I love getting boxes of books! 🙂 Rocky Mountain Baby comes out in June this year, and I’ve just gotten my hands on the printed copies!

This is the third book in my Second Chance Club miniseries about a dinner club of divorced women who get together for friendship and moral support. They help each other through all the difficult patches in life… and help each other see the possibilities of new love. Because life isn’t over at 40!

If you like mountain settings, a gorgeous resort, family drama, fine wine and old friends, then these books are for you!

Rocky Mountain Baby is about a marketing specialist who thought she was infertile during her failed marriage, who finds herself unexpected (and joyfully!) pregnant now that she’s single. This baby isn’t an accident or and “oops.” He’s her miracle! But the father wasn’t meant to be anything but a comfort for one evening. When she comes to the Mountain Springs Resort to do an ad campaign for the owner, she stumbles across the man who fathered her baby… At seven months pregnant, she didn’t think she’d have to deal with this!

I do hope you’ll pick up a copy! I just love this miniseries with mature heroes and heroines finding love again.

My SECOND CHANCE CLUB miniseries has been such a joy to write! These books have heroines who are 40-ish with heroes old enough to know what they want and how to get it. They have more to lose, and it takes a whole lot more to sweep them off their feet, but true love always finds a way.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BABY releases June 2021, and it is the third book in the miniseries. Marketing expert Taryn Cook is seven months pregnant when she arrives at the Mountain Springs Resort to do an ad campaign, and she’s stunned to run into an old acquaintance… more than an acquaintance, actually. He’s the father of her child whom she never expected to see again!

But here they are in the idyllic mountain resort with two weeks of work ahead of them, and they’re determined to keep this professional for their baby’s sake. This child will need two functional parents, and having a strong friendship for co-parenting seems more important right now than following the attraction that brought them together to begin with.

But with the Second Chance Dinner Club which meets at the resort for their monthly gatherings and some understanding women who’ve all been there before, a happily ever after starts to feel possible.

These are the first two books in the miniseries–you should definitely check them out!

A little bit of maturity

I’m so thrilled to remind you about the second book in my Second Chance Club miniseries… Mountain Mistletoe Christmas is officially releasing October 6, 2020.

And I love this story!

Love is a whole lot more complicated when you’ve already been married once and you’ve got kids in the mix. Gone are the days of simple dates and seeing if there’s chemistry.

Nick Bryant knows from experience that trying to change yourself for a relationship doesn’t work. And his new client, Jen Taylor, is the kind of woman who is way above him on the social ladder.

He’s done this before… it doesn’t end well.

So why can’t he manage to keep business and pleasure separate?

I love writing heroes and heroines who are old enough to know what they want… and how to get it. 😉 With a little bit of life experience comes a new, toe-curling level of attraction. And it takes a whole lot more to get these two world-weary souls together.

Mountain Mistletoe Christmas can be found in all your favourite e-tailers. I hope you’ll pick up a copy!

Starting over isn’t easy… especially when your cheating ex-husband’s teenaged daughter lands on your doorstep! But Melanie Isaacs isn’t alone–she’s got some old friends, a dinner club of supportive women who’ve seen all of this before, and the first man she’d ever loved back in town.

She just might make a full recovery…

This book is about hope, it’s about finding the good things in something that is hard, it’s about learning that family is more then just blood relations. Patricia Johns knows how to tug at them old heart strings, she once again takes you on a journey that will show you that the world is good.

~Goodreads, 5 star review

Mountain 1

I love writing a more mature heroine. Don’t get me wrong–young heroines are fun, too, but when I write a woman in her forties, I can dig deeper.

There comes an age for every woman  when she stops taking the BS, and she draws a line. For a lot of women, that’s 40. She’s tired of the disrespect, and not willing to play games anymore for anyone.

She’s also experienced a few different types of relationships–good ones, manipulative ones, short-lived ones. She knows what her heart can take, and what is just a waste of time. So sweeping a woman in her forties off her feet… it takes more than some sweet talking.

In THEIR MOUNTAIN REUNION, Melanie Isaacs just wants some time to lick her wounds after a painful divorce, but when her ex-husband’s teenaged daughter lands on her doorstep, that isn’t going to be possible.

What is it about kids that forces us to face the stuff we’d rather not look at? Melanie needs to start over, but not just for herself. She’s got a seventeen-year-old watching how she copes with this rejection, and Tilly has a few painful life lessons of her own.

I hope you’ll pick up a copy of THEIR MOUNTAIN REUNION and join Melanie in discovering the Second Chance Dinner Club. These are women who have seen it all before, and are still wading through their troubles. But they believe in second chances, and in women supporting each other.

Turns out, that’s the combination that works!

I got yet another box of books, and I’m so happy to finally have these books, because this one releases in a matter of weeks! That’s right–May, this one hits the virtual shelves, and I think you’re going to love it!

Mountain 3

Their Mountain Reunion is a story about love after heartbreak and second chances when your teenaged step-daughter thinks you’re too old for it. 😉

Melanie Isaacs raised her ex’s kids, and now she’s divorced and out of the family circle. Obviously. Except her stepdaughter Tilly has arrived at the lake house that Melanie got in  the divorce and she’s refusing to leave.

Add to that, Melanie’s ex from way back in the day is in town searching for his biological father he lost touch with, and Melanie is inclined to help him. It sure beats dealing with a seventeen-year-old’s eye rolls and attitude.

Logan has grown up, and he’s got a young adult son and some recent heartbreak of his own. When they were teenagers, the chemistry seemed like enough, but they’re both a little wiser now. And a little more world weary, too.

But when Melanie attends a mysterious dinner club at the upscale Mountain Springs Lodge, second chances start feeling possible again…

This is the first book in THE SECOND CHANCE CLUB miniseries!

I have a brand new cover to share for my May 2020 release… that’s coming right up! I absolutely love this story. Even my agent told me that this one is really something special!

Writing this book was such a joyous release for me–being able to write a woman my own age with all the passion and wisdom that comes with a couple of decades in the relationship trenches.

It has:

  • a mature hero who’s old enough to know what he wants and exactly how to get it
  • a mature heroine who knows what life is about, but still struggles as a stepmom
  • family drama… oh, so much drama…
  • an evolving relationship with her step-daughter that will wring your heart out (guaranteed!)
  • all the tugging at your heartstrings and passionate kisses that you can handle!

Did I mention how much I love this book? ❤
