With two championships in as many years, superstar Tyler
Harris is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he’s at the
top of his game. But everyone’s looking to take him down. There’s a building
media frenzy around an unfortunate accident, and the only safe place seems a
rundown mansion deep in the San Juans and owned by his late great uncle. There,
Tyler gets sacked by the sassy redhead next door. It’s more alive than he’s
felt in years.
Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an
absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football. Maybe that
explains her penchant for bad boys who play ball for a living and break hearts
for a hobby. Her new neighbor seems just the type. Yet, something is different
about Tyler, and sometimes love requires a Hail Mary. You draw back your arm,
pray…and give it all up to fate. And sometimes you win your ring

BIO:
I completed my first story at the age of five. I titled it
"Wildfire" (about a horse, of course) and illustrated it myself. I
still have the book stowed away in the attic somewhere.
I've written stories all of my life. They were my secret
garden, my escape from the realities of the world. I never shared them with
anyone. I'd hide them away and bring them out when the mood struck me.
I frequented several fan fiction sites on the Internet. As I
was reading those stories, I thought I can do that. Four years ago, I posted my
first two chapters on a fan fiction site. My hands shook. My stomach lurched.
NEVER had I let anyone read my stories before. What if my writing was garbage?
What if everyone hated it? It was a soul-baring moment. Fortunately, they loved
it. It became quite popular. Several people who'd befriended me on that fan fic
site encouraged me to pursue my writing on a more professional level.
Being a devoted reader of romance and an advocate of happy
endings, it was only natural to choose romance as my focus. I joined the
Romance Writers of America, and the Olympia RWA chapter.
Six months and 105,000 words later, I finished my first
manuscript, The Dance. Named after Garth Brooks' popular song, the original
ending wasn't happily ever after, but I quickly changed that small detail. I
started my second single title on Thanksgiving Day and pushed myself to see how
long it would take me to finish it. I finished it the middle of February and
was very proud of myself for being so fast.
To date, I've published four novels and two short stories in
an anthology.
A few years ago, I married a wonderful man. You can bet my
Green Beret turned Plumber will be an inspiration for a future book. In my
spare time, I show the above-mentioned Hanoverian mare, in dressage. I'm also a
rabid Seattle Seahawks and Mariners fan through thick and thin. Lately, I've
developed an interest in gardening.
An avid boater, I've spent countless hours in Washington
State's San Juan Islands, the most beautiful place on earth, and the setting
for "Who's" and "The Dance." You'll see more books in the
future set on these islands. My banner and several other pictures on this site
were taken in that area.
Currently, I'm a PAN member of RWA and three RWA chapters:
Peninsula, Greater Seattle, and Olympia. I'm co-president of the Olympia
chapter with fellow writer Anthea Lawson. I spearhead the annual Elizabeth
Kistler Memorial Retreat in Port Townsend at Manresa Castle for the Olympia
chapter.
