New Cover Release - Pinnacle

Coronavirus has given me something I haven't had for a while: Abundant Writing Time!

The first book in the two-part "Charbonneau Twins" stories is about thirty-days from edit completion. I'm having two rounds down because it is so long - a little over 85,000 words. Just a reminder it is a contemporary romance. The first story is Peak - about superstar model Paul Charbonneau finishing up his runway career (don't worry, he'll still be doing magazine covers and men's clothing lines!). The cover for peak was published on my last post.

BUT, here is the book cover for the second in the series - Pinnacle. Financier David Charbonneau is at the crossroads of life. His ex drops off his twin daughters, he's just lost millions for his firm and is starting a new job that has turned into an albatross. And he's lost his closest friend, his administrative assistant and financial whiz who rivals his own abilities. But Veronica has her own ambitions and it isn't to work forever in the staid world of finance.

Vero has loved him for a very long time but with her own success within reach and at the cusp of realizing her dream, she must steel herself against David's charms pulling her back into his world. He has come to the painful realization that Veronica has been more than a friend all along. But now, for the first time in his charmed life, he can't interfere. He can't tell her that he loves her for fear he'd be the person to get in her way. And he can never do that to Veronica, not when she is so close.

Coming soon.

Coming in July!

Wicked Indiscretions

It's here: Book Five in the Wicked Affairs series. Release day is February 18th!

Marriage is fraught with emotion and I love writing about this bond. This is Book Five in the Wicked Affairs series and in it, we meet David and Juliana Abernathy. David is the strong, silent type and a reluctant marquess, titled after his brother died. He is married to the beautiful Juliana (sister to Clarissa Dunnaway from Wicked Desires and sister to Audrina Paquin that you met in Wicked Secrets) Juliana is vivacious and chatty, the perfect foil to David's seriousness. And his dogs love her.

They are madly in love and welcome their first child - only he dies in his infancy. David and Juliana are heartbroken and grief destroys their loving relationship.

Grief is a dark, debilitating emotion and has many facets, affecting one physically, socially and spiritually. It tears David and Juliana apart. This might be the most moving story I've written.

So here's the blurb:

David and Juliana Abernathy’s marriage is unique in the ton—they have real love. That is, until the loss of their only child shatters their short-lived happiness. Despair and anger drives David into the arms of countless paramours and Juliana into the arms of a notorious Italian Lothario.

When David realizes what he has lost, he arrives in Italy with one goal and snatches his wife from the bed of her lover, intending to bring her home. Could their situation be worse?

They are no longer the innocent, loving fools of their first year of marriage and they demonstrate that each night they are alone together. Beneath the hurt and betrayal, they can hide their love but their passion burns hotter than ever.

David Gandy Genetic Perfection

David is one of my favorite topics - not in the obsessive I have to have him way but in a WOW I can't take my eyes off him way. Do you feel the same? If I look at his features one at a time, I'm not overly impassioned - it just when those features are all on one face, with those blue eyes staring back at me and that brow lowered in dark contemplation that I get all...


You know. I'm a writer and I can't think of the right word. Let's just call it tingly. I wonder if I would go all stupid if I actually met him?


If you haven't had a chance, you ought to visit his blog. He writes amazingly personal accounts of his life especially as it pertains to modeling and his other passions like animals and cars. Here's the link:  http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/david-gandy/


And no blog about David is complete without a few yummy photos:
