Do you need some Siesta time?

Siesta in Spain is now available! With fall weather hanging over us and Halloween coming, sit back and enjoy the warmth of Barcelona and Southern Spain!

Let me tell you a bit about the story because this one is really special. Remember Thomas Hunt from Wishing in Rome? His wife Carol died at the beginning of the book, which set off the events for Dana Shaw and Marshall Garrison, my couple in Wishing in Rome. But what about Thomas? He lost the love of his life. I just couldn’t let that alone, and I had to give Thomas a second chance at love! So here’s his story in Siesta in Spain where you’ll also meet Nita, the lady who just might inspire Thomas.

English teacher Nita Jeffries is stuck. She can’t move on from a brief fling with a grieving widower and decides to forget him by making the trip of a lifetime to Spain. Who can be sad in Barcelona, between the amazing markets, the whimsical Gaudi architecture, and the fabulous beaches? When she finds the perfect rental, she packs her bags, intent on savoring every moment of her vacation… and finally getting over the beautiful man who could never fall in love with her.

Widowed more than a year ago, Thomas Hunt is still grieving his wife. For 25 years, she was the only one for him, and yet, only months after her death, he had a brief encounter with another woman. Suffocating in guilt, he ended it badly—but he can’t forget the woman who made him feel such passion.

Then, on a business trip in Barcelona, he sees Nita Jeffries again. And this time, he can’t walk away. They embark on a whirlwind exploration of southern Spain, while they spend the nights exploring each other.

Can a two-week holiday heal Thomas’s broken heart? Or is this love affair destined to end when their Spanish siesta is over?

The summer sizzles on Santorini!

Memories of Santorini is here, just in time for summer reading! Finishing up the story made me itch for a trip abroad! I’m thinking Spain. Or a riverboat cruise. And of course, those locales will surely show up in a book! For now, enjoy Santorini!

There’s magic on Santorini, beneath the beautiful bougainvillea, under the blue domes, and in the enticing Aegean Sea.

Angela Walker spent three glorious weeks on Santorini after she graduated from college. Three weeks that changed her life forever. Thirty years later, it’s time to go back to that beautiful island and the warm blue sea, the only place where she was ever completely happy.

Thirty years ago, Xandros Daskalakis fell in love with a summer girl who came to his beloved island. When Angela had to return home, they agreed they’d meet in one year, and he believed he’d spend the rest of his life with her. But Angela never returned. Not for thirty years.

Now she’s back. And she’s brought her daughter with her. Suddenly they all have questions that could cause an eruption massive enough to destroy their lives. Or bring them the happiness they lost so long ago.

Take a holiday to the gorgeous Greek Isles and feel the magic for yourself in this later in life, second chance romance.

Let’s do a little Stargazing!

Taking a sleeper car cross country has been a dream of mine! I imagine sitting on the train with my laptop open, writing away, but so easily distracted by the gorgeous scenery. I dream about the wonderful meals and having a drink in the club car. What fun! So let’s take a trip with Guy and Marnie Slade in Stargazing on the Orient Express Book 5 in the Once Again Series!

Can a deluxe trip aboard the most romantic train in the world save their failing marriage?

 

As Marnie and Guy Slade head off for the vacation of a lifetime, traveling first class from Paris to Venice, on the surface, everything seems perfect. Until Marnie sees a strange text on her husband’s phone and all the fears she’s pushed aside about their marriage make her suspect he’s having an affair. So when she meets a famous actor—and realizes he’s flirting with her!—she can’t help but be flattered by the attention.

But Guy has his own suspicions about Marnie’s long work hours and her need to rush to the phone every time work calls. And now she seems to be enjoying the attentions of this actor far too much. With jealousy suddenly flaring between them, their passions are unexpectedly rekindled thirty years after their “I do’s.”

As they tour the magnificent Louvre and dine on gourmet cuisine in the Eiffel Tower, travel through the stunning French countryside, passing from the exquisite Austrian landscape and into the dazzling city of Venice, can the beauty and magic surrounding them entice Marnie and Guy to pledge themselves to each other all over again?

Take a holiday on a luxury train and do a little stargazing of your own in this later in life, second chance romance.

Holiday Romance Under the Northern Lights!

 

Under the Northern Lights, Book 4 in the Once Again series, is available now! You might have noticed that my heroes and heroines are getting older! This time I’ve stepped into the sixties! Gina has just turned sixty and Blake is sixty-five. And gosh, I do find him very sexy. I believe in the old adage that we’re not getting older, we’re getting better. Under the Northern Lights is a holiday romance set at Christmastime in the San Francisco Bay Area and the north of Norway. Many of you know I have relatives in Norway, and my husband and I have visited there often. So this is my homage to Norway! Enjoy!

