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!

Growing up, my father was a minister and we moved around a lot. I’ve found that it’s a lot like having a parent in the military. I was always in a new school, living in a new setting. For my high school years, our family moved to a little mountain town called Salmon Arm in British Columbia, Canada.

Shuswap Lake

It’s a gorgeous little town fuelled by tourism. It’s located right by the Shuswap Lake. I have so many great memories from those three years in Salmon Arm! Friends, rights of passage… We hung out at the beach, drove around, and I worked at the local McDonald’s where all the other kids worked, too. It was a really great place to graduate high school.

This is a recent picture of the house we lived in back then.  (Snapped by a friend who went home to visit her parents.) That living room window has a view of the lake–just gorgeous!

Salmon Arm has stuck in my heart. There’s something about the way the seasons change in the mountains–like how you can know when winter is almost there because the snow line has moved down the mountains.

So when I wrote HER LAWMAN PROTECTOR, I decided to set it in the fictional mountain town of Eagle’s Rest. I gave her a bookstore… and I set it in the fall with the leaves all changing and the snow line moving steadily down those mountains… ❤

Sigh! I love this book! I really think you’ll like it, too!
