Love for Hire

She needed a fiancé — immediately! Julie Marshall didn't know what to worry about first—her sister's approaching marriage to the only man Julie had ever loved, or the fact that her family wanted her American "international financier" fiancé to attend the wedding. Why had she ever invented such a man? But the Fates were smiling. There, right in her London bakery, under her very nose, was Robert Baxter asking her for a date. And Robert was an actor—an American actor. What started as a simple business arrangement soon became personal . . . and anything but simple. Because Robert's performance was all too convincing!

I'm the author of seventy-something novels, including romance, women's fiction and mystery. When We Were Sisters debuted in June 2016, a stand alone novel about two foster sisters traveling back into their past together. I loved writing it and love the cover my publisher chose. I'm also excited about my recent series, Goddesses Anonymous, which started with One Mountain Away and was followed by Somewhere Between Luck and Trust. The third book in the series, A River Too Wide, came out in July 2014. The Color of Light debuted in August 2015. Will there be more? We'll see. I'm also putting up my newly edited romance backlist and love re-reading and updating them a bit. Last year my husband and I moved from Virginia, to Osprey, Florida, the state where both of us were raised, met, and married. In the summer we live in Chautauqua, New York. I'm a quilter, knitter, kayaker, and the mother of four children, whom I regard as my greatest creative endeavors. And now there are four wonderful grandchildren to spoil.
