COVER REVEAL!!
My latest book will hit the digital world on August 12, 2013 and this time, I’m able to share some pre-release teasers! The links aren’t alive for pre-orders yet, but rest assured, I will let you know when they are!
“Real-estate tycoon Mitchell Granger has a problem. In order to secure a lucrative deal with an eccentric client, he told the teeny white lie that he was engaged…and now he needs to prove it. Even worse? The only name that came to mind was Sabrina Becker, the girl he was never good enough for growing up, and who still lives near his family ranch.
Sabrina doesn’t mind posing as Mitch’s fake fiancée—no, she doesn’t mind at all. One, she’ll make him pay with new construction for her business. And two, Sabrina’s got a plan to exact revenge on her first love, the boy who left her and Three River Ranch behind. She’ll pretend so well, he’ll fall in love with her…and then he’ll get a taste of what true heartbreak feels like.
But as Mitch sheds his corporate skin and picks up his dusty jeans and cowboy hat, will both his and Sabrina’s grand plans get derailed by love?”

Why I Spent Five Hours in a Walmart Parking Lot – and LOVED It!

So I was working on edits for my summer release with Entangled Publishing. Things have been crazy around here, so I was having some trouble. I know, I know, we’re ALL busy. I’m not claiming that my life is more hectic than yours, or that, to use the phrase coined by hubby and his coworkers, “my gash is deeper than yours.” (Yeah, yeah, I hear it.)
Anyway, I was under the gun, hoping to finish in a week.
Unfortunately, this particular week included painters, junk haulers, carpet cleaners, weekend meetings, and oh, FATHER’S DAY!!
I warned my family not to leave me alone when I was working. Don’t talk, don’t look at me, don’t call me unless someone was dying. (I was iffy on that. I mean, what am I going to do? If your number’s up, your number’s up.)
But still, every time I sat down, the phone rang. Or someone came to the door. Or a semi-urgent day-job message would pop into my in-box.
And. Then. The. Dog. Barked.
And it wasn’t a Good Doggy bark, like a full bladder alert, or a scary guy notification, or a bug sighting. This was a half-hearted “wwwuuuf” like she thought something should be happening, but wasn’t.
Our other two dogs are smart. (See Smart Black Dog, above) They understand words, vocal tones, body language. The right look and they fall to the floor, waiting for the apocalypse, sad but certain that I am the only thing keeping them alive.
But this one (sweet, loving and cute as all get out) is blank as an unpainted wall. She thinks that when you grab her scruff and yell SHUT UP, SHUT UP BEFORE I KILL YOU, it means “Hey! Treat time!”
So, defeated, I left the house and drove, yes, to Walmart where, for the five hours I worked in my car. Uninterrupted. Anonymous. Phone off. Perfect temperature, perfect light, perfectly quiet homeless dudes politely ignoring me.
And there, fuelled by Pop-Tarts and Vitamin water, I powered through to the end.
