Melting His Alaskan Heart

Book #3 in the Alaskan Hero series is available!

When Ethan Forrester's hockey star brother begs him to take his place at a masquerade fundraiser due to illness, Ethan grudgingly agrees to help the cause. After all, he'll be wearing a mask that covers the scar across his eye. No one will know his true identity.

Sports journalist Carly Hughes will do whatever it takes to procure the interview no one else can get from the NHL Stanley cup winning captain. After a few drinks she confesses her need for an exclusive interview or she'll be fired. Ethan knows his brother as well as he knows himself--spilling a few details should keep the man's privacy intact--mostly.

However, when their interview moves to the penthouse suite, Ethan tries to explain he's not the Forrester brother she's looking for, but Carly insists he keep his mask on.

Daylight brings some harsh truths, and a serious hangover. Carly not only forgot to record her interview, but she wakes up with a stranger in her bed. Or was this case of mistaken identity the best thing that's ever happened to her?

Her Alaskan Hero

Her Alaskan Hero is available!


After being left at the altar, California girl Sabrina Tate needs to make a fast getaway. With her famous overbearing parents and the paparazzi hot on her heels, where else is a jilted bride to go to lick her wounds but Alaska? With only her tropical honeymoon clothes in tow, she makes her escape. For two weeks, she’ll live on her own and prove to herself—and her family—that she can make it without a husband.

Zak Forrester is a man on a mission. He’s turned his rugged yet luxurious Alaskan lodge into a hotspot for hunters, all in the hope to make up for a painful event in his past. But when Sabrina—one of the rare women to enter his rugged realm—stumbles into his world, he can’t get rid of her fast enough. He has no time for her yoga, vegetarian meal requests, or Scrabble.

Soon, neither can resist the other, and two hearts collide. With time ticking away, they have to decide where they belong. Is a life in a different world better than being a world apart?

Hockey Love!

It's been almost a year since this amazing team won the Alaska small school State Championship in overtime! It's one of those memories that will stay with me forever. Not only because it was my son's senior year and what better way to end his high school hockey career, but the storyteller in me loved the fact that this team was the underdog. We weren't expected to win. We weren't the favorite. We weren't the team to bet on. Anyone who knew this team, knew it had the heart to win, but this state championship game would have to be the perfect game, every single player would have to play their absolute best. And it happened! It was amazing. We won!

Happy Holidays

As if life isn’t stressful enough—we get the holidays! Yay!

I remember as a kid listening to my Mom and Grandma discussing the pros and cons of having the annual family Christmas party at my Grandma’s house or not, and they couldn’t understand why one of the other aunt’s wouldn’t offer up their house for the party since my Grandma had out-of-town guests at hers. I didn’t understand what the big deal was. Just have it at Grandma’s house. It’s more fun.

Well, sure it’s fun--for the kids. I didn’t appreciate all the work my Grandma did to host the annual Christmas Eve “get-together” of approximately 40-50 relatives. This was a full meal with all the trimmings, all the dishes, and all the clean up afterwards. My Grandma didn’t even have a dishwasher and how about all the cleaning of the house before the party? Many of us stress about the cleanliness of our house on a regular day, let alone for a party.

In honor of my Grandma, I decided to have friends and family over to make cookies this week. No, it isn’t a full-fledged Christmas party, but at least it is a “get-together” to do something fun, eat cookies, drink egg nog, and share some laughs.  And if my house isn’t that clean? *shrugs* So what.

My kind of Christmas Tree!

Beautiful Alaska

This is a typical scene in the fall. Lots of pilots flying to hunting camps. This is my husband's plane and I'm in the back seat. I only wish fall lasted longer. It's such a short season here.
