Cover Reveal ~ When The Chips Are Down

Here is my latest cover for my latest novel (releasing on 3/20/15) When The Chips Are Down. A romantic comedy that I'm hoping will give you lots of laughs! Thank you to Lindee Robinson for the beautiful photo and cover design.


Melanie Hanson's life didn't go quite the way she had planned. Her cheating ex-husband traded her in for a newer model and she’s in over her head dealing with the drama that comes along with raising her twin teenage daughters.

The last thing she is looking for or needs in her life is a man - or is it?

Ben Wilder is the boy that Melanie loved to hate throughout high school, the boy that all the girls loved and the boy that didn't give Melanie the time of day, unless it was to tease her. When she runs into him once again she realizes...he’s not a boy anymore. Older and wiser, she’s determined not to fall for her secret crush from all those years ago. But sometimes our heart has different plans than our head. Will she finally get her happily ever after with the man she least expected to have it with?

Take a humorous journey with Melanie and her daughters as their lives begin to parallel and they discover that although they may be separated by a generation their struggles are still the same.


*Book 1 of The Three Of A Kind Series 

Excerpt


I tried my best to ignore him, but I could feel his eyes settling on me. I took a deep breath when he got up and sat next to me. “Well, at least I know your real name now.” I shook my head, still trying to avoid eye contact. “So, how’s your ass doing?”
            “What!?” I finally turned my head and looked directly at him.
            “From your fall the other day.” I looked away. “Was I really that much of an ass to you during high school that you are still carrying a grudge all these years later?”
            “Don’t flatter yourself. It has nothing to do with you.”
            “Oh, okay. So, are you bitchy like this to every guy you come in contact with?”
            “Yeah, maybe I am! What’s it to you?”
            He held his hand up in defense. “Doesn’t matter to me one bit, sweetheart, but you’ve clearly been shafted by a guy a time or two to have an attitude like that. I mean, don’t get me wrong. The bitchy ones are better in bed with all that pent-up aggression.” He smirked and took a sip of his beer.
            “Oh, you are such a pig, you know that? You are the same arrogant ‘I’m so in love with myself’ jock you were back in school! Well, reality check. Despite the fact you may have never grown up, most women have. So your good looks, perfect body, and smooth talking will no longer work.”             He chuckled loudly. “What’s so funny?”
            “I think you just admitted you thought I was good-looking and had a perfect body.”
            “No. That’s not what –” He had me feeling so flustered. “I meant MEN, in general!”
            “Whatever you say, princess.”
            “My name is Melanie! Oh, wait. Maybe you’ll remember Smellanie better!”
            His grin widened. “Ahhhh, now I remember you! You were that cute little blonde girl who used to sit in front of me in French class. You were the little goody two-shoes who always knew exactly how to respond in perfect French to the teacher, while the rest of us struggled to maintain a D average. You know you really didn’t smell, right? That was just a nickname for you.”
            “I know I never smelled, thank you very much!”

My Valentines Day Gift To You

Okay, since I know a huge majority of women will be spending their weekend with Christian Grey, the fun doesn't have to stop after you leave the movie theater. Hollywood may be giving you Christian on the movie screen but I'm giving you Dailan O'Maley for free (first time ever!) on your kindle. So, if you need a fix as you come down from your Christian high or if you're like me, and waiting a few weeks for the crowds to die down at the movies before seeing it....then Dailan is your man. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their Valentine's day with a sexy, sarcastic Irish guy? So, I'll supply the hot guy, and you supply the chocolate and wine. Oh, and spread the word to whatever friends you think would enjoy him as well....there is plenty of him to go around! Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Reading!

An Unplanned Lesson Free on Amazon until 2/15/15
