After a painful betrayal, Allegra Smithson leaves New York City for an unknown future. Bold and resourceful, she is determined to forge her own path. Baird Macrae is suffering from the grief and guilt of a tragic loss, though you wouldn’t know it by his broad smiles and carefree manner. When an innocent mix-up at a traveler’s inn has the two of them waking up in the same bed, desire burns hot and fierce before Allegra comes to her senses. But it’s not the last they see of each other. As the brawny Scotsman sets out to convince her they are destined for each other, Allegra must determine if he is worthy of her trust, her desire, and her heart. Previously published in the Once Upon a Christmas Wedding anthology

My love of romance began one summer when I was thirteen and complained of boredom. I ended up with one of my mother's Barbara Cartland books and an obsessive interest that expanded from there. My affinity for writing began with sappy pre-teen poems and led to a Bachelor's degree with an emphasis on Creative Writing from the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities. I love pizza, wine, and dark brooding heroes! With a husband, three kids, and two dogs at home, it can be difficult to find the time (and the motivation!) to write. But somehow the words keep showing up on the page. I am endlessly grateful to the many wonderful readers who enjoy my books and ask for more!
