Ready for the next thing?

I have news of, well, NEWness.

Yup. There are new stories on the horizon, some closer than others. I hope you’ll be as excited about all my announcements as I am to share.

First up, I had mentioned at the start of the year that I planned to work on a new trilogy in the Heart Falls area. And I am (and it will end up a quartet—yay brain!!!) but that project needed a little shaking up and while it’s now started, it wasn’t the story that I fell into.

Turns out there were some wolfies calling my name.

 

WELCOME TO TIMBERWOLF LODGE!!

 

In book 1 you’ll meet the wild and outrageous Carter family—the large, interconnected wolf shifter clan who run things in Jasper, Alberta. You’ll also meet Cassidy Rundle and her two best friends, the lucky winners of a social media lottery that leaves them the owner-elect to a large Eco-lodge.

You guys—this book was SO much fun to write. I laughed so much, and I’m already diving into the rest of the series.

More on this, including the blurb and the buy links below. But first…!!!

 

RETURN TO SILVER STONE!!!

 

It wasn’t only the wolfies who distracted me from starting the Skyes of Heart Falls. Yes, I’m writing Dustin’s story right now. I thought it would take years to get to this point, but he nudged my shoulder and insisted he’s grown up enough, so I should get my shit together and start writing.

Okay, fine. 😉 The man has spoken, so one happily-ever-after, coming right up.

I hope to have A RANCHER’S VOW ready for you by February 2023. As soon as I complete the first draft, I’ll get preorders up then let you know. I hope you’re excited about this as well. (If you don't know who I'm talking about you have time to go start at the beginning and be ready! Check out A RANCHER'S HEART!)

VOW and Dustin's story be the end of an epic journey. We’ll have digital and print versions on release day.  Audio will also be produced, but might take an additional month or so to complete.

 

OR MAYBE NOT THE END, YET.

 

I will then get back to work on the Skyes of Heart Falls.

Book 1 will be A COWBOY’S BRIDE, and the quartet will feature heroines you’ve already met (and love!) like Tansy, Petra and Sydney. It will also introduce the sexy Skye brothers…and a lot more heat and mischief than we’ve had around the place lately. Ahem.

I’m so glad to have you on this journey with me. So pleased to be able to keep bringing you romance books to fall into.

Because a happily-ever-after is something we all deserve.

The Alpha Option

WIN A WILDERNESS LODGE!

Ready for the chance of a lifetime? Enter now to become the new owners of the Timberwolf Lodge located near Jasper, Alberta. You’ll have one year to meet the requirements and the lodge will be yours!

Small print: (very, very, very small print) 
Warning: Lodge may contain werewolves, fated mates, and tons of shifter pack drama.
Good luck, and have fun! Don’t die!

——- 

The learning curve just grew fangs and claws…

The out-of-the-blue opportunity to take over a wilderness eco-lodge in the Jasper wilderness is the fresh start Cassidy Rundle and her friends have been looking for. Except the roof of the grand Timberwolf Lodge needs fixing, the rental cottages need to be overhauled, and the seemingly incompetent caretaker who comes with the place is sexy enough to make Cassidy’s brain stutter. Still, she’s determined to ignore all distractions and make this work.

When Jace Carter discovers his auntie has given him the Timberwolf Lodge property, but not the building, he expects mayhem to follow. Now he’s back home, dealing with memories, multiple cousins, and an outstanding death threat from the local Alpha. (Also a cousin. Go family!) But nothing can compare with discovering his new “boss” is a petite woman with enough attitude to take on a bear—and she’s his fated mate.

Cassidy wants to reach for her dreams? Jace will be there to make it happen, even if that means taking over the Jasper pack leadership. Once he explains shifters to his very human mate…

Here’s a quick introduction to Cassidy’s and Jace’s story!!!

“This has got to be a misunderstanding,” Stephanie said. “We own Timberwolf Lodge.”

Jace made a circling motion with his hand. “Let’s talk about that. I believe you,” he hurried to reassure them before Cassidy could complain. “I’m a little shy on details.”

Okay. This was doable. Cassidy patted her pocket, reassured that her copy of the paperwork was there and real. “A few months ago, I saw a message on social media about a wilderness lodge in the Jasper area being given away. An older woman talked about all the things she and her husband had accomplished. but now that he was gone, she couldn’t do it on her own. She didn’t want to sell the place to some big conglomerate. She wanted it to go to people who would really appreciate it.”

Jace nodded encouragingly.

Cassidy shrugged. “It caught my attention. I was in a dead-end job. Stephanie needed a change, and her sister had to—” She glanced at Stephanie. Then back at Jace. “Well, never mind that. But we thought it was a neat idea. We’ve seen shows about stuff like this on Netflix before, and they were legit, so I entered the lottery.”

“Two weeks later this guy shows up on our doorstep with all the paperwork,” Stephanie said. Colour had returned to her cheeks, and she spoke with confidence now. “We gave notice on our apartment, sold what we didn’t want, and came here determined to meet the requirements.”

Blue eased a little closer to Stephanie, his posture relaxed. “You got requirements? And just so you know, this place was owned by our auntie, which is why we’re involved.”

That was a helpful bit of information. “Good. That means you guys will know who the caretaker is. Because, frankly, this place is a lot more run-down than we expected.” Cassidy stiffened her spine as she raised a hand. “But, like Stephanie said, we are going to meet the requirements. According to the paperwork the lawyer gave us, we have one year to get the lodge up and running.”

Jace glanced around and then winced. “Is there some monetary target you have to reach to prove you’ve accomplished that?”

“There’s a board that has to approve,” Stephanie offered. “The Wilson Pack, whatever that is. I think it’s an environmental assessment group.”

Jace lifted a hand to his face before redirecting his fingers to brush them past his nose and forehead and drag them through his hair. “Okay. That makes a lot of sense.”

“That’s good, but you still didn’t answer my question,” Cassidy pointed out. “Caretaker?”

Blue’s grin stretched from ear to ear. He reached over and patted a hand firmly on Jace’s shoulder. “Here’s your man.”

Drat. On one level, the news was a good thing. Jace was easy on the eyes, and Cassidy wouldn’t mind having him around to look at. But nothing she’d seen since driving up to the place had left a good impression of his work ethics.

She met his gaze straight on. “Do you suck at your job on purpose?”

His expression grew long-suffering while Blue laughed heartily in the background.

Jace shook his head. “I’d tell you it isn’t my fault, but I’m not sure you’d believe me. Let’s talk about how we go forward and make this work.”
