Book News and a Sale That Ends Tonight

If you’ve been around lately, you’ll know how busy I’ve been writing and editing.

But what you might not know is I have two new releases and a sale that include romance for just about everyone!

It’s been a long time since I last wrote something non-spicy—not since All Good Stories, in fact.

So if you like wholesome love stories, you’ll enjoy my story in the new Romance Cafe anthology Snowed In With You.

“Lost and Found,” is a sweet, loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

Chevonne is hiking on a deserted trail when the snowstorm hits. Her dog runs off when she twists her ankle and falls, and without a phone signal to call her best friend, she’s sunk. Or so she thinks.

Brevin is minutes away from leaving his cabin when he’s approached by a St. Bernard. It convinces him to follow it …

Chevonne is stunned when her high school crush shows up to rescue her. Maybe, just maybe, this will make up for Brevin standing her up years ago. If he even remembers.

Perfect for readers who crave romance with a dose of forced proximity, crackling fireplaces, and cozy winter settings, the Snowed In With You anthology will warm your heart even on the coldest of nights.

If you enjoy medium-spicy romance, my romcom Saddled is on sale today for 99¢.

Saddled is a quirky, slow-burn, forbidden romance between an office manager (Sandra) and the new temp (Michael) who also works as a cowboy stripper on Saturday nights.

Going to the office just got a lot more exciting.

On sale today.

And finally, for the really spicy romance, my why-choose vampire first book in the series, Her Bloody Betrayal, is also on sale today for 99¢. In this MMFM book you can expect:

💔Enemies to lovers

💕They fall first

🧛Battle against evil

🧱Forced proximity

⚔️Swords Cross

You can read more about the entire trilogy at https://lghillbooks.com

And that’s all my news! Thanks for reading. 🥰

“Her Bloody Betrayal” is out now

Finally!

What I’ve been working so hard on for the past year and a half is finally published!

This one won’t be for everyone who’s enjoyed my other books, which is why I wrote it with a new but not secret pen name.

The series “Of Crimson Descent” is different in that it’s a steamy vampire reverse harem romance, which means there’s one heroine who takes no crap and three heroes.

One of whom broke her heart but she’s forced to work with him.

One who is as loyal and protective as the night is long.

And one who’s still human, who grounds her and reminds her of what’s important.

Anyway, it’s available now on Kindle Unlimited! If you’re interested, grab it here. 😊

Just in time for Christmas!

It’s a new book! 🎉

Creamed just came out today, and I’m so excited!

You’ll recognize Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub and many of the characters in the other books in the “Once a Week at Woody’s” series in this fun, festive, and fiery romantic comedy.

Mary has been selling her baked goods for years at the Bevershire Christmas market. When a handsome baker comes to town and gets the booth beside hers, the competition gets heated.

Tom is moving to Bevershire to be near his brother, but he needs a job. In the space of a day, he gets two—baking for a booth at the Christmas market and stripping on Saturday night at Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub. Who knew standing outside in the cold would be the job to get his blood racing?

Come for the cupcakes, stay for the romance.

Grab it at:

Kindle: https://amazon.com/dp/B0DPGP7F69

Did you get it yet?

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, the perfect time to settle in and enjoy my new short story!

Amy is ready for a change, both in her personal and professional life as event coordinator at Plathar Resort. But before she can change anything, she must get through one week of overbooked hell with a roommate named Lisa.

Enter Taylor. Taylor is not Lisa. Taylor is not even a woman. Yet here he is at an all-women’s event, the annual Un-Lonely Hearts Single Ladies’ Un-Valentine’s Week, in Amy’s room.

At least there are two beds. And Amy and Taylor can damn well stick to their own sides of the room. Or can they?

The reviews are in! 4 stars all ’round.

Another short , cheeky read from this author. As Amy thinks about moving on from her job at a tropical resort she finds herself with an unexpected roommate. I nearly jumped out of my skin at one point, but mostly I laughed throughout. A truly entertaining read.

Julie on Goodreads

This is a fab light hearted romcom. Perfect short story to relax with a cuppa or a glass of wine. Highly recommend.
