Seven Years of Secrets is an award winner!

Seven Years of Secrets is the winner of the Contemporary Romance Short Stiletto Award from Contemporary Romance Writers

Seven Years of Secrets is my tribute to the fast-talking, sparks flying screwball comedies of the 1930s/1940s, although with more emphasis on romance than the screwball comedy. My inspiration was the classic Howard Hawks film His Girl Friday starring Cary Grant at his suavest best and the incomporable Rosalind Russell. I borrowed the idea of rival journalists and former lovers, although Declan and Mara are very different from Walter and Hildy (and they weren’t married, just a passionate college fling), and I got rid of the current love interest for Hildy after toying with the idea. But I only had 50,000 words to play with, and so the story was focused rather tightly on just Mara and Declan and their second chance.

Seven Years of Secrets was originally meant to be the second book in a four book series, but it ended up being the second and last book in The Heirs of Lochlainn duology and also my last book for Harlequin Desire, which sadly is no more. But I’m very excited to write for Afterglow, a brand new imprint from Harlequin - stay tuned for more news!
