The first book in my new Special Edition series, Celebrations, Inc., hits the shelves on Saturday! The release of these books has been in the works for so long, at times it felt like release day would never come. Finally, it’s almost here!
The other two books in the series will follow on October 1 and November 1. In the meantime, I thought we should have a party to celebrate. Tell me what you’re bringing to our virtual soiree, and I’ll pick one lucky winner to receive a copy of TEXAS WEDDING!
While we mix and mingle, here are the covers and a little bit about each book…
TEXAS WEDDING available September 1, 2012
Well, maybe not exactly. But just when unlucky-in-love AJ (that’s Agnes Jane to you!) had decided that she was going to focus on her career as a caterer and keep her mind off men, that’s when fate sent her a delivery she couldn’t ignore. In the form of Sergeant Shane Harrison, bearer of French chocolates, and newly arrived for a short-term project. And though clearly the good sergeant was as attracted to the lovely caterer as she was to him, Shane made it clear that when his job was done, he was outta there….
So now AJ has a project of her own—convincing the handsome footloose soldier that though he’d planned to breeze through town on his way to his next adventure, falling in love is the biggest adventure of all!

TEXAS MAGIC available October 1, 2012
If Caroline Coopersmith had her way, she would refuse to run the family firm. She wouldn’t
put up with her sister’s bridezilla antics. She would sign on as Celebrations, Inc.’s full-time pastry chef. And just this once, she would treat herself to something better than Belgian chocolate: a night of bliss with her sister’s best man, journalist Drew Montgomery.
For Drew, the foundation of a good story is fact. And when it comes to Caroline, the facts are easy: she makes him feel electrically charged, and he can’t stop daydreaming about a future with her. Drew has never believed in love at first sight…until now. If he gives in to Caroline today, will she make room for him in her heart tomorrow?

TEXAS CHRISTMAS available November 1, 2012
Busted! When Pepper Merriweather’s superwealthy daddy is arrested for fraud—and the family fortune is kaput—just before the holidays, Pepper suddenly finds herself in need of a job. Despite her high-society connections, no one wants to give her a chance—no one except gorgeous billionaire recluse Robert Macintyre. When he proposes a position that comes with more strings attached than a symphony orchestra, Pepper knows it’s an offer she should refuse. But beggars can’t be choosers. Besides, Pepper knows she has what it takes to rise to the challenge—but does she have what it takes to keep her hands off her irresistible new boss?

Sweets would have to be on the menu as our heroine is a caterer. So, I’ll bring chocolate covered strawberries, a delicate chocolate mousse and bottles of chilled champagne. The novels, one after another, calls for a toast. Three cheers and congratulations on your new “babies.”
