Making a Guest Appearance

I'm making a guest appearance today on New York Times bestselling author Lisa Mondello's blog. Lisa is the author of the popular Dakota Hearts series, the Texas Hearts series, and the classic romance All I Want For Christmas Is You.

I'm answering questions about my writing process, the Royal Scandals series, and what I'm reading now (my to-be-read pile is a towering thing of beauty!)

Stop by right here, check out Lisa and her books, and feel free to jump in and comment on her blog.

The Wicked Prince is Here!

Elated to announce that The Wicked Prince is on sale TODAY, in your preference of paperback or e-book. For months, I've had e-mails and social media comments from readers asking for Prince Alessandro's story, so this feels like a holiday to me. Thank you!

If you’d like a peek inside the book, an excerpt is available on my website or using the Look Inside feature on either Amazon or iBooks.

"Shh." This time, when her lips touched his, he didn't hold back.

Want a look behind-the-scenes? Visit the Pinterest board with maps, location photos, and a look at the actors I’d cast as Prince Alessandro and Frannie. You’ll also see the original Humphrey, the inspiration behind Humphrey the Ironically Named Camel. He’s every bit as lovable in person as he is in the book.

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on The Wicked Prince!

PS: For those of you who prefer listening to your books, stay tuned. The audio version of The Wicked Prince is in production and will be available soon!
