Cover Reveal and Author Giveaways....

Hey everyone!


Long time, no post.


Yikes....sorry about that.


I have a few things to share with you today.


First up...


The cover reveal for WHEN LOVE INTRUDES.



And here's the cover copy for the book....


Toni Vincent’s last relationship ended with violence. Since then, she’s decided she’s better off without men. But when she finds her young seventeen year old neighbor, Nathan, unconscious and beaten, this is one man she can’t abandon. But helping Nathan means trusting Detective Brian Barnes, another man who hurt her in the past. It’s something she’s just not sure she can do.

Detective Brian Barnes has seen one too many criminals beat the system. He’s burned out and regretting a lot about his life. At the top of that list is how he dealt with Toni Vincent when he was wounded. At the time, he couldn't stand to look at himself, much less have someone he failed care for him. Now she needs his help and he refuses to fail her again. But keeping her alive requires keeping his heart out of it. Something not easy to do when trapped in a romantic mountain retreat, even if it is the safest place for Toni and her unexpected charge.

With danger around every corner, it’s hard to know who can be trusted, especially for three people who have been burned before. But they may just find the best family is the one not tied together by blood.

  7. Gerri, it should be out in October. It's with my betas right now and I'm hoping for an early October release, but that may be pushing all the different steps of publishing too much...
    1. with betas who I hope get the feedback to me within the next week or so.
    2. I rewrite according to feedback
    3. send to editor #1
    4. go through and fix edits
    5. go to editor #2
    6. more fixes from me
    7. proofreader
    8. formatter for e-book
    9. final cover from designer for print book

    It's a time-consuming process and all those people have other obligations so it can go really quickly OR really slowly. I'm crossing my fingers for really quickly...but you never know.....
