Happy New Year!!!
I wish you the very best life has to offer in 2010 and always.

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful holiday season and if you’re like most people I know, you’re looking forward to the new year.

From what I can tell, it looks as though 2010 is going to be another great year for reading romances. If I had to put a list together myself, the decade would be half over before I finished. Thank goodness for the internet. Besides the usual haunts, here’s a few other places to browse for offerings: (If these don’t show up as links, just copy/paste them into your browser)

Starting the year off on a good note, I have a medieval release in January from Harlequin Historical – “Pregnant By The Warrior”. This is Jared’s story – you might have met him in Falcon’s Heart as the hero’s friend who came to Marianne’s aid. He’s also the son of Brigit and Randall - the couple from my story in the “Halloween Husbands” anthology.

Jared has his hands full. Which is no less than what he deserves. I mean, poor recently widowed Lea has enough going on without dealing with a past love to boot…

"Lea of Montreau has a stark choice: marry, produce an heir, or forfeit her keep. A proud leader, she's prepared to do whatever it takes to protect her people. It seems fate is in agreement when a stranger approaches…

Warrior Jared of Warehaven was once Lea's betrothed. Now that Lea's future is under threat she can't become emotionally involved with Jared again. But he has plans of his own, and he intends to use every seductive trick he knows to get Lea to comply…"

Of course, as we all know, it’s a romance so it ends well, the fun is getting them to their happily ever after ending.

The excerpt is up on my website – in the Books section.

Currently in the works:

Cam’s story for Dragon’s Lair II (Silhouette Nocturne) – While Braeden was the Dragon Lord of Mirabilus, his twin Cameron IS a dragon.

Sean’s story for Dragon’s Lair III (Silhouette Nocturne) – A non-believer in magic and mystical powers, Sean gets through life fighting to be “normal” in a family of wizards, so why on earth would he fall for a woman who breathes magic?

Isabella’s story (Harlequin Historical) – Jared’s sister Isabella casts her hopes and dreams on an herbal love spell and gets more than she bargained for when she accidently “nets” the wrong man.

I’ll be out and about on the internet the next two weeks. If you’re free, please stop by and visit:
