An Igniting Attraction


Fireman Tony Cruz faces the charred ruins of his life. Burned by his 
adulteress wife, Tony just lost his precious step-daughter in the resulting 
divorce.

Across the street, Natalie Goodwin is enjoying her empty nest. The ink 
dry on her divorce papers and her daughter now in college, Natalie is 
realizing her dream: opening her very own flower shop. Life is finally 
going right, until Tony Cruz walks in the door.

Now sparks of desire are flying everywhere, each one threatening to 
ignite Natalie's own fire. But falling for a hunky fireman nine years her 
junior is not part of the plan.

An Arresting Attraction


Burned-out Miami PD detective Paul Cabrera is determined to slow 
down. Reporting for a deputy job in Majestic, Colorado, where the most 
exciting police work will be writing parking tickets, Paul didn’t plan on 
falling in lust with the very sexy Deputy Lanie Prescott.

Lanie Prescott wants respect. But that word isn't in the Chief of Police's 
vocabulary. Determined to be taken seriously as a police officer, Lanie 
ignores her smokin' hot replacement and packs her bags for a law-
enforcement job in the city.

But an emerging crime wave temporarily puts Lanie back on the Majestic 
force, and what began as an arresting attraction between Paul and Lanie 
just may become a long-term incarceration of the heart.

My Interview:


1.) Tell us a little about yourself.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, graduating high school in the best of times: the 1970s. Disco, rock and roll, Malibu beach, and my ’74 Plymouth Duster cruising Van Nuys Blvd. I worked at Wherehouse records in the mall. I’m married to a funny guy who likes to bake and sew. (He said I could say that.) He owns his own business and knows everyone in Boise. Seriously, it’s so crazy how many people he knows. I have an adorable Yorkie named Cocoa Puff.

2.) When did you start to write?
I began writing as a soon as I could hold a crayon. I loved YA romances and tapped them out on an old upright typewriter. I read my first historical romance at the age of 20, when a co-worker at Bank of America told me I should read Shanna by Kathleen Woodiwiss. I was hooked.

3.) What Genre’s do you write?
I sold my first book in 1987, and went on to publish twenty-four historical and contemporary romances with traditional publishers.

4.) Have you ever thought about writing in a different genre?
Yes. I’m doing so now. After writing twenty-five novels and one novella, it was time to push myself to try something new. My work in progress is best described as commercial fiction.

5.) Can you tell us a little about your new project?
It opens in 1957 Southern California and follows several key characters whose lives intersect with one commonality between them. I’m drawing on my experiences of growing up in greater Los Angeles. The journey each character takes will have an impact on others as they are pulled toward the present day.

6.) Do you have any new releases coming out anytime soon? If yes what is the title and when can we expect it?
Right now I’m focused on my backlist being reissued in eBook formats. I’m hoping a new generation of romance readers will enjoy my stories. “Back in my day” we never thought about having hand-held electronic devises! I love the versatility of mine!

7.) What are you currently reading? What was the last book you read?
I finally got to my stack of People magazines last week on an airplane flight. I read random stuff, mostly non-fiction biographies. I just finished Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, and a Life Reclaimed by Michelle Knight. I couldn’t put it down. She is an inspiration.

8.) Who are some of your favorite authors?
Anyone who tells their life story in a way that I connect with. There are so many inspirational people who have overcome dark obstacles. As for romances, I’ve always thought LaVryle Spencer was exceptional at her craft.

9.) Can you tell us about your newest book that you have release?
I have two series out right now. Single Moms, Second Chances and To Protect & Serve, Heroes in Uniform. The Single Moms stories are about today’s women who are doing it all: careers and raising kids while trying to carve out new lives for themselves. The Heroes series feature a police officer and a firefighter.

10.) Which of your books you written is your favorite? Favorite Character?
Lucy Gets Her Life Back. Drew Tolman was one hot hero.

RAPID FIRE:

1.) Favorite Color: Pink
2.) Favorite Singer: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
3.) Favorite Season: Summer
4.) Favorite Food: Steak

5.) Favorite Animal: Dog
