New Cover Reveal for PEAK

It's always a joy to share a new cover and this one is a beauty! Most of you know me as a historical romance author, but I do occasionally write contemporary romance. This one is super special - a story I've wanted to write for a long time.

I've read a ton of romance novels and the ones that have male TWIN leads have always been a favorite. I was determined to write one.

Paul Charbonneau and David Charbonneau. Both successful. Both at a turning point in life. They haven't spoken in eight years.

PEAK - Supermodel Paul Charbonneau is finishing his runway career and ready for a new challenge. That challenge is his complicated relationship with Everest climber, Claire Allen, and her quest to climb to the peak again.

PINNACLE - Super financier David Charbonneau has just had a major financial loss for his company and is out of a job. His ex-girlfriend shows up at his door and drops off his twin daughters. What else can go wrong? The loss of his executive assistant - a constant in his life; a new nanny for the girls - a constant irritant; and an offer too good to refuse from Lady Walter-Phillips.

So, Peak is with my editor. I don't have a release date yet but I think May-ish. I'm still writing Pinnacle. Hope you love them! Oh, and do tell me what you think of the cover. Dar Albert did another bang-up job!!!!!

Wicked Affairs, Book Six: Wicked Siren Cover Reveal

Have I said this before? I love release day.

Wicked Siren, the story of Alex Preston and opera singer Viviana Love, is the sixth (can you believe it?) story in the Wicked Affairs series and will release on July 10th!

If you read Wicked Lord (#3) you probably saw the writing on the wall… Alex and Viv were destined to be together. They are true opposites – he a country gentleman and she a vivacious opera singer who thrives in London.

As a character, Viv was a fun one to write. She’s not like the other women of the Wicked Affairs series. She has scraped and fought for what she has but, seeing the twilight of her singing career, Viv must make some hard decisions.

For a Regency historical reference, the opera singer Angelica Catalani from Italy had an unrivaled career in the opera for seven years. Her singing range was nearly three octaves. While I didn’t write Viviana with the same sort of star power, she does have moments of fame.

And true hero that he is, Alex is the only man who can accept Viv as she is and recognize the torment that has haunted her past.

And you are the first to see the awesome new cover. What do you think? It is a great addition to the Wicked Affairs covers.

Blurb:

An unconventional woman. An inconvenient marriage. An unconditional love.

Famed diva Viviana Love will do what it takes to survive in London. Seduce titled men. Give up her child in order that he might have a better life. Hide her past so that she might have a future.

And when she makes the mistake of a lifetime a second time, she does the unthinkable and agrees to marry Baron Alexander Preston—the staid and proper country gentleman who believes life in the country is all a man needs.

Alex is confounded by the wild creature he is to escort to London. Miss Love is an indiscreet harridan who believes she can seduce him. And she succeeds royally. When she presents him with the opportunity for his heir, he does what no sane man would. He marries Viviana and finds his life turned upside down.

Alex has never felt more alive. Their nights are filled with passion, their days with conflict. When Viviana realizes she might lose her proper gentleman, the truth is the only thing that can save her.

All books in the series are stand alone but introduction of characters are best understood by reading the books in order.

Books One - Three are on sale at all the usual retail outlets.

Cover Reveal: Lessons in Mountain Climbing

Here it is! The cover for Lessons in Mountain Climbing, Book 1 in the Far From Home series. As always, Reese Dante does a fabulous job illustrating my vision of the story.

Here's the cover and the blurb!

I've already mentioned that this story is a contemporary romance, sexy but not erotica.

Industrialist billionaire recluse Rane Kirk has all he wants—his plants and his privacy. That doesn’t mean the media is willing to leave the Titan of Telluride alone—not when his past is shrouded in mystery and not when one particular journalist has something to prove.

As a young girl, Kinzey Vance first met Rane. She’s never forgotten him. She’s also never lived down her perceived failure as one of the Kirk Enterprise Grant’s original scholarship recipients. She had planned to change the world, only life got in the way.

As an adopted orphan herself, she feels particularly responsible for her siblings, and gives up her dream, in order to care for them after the death of their mother. Years later and back in Colorado, Kinzey finally has something she must share with the elusive Rane Kirk.

Climbing the mountain to Kirk’s compound, Kinzey is more determined than ever to tell her story. And to learn the truth of his. She doesn’t know Kirk has never forgotten her and the moment she lands in his koi pond, their stars don’t realign; they collide.
