**FREE CHRISTMAS ROMANCE**

I have a little Christmas gift for all my readers!  A Curvy Coldwater Christmas (BBW Romance - Coldwater Springs 5) is the latest romance in the Coldwater Springs series and is free for everyone, no matter where you live!

What's it about?


When Kate is asked by her friend, Sarah McCord, to appear as Mrs. Claus in the Coldwater Springs Christmas parade, she doesn’t know what to think! After all, she’s only twenty-nine. And although she has a very curvy figure, she’s not matronly and gray-haired - yet.

But when she finds out that the hunky guy she’s admired for the last few months, Flynn Winters, will play opposite her as Santa, she’s glad she agreed to take part.  Especially when the script calls for them to kiss...

This is a sexy contemporary romance novelette of approximately 6,800 words. Although it’s part of the Coldwater Springs series, it can be read as a stand-alone.

If you live in the USA or the UK you can get it from Amazon:

Brand New Release! The Lawman's Blackmailed Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 3)

The reason I've been so quiet lately is I've been holed up in my writing cave, finishing The Lawman's Blackmailed Bride 



This is the third book in the Billionaire Brothers series, and features Cole, who was mentioned in The Tycoon's Reluctant Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 2)

So what happens with Cole?  Here's the blurb:

Only 99c for a limited time, then the price will rise to $2.99

One split second can change your life … forever.

Blackmailed into silence when her boss cons a sweet old lady, Phoebe Lancaster “borrows” an ancient coin to get it valued by an honest dealer. On the run and fearing her nasty boss will catch her, she jumps into Cole Trask’s car.

Former cop turned private eye Cole is intrigued when Phoebe crashes into his life, and offers to help her in any way he can.

Driving across Wyoming to get the coin valued by her former mentor, Phoebe discovers she’s falling in love with Cole. Burned by her ex-boyfriend, she finds it hard at first to trust Cole with the coin, or to trust her feelings for him.

What is the real reason Cole is helping her?  Even if his motives are genuine, could Cole ever really love a curvy girl like her?

This is a sexy contemporary romance novella of approximately 28,000 words.

Although this is the third book in the Billionaire Brothers series, it's a complete, stand-alone romance.

Creative Process Blog Tour

I'd like to thank the talented Lucinda Elliot, author of historical Regency fiction, for including me in this blog tour.

1. What Am I Working On?

I'm just about to start writing the third book in the Billionaire Brothers romance series, featuring Cole.

2.  How Does My Work Differ From Others In Its Genre?

Hmm ... that's a hard question.  My last seven romances have been about BBWs (big beautiful women) finding love with their very own hero.  My romances have been described as sweet and sexy. I don't have swearing in my books (except for an occasional "hell" or "damn") and I hope my readers find my sex scenes tasteful but hot :-)

3.  Why Do I Write What I Do?

I've spent the last 26 years reading romance, and when I bought a Kindle in 2012, I read a lot of erotic romance on it :-) and came to the conclusion that I wanted to share my stories with the world. Seduced by the Boss was my first series (erotic romance), then I decided to try the sexy contemporary romance genre, and I've been happily writing my sexy contemp romances ever since.

4.  How Does My Writing Process Work?

I only have limited time for writing, so I try to write a minimum of 1,000 words per day, five days per week.  I found Rachel Aaron's Kindle book, From 2k to 10k : Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love helpful in this regard. When I'm approaching a deadline, I do write six days per week to make sure my book is finished on time!

Since he’ll only assist her if she agrees to marry him, Laura becomes a whirlwind bride. Since one of Alex’s conditions is they have a real marriage, she risks her heart by falling in love with the enigmatic billionaire.

But will she ever discover the real reason Alex proposed? Could he ever fall in love with a curvy girl like her?

You may also enjoy The Cowboy’s Runaway Bride (BBW Romance - Billionaire Brothers 1).

EXCERPT:

““The bed’s comfortable.” A sexy grin rumpled the corners of his mouth. “I come here whenever I can get away from the city.”

Alone? Laura wanted to ask, but didn’t, in case she didn’t like the answer. A sudden thought occurred to her. What if … what if their definitions of marriage differed?

“Alex.” She licked suddenly dry lips, barely aware that he’d caught the small movement and turned all his attention on her. “When … when you said a real marriage …” she paused. This was so awkward. Why on earth hadn’t she thought of this before she’d married him?

“I meant a real marriage.” He pulled her towards him, until there was barely an inch of space separating their bodies.

Finding it hard to think, let alone breathe, Laura tried again. “Yes, but what about … other people?”

He scowled. “There won’t be any one else in our marriage, Laura,” he said firmly. “Just you and me.”

Relief flooded through her. “Okay,” she whispered, allowing herself to relax in his embrace.

The next instant, he tightened his arms around her. “I hope we’re clear on this point,” he growled.

“Very,” she managed to utter, before he kissed her.

His lips claimed hers, his tongue demanding immediate entry. Surrendering with a small sigh, Laura curled her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss …”

EXCERPT

"Half an hour later, they rode back to the barn.  “You don’t want to overdo it for your first time.”  Garrett dismounted easily and tethered the horses to the post, then came to help her down.  “Take your right foot out of the stirrup, swing your leg over, then place your right foot on the ground.”

She tried to obey his instructions, kicking her right foot out of the stirrup before swinging it backward.  Clenching the horn with a death-grip, she hovered in the air, her left foot still in the stirrup and her right hand grasping the back of the saddle.  She didn’t think she could do it.  Wobbling slightly, she sighed in relief when Garrett’s strong arms wrapped around her waist.

“I’ve got you,” he murmured, his warm breath brushing her neck.  A shiver raced down her spine.  He helped her off Prince, untangling her left foot from the stirrup.  She turned to him, a little dizzy. 

“Thank you.”  She looked into his dark brown eyes, wanting to melt into their depths.  Despite her best intentions, she was definitely attracted to this man.  But what did he feel about her?

“You’re welcome.”  He gently smoothed her hair back from her face.  “You might want to take a bath tonight, since you’re not used to horse riding.”

She gave the briefest of nods. Her eyes remained locked on his.  She didn’t want to do anything to break the sensual spell.

Garrett’s hand touched the small of her back, his thumb caressing her spine, urging her to take a couple of steps closer to him.  She obeyed willingly, her heart thudding with anticipation.

He gazed down at her, threading his fingers through her hair.  She held her breath as his lips descended, until they were only a heartbeat away from hers.  “Maddie,” he murmured.

She waited for the touch of his lips …"
