All the best,

I'm so excited to announce that The Secret Mistress Arrangement is a finalist in the Maggie Contest for Short Contemporary. Squee!! Winners will be announced in October.

Sorry for the long delay in updates, but wow, life is busy these days. I'm hard at work on book #7 (and 8 & 9 too), but I'll hold off on details for a little while. Don't want to jinx the story mojo by talking about it too soon.

There are a couple of new updates elsewhere on the site. My August Modern Heat (UK) is available now on the Mills and Boon website! Yay! You can read the blurb and an excerpt here.

I also have a couple of foreign covers to put up as Magnate's Mistress…Accidentally Pregnant is starting to be translated.

The website itself is about to undergo a complete transformation as we redesign and change a few things around. Please be patient with us — but the end result will be worth it, I promise!

For those of you who read The Millionaire's Misbehaving Mistress and wanted to know what happened to Evie, What Happens In Vegas… will be out in the UK in August! (It's available for preorder at amazon.co.uk) I’m very excited. (Evie’s story is set to be released in the US in early 2011.) I love this cover!

I also have the cover for my October Presents release, Boardroom Rivals, Bedroom Fireworks! And lookie at the lovely tag above my name…

And lastly, book six now has a title: Girls' Guide to Flirting With Danger. This book was a hoot to write; after all, when the country’s leading expert on divorce meets up with his ex-wife — who just happens to be a marriage counselor — yeah, they're both flirting with danger. Megan and Devin will be a Jan UK release (under the new Riva banner) and a March US release.

Sorry for the absenteeism — a book to finish and a move coming back-to-back has really eaten up my life. But I'm coming out of the piles of boxes to announce some very exciting news!

The Secret Mistress Arrangement is a finalist in the National Readers' Choice Awards in TWO categories: Short Contemporary and Best First Book. I am beyond thrilled and very honored. (And the finalist list is so impressive, I'm just tickled to even see my name up there with the others!)

Many thanks to CataRomance for choosing The Millionaire’s Misbehaving Mistress as one of its Reviewer’s Choice winners for 2009!

I’m still floating from the news that Magnate’s Mistress…Accidentally Pregnant! hit the USA Today Bestseller List at a very respectable #93! Added to the great reviews this book is getting, I have to say I have the goofiest smile on my face most of the time these days.

Oh, I’m so excited it’s finally February and Magnate's Mistress…Accidentally Pregnant! is on sale now! Yay! And, like that wasn’t enough, it debuted at #5 on the Borders/Waldenbooks bestseller list this week! I’m giddy. (Now I must roll all that excitement over into writing energy and get the new book finished!)

Boardroom Rivals, Bedroom Fireworks! is still available at the Mills and Boon UK site, and just went on sale on the Mills and Boon Australia site. Brenna and Jack will make their US debut in October. (I don’t know if I can wait that long…)
