The Bachelor’s Baby is *F*R*E*E*
Great news! The Bachelor’s Baby is free from Feb 26 – Mar 9!
If you love a bachelor auction that turns into a date that turns into a consequence, you’ll love this. Meg is only home to visit family before she heads back to her city life.

The Bachelor’s Baby can be read as a stand-alone, but is #3 in my Love in Montana series.
And this is your friendly reminder that if you’ve read this one and loved it (and love grumpy men with babies) try Marrying the Nanny. It’s the same but different.

I had one job: get the groom to the wedding…
I failed.
I’m still hungover from the bachelor party when I arrive in Oahu and ruin Ashley’s life. She was expecting to marry my best mate, but on the way to the airport, he confessed he didn’t want to marry her. They only knew each other three months, but Ashley is devastated.
Now we’re stuck with her family and the groom’s parents—who’ve always treated me like a son. I’d love to abandon ship, but Ashley needs a friend and that’s what I am. It’s the only thing I can be.
But as we spend the week together, and she realizes she was more in love with a wedding and moving to Sydney than she was with her groom, things change between us. Falling for my best friend’s bride will sink more than a friendship. We’re partners in a surf shop on the brink of expansion. Am I headed for a wipeout? Or the longest, most perfect ride of my life?

Sweet with Heat – aka *just right*
You’ll want to browse the offerings in this one.
The organizer called it Hallmark After Dark, meaning the books are not super-smutty or ultra-chaste, but somewhere in the middle, which I feel is very much my lane.
If you like contemporary romance that is sweet in tone but still has some spice (aka open door nookie) click on the image or the button below.

My 60th Harlequin is here!
Can you believe it? His Highness’s Hidden Heir is my 60th Harlequin title. (I’m running at about 90 books overall, and yes, it boggles my mind, too!)
This one is my secret royal baby with a child actress and a viking prince and it’s one of my faves! Here’s Lexi’s first glimpse of Magnus:
Excerpt:
Lexi followed her gaze and watched all the people in their tuxedos and evening gowns, designer shoes and sparkling jewels, step toward the wall. Some bowed their heads.
She heard someone murmur, “Your Highness,” right before a man—an absolute Viking—appeared.
He was tall, six four at least. He led his entourage like an invading party, ignoring everyone as he marched toward the ballroom, head high with his right to cut the line.
Maybe Lexi was supposed to lower her gaze, too, but she was too dazzled.
He wore a gorgeous tuxedo with a white jacket that hugged his broad shoulders. A sash of midnight blue was tucked beneath it, running diagonally from his left shoulder to his right hip where the silk protruded. It was pinned with a silver emblem shaped like a starburst. A row of medals sat in a line above his pocket square and a crest of some kind was embroidered on the pocket.
His dark blond hair was combed back from his forehead, revealing the rugged bone structure of his brow and cheeks and jaw. His nose was hawkish, his mouth wide and accentuated by his closely trimmed bronze beard.
All of that was mesmerizing enough, but his eyes. They were such a vivid blue, they made her shiver as his gaze slammed into hers while he approached.
He turned his head as he passed her, holding her gaze an extra second, never missing a step in his long, ground-eating stride.
Then she was staring at the pewter wolf’s head that secured his long hair at his nape.
He melted into the crowded ballroom, taking all his dynamic energy with him, leaving a wake of rippling voices.
Hot, right?
Here’s the official blurb:
A shotgun wedding…
at the palace altar!
Former wild-child actress Lexi’s mission to reclaim her career at a gala is thwarted when she’s found by her stalker. Sending her straight into the protective arms of irresistible Prince Magnus! They succumb to a single night of scalding pleasure…
When a positive pregnancy test changes Lexi’s plans, she knows Magnus can’t be tied to her scandalous reputation, however safe he made her feel. But after Magnus discovers her secret, his coldly pragmatic solution blindsides her. And newlywed princess Lexi is left wondering if her royal husband even remembers their explosive encounter…
