Dear Reader,

Maybe I shouldn’t admit this, but I love torturing my characters. That sounds sadistic, but let’s face it. Watching polite people in ordinary situations be sweetie-nice to each other is a bore. Watching strong people face challenges and overcome them—now,
that’s
entertaining. After all, would we watch all that reality TV if everybody got along?

Here’s another truth: My characters don’t think what’s happening to them is funny, but trust me, it is. Did Lucy Ricardo think it was funny when she was trying to make candy, but the conveyor belt went so fast she couldn’t keep up? No! Did Bill Murray’s character in
Groundhog Day
think it was funny when every day was
not
a new day? No! But, we laughed, didn’t we?

Darcy McDaniel, the heroine of HOT WHEELS AND HIGH HEELS (on sale now), is facing the biggest challenge of her life. Her wealthy husband sends her on a vacation with a friend and, in her absence, cleans out their bank accounts, sells their house, and disappears.

Darcy is terrified of being destitute, but tough times call for tough measures. When ex-cop turned

repo man John Stark repossesses her beloved Mercedes, she starts working for her sexy adversary with the goal of moving from receptionist to repo agent so she can make some decent money. However, John refuses to turn a spoiled ex–trophy wife loose to legally steal cars, and soon, their battle of wits and sexual one-upsmanship burn hotter than a bonfire out of control.

I require all my characters to have one quality: No matter how hard they’re hit, they get back up again. And the results will leave you laughing. Pick up a copy of HOT WHEELS AND HIGH HEELS, and ride along with John and Darcy on their rocky road to happily ever after!

Enjoy!
