Dear Readers,
Because of you and your continued support, NOBODY BUT YOU hit the New York Times and the USA Today bestsellers lists. I was humbled and thrilled. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Next up is Book # 5 in the Invincible Women series, AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE, scheduled for release June 23, 2009. What do you do when after fourteen years of marriage your husband suddenly divorces you, leaving you with two unhappy children, a stack of bills, a house and a yard that needs work — while he happily lives his dream? Gina Rawlings had better find the answer and fast. This book holds a very special place as a career milestone. It is my 40th book in my career to be published. Bless you for enabling me to live my dream!
November will see the release of ONE NIGHT WITH YOU, Duncan McBride's story. Faith and Cameron might have escaped the McBride family curse, but Duncan doesn't hold out much hope for himself. But, then, he hasn't met Raven La Blanc! Readers met Raven in IRRESISTIBLE YOU when Ruth Grayson used her to push Pierce toward Sabra. I wonder if Ruth is up to a little match-making between Raven and Duncan. If so, this time she might need a little help.
Hugs and happy reading,
Francis
AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE
June 23, 2009
Gina Rawlings is dealing with a cheating husband, a messy divorce, two unhappy children, and a floundering travel business when the very handsome new owner of the local B&B, Max Broussard, enters her life. Max needs to turn the B&B around and the first thing it needs is a woman's touch. He offers to redesign Gina's website for a bit of interior design help.
As they work closely together, Gina realizes that her ex-husband wasn't her only chance at love. However, when her ex (and all his baggage) reenters the picture, Gina's life is turned upside down, while her daughter and son are ecstatic. Now Gina is wondering whether she should be with the man she loves or take back the father of her children for the sake of her family.
