Hey friends! It's summer here at the southern New Jersey shore. Being the Garden State with lots of farm giving us have oodles of Jersey Fresh produce like blueberries, corn, tomatoes, cranberries, peaches, apples, and asparagus. My favorite fruit is watermelon. How about you?

I just sent book 4 in the Paranormal Hockey League serie, Bashful Pucking Bigfoot, to my editor so she can work her magic. It's a best friends/mutual pining story with a fake engagement and virgin hero thrown in. If that sounds like your sort of thing then you're going to love Ollie and Phoebe!

Have you picked up my latest release yet? Do you love small town shifter romance? The first Shifting Pines book, Landing Her Eagle released last month. Here's the cover and purchase link. This story features Daphne and Logan who you may recognize from the hockey stories. Their best friends to lovers romance takes place two years before Sexy Pucking Polar Bear so it's a blast from the past. Even though it's the most recent release it's actually the first book I wrote and it holds such a special place in my heart.

Book 2 in the Shifting Pines series, Claiming Her Cougar is up for preorder and releasing August 29. It's another blast from the past featuring Liam Morgan and Mallory Carter - yes, you know them from the hockey books but this is their story from around two years before Sexy Pucking Polar Bear. Theirs is a one night stand that accidentally becomes a co-worker secret no strings romance. Part of the story is based on a real life personal experience. Wait until you hear what that is! LOLOL. Here's their cover and preorder link -

Here's their blurb:

When fate (and a mouse) reunite a charming cougar shifter with his sexy Las Vegas hook up can they make what was a one time thing into something much more permanent?

Mallory:

No names, no details, no future. It was just a hook up one night in a Vegas nightclub. Who could blame me? The guy at the bar was just what I needed to scratch the itch a long romantic dry spell left me with. It did the trick and what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas…

Until a mouse went nowhere a rodent should go and reunited us six months later. Any thoughts of picking up where we left off vanished when I discover he’s a VP in the company I work for. I’ve worked too hard on my career to tarnish my reputation and risk my family’s respect with a fling that will have people thinking I’m sleeping my way through the executive team. The past is going to have to remain just that because there can be no future.

Liam:

Once I felt the curvy auburn-haired beauty against me and knew how sweet her kisses were I knew I wanted more. But she rushed away like a sexy Cinderella leaving me alone in the dark corner of a noisy nightclub with only her blue lace panties to remember her by.

I couldn’t believe my luck to have finally found her here in my hometown. However, my luck runs out when she refuses to date me because of my position in our company. Little does she know I have plans that will remove that barrier and change both of our futures.

Can I convince her to trust fate—and me—and give us a chance?

Claiming Her Cougar is a sexy, open-door, workplace romcom with a charming cougar shifter and the determined woman with mama drama trying not to love him.

The unofficial first book in the Shifting Pines series is Bigfoot Finds A Bride, part of the Monster Brides series and an Amazon exclusive for now. It's also connects with my Paranormal Hockey League series through Bashful Pucking Bigfoot. While you're waiting for Ollie and Phoebe, check out the story of their older siblings falling in love! Bigfoot Finds A Bride is a second chance romance with sexy Bigfoot shifter cat dad Finn and runaway bride Shelby looking for a place to be herself.

I'm taking a day or two off from writing to catch up on some author administrative tasks (writing this newsletter is one of them!) and then I'm diving into planning for my next story. It's going to part of the Monster Brides series and since I'm in my Bigfoot Era it's going to be Violet King, the younger sister of Finn (Bigfoot Finds A Bride) and Ollie (Bashful Pucking Bigfoot). I'll share more info once I have it. That means once Violet and her hero tell me what their plans are. You didn't think I was in charge, did you? LOL

Stay cool,
