Here’s the cover for my next Ellora’s Cave release Stolen Hearts. It’ll be available April 11 which is coming up really soon! I can’t believe how time has flown by…
Stolen Hearts is a stand-alone sequel to Virgin Jewels.
Celeste Anderson doesn’t believe in love at first sight. She intends to marry someone with the same interests and financial aspirations, and have a neat, orderly life. But there’s something to be said for the thrill of the unknown—and when Alex enters her family jewelry store, her body decides it’s more than ready for a few thrills.
Desperate for his father’s approval, ex-jewel thief Alex Moretti reluctantly agrees to steal an antique diamond bracelet from a tiny, ill-secured shop. No problem for a pro like Alex—until he meets Celeste. Now the only thing he’s interested in stealing is her heart.

My friend Lori Borrill’s latest HQ Blaze book, Putting it to the Test, is now available! Yes indeed I was wandering around Target a couple of days ago and spotted it. Threw it in my shopping cart of course. I’ll be reading it this weekend. My reward for working my tail off this week.
Carly Abrams won a spot on a hot project by cheating on a compatibility test.
Now she must pretend to be the perfect match of a man who’s been a thorn in her side since he swaggered in to Hall Technologies two years ago.
Matt Jacobs always figured he wasn’t tops on Carly’s list, but who can ignore those test results? He wants to see if they’re as hot in the flesh as they are on paper.
Watch the sparks fly when Carly’s compatibility results are truly put to the test!
Isn’t that cover hot? Well actually I think the hero is hot. I like his hair. I like his hands. I like the heroine’s urrr, assets. She’s hot stuff too.
So go forth and buy it!
I’m also going to mention my friend Eve Power’s book too. Six & Sexy at Samhain Publishing.
And also my friend Elle Kennedy’s book Dance of Seduction also at Samhain Publishing
Whew. Lots of pimpage today!

…at the Sizzling Pens blog. I’m talking about finally getting my mojo back. And I went a long time without the mojo. Sigh…
That’s the match that lit my mojo’s fire. LOL

I have been a good blogger lately but sometimes life comes along and throws a big project at you. And that’s exactly what’s happened to me. I need to dive under the covers for a couple of days and work - really really hard. I hope it’ll be worth all of my effort.
So Happy Easter and all that good stuff! May you get lots of pretties in your basket. I’ll be back around early next week.

This guy came to visit Sunday afternoon:
And he reminded me that I’ve been feeling like a giant turkey myself. When it comes to writing, I had been the biggest slacker lately. Oh I’d complain to my friends and family and whoever wanted to hear me (sorry everyone) but I never really did anything about it. I signed up for Sven so he would kick my butt and the first week I did all right but then I lost focus.
Well I’m back on track. I’ve written about three thousand words since Sunday and it’s rolling right along. I finally feel back into the groove. Thank goodness. I guess it just took a turkey to show me the way.

I’m not Irish but I have fond memories of celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in college. Green beer! Green alcoholic drinks in general - for CHEAP. The bars open at six in the mornin’! Yes I went to a party college. My brother went to the same college years later and I’m sad to say they changed all of this. Spring break is always the week of Saint Patrick’s Day - always. That’s to keep those crazy green beer drinking kids from doing anything too wild at seven in the morning!
Sigh. College. Good times.
Anywho, I really wanted to remind everyone that if you didn’t read it last year, you should go check out my Saint Patrick’s themed book So Lucky (Cobblestone Press). I had a lot of fun writing it and it has a hot man on the cover. What more could you want?
(click cover for more info)
Lucky Simon has it all. A successful career, a fantastic apartment and great friends. The only thing she’s unlucky at is love. Her love life stinks big time and it’s all her fault.
Finding a four leaf clover conjures up a giant leprechaun in the middle of her living room the next day. Aidan claims she wished for him and now he belongs to her. She doesn’t want him, she thinks he’s crazy. Despite the fact that he turns her on.
What’s a girl to do?
