The final two books in my Return to Indigo Springs series are scheduled for later this year, which will bring my total number of Superromances up to … drum roll, please … ten!

How's that for a timely milestone?

AN HONORABLE MAN is first up in May and features Sierra Whitmore, a family physician who has cameos in the last book. Her well-ordered world is upended when a handsome investigative reporter comes to town seeking answers to the decades-old death of his mother. That's because the name of Sierra's beloved father keeps coming up in his investigation.

The last book, coming out in October and titled THAT RUNAWAY SUMMER, is about a bartender hiding out in the picturesque Pocono Mountain town with her brother. Because she needs to be ready to run, she's determined not to get involved with any man, not even the veterinarian who's stealing his way into her heart.

The other three books in the series – A HERO'S SIN, A STRANGER'S SIN, A SECRET SIN – all contained the word sin. Not these last two. It's a new decade, after all.

Will of Her Own

One of the online serials I wrote for eharlequin.com is once again available on the site's archives. In WILL OF HER OWN, sexy Will Sandusky has earned his reputation as a ladies' man. So when Shea Sullivan, the "older woman" he had a crush on in high school, moves back to town just before Thanksgiving, he wastes no time in asking her out. But Will is no home wrecker, and quickly backs off when he learns Shea is pregnant with what he thinks is another man's child. Here's the link: WILL OF HER OWN
