The Christmas Eve Kiss by Taylor Hart

But when she gets teamed up with Kevin Snow, aka her ex-boyfriend, to decorate a Christmas tree, things start to change.

Now Molly is left with a choice—run away from home and heartbreak or let Christmas work out a miracle all of its own.

Risking it all for Love by Award-Winning author, Kimberley Montpetit
Ever since her high school boyfriend's death from a car accident three years earlier, Jessica Mason and her hometown of Snow Valley, Montana with all its awful memories have NOT been compatible. Running away to New Orleans on a ballet scholarship, Jessica cringes when she thinks about confronting Pastor John and the community church--she doesn't want to talk about God, not after He took Michael, the boy she was going to marry ever since third grade.
In the local scene of funky New Orleans, Jessica seeks out Madame LaBlanc, hoping Michael will absolve her of her guilt the night of the car accident in a seance, but the spirit world is silent and she fears the grief will drown her.
Finally succumbing to family pressure, Jessica reluctantly returns for Christmas - and the little town of Snow Valley does Christmas BIG. When she visits Michael’s grave in the church yard, Jessica is shocked to meet handsome James Douglas, Pastor John’s nephew, who’s studying for the ministry. No, she is NOT going to be attracted to someone who wants to be a preacher! Definitely not compatible! But James Douglas is unlike any minister-in-training she's ever met. James can not only dish back Jessica’s finely-tuned sarcasm but understands grief all too well, turning Jessica’s world upside down.
Can Jessica forgive herself for that terrible, fateful night? Can she take another risk on love?

New Release--Romantic Suspense--The Real Thing

This book has been in the making for a LONG time--five or six years. I love the characters in this book and, sometimes, it takes an author longer to get to know characters...this is the case with THE REAL THING. They would start to do crazy stuff and I would think 'they can't do that' or 'that doesn't fit.' But--sometimes you just have to let them go! I would find myself getting out of bed to get a scene written so the characters would just shut up!:)

And now--at least for awhile--I can sleep.  Purchase it HERE!

Alexa Fulbright doesn’t expect the man she’s been trying to forget for the past 7 years to show up on assignment from the FBI…and she really doesn’t expect him to kiss her. 

Sam Dubois doesn’t want to be on this assignment, even though he requested it. He doesn’t want to see Alexa and he definitely doesn’t want to put away the thug she calls her boyfriend…but most things in life aren’t fair when it comes to her. 

After Sam shows Alexa proof that her boyfriend is a drug dealer with connections to the Columbian cartel, she refuses to believe it. Until a gun is pointed at her head and ‘said boyfriend’ puts a bullet in Sam’s shoulder. 

Now Sam has to get her out of dodge and Alexa has to make a choice—face the past or live a lie that could destroy her and everyone she’s ever loved. 

Blog Hop!

I've been tagged in a blog hop from Lucy McConnell...she is a fabulous writer and we have just co-authored part of a Christmas Boxed Set together --Christmas in SnowValley.

I love blog hops! It gives everyone a chance to meet other authors. Lucy's latest book Undercover Engagement had me on the edge of my seat!

Onto the questions--
1-What are you working on?
I wish so badly that I was one of those authors that could force myself to only work on one book at a time. Ugh! I try to discipline myself and finish books...but, as of right now, I'm working on a couple. There is a romantic suspense that will be out the end of this month called, THE REAL THING. No, I don't have a cover for you, either. Working on that as well. But--the short hook would be that it has a hot, ex boyfriend that's an FBI guy and he comes to help save Alexa from her very hot, current boyfriend--who happens to be part of the Columbian drug cartel. Lots of twists and tension and --suspense!

I'm also working on book 2 in the Hidden Falls Trilogy. This book focuses on Star's love story--and it has Beau and Richard in it--both vying for her attention.--Sigh. It's good romance. Really good! You'll have to read it to see what happens:)

2-How does your work differ from other works in this genre?
Hmm...that's a tough one. Honestly, I don't know. I love this genre and I try to make sure I'm heavy on the character development. I try to make sure that I have created towns that people fall in love with and want to come back to. I know, for myself, part of the fun of reading different author's books comes from seeing what is similar and what is different in the setting and the characters.

3-Why do you write what you write?
Because I love romance. I love thinking about that first kiss. That moment when the other person is the only one in the whole world that you care about. That moment when you realize that love has all power over another human being. That part that feels intoxicating. Yes, it's addicting. That's why I write it!

4-What's your writing process?
This is a simple question to answer...I outline, then I write, then I re-outline, then I write some more. Yes, sometimes it's quite a process. And, stop the presses, sometimes I don't outline at all. No! Say it ain't so!:)--yes, yes, sometimes I get that crazy.

More than anything I think the important part of the writing process is simply doing it. Putting words on the page everyday.

Who are we visiting next?  The fabulous...Jo Ann Schneider--author of New Sight and Babes in Spyland--she is stealth--like a Ninja...in fact, she is an actual black belt! Fighting is her game and she writes really amazing fight scenes! Check her out here.

Molly O’Hare gets the utterly ridiculous prediction that she will kiss her true love on Christmas Eve. But when she returns to Snow Valley and comes face to face with Kevin Snow, suddenly the kiss thing seems…a lot less ridiculous.

Now Molly is left with a choice—forget the home town and the boy that she never quit loving or let Christmas work out a miracle all on its own.

Happily Ever After: Book 1 in the Hidden Falls Trilogy--Cover Release!

I'm so excited to show you the cover of my newest book--Happily Ever After! Release Date: August 18, 2014!

Here's what it's about:

Charlotte Love doesn’t believe in fairytale endings or happily ever after. She doesn’t want it, either. She doesn’t need a man—especially to save her. All she wants is to forget about her ex and run her bookstore with her seven-year-old son, Sam.

Ryan Hardman is only back in this hick, one-horse town to get the deal done. No, he’s not back to make good with his two brothers. No, he doesn’t feel guilty for not being there for his mother’s funeral. And, no, he doesn’t care that Charlotte Love isn’t married anymore.
