BLURB

He was the boss. She was in trouble.

The first time I met Theo Woodward was in a bar.

He tried to buy me a drink, and I told him exactly what he could do with it.

In my defense, I’d had a terrible day. My beloved boss had died unexpectedly, the promotion I’d been promised was suddenly in limbo, and I was in no mood for men—especially cocky, gorgeous ones.

Theo told me to have a nice life.

I stuck out my tongue and figured that would be the end of it.

One ridiculous run-in with a man too handsome for his own good.

Except I wasn’t laughing the next morning.

Not when I walked into the office and met the new CEO.

You guessed it.

Theo Woodward.

The estranged son of my late boss was the same man from the bar.

The one I’d told to screw off.

And things only got worse.

Because the promotion I’d been promised?

Suddenly, it wasn’t mine.

Theo needed time to learn the company—and someone who knew it inside and out.

Me.

I was ready to walk.

Until he offered me an arrangement.

I stay on as his personal assistant while he got his footing.

Then I get the job that should’ve been mine all along.

Simple.

Except nothing about Theo Woodward was simple.

Not when the man I couldn’t stand was also the one I couldn’t stop noticing. And not when the only thing harder than working for Theo was pretending I didn’t want him.

Honey Winters
(A Blue Spruce Hills Novella)
Publication date: November 12th 2026
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Holiday, Romance, Women’s Fiction

For readers who enjoy clean women’s fiction about small towns, new chapters, and later-in-life romance.
***

A small-town librarian, a new neighbor from Colorado, and the brightest Christmas display in the Poconos.

Penny McLauchlin runs the library from a former bank building where the vault is now a reading room. She knows which cart squeaks, which patron wants company rather than a book, and which of the atrium plants needs turning toward the light. What she has stopped knowing is what she wants.

Then a colleague slides a listing for Regional Library Director across her desk — the kind Penny has scrolled past for years — and the thought arrives fully formed: I could.

She applies. And then the quiet season she thought lay ahead turns out to be anything but.

Her sister Jackie moves in. Her daughter is coming home for Christmas with a guest. And Nigel Blake, her new neighbor, has just plugged in a holiday display visible from Mars.

By December, Penny’s street is the brightest one — and the woman who never wanted anything to change has a job interview and is embroiled in a Christmas lights battle that has drawn spectators from across town.

This book is for every woman who has looked around a good life and still wondered whether this was all of it. Winter Light is about wanting things at 55, reaching without wrecking anything, and discovering that contentment isn’t the same as closing the door. Come to Blue Spruce Hills for warm friendships, a Pennsylvania mountain town under snow, a sister who arrives like weather, and a neighbor whose Christmas lights are an argument for joy.

Two big candles sat square in the middle of the cake—a five and a five.

The lights dimmed, and Penny was treated to an unharmonious Happy Birthday. Then came a chant that the kids had done when they were young and the adults had continued. Luckily, they now counted by fives.

“Are you five? Are you ten? Are you fifteen?” Shannon, Wendy, and Jennifer chanted.

As they counted up, Penny’s mind focused on her “new chapter,” as Jennifer called it. What new chapter? She had no news to share. Shannon had a new gallery showing. Jennifer was trying a new hobby. Wendy was going on vacation to Thailand.

“Are you thirty?”

Penny was simply going about her life. Day after day after day.

“Are you thirty-five?”

It wasn’t that her life was empty.

“Are you forty?”

Nor was she lonely.

“Are you forty-five?”

Nothing was wrong, per se.

“Are you fifty?”

But three words began to form, not quite solid yet, but taking shape.

“Are you fifty-five?”

Is this it?

“Stop,” Penny said, and the women clapped.

“Okay, Pen, blow out the candles and make a wish,” Shannon said.

Penny closed her eyes and did exactly that.

***

After about five minutes of hugging, Penny finally left Shannon’s. Her hands were toasty in her new gloves. Her journal was in her tote bag, and her framed picture was tucked under her arm.

The night was quiet. Her feet crunched on the fall leaves, and she could hear a muffled TV. Penny had walked this walk so many times she knew where the sidewalk tilted because of tree roots and when to expect Mr. Phillip’s dog to start barking.

For the first time, she didn’t find that familiarity comforting. Nothing had changed from yesterday, but everything felt a little different. It was silly. Nothing more than the stress of a birthday.

But that feeling lingered.

I love writing the kind of stories I want to curl up with—heartfelt, uplifting stories about women in midlife navigating life’s ups and downs. My books celebrate the bonds of friendship, the magic of second chances, and the belief that it’s never too late to fall in love.

Whether it’s a cozy lakeside summer, a small-town reunion, or an unexpected romance that catches you by surprise, I believe every chapter of life holds something sweet waiting to be discovered.

A mage in hiding. A Brute holding the line. And a truth that will change everything.

The Prince of Wales has vanished and all of England believes Duke Evander Ravenwood took him.

Hunted by the authorities and condemned in every newspaper in London, Evander has lost his name, his face, and the freedom to walk the streets in daylight. Finding the missing prince may be the only way to clear himself—but whoever orchestrated his downfall has been planning this for far longer than he realised.

While Evander searches for answers from the shadows, Viggo Stonewall is fighting a war of his own.

The Aristocratic Oversight Committee has seized control of the Arcane Division. People are disappearing without charge. And a seemingly innocent welfare census is recording the name and location of every thrall in London.

When the trail finally leads Evander and Viggo across the Irish Sea, they find themselves closing on an enemy who has been three moves ahead of them from the beginning—and whose plans reach far beyond one missing prince.

But Evander is still hiding a devastating truth from the man he loves.

And if Viggo discovers it before Evander can make things right, defeating their enemy may be the least of what they stand to lose.

Release Blitz: Smolder by Kimberly Kincaid

 

Smolder by Kimberly Kincaid is now live!

He studies monsters. She shares DNA with one. Now they're hunting a copycat killer determined to finish what her twin brother started.

 

As a former rescue squad firefighter, Dallas Garrity knows danger when he sees it. As the newest behavioral analyst for the Remington Police Department, he knows evil when he sees it, too. When a body turns up with all the signatures of the city’s most notorious serial killer, Dallas knows he must break the case and bring Ezekial Murphy’s copycat killer to justice.

No matter how much Dallas knows about her past. No matter how much she still wants him now.

 

As secrets unravel and their chemistry burns hotter than ever, Dallas and Wren must stay a step ahead of not one killer, but two. Before it’s too late for them both.

I might not remember what happened that night, but Liam does, and I have video proof of everything that went down. After using my proof to blackmail him into hooking up again, I find out that he’s into the same stuff I am, and the more we hook up, the more I crave him.

Then I find out that someone has been targeting him, and I vow to do everything in my power to keep him safe. Liam is mine, and I will burn the world down to protect him.

It’s kind of like being the new kid in school and being asked to tell everyone a bit about yourself. Anyone else forget everything they’ve ever liked, thought of, and even their name in those moments? A few facts about me; I’m a veteran, I’m Canadian, and I love books! I’ve been writing my own stories since I was eight and wrote my first novel at sixteen. I’m the first to admit those attempts weren’t my best work, but they started me on a journey of creating stories that has led me to fulfilling my dream of becoming an author. I’ve written and published in several genres under different names, but MM is by far my favorite, and I’m so happy to be able to share my stories with people today. I currently live on Canada’s east coast with my kiddo and my cats. I have a shoe collecting addiction, and I enjoy taking long walks, discussions with friends, and reading anything and everything I can get my hands on.
