Normally, it's not the cover art that reels me in. However, one peek at the male on the cover "Taken by Love" and I decided his picture should be in the dictionary as the definition of "eye candy" - no further definition in words needed. Thank goodness it's a book cover as I know I was staring! Staring at one hot, handsome, fit, sexy male with incredible eyes. Did I mention hot? Oh my! I couldn't wait to discover more about him and the lucky woman that had undoubtedly caught his eye as illustrated by that captivating glance over his shoulder. I turned to Chapter 1 and met DEA Agent Arden Jones and his girlfriend Lucy Farris, owner of a florist shop in Seattle.

"Taken by Love" has everything that a reader wants to savor in romantic suspense - romance and page-turning suspense in riveting situations that could be torn from the headlines. This romance also delights with terrific humor.

I'm so delighted that this story is being introduced as the first in a series as I can't wait to learn the next steps for Arden and Lucy. It seems a guarantee following their adventures will be exciting and always fun!
From the AuthorFOR THE LOVE OF ANIMALS!
I'm asked on a regular basis why I have some sort of animal in every one of my books. It is simple...I love animals and I love writing about them. It doesn't matter what kind, shape, or size. I love them all!
Throughout my life I've had dogs, birds, frogs, lizards, rabbits and of course precious cats. My husband and I have a dozen bird feeders, two water fountains and multiple yard-art fixtures that we put food and water in for the critters.
Several years ago our cat of fifteen years passed away and we were going to wait awhile before getting another one but as the days went on we missed having a cat. It was during the winter so there weren't any kittens available. I searched all the shelters and saw pictures of an eight-month-old female, shorthair cat.
When we picked up Ardy from the Bremerton, WA PAWS, they said we'd never be able to pick her up or touch her. She'd been abused. My husband played with her and instantly fell in love. We took her home and after many months of special care, she loves to be held. We laugh because she likes it so much she won't let you put her down.
All animals deserve a little time, patience and a good loving home.
