to Judyth) found it and today, so did I.
In Bound by Their Nine-Month Scandal, Pia is about to do her duty by her family and succumb to an arranged marriage when a stranger at a masked ball intrigues her. They wind up seizing the moment by seizing each other and go back to their separate lives fully satisfied.
Pia soon realizes there’s a teensy consequence resulting from their impulse and, oh right. She doesn’t have a clue who the father is.
Fun fact: this one will also be my first audio book!

Exciting News About Audio
I’m thrilled to share with you that my first audio book will release this fall!
Bound by Their Nine-Month Scandal starts at a masked ball. Introverted Pia is committed to saving the family name by allowing her mother to arrange her a marriage, but she wants one night of freedom. She allows herself to be swept into passion with a stranger.
She soon discovers she’s pregnant, but she didn’t see her lover’s face, didn’t catch his name, and suspects he wasn’t even invited. When she does uncover the identity of this Spanish tech tycoon, she learns Angelo has a scandalous reputation and may have burgled her brother’s home!
Can their convenient marriage work when he’s such an unsuitable man?

Celebrate Canada Day with my Canadian Heroines!
Happy Canada Day!
Did you know that my heroine in The Maid’s Spanish Secret is Canadian? Her name, Poppy, was suggested by my daughter who also happens to be Canadian. And guess what? You can download The Maid’s Spanish Secret today from Harlequin.com–and yes, it’s a Canadian company. *wink!*
Poppy was earning her airfare home from Spain by working as a maid in Rico’s mother’s house–and had a terrible crush on him. The day she was leaving, his engagement fell apart. They had a fling, but by the time she got home and realized she was pregnant, he had unexpectedly reconciled with his fiancee.
Two years later, Rico’s wife has died and he has learned the the baby she carried wasn’t his. The only news to break through his veneer of bitterness is that he has a child after all. He flies to Canada to claim her–along with the woman he has never been able to forget!
The Maid’s Spanish Secret releases on all digital platforms on August 1st, but you can get it right now from:
Harlequin
or
Mills & Boon UK
Pre-Order links for other platforms are here.
Want more Canadian heroines? Look for:
Natalie in Seduced Into the Greek’s World
Cami in Consequence of His Revenge
Lauren in Proof of Their Sin

Get swept into the world of the *ultra* rich!
Hurray! Untouched Until Her Ultra-Rich Husband is here!
When billionaire Gabriel inherits his grandmother’s fortune, he becomes the world’s first trillionaire, never expecting her assets to include penniless, ex-beauty queen turned hacker Luli. After years of being sheltered in a Singapore mansion, Luli wants the freedom to run her own life, but the quickest way to get that is to tie herself to Gabriel in a marriage of convenience. Can she trust him to let her go when the time comes? Will she want him to when their chemistry is off the charts?
I was thrilled to see this one get the *HJ Recommends* banner over at Harlequin Junkie where they said:
“Strong characters and unique circumstances make for a thoroughly enjoyable romance!”
You can find this one in print at your favourite bookseller or online at any of your favourite platforms.

Try a Baby Swap for Free!
Fun news! The second book in my Wrong Heirs duet, The Consequence He Must Claim is free until Dec 2019 when you sign up for a subscription at TryHarlequin.com.
This is one of my favorite books. I love that Cesar has amnesia and doesn’t even remember making love to Sorcha, let alone getting her pregnant. He learns he has a child when the baby swap happens and a nurse calls to request he take a blood test. Here’s Cesar’s reaction:
“Are you telling me you want me to provide a sample for a paternity test?” he asked in disbelief.
“Please don’t mistake me. We have no reason to doubt Sorcha Kelly’s identification of you as the father. The issue is whether she is the mother of the baby she is currently nursing. As you can imagine, we’re anxious to have this cleared up.”
He couldn’t speak. It took him a long moment to realize he wasn’t thinking any thoughts. His mind was completely blank.
The Consequence He Must Claim will be your gateway into a few more books. The first half of the baby swap is The Marriage He Must Keep where you’ll get all the juicy details on how and why the baby swap happens.
Then, later this year, look for Cesar’s siblings to each find their soul mate:
In The Maid’s Spanish Secret, Cesar’s brother Rico discovers Poppy went back to Canada with a consequence of her own after their brief affair.
In Bound by Their Nine-Month Scandal, Cesar’s sister Pia has a scandalous encounter with a stranger at a masked ball and soon discovers such impulsive behaviours also have consequences…
Happy reading!
