My debut release!!

Woohoo!! To say I'm excited that my Harlequin debut is being released today has to be the understatement of the year and it's only February :D

I received the email from my agent back in May 2012 telling me Harlequin Superromance wanted to contract my romantic suspense novel, 'Finding Justice'. I was writing outside on what was a very warm and sunny day (a near miracle here in the UK), and I literally danced a jig on my patio, all alone and blissfully happy. The dog shot up from his doze and starting barking like he was warning the neighbors I'd lost my mind.

Since then, Harlequin have contracted a second book in what I hope will be an ongoing series. 'A Man Like Him' will be released in August and centers around the Chris Forrester, who is the brother of the heroine in book one. As well as these two books, my editor has already requested a proposal for book three and a synopsis for a Christmas 2014 story too. The link that runs through the books is they are all romantic suspense and set in the fictional UK seaside town of Templeton Cove.

It's a dream come to true to be published with Harlequin and even better, to have an ongoing series planned blows my mind! I love the new family of authors I am coming to know here at Harlequin. I am learning so much from these generous group of writers who are so willing share their knowledge.

Happy Release day to my fellow authors this month - let's celebrate!

Finding Justice - first in the Templeton Cove series...

Old friends, new secrets 

Sergeant Cat Forrester lives by her own set of rules. When her childhood friend is murdered, Cat's world is thrown into chaos. Especially because Jay Garrett-a man from her past-is a suspect, and he needs her help to prove he's innocent. After all they once shared, how can she say no? 

The attraction flares between them, and getting involved with a suspect is a huge risk. But the more time Cat spends with Jay, the stronger the tug on her heart. He is the same caring, irresistible man she remembers. Yet she can't let her emotions interfere with the case—solving it is top priority. But as she digs deeper, she discovers Jay has secrets that may jeopardize any possible future together.