Love under the northern lights at Christmas? Is there anything more romantic?

It's the second holiday season alone for 60-year-old widow Gina Maxwell. Though her grown kids are insisting she sell the too-big-for-one family home and her friends are telling her that 18 months after her husband’s death, it's time to start dating, Gina isn’t sure she’s ready for any of that. That is, until Blake Dunnell saves her from being hit by a bus while she’s Christmas shopping in San Francisco. This sexy silver fox is unattached, gorgeous, and mysterious—the perfect combination to jumpstart her dormant love life.

When Blake invites her on a Christmas trip to see the northern lights in Norway—and she tells him she can’t wait to go—pandemonium breaks out all around her. Her kids want to know how she could desert them at Christmas and accuse her of forgetting all about their father. Her best friends tell her she’s crazy to go away with a man she barely knows. But something in Blake’s eyes tells her that if she doesn’t take this trip with him, she’ll regret it forever.

Will this be the holiday of a lifetime? Or a disaster in the making?

Take a trip Under the Northern Lights and let yourself be dazzled in this later-in-life, second-chance holiday romance. Read an excerpt on the website.

Romance to get your feet tapping!

 

Dancing in Ireland, the next Once Again story, releases today!

If you’ve read the dedications in Dreaming of Provence and Wishing in Rome, you know from the dedications that I recently lost my mom and her very good friend within a month of each other. I wrote the first draft of Dancing in Ireland before Mom passed, and it’s been waiting there for me to edit. This book is so special to my heart because there’s so much of my mother in it, from the phrase “I’m a bit peckish” to games of Scrabble and Skip-Bo to the Silly Sausage Club. I hope you’ll find the story special too.

Here’s a preview!

When Rose Christopher’s entire world falls apart after losing her mother, her marriage and her home within a matter of weeks, she’s desperate for income and a roof over her head. So Rose takes a job as the live-in caregiver of a feisty 87-year-old widow named Agnes. Surprisingly, Agnes is a delight. Too bad the man who hired Rose seems so cold-hearted and rude.

Or is there far more to him than Rose imagines?

After his divorce, Declan Delaney claims he no longer has a heart. Except when it comes to Agnes. The successful, self-made businessman will do anything for his former grade school teacher, who inspired his lifelong love of learning, including ticking off the most important item on her bucket list—a trip to Ireland where her favorite movie The Quiet Man was filmed. And when he sees how Agnes and Rose bond, he knows hiring Rose was another excellent decision.

So then why is he feeling more than just professional satisfaction when it comes to Rose? And why can’t he ignore the way her quiet humor, caring manner, and the promise of her sweet, kissable lips keep drawing him back again and again?

With Rose and Declan whisking her off for the trip of a lifetime, Agnes packs her matchmaker hat in her suitcase. Can she help two people with mothballed hearts learn to dance together in Ireland?

When Wishes Come True!

Wishing in Rome, the next Once Again story, is releasing today! Rome is such a fascinating city, so much history. And I loved all those movies and series like I, Claudius and Rome and Gladiator about the ancient Romans. You’ll find Dana and Marshall love them, too, in Wishing in Rome. Here’s a preview!

It’s never too late for wishes to come true…

Dana and Carol, best friends their whole lives, planned the trip of a lifetime to Rome. They'd plotted every detail, from touring the Colosseum to throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain and making wishes. When Carol dies suddenly, Dana is bereft—even more than when her husband left her for another woman. Then a bequest from Carol arrives, telling her to take the trip to Rome they’d planned together. Dana sets out on the journey, determined to rediscover the woman she used to be and find the woman she wants to become. Carol’s final instruction is to make a wish in the Trevi Fountain. But how do you make an impossible wish for the only thing you truly want— to have your best friend back with you?

Marshall Garrison is all business, and so is this trip to Rome. But a chance meeting with Dana Shaw in the Colosseum changes everything. He doesn’t believe in forever-after love, but still, there’s something exceptional about this brave divorcée, gallantly traveling alone. He sets out to be her guide and her friend, but when he discovers her poignant story, he wants more— to help her believe in wishing for the impossible. And in the process, he might even remember that business is only a substitute for the things he used to wish for...

A later in life holiday romance that will take you away from it all...
