Whiskey Valley is a small river town/city located in Indiana along the Ohio River. With a rich history in whiskey production and river commerce, the modern Whiskey Valley is a mecca for tourism and has even been featured in Places to See Magazine. Tourists flock to Whiskey Valley for the riverboat casinos, whiskey distilleries, wineries, unique shops, food, and festivals—the oh so many festivals! There are tours of historic venues and ghost tours as well. (Some locals believe Whiskey Valley to be one of the most haunted places in the region; other locals are extremely skeptical.) Some visitors to the valley may forgo the touristy attractions and instead head for the man-made ski slopes, go boating or kayaking on the river, or picnic in one of the many parks.

Whiskey Valley, a quaint and rather unique place, is the location of several romances. This romantic series begins with a “taste” of the valley, an instant love romance, and a cast of quirky characters guaranteed to make you smile and maybe cringe. The series continues for characters introduced in the first book, each book filled with romance, humor, and additional local characters.

A Taste of Whiskey Valley (Book 1, Jess & Tucker): A celebrity chef falls head over grill for a local bookstore owner.

Maybe Next Time (Book 2, Lucy & Jake): A newspaper reporter and sheriff disagree on just about everything—except their attraction to each other.

Maybe Someday (Book 3, Emma & Jackson): A romance rookie steps out of his comfort zone to woo the woman who holds his heart.

Maybe This Time (Book 4, Brooke & Wyatt): A woman determined to start over. A man determined to win back her love.

The Sweetest Christmas (Book 5, EJ & Max): Whiskey Valley’s favorite baker has the sweetest Christmas in this humorous, holiday romance novella.

Four years ago this month, I published Maybe Next Time, the second book in my Whiskey Valley Romance series. This book - oh my, this book - ignited that spark between Lucy and Jake as foreshadowed in A Taste of Whiskey Valley, where they were secondary characters. Maybe Next Time also introduced some of my favorite Whiskey Valley characters that continue to appear throughout the series. I liked the characters in Maybe Next Time so much that I created a spin-off series for them!

Busy juggling the new business and a major renovation, she tempts fate by declaring zero interest in the local men, especially the tall, dark, and sexy devil who claims to be her business partner. He broke her heart once upon a time, but this time around, she’s immune to his seductive charm.

Millionaire Wyatt Henessey is determined to rekindle his relationship with Brooke. Being a partner in her new venture is the first step back into her life. Step two involves using his charm and seduction skills. Wyatt refuses to live with more regrets. When his past came back to haunt him, he had paid the price and let Brooke walk out of his life, but this time around, he’ll keep her close no matter what the cost.

When local ghost hunters claim the future site of the new business is the most haunted place in Whiskey Valley, Brooke and Wyatt delve into the history of the property and discover a story of duty, heartbreak and loss. Haunted by their past, guarding their hearts in the present, will Brooke and Wyatt take a chance on love this time around and forge a future together?
