mid-January. While snow piles up to her windowsills, she cyber-stalks the blue skies and pink houses of the Southwest.
She used to be an English teacher, a certified black belt, and a cool-car driver. Then…twins. Now she swills caffeine while driving the one vehicle she swore she’d never own—a minivan. It sort of hurts even to admit it.
Her debut novel, a cozy mystery, was a Golden Heart® finalist, and her debut romance, Accidental Cowgirl, is a USA Today bestseller!

Chapter 1
“Don’t stop,” Saint Markham said, groaning, sure he’d explode if the sexy redhead stopped doing what she was doing. He was going to explode if she kept going, too, so either way, he was in for the ride of his life. Cameron Dix was sweet, she was hot, and she was driving him mad, stroking him with sure hands, every once in a while tantalizing him with a flick of that sexy pink tongue he’d been staring at for months.

Neither of them had ever mentioned the new tension, but it was there. They’d always observed professional distance, not only in that respect between people focused on their jobs, but in their silent agreement to agree to disagree on Mayor Judy’s team of female bullfighters that was designed to grow Hell. But now they had distance that felt awkward.
Distance was a good thing. Underrated, especially when it came to a certain redheaded fireball with giant opinions and a sexy ass guaranteed to stop traffic.
