Hi everyone,
I’ve been hanging out with a bunch of new friends lately. Seems I’ve started to spend a good potion of my time visiting other blogs and meeting new people, chatting about all kinds of interesting things. Check out the links below to see where I’ve been so far this week!

I can’t even believe that I’ve been published for an entire year already. In some ways it feels like it’s been 10 years and in others it feels like it’s only been 10 minutes. In my 1st year of publishing, I’ve published 5 books!!! Can you believe that? Crazy. So to commemorate my anniversary, I’m throwing a party and you’re all invited to the fun.
Enter the contest below in any of the ways you want and you’ll be automatically entered to win this great prize pack of awesomeness!
I have a little something to represent each of the 5 books I’ve had published this year. Plus an autographed paperback of Love and Lattes AND Love on Landing!! And a little swag too. So what are each of those fantastic prizes you see? Let’s have a closer look!!
My first book release was LOVE AND LATTES so to commemorate that book, I have a Love and Lattes cover imprinted coffee cup! Chase and Julia share a nice moment over a latte in the bookstore cafe and it seems a fitting tribute to them to share a cup of coffee with you, my wonderful readers! I have one too and I use it all the time to drink my coffee! I love it and I hope you will too.
The second book published was BUNNY HILLS AND BIKINIS. It’s set in Lake Tahoe during ski season. Nate and Amelia have an interesting moment on the bunny hill. Let’s just say they heat up the nearby snowbanks! It seemed like a nice cozy hat and scarf. I chose white because it was beautiful and because then it will go with whatever you wear!
My third book was LOVE ON LANDING where we took a trip to Paris with Tali while she tried to escape her life back home. But this time Tali needed more than just a little retail therapy… this time a pilot was the only thing to cure her broken heart. Good thing Gavin was there to fly her to Paris, be her shoulder to cry on (or b*tch at) and be the first person to know the real Tali. I thought a couple of funny luggage tags were just the thing to represent this book. And I think they’ll looks super cute on your bags the next time you travel!
My fourth book published was FALLING FOR YOU. This was the first book I ever wrote and the story that made me start my writing career. I love this book and my characters Cassidy and Evan. Now Cassidy is a little on the clumsy side and often times Evan is there to help pick her up. In honor of Cassidy, I created Cassidy’s Survival Kit. I hand picked all of these items because I can imagine a situation where Cassidy would need them. I hope you don’t need them at a pivotal moment in your life, but if you, I hope they come in handy!
Finally, my last book published this year, which released just days before my anniversary is LOVE OR LUXURY, the 3rd Meadow Ridge Romance. This is Rebecca and Finn’s story of choosing between the life you think you want and following your heart to the life that will make you happiest. In it, Rebecca has to make some pretty tough choices. One of the things that ultimately helps her decide are the memories of her mother. To keep her memory close by, Rebecca wears her mother’s old watch. I found this vintage inspired watch and I thought it represented the watch in the story very well. And every time you wear it, remember her mother’s motto: It’s about time. Taking the time to enjoy every aspect of life. Taking the time to realize what’s most important in your life. And not taking your time here for granted.

Love or Luxury is now available at AMAZON so to celebrate, I’m sharing an exclusive excerpt! Enjoy!
“Can I get a coffee, please?” a man asked from a place at the counter only a few seats away.
Throwing the cloth in the sink, she poured a hot coffee and set it in front of him along with a menu. His face was vaguely familiar, but not enough for her to pinpoint how or why she recognized him. She smiled. “Do I know you from somewhere?”
He tapped the motorcycle helmet sitting in the seat next to him. “Already forgotten, huh? Do you have near- death experiences so often they don’t stick with you?”
The helmet under his hand—his rather large hand— shone a deep blue as the overhead lights of the diner reflected off its surface. Oh no, she hadn’t forgotten about him at all. How could she? One, he’d almost run her over in the middle of the crosswalk… Not exactly the best way to start her day. And two, he’d looked damned sexy straddling his motorcycle earlier.
Now, seeing him up close and without his helmet on, there was no way she’d forget his face anytime soon. His strong jaw and hint of stubble were a perfect complement to his deep brown eyes and sandy-brown, clean-cut hair. Add his chocolate-colored leather jacket and he looked as if he’d just walked into the diner off the set of a Hollywood blockbuster. He was not the typical hard- edged biker. This guy oozed class, his motorcycle a huge contradiction to his otherwise professional appearance.
“I haven’t forgotten almost being run over, no. That’s something that tends to stick with a girl,” she teased, twirling the watch on her wrist, the tarnished silver looking shabby chic instead of old, like it was. When she looked at it, she imagined it on her mother’s wrist instead of hers.
“I was at least a foot away when I stopped. You know you should look before you cross the road. Your parents did teach you that, didn’t they?” He smiled before taking a sip of his coffee.
Her fingers paused on the watch’s winding dial before she gave it one last turn and let go. He probably thought his comment was cute and playful, but little did he know, it stung deep. Her parents hadn’t taught her much of anything. No one had for that matter. Life had taught her everything she needed to know.
She raised an expertly tweezed eyebrow at him. “I’m aware of the rule, yes. Can I get you something to eat or what?” Damn. That hadn’t come out quite right. Why was she being so rude to a guy who was so incredibly hot? And possibly interested. He couldn’t know the sting of his words.
“I’ll take a bacon and cheddar burger, medium, and an order of fries.” If the curve of his lips revealed anything about him, it would be that her comment hadn’t bothered him as much as she’d thought. Resilient.
She scribbled the order on her ticket pad and snapped it into the metal clip above the food service window, rotating the circular ticket holder until his order hung on the kitchen’s side. Even with her back turned, she felt his eyes watching her. Was he looking at her ass right now? She shifted to the side, slightly sticking out one hip, knowing the position showed off her rear nicely in the otherwise boring black jeans. The familiar clang of a coffee cup banging against the saucer caught her attention.
She turned. Mr Motorcycle mopped up spilled coffee from the saucer under his cup. Accident or distracted? The way his eyes traveled up her body when he looked up from his mess made the answer perfectly clear. Distracted.
Good. She liked to be the source of a man’s distraction and the object of his undivided attention.
