Fresh HOT Covers!
⇓
As much as I loved the previous covers for the Close to Home series, Facebook, Instagram, and Amazon refused to show ads with those “sexually suggestive” images. 🙄 Sometimes change is good, though, and with these three sexy men looking out at us from the new covers, I’d say this is one of those times.
If you haven’t read the Close to Home series yet, I hope these handsome hunks will inspire you to dive in and enjoy!
Each book is a complete standalone story with a separate couple, and satisfying happily-ever-after. You don’t have to read all the books, or read them in order (though I think you’ll get even more enjoyment out of the series if you do!).
Available from Amazon, or read free with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

It’s My Birthday Sale!
November 25th marks my birthday, and exactly one month until Christmas. To celebrate, I’ve put GIFT WRAPPED on sale for just 99¢. I absolutely adore this sexy & sweet, Christmas love story, and I know you will too!
99¢ Sale!
After catching her boyfriend cheating two weeks before Christmas, Brinn is seriously lacking in holiday spirit. So when she looks into the eyes of a last-minute shopper after closing on Christmas Eve, she’s sarcastic rather than sympathetic. But Brinn is ever the good girl and her conscience wins out. She offers the handsome stranger ten minutes to select a gift and ends up with a present of her own—a date. On Christmas Eve.
Davis hates Christmas. Especially this year, since a neighborhood heist liberated him of his hard-earned belongings and the few gifts he’d purchased. But the robbery led him to a cute store manager with a sense of humor, smokin’ body and no plans for the evening. Mistletoe might be in order after all.
Their Christmas Eve date is like gift-wrapped, sexy satisfaction. But the best gifts keep on giving, and one naughty night may not be enough—for either of them.
What readers are saying about GIFT WRAPPED:

Pretty New Covers!
Check out the fresh, new covers for two of my books!
Since BODY OF WORK and WORTH THE WAIT are linked books in the same world, with character and setting crossovers, it makes sense for the covers to have a coordinating look.
I spent dozens of hours (no exaggeration!) looking for couples stock images that match the characters in these sexy stories. If there’s a stock image available with a 6’2″ muscular ginger hot guy (with short hair and a short, tidy beard) and a petite woman with pixie-short hair, I have not found it. (And if anybody ever does, please, please, send me a link!)
Until that magical unicorn day arrives, here are the beautiful new covers for these two super-sexy romances.
Do you love them as much as I do? If you hadn’t already read these stories, would the new covers catch your eye and entice you to hit that “buy now” button? Drop a comment below, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Sweet as Candy is Now Available!
He’s a cop. She’s a massage parlor attendant…and a single mom. They’re wrong for each other, but when they’re together, everything seems right.
Hello, my lovelies! SWEET AS CANDY is finally here, and I’m so excited to share Jake & Candace’s love story with you!
When I began writing the Close to Home Series, I envisioned three books, one for each of the Lawler siblings. However, their friends Jake and Candace started jumping up and down inside my head, and I knew I had to follow them on their journey to happily-ever-after together. I’m so glad I did! The road to long-lasting love isn’t a smooth one for this couple, but it’s still chock-full of sweet and sexy goodness. And the epilogue…oh, my heart! You may want to have a tissue ready to dab at those sappy, happy tears.
SWEET AS CANDY is the third book in the Close to Home Series, but it can be read as a standalone story. Jake and Candace appear as secondary characters in ICING ON THE CAKE, but you don’t need to read that book first to fully enjoy SWEET AS CANDY.
I hope you love this story as much as I do, and I’d love to hear from you after you read it. Please, come find me online at Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Goodreads, Amazon, BookBub, or shoot me an email. I hope to hear from you soon!
One little aside about this book… While most businesses in my stories are fictional, the butterfly conservatory in SWEET AS CANDY is based on the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. I love butterflies and have enjoyed many magical trips to this special place over the years. If you have never had the pleasure of visiting a butterfly conservatory, I highly recommend you find the nearest one and and check it out.

99¢ for Cup of Sugar? What a Deal!
After a good deed turns into a sweet-and-sexy weekend away, Conn wants to be more than just Nia’s neighbor…
CUP OF SUGAR is on sale for 99¢ for a limited time only. Get this feel-good romance for the sweet low price of 99¢ from May 29 to June 2.
CUP OF SUGAR is Book 1 in the Close to Home Series, but it can be read as a standalone story. Though I know that once you’ve met the characters in this series, you’re going to want to read all the books! ♥
Get your copy of CUP OF SUGAR from:
Nia has one rule—don’t date neighbors. Simple, except the guy next door is single, handsome, and not inclined to close his blinds while naked. When her car dies, Conn takes “being neighborly” to a new level by offering a ride to her long-distance destination. Nia has resisted his looks and charm for months. Surely she can handle a few hours in his truck…
For months, Conn has blatantly put himself on display, hoping his pretty blonde neighbor would tire of secretly watching and come knock on his door for a cup of sugar—or more. No such luck—until an unusual opportunity arises. After a six-hour drive turns into a sweet-and-sexy weekend, Conn wants more than neighborly status with Nia. To get it, he must convince her to break the rule protecting her heart—by putting his on the line.

Pre-Order Sweet as Candy
The third book of the Close to Home Series will be released June 2nd! I’m so excited for you to read Jake & Candace’s love story.
Both of these characters made appearances in Book 2 (Icing on the Cake) and their journey to happily-ever-after in SWEET AS CANDY is sweet, sexy, tender, and tumultuous. And the epilogue…gah! I dare you not to cry happy tears while reading it.
Like the other books in the Close to Home Series, SWEET AS CANDY is a standalone story and you don’t have to read the other books in the series. (But I think you’ll love it even more if you do.)
If you are new to the Close to Home series, and want to start at the beginning, I have put the first three books in a convenient box set, also available June 2nd.
I love this series so much. I can’t wait for you to read Sweet as Candy, and love Jake & Candace too!

Worth the Wait is Available Now!
It’s here! Release day for WORTH THE WAIT is here! It has been 4 1/2 years since my last book, and I am so excited to put Worth the Wait out there for you all to read. I absolutely love this story and I hope you will too!
Worth the Wait is the second book in the Very Personal Training series, but it is a complete standalone story. You don’t have to read the first book in the series to fully enjoy Worth the Wait.
Worth the Wait is currently available in e-book format from Amazon, Apple, Kobo and Barnes & Noble. Print edition coming soon, for those of you who prefer a physical book in your hands.
