Be sure to check back soon as I'm working on a proposal set in Montana that will follow the perilous paths of three brothers as each finds their perfect match and uncovers the dark secrets of their past. I can promise danger, twisting plots, cowboys, a princess and a murder or two (or more). I'll post more on this as it develops. In the meantime, here's a head's up: My June release, THE BABY'S BODYGUARD, is linked to A BABY BETWEEN THEM through characters. I know four months is a long time to wait, but rest assured, each book is complete unto itself.

The Baby's Bodyguard
Release June 2010

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD...

But Jack Starling was very much alive and looking for answers. His investigation into his crew's ambush leads him to the fling he had a year ago with Hannah Marks. Although Jack is reluctant to believe Hannah had a role in the attack, it is clear she's hiding something, and Jack's suspicions only mount when he meets her daughter.

Determined to unveil her secrets, he vows to stay close. Then Hannah is nearly killed, and Jack must step in-as her baby's bodyguard-while battling his growing desire for the woman who might have betrayed him.

Released March 10, 2009

It seemed someone was after her and her babies thanks to a past she knew nothing about. And though she knew whoever it was didn't stand a chance against Zac and his protective nature, reminiscing about old times stirred up too many long-buried emotions. Still, Zac assured her everything would be okay, all she had to do was trust him. And she did. With everything but her heart.
