Estranged lovers, a cabin in the woods, a record-breaking blizzard, and the burning anger of their big misunderstanding to keep them warm… Rocco Lombardi was happy to follow most family traditions, from taking over their acclaimed restaurant to marrying his high school sweetheart. They even set the date. The only difference was that instead of a future wife, Rocco’s heart belonged to Nino Bianchi. Or it did before Nino’s betrayal nearly cost him everything. Refusing to lose his family’s legacy, Rocco pours all his anger into saving their restaurant, Lo Stivale, but the arduous process does nothing to diminish his pain. With the date of their now-cancelled wedding fast approaching, all he wants to do is run away. When a friend offers the keys to their cabin in the woods, it seems like the perfect solution—even with the possibility of an impending blizzard threatening to extend his stay. Too bad he’s not the only one seeking refuge from the storm.

Like many readers, the dream of being a writer has been with me a long time. After three decades of trying, I'd begun to doubt. Thanks to social media, I followed my favorite authors hoping to glean some words of wisdom as I pounded out half-formed ideas with alarming regularity. Two repetitive themes emerged: To be a great writer you must read a lot and your butt must be in the chair every day like it's a job. The more you write, the easier it will be to write and the better you will be at writing. I took that advice to heart and write every day. With three series in the works and counting, it's been amazing to have made this dream my reality. I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics and happily ever after. I'm a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families, biological or chosen. All are themes you'll find throughout my books.
