Resorting to Romance is HERE!

 


I'm so excited that Resorting to Romance is finally released!

My last book was published in 2019 so I feel as if I'm starting from scratch all over again. A little nerve wracking to say the least!

I cannot thank Entangled Publishing, The Seymour Agency and of course, my agent Lesley Sabga enough. THANK YOU so much for your support and confidence.

I hope you get a chance to pick up this fun, lighthearted beach read and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

***

It was supposed to be L.A. attorney Loni Wingate’s perfect day. Instead, she got only chaos and heartbreak. Her fiancĂ© stole her promotion and ended their engagement, leaving her career and her future dangling by a thread. Then when Loni tries to go to her safe place, her family’s quaint North Carolina resort, she finds it’s up for sale.

But Loni didn’t get to where she is without a fight. So if a developer is coming by to assess the property, the place she feels most connected to her long-gone Mama…well, Loni and her sisters will serve up a taste of Southern hospitality he’ll never forget.

Ian Hollowell hasn’t experienced “Southern hospitality” firsthand, but he’s pretty sure this is not it. Between the storage room accommodation, the all-sugar sweet tea, and a lethally hot pepper omelet, he’s getting the sense his welcome is anything but. Still, he didn’t get his ruthless reputation by quitting when the game gets interesting.

Now a round of “keep your enemies close” might be flipped on its head in bestselling author Jennifer Shirk’s sparkling and stirring story about reconsidering the past in order to shape the future. Because sometimes it takes one last resort to find the place—and people—that truly feel like home.

New Jersey Romance Writers One Day Conference!

 

If you haven't registered for this event yet, you should!


Here's what the guest speaker has said about her talk:

"My talks are super practical. It's not theoretical stuff but practical how-to advice, concrete steps you can take next to make changes and then implement them. I help people figure out where they are and what to do to take the next step on their journey as an author. Authors will go home [from the special event] with a list of things they can do and start executing. There won't be high-concept ideas you'll have no idea how to put into practice."

Would listening to her talk about how you can take your career up a notch or even more notches be worth a day of your time? You can still register here: www.njromancewriters.org and reserve your spot. Deadline is September 29.
 
Hope we'll see you on Saturday, October 14.
