Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
He's as tough as nails on the ice, but off the rink, he's a potato farmer from Prince Edward Island who knows exactly what he wants.
What he wants is me. A rich girl from the Hamptons who's practically engaged.
When I find out my boyfriend is going to propose when I go home for the holidays, I do the only thing I can do. Run the other way.
That's right, I'm a coward.
Thanks to an injury the night of our college's holiday production, I have the perfect excuse to stay in hiding. Ryan drives me to his farm on the island to care for me, but the tension between us is explosive. Still, we keep our distance until my boyfriend gives me an ultimatum that ends our relationship.
Soon enough, Ryan and I are finding ways to warm our bodies during the cold winter nights, but when I start getting conflicting messages from his family and friends, I am no longer sure what Ryan wants.
When I get the answer wrong, and tragically hurt the guy I've fallen for, I'm not sure we can ever find our way back to happily ever after.

I've been reading romance novels for as long as I can remember. I just never thought I'd be writing them. In fact, I graduated from university with a business degree and started working in the Finance Department of Environment Canada...shiver. A few years into my career, my hubby, who's a meteorologist, got posted up north, population 800. I quit my job and went with him. At first all the spare time was great, then I got bored so I started to read. Day and night. When I ran out of books to read I decided to try writing one. After all, how hard could it be. Ha!! Well, you guessed it. It was hard!
Many years later I discovered Romance Writers of America and have learned a great deal since joining my local chapter. My journey to publication hasn't been smooth sailing, but with the support and guidance from the wonderful writers at RWAC, it's been a lot easier. And a lot more fun!
I'm very fortunate to have a husband and two children who have been supportive in every possible way. On those frustrating days when I'm banging my head against my desk I look up to see a heart shaped sticky note on my computer that says I love you because you naver give up.
