Welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by and I hope you’ll have time to check out what’s new around here. I’m busy working on the third book in my new series for Harlequin Superromance. I’m having such a great time writing about the residents of fictional Shady Grove, Pennsylvania - a town based on my own small, hometown.

In Shady Grove

Talk of the Town, the first book of my In Shady Grove series for Harlequin Superromance, is available now! I hope you’ll check out Maddie and Neil’s story. Click here for a special excerpt!

Shady Grove - where everyone knows your secrets

Once, Neil Pettit was the only thing Maddie Montesano wanted. She tried every trick in the book to keep him, but no luck. It took some time - and a lot of holding her head up while the town gossiped - but she’s made a good life for herself and her daughter.

Now, Neil’s back and is trying to be the father he never was. Maddie so doesn’t need this kind of disruption. Not when the crazy attraction she’s spent years ignoring still sizzles between them. The temptation to give in and have Neil again is strong. And when he offers that dream of forever she’d abandoned, well, she might give this town something new to talk about…

Book two, What Happens Between Friends, will be out in August. When Sadie Nixon returns to Shady Grove expecting her best friend James Montesano to once again fix the mess she’s made of her life, he refuses, severing ties with the only woman he’s ever loved.

Book three, Caught Up In You, is a December release.
