Happy New Year

Jan 1, 2019

Happy New Year!
My wish for 2019 is that each of you have more moments that make you smile. More “fluffy towels fresh from the dryer” moments. More “no alarm clock tomorrow so stay up all night reading” moments. More “fuzzy socks and hot cocoa” moments. More “perfect sunset” moments, and more “first snowfall” moments.
May your year be filled with these moments and so many more. <3
Warm wishes and happy reading,
Viv




The Rogue to Ruin cover!

Dec 6, 2018

Behold, the new cover for THE ROGUE TO RUIN (Ainsley & Reed’s story)!

I just love the colors. And that dress… I NEED that dress!  I mean, you just never know when you’ll need to drape yourself across a silk-covered chaise lounge, right? 🙂

The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Never fall in love with a client, which shouldn’t be a problem when one’s faking an engagement to the rogue across the street . . .

Ainsley Bourne needs the family business to succeed. But one obstacle stands in her way—Reed Sterling, the huge, handsome, former prize fighter and owner of the gaming hell across the street. His scandalous customers scare off all her marriage-minded patrons and since the devilish brute has no intention of relocating, she sets out to ruin his unsavory establishment. Yet when a vile suitor from her past reappears, Ainsley hastily claims an attachment to the first man who comes to mind . . . Mr. Sterling, to be exact.

Reed doesn’t know who is more surprised by Miss Bourne’s declaration. She clearly hates him, and he’d never admit their arguments simmer with unrequited attraction. Something about the pleading look in her eyes calls to Reed, and against his better judgment, he quickly plays the part of the besotted fiancé.

Pretending to be in love requires a convincing charade. But with each tantalizing touch and every scandalous kiss, Ainsley starts to wonder if Reed was ever really the enemy at all.

 

THE ROGUE TO RUIN will be available July 30, 2019

 

Warm wishes and happy reading,

The longest weekend of the year…

Aug 31, 2018

Hundreds of thousands of people are about to descend on my little hamlet for what the locals call “Blueberry Weekend.” The scents of deep fried everything, the hard thumping sounds of carnival rides, and the ripe frenzy of craft fever will fill the air. Basically an introvert’s nightmare.

So why don’t I just lock the doors and pull the shades until Tuesday? Two words: elephant ears.

Yup, those dirty, rotten, no good festival coordinators put elephant ears in the middle of the chaos. *sigh*
Nevertheless, I’m wishing each of you a happy (and delicious) Labor Day Weekend!

The truth about reviews

Aug 6, 2018

It’s never fun for authors to ask for reviews but it’s part of the process. The truth is, reviews give us opportunities to share more books with readers in the future.

So, if you would like to leave an honest review for HOW TO FORGET A DUKE that would be wonderful. <3

Warm wishes and happy reading,

Viv



Another sneak peek – Ten Kisses to Scandal

Aug 1, 2018

The page proofs are off!

I finished the final read-through of TEN KISSES TO SCANDAL and sent the galleys to my editor. This is so exciting! To celebrate, I’m sharing another snippet of Nicholas and Briar’s story (because it’s so hard for me to wait until December).

Warm wishes and happy reading,

Viv

TEN KISSES TO SCANDAL:

“Come away from the door, Briar, and kiss me.”

The sinful timbre of his voice tumbled through her, stealing her breath. Her curiosity reached an anxious simmer, brewing hot and frantic beneath her skin. 

(available this December 💋)
