Kim is a former Broadway dancer, who feels trapped in a loveless marriage to a jealous wealthy older man. He blames her for crippling him in an auto accident that he himself caused.
Kim strives to make the marriage work, despite her husband’s blame, verbal abuse and bitterness.
When she meets a wickedly handsome man on the beach, she fights not to want him, not to want a new life and not to fall in love. But Derek is seductive and irresistible—a former soldier who recently comes to town to start a landscaping business. Kim falls hard for him, and he becomes addicted to her.
Although Kim wants a divorce, her husband finds out about their affair, and devises a plot to destroy them both. They must struggle to survive a web of lies, deceit and dangerous passion.

#1 – Do You See Writing as a Career?
Definitely. It has
become just that—and so much more. It’s
a way of living.

Facing that blank page every morning and waiting for my
sleepy muse to show up.

Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
Yes! My dear friend
Serena (who taught English) read, edited and made constructive comments on all
of my early short stories. She has the
loudest, wildest laugh that you can hear for mucho blocks. She always kept me laughing whenever I got
discouraged.

I’m at work on THE SUMMER MAN, the 2nd book in
The Scorpio Beach Series.

I love to read. I
have just finished reading The Beautiful

I love to read and write novels. I'm also a loner, who loves to drink copious amounts of coffee--and I won't turn down a good bourbon if it's offered by a handsome man... or indeed, by any kind and generous man.
I'm a Scorpio, and I love the beach. I have a background in graphic design and creative writing. My mother kept diaries and wrote short stories about Christmas, old lovers and travel.
My cat, Count Elvis, loves cognac and Pop Tarts.
Reading on the beach is one of the great delights of life. Sun, sea and sand. Ahhh... and then I pick up a book and dive into a story. I love everything gold: golden tans, golden hair, golden sunsets and golden earrings.
My husband, Dane, is a diver and sun worshiper.
