#ManCandyMonday Joe from ROOKIE OF THE YEAR #99cents #SportsRomance

Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great day! Today’s Man Candy is Joe Fernandez from ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. I love baseball and it was such fun to write a story that gave New Jersey it’s own Major League Baseball team.

I also loved that this was a story about an older professional woman, Alicia the trainer, and how she deals with falling in love with a younger man.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR is specially priced at 99 cents until the end of this week. The sequel, A WINNING SEASON, will be out before the end of the year.

#ThrowbackThursday 2015 New York City Christmas

Today’s Throwback Thursday isn’t that far a throwback – just to this past Tuesday when we did our annual jaunt into New York City for the Christmas decorations. The video below is of the window displays at various New York City department stores – Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Sak’s and Bergdorf Goodman. We had a blast this year and I’ll be sharing more photos/videos shortly! Click here if you can’t see the Christmas Window video below.

#ThrowbackThursday My Dad

I’ve posted lots of photos of other family members, but not my dad. A lot of people say that I look like him and in this photo, I can kind of see the resemblance. My father could be distant and yet, amazingly romantic and sentimental. One of my most vivid memories of that was of one of the first times he took me to learn to drive. We were in a parking lot and I was tooling around when I heard a sniffle and saw him wiping his eyes. I asked him why and he said that it was because I was holding the wheel just like his dad used to hold the wheel.

I never really knew my dad’s dad. My dad’s parents were divorced and his dad had remarried and stayed in Cuba after all of us left. He died in Cuba when I was a teenager and I know my father felt his loss since it had been so long since he had seen him.

Anyway, here is a picture of my dad as a young boy.

#TeaserTuesday EMBRACE THE NIGHT Military Romance

EmbracetheNightIt was difficult for me to write EMBRACE THE NIGHT. The Army hero, Zack Taylor, is a below-the-knee amputee and imagining how he would feel as he returns to civilian life was tough. I also did a good amount of research to learn about how Zack would do some of the activities he used to do before he was wounded in battle.

It was also rough to handle the heroine, Samantha Whittaker. You met Samantha in ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE and she is as wounded as Zack, but just in a different way.

In EMBRACE THE NIGHT, these two find the strength to deal with their physical and emotional wounds through the power of love. I hope you’ll check out this new novella in the TAKE A CHANCE military romance series.

I’m happy to say that this story is also part of the awesome HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO box set that’s specially priced at 99 cents and also available through Kindle Unlimited.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to take a moment and say how grateful I am for all of you who take the time to come visit with me! Thank you! For all my American friends I want to wish you a joyful and peaceful Thanksgiving. I will be back on Monday!

#ManCandyMonday David Gandy

Lots has been happening lately, which is why I’m a little behind sometimes on posting. I’m tweaking a new proposal for a new agent. Very excited about that. The hero in the story, Jackson Pierce, is the sexy heir to a real estate empire. He’s all male with black hair and charcoal grey eyes. Lean and delicious.

If I had to pick someone to play him in a movie, I’d go with someone like the ever gorgeous David Gandy. David is an English model who has been in countless ads for Dolce and Gabbana as well as many other companies and has appeared in GQ and various magazines. He’s an advocate for several charities, a car lover and is a competitive race car and motorboat driver.

I could so picture him playing Jackson (Jax to her friends).
