Contemporary Romance
Date to be Published: 5/3/12



 Is going back Robyn’s only way forward?



American-born Robyn Matthers is going home. With her dad in hospital, his roadhouse in ruins and the ice hockey team slipping down the league, she needs to take charge. But does she have the strength to do it? 

Cole Ryan is a hockey player on a personal mission. He’s tall, dark, hot and Robyn’s noticed! But can she trust her feelings - or his? And what will Cole do when he finds out the truth about her?

Robyn returns to Michigan and things aren’t quite the same. Her best friend has grown up and is thinking about marriage and babies, the ice hockey team is no longer the life blood of the community and her father is engaged!

When Robyn’s twin cousins drag up past events that hold painful memories for her, she and Cole are forced together. But are either of them ready to start something new?

With an ill father, a trailer trash almost step-mom and ex-boyfriend Brad desperate for another chance, does Robyn have time to contemplate a relationship? Does she really want one? And is it physically possible for two people to fall in love in just three days?

Reading Addiction Blog Tours MEET and GREET


#1 – Do You See Writing as a Career?
Writing is most definitely my career now! But as much as I love writing, being an author isn’t just about making up the stories, you also have to be experts in social media and marketing. I love the social aspect of connecting with people but I do spend lots of my time chatting when I should be creating fiction!


#2 – What was the Hardest Part of Your Writing Process?
Editing! The fun part is making up the story, growing your characters and letting them lead you into their world. The hardest part is making it perfect, finding those errors and making it the best novel it can be. Having said that, editing is a necessity and it is satisfying when it’s finally at an end.


#3 – Did you have any One Person Who Helped You Out with Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
I am blessed to be part of a whole team of people at Loveahappyending.com. We are an interactive reader and writer group who support each other on social media and beyond. All featured authors and associate readers have provided me with amazing support over the course of my writing journey so far.

#4 – What is next for your writing?
At the moment I am working on a new novel called ‘Security’. This is about a pop princess, Autumn Raine, and her newly appointed bodyguard and ex-Special Services soldier, Nathan Regan. Autumn’s received kidnap threats ahead of the International Music Awards and almost everybody has a motive. It’s a little shift for me as it sits firmly in romantic suspense.

#5 – Do you have an addiction to reading as well as writing? If so, what are you currently reading?
I do have an addiction to reading, more so now than ever. I love to read contemporary romance but I’ve also been reading Loveahappyending.com authors and other authors from Sapphire Star Publishing. At the moment I am reading Fire on the Island by J K Hogan. It’s brilliant!

This or That?

#1 - iPd or Mp3? IPd

#2 – Chocolate or Vanilla? Chocolate

#3 – Mashed Potatoes or French Fries? MASH!! I love MASH!

#4 – Comedy or Drama? Drama, no comedy, er, bit of both?

#5 – Danielle Steel or Nicholas Sparks? Hmm going to have to go for Danielle because Nicholas didn’t really write Zac Efron into that shower scene did he?

#6 – Fantasy or Reality? Reality

#7 – Call or Text? Text

#8 – Public School or Home School? Public school

#9 – Coffee or Hot Chocolate This is too hard! Hot chocolate but I love coffee too! And tea! Us Brits live on tea!

#10 – eBook or Paperback? Ebook
