Hot Flash - Dana Galey is heading toward fifty, but the turning point in her life is more than a date on the calendar - it's a lifestyle change generated by a phone call to a wrong number.

Colin Wyatt, a thirty-something, special agent for the railroad, calls a wrong number, but  connects with an older woman - a warm, vibrant woman that teaches him the value of learning, loving and life.

 

Renaissance ~ This book will introduce six over-forty women when they get together for a weekly girl's night out - including Jan Marren and occasional visits from her best friend, Dana Galey. Their quirks and thoughts on life, love, and retirement will keep you entertained.  

   

Shop Around ~  Jan Marren  loves to shop - shoes, Harley Davidson motorcycles . . . men - and not necessarily in that order.  She's one of those gals who's always into something -  until life catches up to her, giving her a dose of reality.

 

Breaking the Rules - Holly James' life revolves around her career as a market research analyst. A modern day Helen Gurley Brown, she's dedicated to living in a women's lib world - until she meets Joe Westley.

Joseph Benton Westley, a handsome, charismatic corporate attorney, has a reputation as a womanizer - one he didn't earn. When a feisty, headstrong woman captures his heart, he intends to convince her that he's the man of her dreams. But she's not a dreamer.

 

Unexpected Magic -  Meghan O'Bryan believes love ought to magically appear in a GQ package - until she meets Reyer Matthews. With his long hair and bad boy, biker look, she suspects he's been around - a lot. Sapphire blue eyes and a hard, muscular body make her forget he's not her type. And boy, can he kiss!

Reyer Matthews' dangerous lifestyle as an undercover cop can't compare to the dangerous attraction he has to the spunky grocery cashier he gets locked in the milk cooler with. A two-bit thief turns his boring, hot August night into a  night he'll never forget, and leaves him searching for more out of life.

 

Loving Again - Lucy Chambers returns to college to finish her degree after the end of her disappointing marriage. Loving Again is the last thing on her mind – until she discovers her professor to be the man who, as a young boy, first stole her heart. Strong memories and sexual attraction cause conflict with Lucy’s emotions as well as dreams for her future.

Mitch Warner fled Montana after his wife left him for his brother. Afraid to trust again, he avoids steady relationships in the small college town where he teaches. He hides behind a beard, boots and a cowboy hat. When Lucy Chambers, the beautiful redhead he loved as a teenager, turns up as a student in his class, he finds himself Loving Again but reluctant to commit to a future.
