A stolen artifact. A treacherous mountain…

And a killer who won’t let them escape

Nicole Witten didn’t expect to inherit trouble along with her late uncle’s property. But after digging up an ancient sword in her garden, she becomes part of a decades-old heist—and the target of a dangerous thief. Now trapped in the Poconos with her dog, Waffles, Nicole must partner with Detective Troy Hollenbeck to survive the perils of the mountain…if the killer doesn’t catch them first.

Want to watch something fun?!? Harlequin asked a select group of authors, “What makes a good thrilling story?” and filmed their answers. I was lucky to be chosen as a part of that group!

This video is a montage of answers to that question. I’ll admit, I didn’t realize my face was so intense when I talked about conflicts. *laughing hysterically*

I have an exciting announcement!!!!

Drum roll, please…….

I just signed a contract with Harlequin!!!! Woot! Woot!

This new story will be part of a limited series called, Inspirational Mountain Rescue, and will be published under the Love Inspired Imprint. I don’t have any release dates or other details at this time, but as soon as I know more, I’ll pass it on.

I’m so stoked.

For fans of the SBG books, I realize this is a bit of a change, but never fear. I have not stopped writing Romantic Suspense. I couldn’t pass up this opportunity and hope to write multiple types of romance in the future.
