Twice Cherished

2017

I’d spent eight years of hard work, grueling hours and obsessive attention to detail into building Michaela Dawson Studio into the top choice of wedding photographers on Mimosa Key. But that was all I’d been successful at. No husband, no children, no happy ever after of my own. My short-lived marriage hadn’t gone the distance, but it had taught me a few things. Like how screwed up my priorities had been. And how crushing guilt and shame can haunt you mercilessly. Since then, I’d focused on becoming the person I wanted to be and not the impressionable young woman I had been. And I had a pretty good handle on it. Until he reappeared in my life. My first love. My first lover. The man I’d subconsciously measured all others by. All it took was one searing look, one electrifying touch, and my heart and soul were consumed once again. Still…shadows from the past hung darkly in my mind. No matter how much you love someone—or how much they love you—some secrets are too dark to admit and some betrayals too hard to forgive. Did I dare even try?

Levi repaired her damaged shoulder and offered to let her stay in the caretaker’s cottage on the estate he’d bought north of Casa Blanca Resort and Spa in exchange for dog-sitting his chocolate Lab, Hersch. and overseeing the repairmen who were rebuilding his house. Missy’s work ethic and organizational skills soon made her indispensable to Levi, and eventually, his new bride, Ella. It seemed there was nothing Missy could not conquer, even the quiet and very private local artist, Don Smith. He’s known on Mimosa Key as a talented painter of seascapes, a quality framer and the creator of the whimsical mural of moving vehicles in Dr. Levi Gould’s surgical suite. But there are secrets that Don has not revealed to anyone on Mimosa Key, including his real name and tragic past. He’s gotten close to Missy, physically oh-so-close, but has never told her the real reason he’s living on a small Florida coastal island. Until now. Here’s a seasoned romance that combines the magic of Hanukkah and Christmas, with a silver fox hero and a tough and talented heroine, a regal, disdainful cat and the beauty of a warm winter beach to serve up a sweet and sexy read that’s just purrfect for the holidays.

Divine Connection

2017

How much weight can you give your past…Without tipping the scales on your future? Sara Shaw can mix up the perfect blend of essential oils to transport her customers “to happier places,” much like the beachside community she’s escaped to after a series of traumatic events. Yet she can’t concoct the magical blend of time, space and distance to safely shelter her from her past and find a new identity in the future. Jackson Levy knows exactly who he is: An honorably discharged soldier back in Mimosa Key to run his dad’s surf shack. Not too impressive, but he tries to make the best of the situation. Thankfully, he was able to adopt his military working dog, Jax, after they were wounded in Afghanistan, which eased his transition back into civilian life. In between renting out beach bikes and snorkel gear to vacationers, Jackson strives to come to terms with this new direction in his life. Easier said than done with an outdated business and a drooping bottom line. But Sara has a knack for marketing and Jackson has a proposal that could benefit both of them. Can they mix their talents to discover the secret formula for success and love? Or will the weight of the past tip the scales against them having a future together?

A Navy Homecoming

2018

Once upon a time there was a boy who met a girl. They fell in love, got married and lived happily every after… Wait. Scratch that—at least the HEA, because in reality marriage is hard and being a Navy wife is harder and even lonely. So much so at times, that you think it’s better to walk away. Colette Thomas has spent the last ten years regretting that decision. Fate (and Uncle Sam) has given her a second chance. Too bad her ex-husband, Casey Thomas, wants nothing to do with her. She broke his heart once before and he’s not down with repeating the experience. Thankfully, fate (and friends) has stepped in and Colette and Casey find themselves sharing the same one-bedroom cabin at a resort in the Smoky Mountains. The easy thing to do would be to walk away, but the universe keeps throwing roadblocks in their way as does their stubborn temperaments. Forced to face their past, can they see the fine line between love and hate? Can they find the strength to forgive? And can they find the courage to take a second chance on love?

I’m a romantic at heart, having married my high school sweetheart, who is still the love of my life. While raising our two children, I was a “closet” writer and managed to complete four books. With the e-book explosion, I bottled up my courage and selected my favorite book, reworked the story line, and self-published “Elusive Obsession,” November 6, 2013. I like to create characters that the reader can relate to/with. Sometimes while writing a scene, I find myself laughing out loud at the hilarious situations I literally toss them into. They’re not perfect with beautiful bodies, they make mistakes, their not afraid to say I’m sorry, they are not afraid to compromise and they suffer all human emotions. Most important, they love with all their heart.. I like to read books with a “twist” or two in the storyline and you’ll find these OMG situations in my stories. They are stand alone books, but I bring the characters from the first book into the follow-up story. I’ve already got readers clamoring for the next book, “Maid to Order”, that centers around Russell, a character from “Elusive Obsession.” My characters also love to spend time in the kitchen and whip up their favorite dishes and treats. You’ll find a yummy dish or sweet from the books on my website: judykentrus.com. I hope you enjoy my books and I love to hear from my readers. Judy

I characterize myself as a contemporary culture junkie. Translated: I changed my undergraduate major from anthropology to American history when I learned I'd have to do field work (no air conditioning) to obtain my graduate degree, but I never lost my interest in observing current lifestyle trends. I'm a TV addict. Sitcoms are my real passion, sitcoms done well, with ensembles that click and witty writing that never fails to amuse. I love to bake chocolate chip cookies and spend my spare time playing Mah Jongg. In my former life I was a human resources analyst, so the jobs of my heroes and heroines almost become secondary characters in my contemporary romance novels. I was married on D-Day, June 6 (my degree's in history, remember), and have two incredible grown children and eight grandchildren who make life worth living. I spend my winters in Florida (my office allows a view of four palm trees) and my summers in my home state of Iowa.

She is also a past winner of the Emily Award for unpublished novelists. Kiersten graduated from Gordon College where she majored in both history and English, including a year's study at Oxford University, which means she's knows a little bit about a lot of things concerning people long dead. She also completed a minor in theater for which she performed a one-woman show. Kiersten graduated from New York University with a Master of Publishing. A member of the Romance Writers of America, the New Jersey Romance Writers, and the Long Island Romance Writers, Kiersten has been working in book publishing for more than twenty years in marketing and promotion. At other times in her career, she's worked back stage for a regional theater, managed advertorials for a commerce newspaper in the World Trade Center, and served as senior editor for a pharmaceutical advertising agency. Writer, singer, editor, traveler, tequila drinker, and cat herder, Kiersten avoids pen names since keeping her multiple personalities straight is hard enough work. As an adolescent, she cut her teeth on Woodiwiss, Lindsey, Garwood, McKnight, Devereux, Coulter, and other scions of the romance industry. She knew then, much to her mother's chagrin, that this was the world for her. Born and bred in New Jersey (and accent free), Kiersten sings as easily, and as frequently, as she breathes, drives fast with the windows down and the music up, likes to randomly switch accents for kicks and giggles, and would be happy to spend all her money traveling for the rest of her life.
