Danger
Women hunted by killers
…men who’d die to protect them.


Heat
The lighter side of romance –
Not a killer in sight…unless it’s killer heat!


Holiday Shorts
Love & romance on holiday.



Welcome to my website! I hope you'll grab a cup of your favorite beverage and sit with me awhile. I can go on and on when you get me started but, then, I love to share my writing life with readers. I must have been born with stories in my DNA because they've scrambled for expression ever since I learned how to put my thoughts into words. Nothing makes me happier than to help the very real men and women in my head to achieve their dreams and fall in love.

British historian, Arnold Toynbee, once said, “The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.” It's one of my favorite quotes. Why? I derive the greatest pleasure blurring that line every day. Whether you prefer the suspenseful side of romance or the lighter side of humor and heat, I can't wait to share my stories with you!
