Why I write romance

A romance novel celebrates life. It’s an affirmation of all that matters – love, people, relationships, dreams and values. It’s a reassurance that love can conquer seemingly insurmountable odds and people can overcome personal obstacles to growth.

As a reader, I love them all – the stories that make me cry; those that make me laugh, and the many that make me sigh with contentment that it’s all worked out in the end, that the characters have struggled with their issues and made a believable commitment.

As an author, I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to write romance, and even better, to hear that readers have enjoyed my stories. I love bringing two people together, the growing awareness that the other person is The One, the panic when they realise that they’ve fallen in love despite all intentions to the contrary. I enjoy making sure that when these two people least expect it, they find love, and showing that love really does conquer all. Why would I want to write anything else?

To be together is dangerous. To stay apart is impossible.

Firefighter Jasmine Mackinnon has always just been one of the guys. So no one’s more shocked than she is to find herself kissing fellow firefighter and all-around sinfully handsome playboy Aaron Parkes after a friend’s wedding. Jasmine knows she can’t risk an emotional connection with a colleague—a potentially dangerous entanglement when fighting fires together—and nothing's more important to her than her job.

Aaron never noticed how beautiful Jasmine was until he saw her out of her firefighter duds, but there’s something about the fiery woman that tempts him. Though he knows pursuing a real relationship is out of the question for a serial dater like him, when their casual flirtation builds into something more serious, it's not just their jobs or their safety on the line. It's their hearts.
