Genre: Suspense

Icebound

When Bastien Toussaint vanishes, his wife Chloe knows only one thing: Something very bad must have happened to keep him away from her. She’s determined to find him, and she does, in the catacombs of Paris. There’s only one problem. He insists he doesn’t know her, which would be bad enough, but he’s decided to hold her as a hostage. Nothing she can say or do will get him to recognize her, and he’s become like the Bastien she first knew—dangerous and deadly–but she’s afraid if she escapes, she’ll never see him again.

Jean-Marc has no idea who the woman is who foolishly insists he’s her husband. His current mission is too important to jeopardize, but he needs to find out who and what she is before he can either let her go or dispose of her.

As he drags her through the French countryside, the shores of Lake Como, and the arid Spanish desert, Bastien finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He can’t afford any distractions, but he can’t let her go either. He has a Nobel Peace Prize winner to get rid of, and Chloe provides him with much needed cover. When the job is done he can let her go and forget all about her.

Can’t he?

From the catacombs of Paris to the busy streets of London, Icebound revisits Chloe and Bastien from Black Ice, once more enmeshed in danger and murder in this sizzling tale of suspense and romance.

Return to Mariposa

Kitty Whitehead has never gotten over her banishment from Mariposa, the family home in Spain. When her glamorous cousin Bella comes up with the daring suggestion that they take each other’s place, she reluctantly agrees, for the chance to say goodbye to the house and her estranged family.

But turning mousy Kitty into the glorious Bella is harder than she thinks, even if everyone seems to be fooled. Everyone but her hateful almost-cousin Ian, who’s getting too close to the truth and too close to Kitty, as he invades her dreams and makes her question everything she’s ever known to be true.

Someone is out to kill Kitty…or Bella. Who wants her dead, and why? Could Bella’s old enemy turned lover be the greatest danger she’s ever faced?

A modern story of romantic suspense and masquerade, where no one is as they seem.

Return to Christmas

Madison Simcoe has had enough. She’s a cold, lonely workaholic who’s been harassed one too many times by a fellow worker, it’s Christmas and the spirit is gone, and she feels like a stranger in her own life. A little retail therapy should cheer her up.

Macy’s is huge, a giant store full of wonders, and Madison’s happy place. So when she decides to indulge herself, pushing through the big doors on a cold afternoon in December, she’s not expecting to suddenly find herself in 1947, unable to leave the huge building. And she’s certainly not expecting to find incredibly hot Johnny Larsen, former Army spy during WWII, with a buttload of PTSD, artistic brilliance, and bad attitude, looking out for her.

Bad things happen, even at Christmas, but there’s magic in the air, and Madison is inconveniently in love with a man who must be long dead. Surely there’s a happy ending among the mistletoe and holly?

Return to Christmas, is available now in paperback and Kindle editions.
