Louisiana, Book 3

It’s her first Christmas with her birth family…

Thanks to a bone marrow donation from her newly discovered sister, interior designer Allison Miers has just beat cancer and has been welcomed into her new family, the Bertrands of Cypress Bayou. She’s been curious about her birth family for years, and it seems they’re all trying to make amends for her mother abandoning her—even offering a trust fund if she’ll stay a year and give the town a chance.

As Allison arrives in town amidst preparations for the Cypress Bayou Christmas Festival, she’s quickly overwhelmed by the drama and competition between both sides of her birth families. Local mechanic Nick Landry is the most normal person she’s met so far, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s also handsome and friendly. Just as Allison starts to wonder if she’s finally found a new home, family, and a man to love, she discovers that Nick—just like both sides of her family—has been keeping his own secrets.

Family is all Allison has ever wanted, but should she listen to her head or her heart this unforgettable Christmas?

Retired Navy pilot Angel Warren’s new life awaits in Stonebridge, Pennsylvania, where she’s opening Shop ‘Round the World, her travel-inspired gift and novelty shop. A newly empty nester and longtime widow, she’s looking forward to leaving her flying career and its many life-or-death decisions behind and reconnecting with family and friends. Right now, Angel’s biggest challenge is getting the shop ready for its grand opening just weeks before Christmas.

Until she finds a dead body in the shop murdered with one of her specialty Santa figurines. Even worse, Angel’s fingerprints are on the “weapon” and she’s a prime suspect. It doesn’t help that the deceased is an old friend who’s collected a long list of enemies as a cut-throat real estate agent. And then there’s the Stonebridge Chief of Police—and Angel’s high school BFF—who brings her in for questioning.

If Angel wants to clear her name before the Christmas rush, she’s going to need to do some sleuthing on her own—and with the help of her stressed out parrot, Ralph.

Home for Hanukkah by Rebecca Crowley (American Heart)

Release Date: December 1, 2022

Orchard Hill, Book 4

He’s looking for one last miracle…

Zach Strauss may be down, but he’s not out. His Bay Area biotech start-up has crashed, leaving him broke, but it’s only temporary until he can raise more money—or so he tells himself. Failure isn’t an option, and Zach’s always been able to sell anyone on anything. But back in his hometown, he finds himself in the unfamiliar position of needing a job.

After a childhood of instability, Noa Jacob purchased Second Chance, a thrift store-turned-boutique in Orchard Hill, and is determined to put down the roots she never had. Running her own business is more challenging than she’d imagined, and she’s in danger of losing it all—until a handsome stranger bursting with ideas walks in looking for work.

Noa only has ten days to turn Second Chance around, but Zach is confident that’s plenty. Together they create a successful Hanukkah Miracle Market that draws in families looking for something other than the Christmas cheer. But as the balance sheet ticks up, Noa wonders if instead of losing her business, she risks losing her heart.

Where did you get the inspiration for this story?

There were a host of small situations that gave me the idea for Return to Me, one in particular was a dear friend’s circumstance. Undoubtedly, she’ll easily recognize elements in the story that mirror her life. With that, from the start of book one in the Tycoon’s Temptation series, on the surface, Evie has been the easygoing mediator and logical thinker in her friend group. She seems to have everything under control and has a solution for every situation. I wanted to show her flaws, but also demonstrate her strengths in how she overcomes them. What better way than to forge up an old love who broke her heart. 

This is a steamy second chance romance. What drew you to this trope? What’s your favorite trope to write?

I enjoy Second Chance romances—the one that got away or a breakup over an unresolved issue. Second Chance tropes are fun to write because I can jump right into the center of the story without a lot of “first meet” “meet cute” build up. Toss in sexual tension and it makes for a great love story. The challenge comes in convincing the reader that the hero and heroine should get back together, despite past offenses. But that’s part of the fun. Enemies to Lovers trope is my all-time favorite trope—I love creating the heightened animosity that finds a way to morph into affection—but the Second Chance romance trope runs a close second. Most important is developing strong, likable, memorable characters, so the reader roots for their happily ever after.

