Author Bio:
I write romantic fiction with a little magic, a little suspense and a little humour. When you reach the end, I strive to leave you in a happy place.
Life has enough difficult times, so it’s important to me to write novels where happiness ultimately triumphs. I help my characters overcome their demons, open their hearts, and find the love everyone deserves.
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea there’s more to our world than we perceive. That’s why I created Finn, a mischievous, match-making elf from a world just a wee bit off Earth, who believes every time love is experienced, energy empowers our worlds.
Find Finn playing games with humans and spreading the love in the Magical Matchmaker Series.

Love of her Lives
Blurb:
Beth thought she was doing a good deed until her benevolence rouses a Scottish warrior from her past life—or so he says—a fierce, passionate man who’s hell-bent on both rescue and seduction. With no recollection of their lives together, and with a secret to keep, she can’t trust the hot-tempered, alpha male who’s more lethal than the men chasing her. Accused of a crime she didn’t commit, she’s soon in a race to find the truth, clear her name and stay alive.
Calum risks his soul when he bargains with Finn, an Elvin matchmaker, to return to Earth and reclaim Beth’s heart. Unfamiliar with the 21st century, Calum must determine who plots against her while playing Finn’s game, a game designed to awaken her repressed passion and keep them on the run together. His medieval ways means he’ll protect her at all costs, but in a time that’s not his own, if he can’t rein in his need to control Beth, his interference in her life could tear them apart forever.
Excerpt:
Beth felt a little more relaxed after the burn of whiskey dulled to warmth she felt mostly in her head — all buzzy and unperturbed up there. The slight haze felt welcome.
Calum’s eyes trained on her like a hungry wolf, but he stayed put in the Bergère chair. Not that she wanted him to get closer, she affirmed. Then affirmed again.
The more she looked at him, the more appealing he became. The polar opposite of Matthew, Calum looked like he’d be one with the mountains, not a city boy. The rugged look was accentuated by stubble that shadowed his square jaw. His hair was chin length, caramel strands swung forward as he reached for his glass, muscles moving smoothly under his mocha sweater. She imagined him wielding one of those heavy claymore swords with elegant grace. Now that was a dangerous direction for her thoughts to go. Why was there nothing about this man that said professor?
“What course do you teach, Professor Cunningham?”
“I don’t teach. Just collecting research, lass, for the University of Edinburgh. How do you know for sure that this Matthew is the one for you?”
“Matthew is a man driven to set goals and attain them — not my strong suit. I tend to live in the moment. He’s breaking me of my disorganized habits and has detailed a three–year plan for me. It’s tacked up on my bulletin board, and believe me, I am on track.”
Calum leaned back in the chair with cougar–like eyes on her. “Does your soul burn for him? Do you feel him now deep in your bones? Does he know you so well that his mere touch brings you to your knees, Bethia?”
If bullshit was music, this guy would be a brass band. And he’d done it again, drawing out her name with that sensual inflection, and speaking of burning, that smoldering look could melt the robe right off a woman. Beth slid back until her head bumped the wall and her jean–clad knees were pulled up tight against her.
“You are so inappropriate,” she said. Soul–burning love? Right up until the one you love walks out the door for good. She’d always known she wouldn’t waste her life chasing it.
“And you wish Matthew was more so?”
“I live in the real world, Calum, not a fantasy. Is that what the women in your life tell you — that you make them weak in the knees?”
His smile was back to seduction. “Just one woman.”
“Really? Good for her.” He has a woman? Oh. Well, the man did have some appeal after all, if you liked the primitive, animalistic sort.
