Win your own Neighborly Affection beginner’s kit
I’m not usually the jealous type, but I’m having some serious envy pangs looking at this prize pack.
The magical marketing fairies at Kensington put together a giveaway bundle to celebrate the March 1 release of Finding Their Balance (Neighborly Affection #5). They’ve done a pretty brilliant job. Here’s a snapshot of what they’ve put together:
All this can be yours! Enter the Neighborly Affection prize pack giveaway before March 26.

Win a copy of Finding Their Balance (Neighborly Affection #5)
It’s 2016, and we’re finally within pouncing distance of Finding Their Balance (Neighborly Affection #5)! I am absolutely thrilled to share this new Henry, Alice, and Jay adventure with you. A whole bunch of plot points that have been bubbling under the surface in the earlier books are about to spill over in this one.
Finding Their Balance will be in e-formats everywhere on March 1 — less than two months away! (And, as Neighborly Affection reader Issa (hi, Issa!) recently reminded me on Faceb...

Jump into Henry, Alice, and Jay’s world for 99 cents
New years are perfect times for new beginnings. (I’m beginning to remember I meant to exercise more in 2015. Better luck this year?)
If you haven’t started reading the Neighborly Affection series yet — yes, I know, my to-read list is long and unwieldy, too — January is the month to snap up Playing the Game (Neighborly Affection Book 1). And if you have read it, now’s the time to nudge a friend into trying the trio’s world. Henry, Alice, and Jay are 99 cents all month long.

Her Shirtless Gentleman is half off for the holidays
In the giving spirit of the holidays, Her Shirtless Gentleman is half off all through December.
… it’s the top half.
No, I can’t resist a shirtless joke. I giggle like a madwoman at terrible jokes and puns. It’s a wonder my family puts up with me.
Ahem. So, the actual news: Yes, Rob and Nora are on sale for $1.99 until the end of the year. The Gentleman series books are standalones — you won’t be left hanging at the end, I promise. There might even be a Christmas celebration in there that’s p...

Becoming His Master: Now in paperback
Check it out — my publisher sent me a box full of Henry and Jay. If only the guys could step out from under the covers, my life would be complete! ;-)
It’s been a long wait since the digital release of Becoming His Master (Neighborly Affection #4) in March, but the paperbacks will finally hit bookstore shelves in November.
Look for Henry and Jay in Books-A-Million stores first. They’ll be a BAM exclusive until February, but after that you can pick up Becoming His Master from any bookseller. I...

Meet Rob and Nora (Her Shirtless Gentleman inspiration, excerpts, reviews, and giveaway)
Some days I thought August would never arrive! Her Shirtless Gentleman is finally going out into the world, and I hope you’ll have a grand time with Rob and Nora.
They’re a steady and playful, sexy and tender, flawed and striving pair, because those are the kind of people I find most interesting: Good people who are trying. And while Rob and Nora (and the Gentleman series in general) move in a very different world from the one Henry, Alice, and Jay inhabit in the Neighborly Affection books, t...

Her Shirtless Gentleman on NetGalley for reviewers
Heads up, contemporary erotic romance readers with NetGalley accounts: You can get a review copy of Her Shirtless Gentleman right now and enjoy reading it two months before anyone else.
Her Shirtless Gentleman, releasing August 4, is the first book in a new series for me. Every book in the series will be a stand alone story. Rob and Nora are up first — Rob’s sure he’s found the one, but Nora’s gun-shy after leaving a bad marriage. He’ll have to convince her to take a chance on him.
Blogger-re...

Win a copy of Her Shirtless Gentleman
Her Shirtless Gentleman is the first book in a new series for me. Also new for me— it’s a self-contained stand alone story. No previous knowledge required and no cliffhangers! Rob and Nora go from first meeting to HEA between the covers.
Kensington/Lyrical, my publisher, is giving away two copies to readers on Goodreads. If you have a Goodreads account, click here and enter the giveaway before June 30.
Here’s what Her Shirtless Gentleman is all about:
Her heart is in his hands…

Start the Neighborly Affection series for 99 cents
I’ll get to the sale links in a minute, but let’s start with a note for those who’ve already read Playing the Game (Neighborly Affection #1). If you aren’t a newsletter subscriber yet, you’ll want to jump on before this month’s newsletter comes out on May 15.
Why?
Because this month’s installment of Tuesdays with Jay answers the question of where Jay went on the night he didn’t spend with Henry and Alice — and unlike the typical 1,000-word flash fiction, Tuesdays with Jay #11: Woman Trouble i...

If you’re in the south-central Pennsylvania area, you can meet two handfuls of romance authors during A Day of Romance on Saturday, April 25, at The York Emporium.
The authors cover the spectrum from contemporary romance to historical in paranormal, Western, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, LGBT, erotic, women’s fiction and more.
