A SEDUCTIVE KISS - JANUARY 31, 2012

Graysons Friends Series number 5.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE


Cicely St. John is not impressed by her friend C.J. Callahan's so-called passion in life: running a New York City bar that he inherited from his uncle. So why can't Cicely stop thinking about the dance they shared at their mutual friend's wedding-or the mutual attraction she felt in C.J.'s arms?



TO GIVE LOVE A CHANCE

As far as C.J. is concerned, Cicely is a snob whose "passion" in life-writing for fashion magazines-is as pretentious as she is. So why can't he keep his eyes off her? C.J. has a business to run. And Cicely has a job opportunity in Paris. Neither of them even has time to think about romance right now. But maybe, just once, the two could test their friendship...with just one kiss.

THE TURNING POINT later retitled TROUBLE DON'T LAST ALWAYS .11/1/11

will be reissued in November 2011. TROUBLE DON'T LAST ALWAYS was my first foray into mainstream fiction. The book was also a result of my own medical scare with my vision, but that's another story. During the research on domestic abuse I was saddened and astounded to learn that domestic violence touched 3 in 10 woman. Hearing some of the women's stories left me in tears and so thankful that I had a warm, loving husband. I wanted to do something for the women who weren't so fortunate and established The Turning Point Legal Fund to help women of domestic violence restructure their lives. The fund is overseen by The Family Place, a women's shelter in Dallas.  So, every time you purchase THE TURNING POINT later retitled TROUBLE DON'T LAST ALWAYS, you help a woman in need!

BREAK EVERY RULE reissue on March 29, 2011

Dominique Falcon is a gorgeous model, a wealthy socialite--and a total fool when it comes to love. After falling for a charmer who was after her money, she's decided to set some ground rules for romance, starting with: Don't be richer than your man. But that was before she met Trent Masters, a ruggedly sexy truckdriver who drives her crazy...


He might be rough around the edges, but Trent is a hardworking man who built his successful trucking firm from humble beginnings. Dominique can't ignore the sparks between them--but dating a man so soon after his fiancee betrayed him would be breaking another basic rule: Don't trust a man on the rebound. Even so, things are heating up fast and--even though she might get burned--Dominique is ready to risk it all. In the game of love, rules are made to be broken...
