So this thing happened. See, for years I wanted a blue BMW convertible. And in my head, I felt like my big 6-0 (I don’t want to talk about it) birthday might be the magic birthday. I even shopped around, and found one…but the price was too high. So…I said. Nope. Lord, if you want to give me a BMW convertible, that great. But I’m done shopping.
And then…well, the story is that God was working behind the scenes, (and hubs was also at the helm) and…well, guess what I got for my birthday!

Now before you get too excited, it’s about 8 years old and I got a sweet deal, but driving around with the top down? Pure joy.
And you know what else is pure joy? All the fun stories I worked so hard on last year…coming at you, my favorite readers, this year!
Speaking of fun in the sun (literally!), let me give you the rundown:
THE BLUE OX BOYS are finally getting their spotlight! Sarah and I are bringing you two (possibly 3!) Minnesota hockey romances this year—The Not So Neutral Zone on February 27th and Don’t Cross the Blue Line on June 30th. Think guarded hockey heroes meeting strong heroines who refuse to settle, clean romance with sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, and transformation that’ll make you cry (the good kind!). Because some second chances are worth the risk. 
Book one is up for early access in the Sunrise Shop!
