Coming Releases & Works In Progress

Chill Out! Josey

The sequel to Everything’s Coming up Josey – Josey’s back, and headed back to Russia.

Only problem – she’s pregnant. And, uh, hasn’t mentioned it to her husband. Which is why she finds herself three months later wearing worn out yoga pants and waddling onto the subway. I pulled every single crazy “Pregnant while in Russia” (I did it twice!) experience and put it into this book – from caviar cravings to the Bus Lady Incident. More than that, this book is about what it means to love someone – especially when they’re not doing a very good job of loving you back. Is Josey up to the task of living in Russia, again? And just what will it cost her?

Yeah, more honesty, more craziness, more Josey. December 2007!

Taming Rafe

What happens when a down-on-his-luck bull-rider meets a society girl with a mission to save the world…or maybe just Rafe? When Rafe Noble eviscerates Katherine Breckenridge’s charity event, costing her foundation hundreds of thousands of donations, Katherine heads west to call him on his crimes. Rafe owes her, and big, and if he’s not going to dig it out of his pocketbook, then she’ll figure out another way to make him pay. But Rafe’s broke – in cash, and spirit, and in no condition to listen to the bleeding heart hoity-toity hotel heiress who wants to suddenly play cowgirl. Until he discovers that there’s more to Katherine than he realizes. And Katherine – well, can she really tame a bull-rider? And what will it cost her? And John and Lolly are back, harboring delicious secrets and a hearts longing to be mended. Yeah, this was a fun story to write – I let my inner cowgirl out to play! Even went to New York on the hottest day of the year (not a pretty picture when a forty-year old plays in the fountain in Battery Park!) for some hands-on research.

Taming Rafe comes out in January 2008 (REALLY sorry for the wait!)

As Wise as Serpents

The Mission: Russia team is back – Vicktor and Gracie (In Sheep’s Clothing), Roman and Sarai (Sands of Time) and now David and Yanna find themselves on a wild chase to save her sister, and their lives. I sent them this time to…Taiwan! Andrew I visted there years ago and the image of my hubby eating fried Squid on a stick is one that is forever burned into my memory – along with the smells of tea eggs, and fried sweet potatoes, and smell of incense. I loved Taiwan – the island is one giant city that never sleeps, and it seeps into your pores. When Yanna’s little sister gets kidnapped on her way to America, Yanna is hot on her trail – until she gets mixed up with David’s undercover operation to take down the Twin Serpents, a Chinese organized crime syndicate. David’s been hopelessly in love with Yanna for years – and so I made him choose between his mission, and Yanna! What’s a patriot and soldier to do? Gracie and Vicktor are also back…and Gracie’s in trouble, again. Of course. But can Vicktor really help her from three billion miles across the ocean?

As Wise as Serpents comes out in Summer 2008.
