Lily The one time I do something irresponsible it blows up in my face. Two pink lines, the word pregnant mocking me, a blue cross… twenty-six pregnancy tests in total, all screaming the same thing at me - Girl, you’re pregnant AF. The problem was, I wasn’t sure Tate even remembered our night together. There was no question in my mind, I was keeping my baby. The only issue was - I needed to break the news to him, too. I had time to figure out the way I was going to do it, how hard could it be? At least, that was my plan until my best friend revealed the news to the entire bar… including the man in question. Tate I’d been trying to figure out a way to ask Lily out ever since she’d moved to town and taken over her grandad’s bar. Apparently, car problems, man problems, and a couple bottles of Johnny Walker were the cure for that – or the accelerant for stupidity. The only proof I had when I woke up that our night together hadn’t been a dream was the pair of her panties in my shoe. How they’d gotten in there, I had no clue, but that pink scrap of lace was the best thing I’d ever seen because it made what had happened real.. The situation with my cousins got in the way, and I was frustrated I still couldn’t remember every detail from that night by the time I came home to Gonzales County . Then, I walked into the bar and smelled her perfume as she passed me, and all of it came flooding back. That wasn’t the best part of the night. No – that was finding out I was going to be a dad, just as some twat punched me in the face. I wish I could say I was sorry, but I wasn’t. Now all I had to do was convince Lily to take a chance on me.

I’m a British author who grew up all over the world. My parents were diplomats, so we were posted to all of the corners of the earth and it was a blast. Some wouldn’t seem so awesome if you heard about them, but my parents always made it a fun experience and it molded my brother and I into who we are today. I live in Wiltshire in the west country of the UK. At random times of the day, I’ll hear a moo from the fields around me, or get a whiff of that…uhhh…’country air’, and I love it! I might not have grown up in the UK, but I’m a British girl to the bone (regardless of the suspicious whiffs coming in from the fields). I’m a single mother with a son who is nearing his teenage phase. Maybe he’s reached it early? Who knows. But he’s awesome and has a personality and sense of humor that I can only attribute to my family. We’re slightly bonkers, we have a wicked sense of humor and we find the positives in every situation. I’m so proud to be his mum and to watch him grow and mature. Writing was something that I’d always done. I had a teacher in the third grade who always set us the task of writing a story and making it into a book every weekend. After I left school, I kept this up and wrote as often as I could or just plotted out books. This evolved into me taking the plunge and publishing my first book in 2016 and I’ve been typing ever since. I’m proud to be an Indie Author, and I absolutely love writing out my crazy Providence characters and the more complex ones in my other series’. It doesn’t matter if it’s romantic comedy or something with more suspense – so long as it has a HEA I’ll do it! I’ve got so many more planned, so the best is yet to come.
