Candy's Man - The Journey

Well, it's finally here!  My first published Sexy Romance Novel. 

 Let me tell you a little history about this novel.  I penned the story a few years ago and it's been poked and prodded various times since.  I've added words and I've cut words, and then added and changed some more.

In the meantime, I have published two other novels and completed a third - all set in the local area where I live.

Candy's Man popped into my head one night and wouldn't leave.  It's as simple as that.  I had to get it down on paper so the characters would be satisfied, but they haven't let up since.

I found a good editor - Pamela Gifford - and her suggestions helped with compacting the story.

I picked the cover months ago.  The gorgeous Jimmy Thomas who graces the cover, is the perfect hero of the story.  He matched my character's description almost to a T.  And the red dress also fitted in with my tale.  

So, finally, I have the completed novel.  It is available as an ebook from Smashwords and Amazon, and will soon be available in print.

New Release
The moment Candace (Candy) Walker steps foot on a cruise ship, she begins a journey that will turn her world upside down.  Recently divorced, the last thing Candy seeks is a serious relationship.  She meets a sexy American stranger, throws all propriety out the window, and then relegates their passionate encounter to a holiday 'fling'.

On arrival back in Sydney, Australia, Candy doesn't know all hell is about to break loose until she meets her new 'boss', but that is the least of her problems.

Cleve Hammond is a man with a secret, and Candy is a complication he does not expect nor want.  Or so he tells himself.  When his twin brother, Nash, becomes embroiled in the situation, Cleve begins to question his feelings.

The emotions stirring within him may jeopardise everything he has worked so hard to conceal.  He can't afford to let down his guard after what happened in his past but Candy seems to be getting under his skin.

As for Candy, she must begin to wade through the ensuing chaos of Nash's affections and her twin sister's unexpected arrival on her doorstep.  But perhaps her biggest challenge is letting go of her past once and for all, and learning to trust again.

All In Time

An interesting and enjoyable story. I would have liked the unique events to unravel slower and continue longer, but overall, the tale was quite engrossing. A good read.

An intricately woven vampire tale that keeps you wanting more. The historical and scientific content was unique and engrossing. I particularly liked the way the author separated each character's story in the beginning and then tied the...

A short, creepy and enthralling story. The development of the main character and situation was strangely enjoyable. A good read.
