Dane and Shana have one more mission with the odds stacked against them--and everything on the line...
Merry holiday season my romance loving friends!
If you believe in the miracles of hope and good-will, then the holiday season may resonate with you.
That's all Dane and Shana have on their side as there's a risk of them losing everything when they're dragged back into one final mission, one that's as personal as it can possibly get.
As I put the finishing touches on Beachcomber Christmas Miracle, I'm reminded why I love the main characters of the series, Dane and Shana, so much.
Beachcomber Christmas Miracle will be out on December 15th and I invite you to pre-order now as your treat for the holidays. A spectacular yet poignant final ending to the series will leave you warm and fuzzy--and needing to read the rest of the Beachcomber Investigations 12-book series if you haven't already. And if you have, this story may inspire you to read Dane and Shana's thrilling stories all over again.

The tree is finally up at our house. It's a real one for that wonderful scent! It's almost fully decorated.🎄➜➜➜➜
I know, I know--I'm terribly late. But in my defense, my left arm still only rises to half-mast at best.
Lucky for me, I'm married to the most considerate, giving and oddly funny man I know, and he's been a huge help--a hunky Christmas elf.💜😘🌲
In 😔 news, my older son won't make it home for Christmas after all. He's an adult and I understand, though I hope most of all that he has a wonderful holiday season and doesn't feel lonely. I promised to send him videos of the tree and decorations along with our love.
In the meantime, I'm optimistic that he'll be back in the neighborhood for good in the next few months.
Season of kindness and generosity
Don't forget to smile and help others who need it, give bigger tips to service workers and give the generosity of understanding and tolerance to those who are grumpy. This is a reminder to myself most of all to be my best and hope I can carry it on all year, all the time.
Please share your story of kindness in this season of good-will to all. I'd love to hear about it and want love to share your story here with everyone to make all our spirits merry & bright 💜

Beachcomber Christmas Miracle
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT!
*****
The man who’d been Dane’s friend for years stirred up a clash of emotions and warring responses from the reflexive desire to embrace him to the violent need to punch his far too neutral face. He gathered all the roiling feelings into a ball and commanded his cool to take control.
“What are you doing here?” Dane said. He shouldn’t be a prick because that’s not how he left things with Cap and it’s not how he wanted things between them now. But something had him on edge and he’d learned to trust his instincts.
Cap smirked, but not in his old friendly way. “Merry Christmas.”
Shit. Dane nodded and put out a hand in an attempt at redemption. A quick glance in Shana’s direction showed her poise in place. Her expression was cool and civil, yet screaming at Cap that he had something to prove. Dane’s admiration for his wife swelled to an all-time high and he tamped down the enthusiasm lest he and his cock embarrass him.
Cap took his hand and the tension that strangled the group at the entry door eased up. Ronnie shuffled between his two feet, reminding Dane of how the young man had been when they first met.
“Cap, I didn’t realize you were on the island,” Ronnie said. “I didn't know you’d be at the party.”
Dane recognized Ronnie’s message that he wasn’t responsible for the reunion set-up and Dane wondered who was.

"I have loved this series from the beginning but this book was probably my favorite so far. It had just the right amount of banter and tension between these two. Can't wait for the next book."

One night. That's all he asks. That's all she wants. Or is it?
I’m a girl on a mission.
That mission? Have a one-night stand with a stranger.

Everything’s going according to plan until Devlin Pierce steps out of that elevator.
We met at last year’s event and our chemistry was undeniable. Just when I thought something was about to happen between us, I caught him kissing someone else.
Now he won’t leave me alone and as much as I’m trying to fight it, the pull he has on me is impossible to resist. That’s when he makes an offer I can’t refuse.
