My current Harlequin Presents Extra, Say It with Diamonds is out now in the US. It's is the story of Bella, a successful jeweller who has a yearning to settle down, and Will, an aristocratic day trader who has a deep-rooted fear of commitment. Throw in a barmy mother, a dodgy aunt and an even dodgier jewellery collection (not to mention a pair of handcuffs) and the result is a bit of a rollercoaster. I adored writing this story and it was one of those rare (at least for me!) but fabulous times that the story just seemed to flow. I hope you love it as much as I do.

You can find out more details - such as the blurb, the inspiration for the book and an extract - by clicking on the cover in the sidebar or here. To read the whole of Chapter One, click here.

Also hot off the press is the news that my next book, out in the UK in September, will be called The Couple Behind the Headlines, which sums up the story of Imogen and Jack (who made his first appearance in my first book, Bought: Damsel in Distress) perfectly.

I'm now working on revisions for my latest story. This one is set in southern Spain's sherry country (which is where I live), and features a heroine with burnout, a woman-weary hero who just wants a weekend of peace, and a hardback illustrated copy of Don Quijote. Things are getting really quite steamy beneath the hot Andalucian sun!
