The True Romance series - the first series based on real-life love stories! An online dating service is not Michelle's idea of how to find love, but when the Big 3-0 hits, Michelle decides she has nothing to lose since she hasn't brought a date home in ten years, is professionally burned out, and her climb up the corporate ladder has come at the expense of abandoning her to own a boutique cupcakery. Todd isn't exactly a player having been off the market for ten years and decides to give Match.com a try. He isn't so sure the Internet dating scene is his thing - until a message pops up in the early hours on a weekend 'I like your smile.' Todd likes - a lot - the whole package that glides into a French bistro in Washington, D.C. But there's a Todd and Michelle live in different cities. Will love find its way? And when Todd challenges Michelle to not only go for her dream but let him share it, will they be able to make it happen together?
Author
I often read of or hear about authors who knew they were meant to tell stories from the time they left the crib. Me? I didn't decide what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was thirty years old - and then sold my first book at thirty-four. Still, it was obvious that I always knew I was going places. Like so many other authors, I was a voracious reader from day one, devouring everything from Nancy Drew to My Friend Flicka, which I remember sitting hovered over the heater vent in the kitchen floor to read while my father made his coffee. I moved on to my mother's Phyllis Whitney, Dorothy Eden, and Mary Stewart gothics before discovering my first true romances written by Lucy Walker and set in the Australian Outback. And then, at last, when I was 18 I found 'The Flame and the Flower'. (My son almost spent his life as Brandon because of that, but I spared him and named him Casey instead!) Why write romance? Because love stories have always been a major part of the books I've loved. Father Ralph and Meggie Cleary. (I did name my daughter Megan after reading The Thorn Birds! Do you see a trend here?) The aforementioned Brandon Birmingham and Heather Simmons. Wolf Mackenzie and Mary Potter. Even more so, it's because I love writing romance heroes. The men who sweep both heroines and readers off their feet - not to mention their authors, too! I've spent several years happily writing action adventure romance for Kensington Brava along with hot and sexy series romances for Harlequin Blaze. Now I'm thrilled to be a launch author for Vows.
