Is it fall yet?

Jul 06, 2026 6:41 pm

Hello friends!

Is it scorching hot where you live? It sure is here in Utah. For the most part, I'm loving the weather, though. I'm a bit cold-blooded and happy to soak up all the sunshine. BUT I'm also stoked about fall. Why? Well, check out the cover reveal below! Last year, I had the opportunity to be part of a multi-author Regency series. This year, I've teamed up with an amazing group of ladies for a fall romance series called Rivals and Romance. And let me tell you, these books are SO FUN. Town rivalries, a goat mascot named Karen, and all the swoon—we can't wait to share them with you! Be sure to pre order your copy so you don't miss it!

If one cover reveal wasn't enough, I've got a second one! That's right, you can also pre order Framing the Viscount, the next book in the Apsley series. Check out both of these titles!

I also wanted to mention that I have an upcoming signing event. For those of you in Utah, you can stop by and see me at the Simple Books signing event in Tremonton on July 11th. Hope to see you there!

And one final bit of news. Falling for Mrs. Apsley now has an official release date of Aug 6th! That's just four weeks from today!

Tell me which season you prefer: fall or summer?

RELEASING SEPT 8TH

BLURB:

Even the messiest beginnings can lead to perfect happily-ever-afters…

Ally

As the daughter of a politician, I’ve spent my whole life behaving like a walking press release. Mom expects perfection, and I deliver: smiles, posture, and not a single hair out of place.

So, when I’m asked to babysit my twin cousins in small-town Iowa, I arrive armed with expert parenting tips and the confidence of someone pretending to know what she’s doing. Unfortunately, none of it prepares me for the consequences of momentary distraction…

And I get arrested.

By a ridiculously handsome policeman.

Thankfully, the charming Officer Griffin sentences me to community service rather than a jail cell. As long as word of my crime doesn't reach the dozens of news outlets covering Mom’s Senate campaign-and as long as I keep my heart in check-I’ll escape town with my record and dignity intact.

Riley

Working as a police officer in a rival town has branded me an outsider and strained my already-fragile family relationships. Still, protecting people is worth the cold shoulders and whispered judgments. Besides, the job comes with unexpected perks.

Like meeting another outsider.

Who I arrest for shaving a goat.

Specifically, the town mascot.

Allyson James is sweet, gorgeous, and completely unprepared when it comes to babysitting-which is why I suggest she volunteer at the festival to make up for her crime. If that means I get more time with her as her self-appointed probation officer, all the better.

But when Ally finds herself the target of a malicious threat, my convenient excuse for proximity becomes an opportunity to protect the woman who’s never seen me as an outcast.
