May 2013

It must be May. People are talking about flower gardens and summer vacations. And eighty degrees looks like a real possibility.

In April, I had an opportunity to write a guest column for the Happy Ever After blog at USA Today. The topic was location and the importance it plays to both the author and the reader. Here’s a link: http://www.usatoday.com/story/

The location for my July, 2013 Harlequin Intrigue is Chicago, one of my favorite places to visit. Love the restaurants, the flowers that line the streets, the impressive brownstones.

The title is For the Baby’s Sake and as you might guess, there’s a baby in the story. The heroine is Liz Mayfield who works as a counselor in a teen pregnancy center. The hero is Sawyer Montgomery, a Chicago detective. They both want Mary Thorton but for very different reasons. Liz wants to protect the teen and her unborn child. Sawyer wants Mary to testify about a murder that she witnessed. When Mary suddenly is missing, Liz and Sawyer must band together to bring the teen and her baby home safely.

It’s got suspense, a little danger, and a whole lot of romance. I think you’ll enjoy it.

If you haven’t read my time travel romances yet, there’s still time. All three books are available as e-books on the device of your choice!
