I was born in Sacramento, California where I launched my writing career by "publishing" a family newspaper. Circulation was dismal. After school, I married the love of my life. We spent years juggling children and pets while living on sailboats. All the while, I read like a crazy woman (devoured Agatha Christie) and wrote stories of my own, eventually selling to magazines and then book publishers. Now, 45 novels later, I'm concentrating on romantic suspense where my true interest lies.

THE SISTER SHE NEVER KNEW...BUT WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO SAVE
It wasn't like Tess Mays to fall apart in front of strangers, but she was having a rough day. Detective Ryan Hill just informed her that her long-lost father was dead, and that the woman lying helplessly in a coma in the ICU was her identical twin. Unbelievable! Somehow Tess had to unravel her father's secret past and fi nd the thugs who intended to kill her sister. For that she needed Ryan's help...if only she could resist succumbing to his protective arms. Her bold plan: to live another woman's life...and possibly risk her own in the process.
