contemporary romance, heartwarming, mature hero, mature heroine, The Second Chance Club

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!

Overseas releases!

All They Want For Christmas, harlequin heartwarming, M. K. Stelmack, mills and boon, Mountain Mistletoe Christmas, Patricia Johns, The Second Chance Club, western

I love seeing the differing cover treatments for my books when they are released overseas. I recently got a box of the Mills and Boon version of Mountain Mistletoe Christmas that is being released together with M. K. Stelmack’s All They Want For Christmas. The Mills and Boon version is being published in Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

I notice things like how in the Mills and Boon version, they don’t include the dog. Here in North America, a dog on a cover is a real pull right now! We love our pets, and we love seeing them in our fiction, too. But what sells here in North America is a little different from what appeals to readers in other countries, and I love seeing how the marketing teams work!

If you haven’t picked up a copy of Mountain Mistletoe Christmas yet, I hope you will! It’s the second book in my Second Chance Club miniseries, and I really love these mature heroes and heroines! I think you will, too!

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!

It’s that time again. I’m looking for a few good readers to read and review my October release, Mountain Mistletoe Christmas.

This is the second book in my Second Chance Club miniseries, featuring a dinner club for divorced women in their forties in a Rocky Mountain resort. They’re starting over and facing all the challenges of parenting, working, managing relationships, and building lives they can be proud of… and with the help of some good friends who’ve all been through it before, they’re falling in love, too.

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!

 

Can you commit to reading and posting an honest review for Mountain Mistletoe Christmas? In some places the reviews would need to be posted on or after the release date of October 13, 2020, so being able to come back and post reviews at that time would be very much appreciated for those who would like to review. If that is you, please contact me using the form below with the following:

1. Tell me a little bit about yourself

2. Tell me where you can commit to posting reviews. For example, Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes and Noble, BAM, Harlequin, Walmart, Target, or anywhere else where you buy your books.

I can supply an EPUB copy of the book by email. No other versions of the book are available for review at this time.

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…

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!

With an old flame?

Fifteen years in an unhappy marriage showed Melanie Isaacs exactly what she didn’t want. Now she’s in Mountain Springs to figure out the rest of her life—even if it means facing her former sweetheart, Logan McTavish. The spark between Logan and Melanie is stronger than ever. But is it enough to heal two weary, damaged hearts…and show them the way to a new happiness?

The Second Chance Club

harlequin heartwarming, Heroine in her 40s, sweet romance, The Second Chance Club, Their Mountain Reuinion

I have some new titles!

When you write a book, get it accepted, and even begin the editing process, you don’t know the title that the book will be published under. You have a working title, but as for the one that will be on the shelves? Complete surprise!

So I was finally given the title for my new miniseries that starts this May with Harlequin Heartwarming: THE SECOND CHANCE CLUB.

cathedral-mountain-lodge

The lodge that inspired the setting. This is the real life Cathedral Mountain Lodge. 

Angelina Cunningham has been through a brutal divorce, but she’s fared well! And she’s determined to help her friends in a similar situation. So she begins a dinner club at her mountain lodge called The Second Chance Club, and the women who meet there are an emotional support for each other as well as a source of advice for women who are still overwhelmed by all the changes and heartbreak that divorce brings.

The first book, THEIR MOUNTAIN REUNION, comes out May 2020.

This is a special book… When my agent read it, she said that it was the best book I’d written to date and she just gushed about how much she loved it! And I love it, too! I think what made this particular book resonate with me so much was that my heroine is 40. This is the first time I’ve written a heroine my age, and I just loved the experience! This whole miniseries will feature women in their forties hashing through life’s issues and finding love.

And I can’t wait for the miniseries to start! 🙂
