Fun news!

I have titles and release dates for upcoming books.

As I’ve already announced, this fall KISSING SANTA CLAUS, the new Christmas anthology will be out in October. My story, Lock, Stock, and Jingle Bells, will continue the story from last year’s anthology, TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT - and if you missed it, that book is being re-released in October in mass market (regular size) paperback. So check it out!

Then, in November, my next single title, A GREAT KISSER hits the stands, followed by the mass market size reprint of BLACK SHEEP & THE PRINCESS in January.

Now for the fun NEW news! My next single title has been pushed up to February 2010 - title is HERE COMES TROUBLE! Then, if that wasn’t cool enough, the book after that is coming in June! I know, three single titles in seven months. Now you know why I’ve been deep inside my little bat cave here. The June book is titled SOME LIKE IT SCOT. And yes, you guessed it, I’m going back to Scotland with this one. If you enjoyed Catch Me If You Can, Bad Boys in Kilts, or The Great Scot, hold on to your seats for this one!

AND! (Yes, there is more!) Harlequin invited me back to be part of their 60th year anniversary and I will have a book out with them next July! (Which brings the grand total to 4 titles in 8 months. Cah-razy!) And…and!! I will be doing another one for them (release date T& title BA) which, wait for it! Will be a paranormal! So for all of you who have pined for another paranormal from me lo these many years after the release of The Charm Stone and the four other para’s that came before it….this one is for you!

So, can you stand it? I know I can barely stand up! I’m thrilled and I hope you all are, too.

Below are the covers and copy for the remaining 2009 releases…back cover copy AND cover art for the 2010 books will be coming soon!!

Naughty or nice…

Behind on her bills, B&B owner Hope receives an unlikely guest—stranded solicitor Danny, who’s been threatening to put her out of business.

When Emma Lafferty is hired by a billionaire CEO to watch his pets over the holidays, she expects to enjoy a quiet Christmas in opulent surroundings.

Brilliant chemist Maggie Bell has a knack for choosing Mr. Wrong, and with yet another lonely Christmas looming, she decides it’s time to alter the equation—and seek out someone who seems totally wrong for her.

Can You Hand Me the Tape?
Natalie Pritchard is desperate. It’s a week before Christmas and she’s lost the naughty tape she made for her now-ex-boyfriend.

Some men just leave you breathless…

BACK COVER:
Buckle up. Enjoy the view.

Jake McKenna fixes planes, not people. Compared to an engine, humans are high-maintenance and unpredictable—which is why Jake has zero interest in indulging his sister’s request that he play tour guide and rent-a-date to her boss’s visiting stepdaughter. Still, Lauren Matthews is nothing like the uptight, reed-skinny workaholic he expected. She’s curvy—deliciously so. Funny. Open. And convinced that there’s more to her mother’s hasty marriage to the local mayor than meets the eye.

Leaving her fast-track Washington career is the most impulsive thing Lauren has ever done—right until the moment she arrives in Cedar Springs, Colorado. Everything about sexy, enigmatic pilot Jake tempts Lauren to unleash her inner bad girl and let him take her places she’s never been…even as her snooping around town provokes some extremely hostile reactions. At this altitude, losing your head is easy. Trusting your heart can cost you everything…

So, there you have it! The rest of 2009….Tune in tomorrow for the details on this week’s free giveaway!! Then again Thursday and Friday for So You Think You Can Dance and Top Chef Masters MAC. Woot!
