The box set I'm in with nine other authors made the New York Times bestsellers list. We couldn't have done this without everyone, especially you, our readers. Thank you so much!

P.S. For those of you who are curious, we also made the USA Today list for the week as well. We hit #81. :)

So when will we find out:

• who's been embezzling the TLD money
• how Kerri's getting along with her family
• when Ethan and Kerri are getting married
• about Amandine and Gavin's married life
• and their baby
• etc?

I get asked this a lot via PM, email or comments. So I decided to make a simple chart:

All the books are fine as standalone novels. Yes, there are some plot threads that don't always get resolved (like the embezzler thread that spanned four books), but there is no cliffhanger that makes you wonder, “Will they or won't they stay together?”

I think you'll enjoy it more if you read them in order, but it's not necessary. I hope this helps. :)

Forever in Love (Hearts on the Line #5)

Many of you have asked me about who’s been stealing money from The Lloyds Development. The answer is revealed in this installment! :)

Description:

Catherine Fairchild fakes being perfect by keeping everyone at arm’s length. But her billionaire CEO husband’s bigamy shatters the illusory life she’s built, and vengeful in-laws want to send her to jail for embezzling from the failing family business. Desperate, she accepts an offer from a powerful friend: help him reconcile with his illegitimate son in return for protection. How hard can it be to dazzle a small town guy?

Small town bar owner Blaine Davis has zero interest in claiming his fifty million dollar trust fund or joining the family of a father he barely knows. He can never forgive his womanizing father for seducing his mother or forget the cruelty his father’s high-society wife inflicted on them. Catherine comes from the same rich and entitled background, but he starts to fall for her anyway. Can their fragile bond survive when the true reason for her presence in his idyllic little town is revealed and Blaine’s old wounds are re-opened?

Forever in Love is 372 pages long in print. Coming up next is Mark Pryce and Hilary Rosenberg this summer!

I found this interview with Steven Pressfield which I loved. It's not just about being a writer, so I think it applies to almost all of us. :)

Okay, several people asked me about Jacob Lloyd. Mostly about whether or not I'm going to write a story about him and redeem him.

At this point, the answer is no, I have no plans to redeem him. He's such a jerk — bigamist, stole girlfriends from his youngest brother just to feel superior, ran the family business into the ground and verbally abused his wife.

The other thing is I have no clue what kind of woman:

a. would want to be with him, and
b. could change / reform him.

He has so many unforgivable flaws, you know?

OTOH — a lightning might strike and I might come up with the most perfect woman for Jacob. So I won't say never, but for now, I have no plans to write his story.

If have any questions about me, my writing, books, characters or anything else, feel free to drop me a line by leaving me a comment, using the contact form or via Facebook or Twitter. I reserve the right not to answer if the topic happens to be politics or religion. But anything else is more or less fair game. Thanks! :)
