Cover Reveal A MAVERICK TO (RE)MARRY

Nothin' like a cowboy, right?

A July release.

I like this one.  He looks so natural--and there's something about a man in a worn chambray shirt....

Back cover copy reads:

Married—and divorced!—in secret…

Rust Creek Ramblings

Rust Creek Falls’ flirty cowboy and the shy, straight-A student—a couple? We have it on good authority that not only were Derek Dalton and Amy Wainwright once an item, they were actually married! With Amy back in town for her friend’s wedding, how long before their secret past is revealed? Gather your rose petals, dear readers… We suspect these high school sweethearts may soon get a second chance at happily-wedded-after!

Cover Reveal THE NANNY'S DOUBLE TROUBLE

A May 2018 release, this will be the first book in my Bravos of Valentine Bay series.

I'm not usually a fan of kids on my book covers--but in this case I am so making an exception.

Meet Frannie and Jake, 18-month-old twins.  I had such fun writing these two and the Harlequin cover team captured them perfectly in this shot.

The back cover copy reads:

Meet The Bravos of Valentine Bay…

And the single father of twin toddlers in desperate need of a nanny! 

All his life Daniel Bravo has been the responsible one. So when he’s left widowed with adorable twins to raise, he knows he needs help, fast. Enter family friend Keely Ostergard—a woman with love in her heart for his children, and a gigantic chip on her shoulder for him. She’s the last person he’d ever fall for—the aversion is mutual. Until it isn’t…

COVER REVEAL Married Till Christmas

This is Nell Bravo's story, the last in my Bravos of Justice Creek series and a December release. (No worries Bravo series lovers.  The Bravos of Valentine Bay starts in May 2018.)

Back cover copy reads:

An impulse wedding…

Strong, sexy Nell Bravo won’t be fooled again.  After all, Declan McGrath already shattered her heart into pieces—not once, but twice. When alluring CEO Deck sweeps Nell off her feet in Las Vegas, though, she tumbles headlong into an “only in Vegas” fling with her first love. But Nell sure didn’t bargain on a Vegas wedding!

…a lifetime of love?

It’s taken a long time for Deck to finally capture the one who got away. And this time, he’s charmed her straight to the altar. But Nell will stay married to him only until Christmas Day—unless Deck can prove that this time, it’s for keeps. With the clock ticking, can Deck convince Nell that he truly is her one and only…or has Mr. Love-’Em-and-Leave-’Em broken a Bravo’s heart for the last time?

Cover Reveal GARRETT BRAVO'S RUNAWAY BRIDE

This is my October release, book 8 in the 9-book BRAVOS OF JUSTICE CREEK  series.  I love this cover. Actually, I find myself loving my covers a lot lately and that makes me so happy!   Hope you love it, too.

                                                                 

Back cover copy reads...

Once again, she's running… 

When bride-to-be Cami Lockwood finally escapes the clutches of her domineering family, she accidentally stumbles straight into the mountain retreat of the most alluring man she's ever met. Garrett Bravo's never been lucky in love. But that's before a one-of-a-kind heiress rushes headlong onto his doorstep. 

But this time, she's running toward something! 

Garrett's mother can't resist matchmaking for her relentlessly unavailable son. So what better way to evade her meddling than to pretend that his accidental arrangement with creative, unique Cami is the real thing? Just one catch: he hadn't bargained on falling head over heels for the runaway bride turned woman of his dreams…

Cover and Blurb May Release...

I think this is a gorgeous cover.  Aside from the hero, who either took one bad picture or has one of those faces that should not be on the cover of a romance.  But otherwise, love it!

This is Jody Bravo's story, book 7 in the 9-book Bravos of Justice Creek series.

Back Cover Copy reads...

FIRST COMES MARRIAGE  

Feisty, fearless Jody Bravo's set to do everything for her baby. She doesn't need anything from anyone—especially the stepbrother of her baby's late father. But lawman Seth Yancy won't leave her to face parenthood alone, no matter how prepared she is. And even though Jody resists, soon she's taken in completely by his charms—and agrees to be his wife… 

THEN COMES LOVE?  

Hunky Sheriff Yancy's not without his fair share of admirers in Justice Creek. After a terrible tragedy years before, though, he's faced life alone. Now the real-life woman of his dreams just happens to be his bride—and pregnant with the child of his heart, if not his reality. So "father" is a role that will come naturally to Seth. And will "husband" really be that far behind?

Cover Reveal October Release...

I love it.  I love their expressions.  And I can't believe she's wearing exactly what I described in the art info.  That hardly ever happens.

Back cover copy reads:

BEAUTY AND THE…MAN WHO'LL NEVER LET HER GO 
Elise Bravo needed a job, desperately. And soldier turned thriller writer Jed Walsh burned through—almost literally, it turned out—assistants like hellfire through brimstone. Turned out he had some… unusual work habits to go along with his giant talent and ego. He threw knives to relax. He cleaned his guns as he acted out scenes. And more than anything, he hated cats… 

Enter Elise, crack typist, master plotter and perfect for the live-in job in every way but one…two if you counted Mr. Wiggles, her furry companion. For though Jed had sworn he would never get "involved" with a woman who worked for him, it took only a day or two with the perfectly professional, pencil skirt–wearing Bravo beauty to realize that his interest in Elise broke all the rules. He had to make her his—even if he had to win over her kitty to do it…

Cover and blurb JAMES BRAVO'S SHOTGUN BRIDE

My May release...

And the back cover copy reads...

JAMES BRAVO IS MARRYING HIS DREAM WOMAN. 

THERE'S JUST ONE CATCH… 

Tied to a chair and staring down the barrel of a shotgun isn't how James Bravo planned on proposing to the woman he's secretly longed for for months. He also isn't the father of Addie Kenwright's unborn baby—even if her grandfather thinks he is. James has never stolen so much as a kiss from the beautiful rancher…but all that changes when he and Addie say "I do." 

Three times burned is enough to put a single woman off wedlock forever. Addie only agreed to this crazy scheme to appease her ailing grandpa. Now the mother-to-be can't get enough of the hunky, blue-eyed attorney. Are Addie and James ready to take the plunge for real and turn a temporary arrangement into the marriage of both their dreams?

Cover and Back Cover Copy July Release

Yes, it is hunky former villain, Nate Crawford claiming this cover all for himself.  What I like:  Nate wants to make good after all his past bad behavior.  I love the expression here, like he's looking into the future and promises to be a better man.

And so he will.

This is the launch book for Harlequin's 20-year celebration of Montana Mavericks.  Yep.  You heard right.  20 full years of MM deliciousness!

New Book Cover

So this is the first cover in the Bravo Royale series.  It's an April 2012 release.  The kid is really cute, I think.  The guy is not how I pictured Rule, the hero, at all.  But hey.  It happens sometimes....

I showed it to my husband.  He said, "Well, what do you want?  He looks like a prince."  So maybe I should listen to my husband.  You think?
