In case you’ve been wondering what HOW TO FORGET A DUKE is about, here is a sneak peek at the back cover blurb:

The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with the client. A simple thing to remember… unless you’re a matchmaker with amnesia.

The Duke of Rydstrom needs a wife. Preferably one with a large fortune and a complete lack of curiosity. The last thing he needs is a meddling matchmaker determined to dig up his dark, family secrets.

All Jacinda wants is to find a bride for a duke. How hard could that be? He’s handsome, enigmatic… and hiding something. She’s sure of it. Determined to discover what it is, she travels to his crumbling cliffside estate. Yet, by the time she washes up on his beach, she can no longer remember who she is, or why the duke is so familiar to her. All she knows is that his kisses are unforgettable—and she intends to use every skill she can to discover what’s in his heart . . .

When Miss Bourne can’t remember what brought her to his ancestral home, Rydstrom intends to keep it that way. Yet as the days pass, his true challenge will be safeguarding his secret while resisting this woman who—confound it all—may well be his perfect match.

Cover reveal coming soon!

Ready for the first teasing glimpse of HOW TO FORGET DUKE?

Cue the stripper music…  

Publisher’s Weekly gave A Christmas to Remember a starred and boxed review!!!

A Christmas to Remember (available 9/26/17)

It’s a hot, sticky, testy day and I need a pick-me-up to help me get back to work. So, instead of tea this afternoon, I’m enjoying a smooth, creamy homemade frozen hot chocolate. 

Want to try one, too? Here’s my recipe:

In a blender, combine:
2 handfuls of ice
1 cup of cold milk
A tablespoon (or two) of Hershey’s chocolate syrup
1 packet of instant hot chocolate (I use Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa)
1 packet of chocolate instant breakfast (I use Carnation)
Blend until smooth. Pour into your favorite mug or glass. Insert straw. Top with whipped cream. Drizzle with more chocolate syrup because, hey, you’re worth it. Enjoy! 

I’m back from RWA!

What an amazing week! I had a spectacular time and met so many wonderful readers and talented authors. <3 And Orlando was lovely, too.

Though it’s good to be home, back to the familiar creaks and groans of my house, back to my favorite tea mug, and back to my writing cave.

But first, I have some exciting news!

HEA USA Today posted an exclusive sneak peek of JUST ANOTHER VISCOUNT IN LOVE!

And since I’m TERRIBLE at waiting, here is a super quick teaser for Just Another Viscount in Love <3

“You should not mention that you saw me en déshabillé.”

“Of course, you are right,” he said, all seriousness, his thumbs moving over the crests of her shoulders in slow, hypnotizing sweeps. “I will not speak of it but only think of it fondly.”
