Mountain Mistletoe Christmas!

I stumbled across the GORGEOUS cover for the second book in my Second Chance Club miniseries. These are the stories of the women of the Second Chance Dinner Club–women who’ve all experienced painful divorces, and who support each other as they find new love and happiness again.

On a personal note, I love these stories! The heroines are 40-ish, their lives are complicated, and the love they find the second time around is toe-curling and worth the wait!

I hope you’ll fall in love all over again right along with single mom, Jen Taylor, new owner of an old mansion that just needs a little renovation to become a stunning art gallery. And she needs it liveable by Christmas.

Nick Bryant is her contractor, and he’s incredibly skilled. But her focus has to be on her son, and while she’s ready to take a few chances as she puts her new life together, she isn’t willing to risk her heart…

But there is something about the Christmas season, isn’t there?

Can the magic of the season…

Bring opposites together?

Don’t change for a relationship. That’s contractor Nick Bryant’s motto. But when single mom Jen Taylor hires him to renovate her old mansion, he wants to impress her. Nick knows Jen’s focus is her son, and she’ll never want a man who wields a hammer instead of a Harvard degree. But as they prepare her home for Christmas, he can’t help wishing for a moment under the mistletoe!

 

This book hits the virtual shelves October 2020!

If you haven’t picked up a copy of HER TRIPLETS’ MISTLETOE DAD, now is a GREAT time to pick it up! It’s one of my very favourites that I’ve written… including:

–triplets

–a brooding cowboy

–a marriage of convenience between best friends

–Christmas on a ranch!

With Christmas getting closer, it’s a great time to curl up with a holiday read, isn’t it?

Can a marriage of convenience…

…really last a lifetime?

Single mom Gabby Rogers needs help raising her newborn triplets, so when her best friend, Seth, proposes a marriage of convenience, she cautiously agrees—on the condition it doesn’t ruin their friendship. As far as the town of Eagle’s Rest knows, Gabby and Seth are the perfect couple, but the imaginary romance soon feels surprisingly real. With the triplets’ first Christmas drawing closer, will Gabby risk showing Seth how she truly feels?

Available now!

 

 

 

 

 

I’m Very Married

That I’m married!

I saw this writing prompt, and it made me laugh, because I know what they were aiming at–a list of advice for keeping you happy, for understanding your moods… But that wasn’t what popped into my mind.

Now, don’t get me wrong–I don’t get hit on by people other than my husband very often, but when it does happen, I ticks me off. (And there have been a couple of recent ones that primed the pump for this post! LOL!)

I’m the kind of woman who gets offended when people, who know I’m married, hit on me. I don’t like it! I wear a very obvious wedding ring, and when I took my vows to my husband, I meant them. If you’re hitting on me, you’re disrespecting my marriage, my decisions for my life, my husband, and… I don’t know, I’m sure a whole list of other things. You’re disrespecting ME!

Whens someone hits on me, they’re hoping to break up the life I’ve worked nearly fifteen years to build! They might not want me to leave my husband (some people just want something on the side), but they want me to risk my marriage and my home. They want me to betray the man I love, and offer my body in exchange for… the ecstasies they figure they can provide without fifteen years of practice? Dream on. So what advice would I give to someone falling in love with me?

That I’m very, very married. 😉

In Her Triplets’ Mistletoe Dad, Gabby only finds out that her boyfriend is married after she discovers she’s pregnant… and she’s both heartbroken and furious. She had no intention of being the other woman in someone else’s marriage, and she goes home to raise her boys alone. Except, she need more help than she anticipates… and her old friend Seth isn’t about to let her struggle alone.

But what makes for a lasting marriage? Is it just a promise, or something more that makes keeping that promise possible?

I do hope you’ll pick up a copy of this one! It’s one of my favourites!

I’m in a Christmas mood

I’m a Christmas person. I just love the holidays! In Canada, our Thanksgiving comes in October, so once Halloween is past, we’re good to go for Christmas!

This year, I put off putting up the tree until we were about a week into November, but then I couldn’t hold my 9-year-old back any longer, and we put up all our decorations. Since we have snow outside already, it just feels appropriate.

I’m also one of those really early Christmas shoppers, because I like to get my shopping done without pressure. I also have gifts to mail to my parents, so I need to be timely if I’m going to get everything to the post office on time.

IMG_3589

That’s why I picked up this year’s wrapping paper already–and I really like it! These Christmas trappings just make me happy. I enjoy this time of year–the run up to Christmas! I don’t let it get stressful because we stick to a budget and make time for the things that matter to us most–cookies, Christmas movies, carols playing in the background… The good stuff.

Anyone else enjoy the Christmas preamble? Or does it all just stress you out? 

(I do have two Christmas novels coming out this month and December! So I thought I’d leave a couple of links for you…)

If you’ve read THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS BRIDE, then you’ll remember how Andy’s mother used to hang the mistletoe in new places around the house to surprise her husband and sons with a kiss when they happened underneath it.

When I wrote that, I loved the idea so much, that I told myself I HAD to get some mistletoe this year… Most of my best ideas come from fiction first–either my own or someone else’s book. So I trotted down to the dollar store and found some mistletoe. They had gold, silver and white, and I chose the white because I thought the gold and silver would flake off too easily… but I hadn’t actually thought through where I’d hang it.

Turns out, it blends into my ceiling… but that might help with the camouflage so I can leap out and kiss my long-suffering husband. Luckily, he has a strong heart and patience like a saint. I do solemnly promise to only kiss immediate family, though, so no one needs to be nervous. 😉

If you haven’t read THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS BRIDE, I think you’ll like it! It’s in stores now! You can also find it on Amazon and the Harlequin site… and pretty much anywhere else you buy books.

But the community can’t forgive him for selling out. And Dakota Mason, the beautiful cowgirl he hired, has every reason to hate him…

Ranching is in Dakota’s blood. And now the developers have cut off water her neighboring ranch desperately needs. She’s only on the ride for a paycheck—not to turn her back on her community. And definitely not to fall for some overly protective urban cowboy. But Andy may surprise everyone…including himself.

I just got my cover for The Cowboy’s Christmas Bride, so I thought I’d share it with you! This book hits the shelves November 2016.

Inappropriate seasonal thoughts

I’ve been thinking Christmas thoughts… I know, I know, summer has barely begun, but I’ve caught myself humming Christmas carols already. I’m obnoxiously rubbing off on Mr. Johns, too, who has also started humming Christmas carols. They’re like yawns–one person starts and there is no stopping the chain reaction.

I remember being about ten (and apparently very bored one summer) because I decided to put together a puppet concert entitled “Christmas in July.” So it looks like this is not a new development in my character–it goes way back! 😉

So the other day while I was standing barefoot in my kitchen slicing watermelon and humming “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” I realized that I have good reason to look forward to Christmas this year. I’ve got a Christmas book coming out!

If you enjoyed HER STUBBORN COWBOY, then you’ll love THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS BRIDE coming out November 2016. This is Andy Granger’s story–the prodigal cowboy who comes home to the mess he walked away from three years earlier. Chet and Mack are in the city having  twins, and Andy is running the cattle drive for his brother while he’s away. He hadn’t counted on riding herd with the one woman who hates him most…