How do you relate to Evie, your heroine, and how do you hope readers will relate to her?

I feel readers want to read about realistic people, while at the same time, they want to escape a little. There is always a bit of truth weaved into creating my characters. Evie’s character was loosely fashioned from real events. When trying to shape and relate to my characters, I tend to draw on my own experiences or those of others around me. I’ve seen firsthand how a misunderstanding can ruin a relationship. I wanted to show that in this story while also showing how it can be reconciled.

How do you relate to Vincent?

Instead of trying to relate to Vincent, my goal was focused on molding him into the “ideal” heterosexual man—do my male characters sound like men? For Vincent, it was important to determine what parts of the ideal man am I trying to capture, and what are the perceived shortfalls I’m trying to counterbalance? That doesn’t mean Vincent has to lift a truck or that he doesn’t have a soft side. It was important to show Vincent masculinity and strengths but also his compassion. 

This is the third book in your Tycoon’s Temptation series. Do you find it harder to write the first book in a series or the subsequent novels? 

Every book has its challenges, but I feel the first book is the hardest because it’s where most of the series’ world building happens. Though I outline my series and include character traits for the hero, heroine, and supporting players in the story, the characters tend to birth themselves as I write. 

What are you currently reading?

I’ve stepped away from reading romance for a bit to read Ken’s Follett’s, The Evening and the Morning, a historical fiction in Follett’s Kingsbridge series. I’m also reading the sci-fi thriller, Deep Matter by Blake Crouch.

In six months. With no romantic prospects in sight, he looks toward Tabitha Seils. She’s made it clear she doesn’t like him, which is exactly the no-strings deal he’s looking for.

Custom pastry chef Tabitha Seils wants nothing more in life than a baby. So when a new mother considers Tabitha to adopt her infant, Tabitha nearly bursts with happiness. She makes the first of three payments but needs to find a way to pay the rest. Marrying Dominic is a win-win: they can access his trust, divvy up the money, and get an annulment.

Neither expected their marriage of convenience would bring about real feelings. Nor the twist in store for their arrangement that could cost them everything.

When scandal surpasses discretion…

James Trelissick, Marquis of Lasterton, will do anything to free his mother and sister from a notorious pirate. Their disappearance threatens his sister’s reputation and future. Desperate after months of fruitless searching, he disguises himself as a servant for the pirate’s daughter and kidnaps her, intending to exchange the hoyden for his beloved family.

Daniella Germaine’s only wish is to be back on the deck of her father’s pirate ship, the wind in her hair and adventure on the horizon. But her father foisted her off on her brother to join London’s marriage market and find a husband. To prove herself unmarriageable, Daniella hurls herself into scandal after scandal only to be ‘rescued’ by her handsome but disapproving coachman who takes his protection duties far too seriously for her agenda.

When the rescue turns into a hostage swap, Daniella finds herself knee-deep in intrigue and adventure that could prove as deadly to her heart as it is to her life.

The Starr Brothers of Montana, Book 4

She promised she’d go anywhere…

When lifestyle “it” girl Lilou Langdon dumps her wealthy, snobby fiancé days before their highly-promoted society wedding, she can’t get out of Manhattan fast enough. Desperate to escape, she begs her magazine editor for the first assignment out of town. With her designer luggage and pup in a purse, Lilou—who specializes in covering luxury resorts and glamorous travel destinations—arrives in Montana for a six day trek into the wilderness.

Adventure tour owner Garrett Starr was expecting an experienced, off-grid journalist to cover his wilderness trek. Instead he gets Lilou, a city-slicker ‘princess’ who doesn’t know a crampon from a crouton. Worst of all, she brings along her lion-haired Pomeranian, Simba. Garrett dreamed that the article would boost his business to the next level, yet Lilou appears to be his worst nightmare.

But Lilou didn’t make a name for herself by giving up, and soon both she and Garrett realize they’re in for more than they bargained for.
