Author Note
Fun little trivia about this one … it’s actually my longest book! Not quite by choice; there was a contracted wordcount, and this particular editor held me to it.
It’s also one of those that people closest to me like the best out of all my books, so there must be something into that taps into my “real life” personality.
Personally, for me, this book is all about Seth. Some readers think he’s too ice cold, his temper too sharp, but … I think I was channeling the romance novels I grew up reading in the 90s where heroes could get away with being … a bit much.

A Little Excerpt
“Cold, am I?” he said, his breath warm against her cheek. “You sure about that?”
Brooke’s heart was thumping now, and she jerked at the door handle again. His big hand stayed where it was, keeping the door closed. Locking her in.
Her hand dropped to her side, and she inhaled. “Let me go.”
She saw his fingers flex slightly, as though wanting to remove his hand, but incapable of it.”
“I’m trying,” he growled.
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
