The holidays are coming!
So many new releases from some of my favorite authors. I just picked up the latest Jill Shalvis Heartbreaker Bay book. These are fun for me to read, not just because of the hunky heroes, but because San Francisco is not far from me and one of my favorite cities.
Lots of sales coming up, too, for both me and my author friends. Look for my only Christmas romance, Crazy for You: Christmas in Starlight Hill, to be FREE for the first time ever, this December.

How can you find out exactly when? Follow me here, on Amazon, join my super reader group on FB, and/or subscribe to my newsletter for a heads-up on deals.
I have a holiday release too, but alas, it's not a holiday book! It just so happens that RELUCTANT HOMETOWN HERO, the second in the Wildfire Ridge series, releases on December 17th in print.

Look for it in stores everywhere, and in digital format on January 1, 2020! When I receive my early author copies, I will be having a few giveaways.
What books am I excited to read? In addition to Jill's, I can't wait to read RaeAnne Thayne's Coming Home for Christmas. I'm also making my way through all of Robyn Carr's wonderful Virgin River books. I've finished the first two so far, and what a joy to know I have that many ahead of me in this wonderful series. Like so many, I want to move to Virgin River!
Hope you have a great autumn full of reading!

More than One Night teaser
Here's a teaser from more More than One Night. There's a giveaway going on right now for 10 signed print books. Ends 10/21.
He glanced at her cot. “That going to fit two?”
“Only if I sleep on top of you.”
It was a small bed. He was a big man. Allowances would have to be made. Sacrifices even.
“You’ve got yourself a deal.” His mouth grazed her jawline and lowered to her neck, causing ripples of pleasure and anticipation.
He rubbed her lower lip with his finger before he finally bent to cover her mouth with his.
Her hands fisted in his shirt because his kiss made her knees weak. His tongue tangled with hers, probing, seeking, teasing. He tasted like minty toothpaste and whiskey. So hot. The kiss got wild and out of control within seconds. When he broke the kiss, his eyes were hooded. He studied her for one long moment from underneath those long lashes.
She stared too, because she couldn’t believe this was happening again. “We have this…amazing chemistry,” she said, a little dumbfounded. A little weak.
His only comment was to haul her up against his body until they were plastered against each other in a lip-lock. Hips to hips. Heart to heart. The only way this could be any better was with no clothes between them.
As if he read her mind, Sam tore off his shirt and threw it to the side. She did the same, leaving on her red demi push-up bra. Some said redheads should never wear red. Jill liked to test some boundaries, too, she supposed. Lingerie boundaries.

Reluctant Hometown Hero teaser
Wildfire Ridge book #2 is coming soon! December 17th to be exact, in stores everywhere.
In this scene, Zoey's Great Dane, Boo, has just been kidnapped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Whoever has him won’t want to bring him back once they realize what a wonderful and well-behaved dog he is.”
“Did his collar have any information on it?”
“It had the store’s phone number.”
“Anything else?” He took another breath. “Like, maybe offering a reward?”
“No, but he’s chipped in case he gets brought into a shelter. I should have thought of adding a reward. People are so greedy sometimes.” Her voice lowered. “Why are you calling me right now? You sound…busy.”
“What do you mean?”
“You sound a little out of breath and…um, maybe you should get back to it.”
Huh? It took him a minute to realize Zoey thought he’d called her right after he’d had sex, and he laughed out loud. Everyone in this town thought he had far more game than he did.
He tried not to snort. “I went for a run.”
“Oh, sorry. I just thought you sounded like…like…”
“Like I just had sex?”
Dead silence on the other end of the line. He could almost hear her pets’ breathing.
After a moment, she finally spoke. “I didn’t mean…what I meant was that you…”
“Just so you know, right after I have sex the only thing I’m thinking about is more sex. There could be a nuclear attack and I’d still be thinking about sex.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to imply you’d have sex with someone and then call me. Why would you be thinking about me and sex at the same time?”
If it was possible for a voice to blush, Zoey’s just had.
“What I mean is…oh my god…I just realized it’s still Monday.”
