Love is in the air and it’s release day for Perfectly Together!! Woohoo!! I hope you enjoy Book 6, the final book in the Perfectly Series! Get your copy HERE

Happy Valentine’s Day 😀

The release day for Perfectly Together has been set for February 14!! It will be a Valentine’s treat. 😀

In the meantime, I thought I’d share some Perfectly Together fun facts.

Having a cover designed is one of the best parts of the publishing process. It’s when the vision of my book and characters really come alive. I thought I’d share the evolution of the covers. The design on the left was the first iteration by graphic designer Rae Monet, and the design on the right is the final. I thought the red font of the title was too busy, and I asked if the background behind the couple could be white to match the other books in the series. It’s a little plainer but I like the simplicity. I thought the chalet vector in the lower left captured the essence of the building that Jayden loves. The two hearts with stethoscopes represent the two doctors in the story.

 

 

 

The e-version of the book only shows a front cover, but I also get print copies so I need a back cover as well. The original design of the back cover featured the Home Sweet Home sentiment which fit the story, but was a little too homey. Graphic designer Karen Duvall found 2 other cool graphics – one of a set of skis and the other, a ski hill. The ski hill was my vision of the panoramic view Jayden has when she looks out her window. And it’s blue so it matches the Interlock Publishing logo!

 

 

Decisions made – the covers are at the printer and I should have print copies in a couple of weeks. Very exciting!

 

Perfectly Together ~ Book 6

Newly graduated naturopathic doctor Jayden Locke has a dream – start a practice in small-town Emerson and never move again. She’s found the perfect office building to buy. It passes an inspection, design plans are drawn up, and the bank okays the loan. Only one problem.

Dr. Cole Cameron scoops it before she has a chance to submit an offer. What?

It’s a good investment. Cole isn’t interested in settling down. He works three jobs in three different towns and would just as soon keep moving. But something about Jayden’s defiant eyes and sexy smile makes him pause and reconsider.

What are the chances that a heart filled with wanderlust and a soul longing for a home fit Perfectly Together?

Perfectly Together, book 6 in the Perfectly Series, is the first book in the series to occur after Perfectly Honest, book 1. Books 2 and 3 occur before and Books 4 and 5 take place around the same time as Perfectly Honest. Perfectly Together happens 2 years after Mikaela and Sam meet in Book 1. And fittingly, Jayden settles in Emerson – full circle. 😀

Due to some technical wizardry, the release day for Perfectly Together has been set for February 14!! It will be a Valentine’s treat. 😀

In the meantime, I thought I’d share some Perfectly Together fun facts.

I started writing Perfectly Together while on holiday in the Cayman Islands with my mom and sisters. So the first 2 chapters were written pool-side on warm sunny days.

 

The release of Perfectly Together is set for Feb 14 – a Valentine’s Day treat. I had fun writing it because I brought all the characters from the Perfectly Series perfectly together. 😀 Enjoy this excerpt!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The weight of disappointment settled on her shoulders and an ache filled her chest. Her dream tumbled like a collapsing house of cards. She couldn’t bear it, and turned to go.

“Wait, maybe we could work something out.”

She looked back.

His eyes lit up and the green flecks glowed. “I planned on renting it out. We can renovate the interior to suit. Sounds like it would work out perfectly.”

For you, maybe. She longed to own. The thought of renting, of living at the whim of someone else, made her stomach twist in knots. She couldn’t do it. She wanted stability and needed permanency.

She blinked back tears. It had been so close.

“You’re thinking of a clinic? Are you a doctor?” he asked.

“I’m a naturopath – a doctor of naturopathy.”

Cole’s eyes widened and he smirked. “A naturopath? Interesting. What exactly do you do? Hand out herbs? Read a crystal ball?” He grinned. “Voodoo?”

Jayden put her hands on her hips. “Naturopaths follow the same curriculum as medical doctors and then get additional training in natural medicine,” she said stiffly.

He held up his hands. “Sounds very . . . important.”

She narrowed her eyes. Was he mocking her? “I don’t think renting would work. I was really looking to buy.” She couldn’t keep the disappointment from her voice. “Good luck to you, though.” She glanced around one last time and walked to the front door.

A hand on her arm stopped her. “Take my card,” Cole said, offering it to her. “Think about it. If you change your mind, give me a call. I’m hoping to get underway in the next couple of weeks.” He tilted his head, the green flecks twinkling. “You know, you don’t look like a naturopath.”

Pft. She rolled her eyes. Should she even bother taking his card? She glanced at the open expanse out the window, the sunlight streaming in, and the view of the mountain.

Would it be worth it? Her dream property, at what cost?

He raised his eyebrows, and her heart stumbled at the interest in his dark blue eyes, the green specks mocking her with a dare.

She plucked the card out of his hand. Hopefully it had a picture on it. It might be a useful target for dart practice.

They’re a feisty couple. Haha Preorder your copy now ~ click HERE

Perfectly Christmas is Book 5 in the Perfectly Series.

On the first day of Christmas, his true love said to him, “Sorry, I have to work.” That’s the life of a surgeon, and Dr. Madison Hayes wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dr. Quinn Malone has another priority. In the countdown to Christmas, he needs to convince his old flame that there’s more to life – and love – than the job itself. This time, his heart is in it for the long haul. Really.

Romantic and . . . complicated – it’s Perfectly Christmas!

Perfectly Unpredictable is Book 4 in the Perfectly Series.

Kalia Beck always dreamed of starting a family, living in a house with a white picket fence, and finding her soul mate. Just not in that order. Kalia is coping with an unplanned pregnancy when she learns the father has passed away. She soon finds out that single parenthood isn’t easy, especially when the only thing that soothes the baby is the guitar-playing of a reluctant and reclusive next-door neighbor.

Mack Challen, lead guitarist in a rock and roll band, knows it takes a village to raise a child. He just doesn’t think there’s a village big enough to help “gay momma” and her screaming baby.

Kalia and Mack aren’t looking for love and aren’t ready for each other, but when the future unfolds, it’s … Perfectly Unpredictable.

Perfectly Planned is Book 3 in the Perfectly Series.

Chloe Keay is on the hunt for the perfect sperm donor, but who knew it would be this hard? So many things to consider in a father – sure height and hair color are important, but what about the real issues. How does he feel about bagpipe music? Does he buy the extended warranty? Skittles or M&Ms? She doesn’t want an average Joe. She’s narrowed it down to two candidates and has the perfect plan to pick the heir and the spare.

Staff Sergeant Rip Logan, head of the elite Tactics and Rescue Unit, has a gut feeling that Chloe Keay is trouble. She’s a sexy little spark plug who radiates innocence, but it doesn’t jibe with her suspicious behavior and probing questions. The fact that he’s attracted irritates him. What exactly is she after? And should he go with his gut or follow his heart?

Planning for love – what could possibly go wrong?
