Minnesota Romances

Raul Roderick, a sexy Hispanic action movie star addicted to life in the fast lane, needs to clean-up for a major role that even he doubts he can deliver. The indie director sends him up to a resort owned by his grandmother in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of upper Minnesota, to learn to commune with nature. His guide is Veronica, the director's cousin, a tall, athletic woman who has the relaxed, sensible nature of someone who knows herself well, and has the natural confidence that comes from being surrounded by a loving and supportive family. Raul's initial clumsy attempt to seduce her makes her laugh--so he calls her fat. Is there any hope that their relationship will progress beyond its rocky start? Can Raul overcome his partying nature to discover who he really is, and what he really wants from life? And can Veronica ever learn to trust a man who "lies for a living?"Author's note: there are two Rauls in this book. The first chapter introduces us to the careless movie star who has never had any limits set on what he can do. Once he gets up north, he has to try to fit into a world that is totally foreign to him. Can he do it? And how deep will the changes go? I write contemporary erotic romance novels. Contemporary because having sex without birth control is a scary thought. Erotic, because I love to read books with sex scenes in them, so I write them too. And romance because the drive to pair up is a most basic human need, but the ways it can happen are endlessly fascinating.I write contemporary erotic romance novels about strong, independent women who are busy living their lives. When they meet equally strong, independent men, the sparks fly! Sooner or later one or both of them realize they are meant to be together for the long-term, and the "dance of love" moves to a whole new level of seriousness. I write happily-ever-after endings, because I really believe they are possible...not easy, but achievable. And I write hot scenes between the heroine and hero because that's the way they tell me their stories in my head! Minnesota may be known as a state that is cold for much of the year, but that doesn't apply to the people who live there! Grand Marais, at the north-eastern tip of the state, is where my Minnesota Romances series starts, with For the Love of His Life. The second book. Only One Man Will Do, moves to Minneapolis. The third book, Her Last Resort, returns to Grand Marais. The second half of the fourth book, No More Secrets, takes place mostly in Grand Marais.

She's ex-CIA. He's ex-KGB. Can glasnost (openness) lead to rapprochement (a bringing together), and maybe even to love, as west meets east?Her Last Resort has a heroine and a hero both in their 50s. She's retired after 30 years as an agent for the CIA--he's ex-KGB. Her daughter from a failed marriage wants to have a relationship with her, so she agrees to spend a week in a cabin at a resort owned by the ex-KGB agent. It's the tale of two love stories, because love can happen at any age, even 25 years after you first saw each other. But also the love between a mother and child is a powerful love story too. The only problem is that someone is trying to kill the heroine, and she's never asked for help from anyone before. Can she accept the help of her ex-"enemy"? Or will one of her attackers be successful?Note: this is the third book in my Minnesota Romances series. I write contemporary erotic romance novels.

Kelly, Raul, and Jared are making another movie together--this time in Colombia. Tomás is there, posing as a tutor, while trying to find the evidence to bust the drug lord who owns the mansion next door to the one they're filming in. Kelly can't figure out why his vibe doesn't say tutor to her--until she figures out his secret. And he has no idea why she's so quick to figure him out, until he learns about her ex-CIA mom, and ex-KGB step-father. They can't fight their growing attraction to each other. Will it get them both killed? Or can they find their way to a happily-ever-after, once they have no more secrets from each other?Note: this book combines characters introduced in For the Love of His Life, and others from Her Last Resort--as well as the hero, who is from Undercover Lovers.
