Secret billionaire? check Tropical vacation? check Hate-able bad chick? check Some good steamy scenes? check
This book has characters in their 40s because everyone deserves a chance at love! Cassie is a workaholic after her divorce. She dove into work because she didn't have anything else. All Wyatt has done his whole life is work, so he quits his billionaire business and becomes a bartender in the Caribbean to live the fun life.
I went back to what I'm known for in this book- secret billionaires on beach vacations! I have two sequels already planned (Julia and Brianna get their happy endings!) and a possible novella for Janessa!

The characters needed to change, but there was still a great story and so many words that I could use again. I didn't want the book to go into hibernation on my hard drive and never see the light of day again.
So, I changed everything. I made a mob family. TWO of them. I took out the darkness of my hero and put that darkness into the villain. I changed the setting. I changed the plot. I added a lot. I took out a lot.
It's a totally different book now :) It's a little bit darker than my usual happy-billionaire books, but that's okay. That's what happens when there's mafia. ...more

I had a blast writing this one. I wanted to up the stakes on the traditional marriage of convenience trope, and what better way to do that than by having a baby!
I loved writing the bad guys in this book. They were so delightfully scummy that I literally cackled as I wrote them. It reminded me of writing the stepmother in "American Cinderella" because it is was wonderful to be bad :D...more

This book started out as the serial, "A Baby for My Billionaire Stepbrother" under my erotica pen name. I never expected it to hit the Top 100. I never expected to have Amazon block it from sale.
And now, here it is- with the final segment- available in novel form. I can't tell you how stressful the process was (working with a giant corporation who you don't want to make angry is the kind of thing that gives people ulcers). But, it's out!
So, get it while Amazon has us on their good side, because if they decide to kill it again, there's no coming back from the grave twice.
NOTE: This is probably the steamiest, rough-language book in my Krista catalog. I drop the f bomb several times. There is a lot of scorching hot sex. (Remember, it was originally 5 parts+ 1 new part and each part had at least one sex scene.)
But, I hope you like it. I hope it scratches the Stepbrother fever that is going around!...more

It was originally published as a series called "A Baby for My Military Stepbrother" under my erotica pen name. The first three parts soared into the Amazon top 100 and I was ecstatic.
Then Amazon said it didn't meet their guidelines and blocked it from sale.
I was crushed. Three parts out and I had the next three parts already written. Yet, I couldn't offer it for sale.
After hundreds of fans emailed Amazon about this series and the other series that also got blocked (A Baby for My Billionaire Stepbrother), Amazon finally let me talk to them. They reviewed the content, and found that it really was a romance book- and that the content was appropriate. (Both series)
I am so glad to say that the emails from fans worked. The book was approved to go on sale. (THANK YOU FANS!)
So, now- thanks to amazing fans writing to Amazon and telling them to let us publish this book, "Stepbrother Hero" will be available June 1st. "Stepbrother's Gift" will be coming June 7th!

I loved the premise of a call girl falling for her customer and the complications that could arise. Friends wouldn't stop talking about it. I picked up the first book, not really knowing what to expect, and I was hooked. I scorched through the next 10 (at that time) books and sat eagerly awaiting the email announcement for the next.
Something about Miss Black really appealed to me as I read the books. There was such mystery and power behind her, with a hint of tragedy. I had already started coming up with my own little pet theories about her past as I read, but I didn't have a way to write them myself. Thus, when I heard that Ms. Ward was opening up her characters to Kindle Worlds, I was ecstatic. Ms Ward has created such a rich and dynamic universe of characters that it was a pleasure to write in it. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to put my own spin on Miss Black and give her the back-story that I craved. I loved putting her in the situations that created the Miss Black that we all know and hate and twisting her into what she would become. I'm incredibly grateful to Ms. Ward for giving authors everywhere the chance to visit her universe and let us play in it for a little while. This has been a wonderful experience and I hope that readers enjoy it as much as I did.
Let me tell you, it is hard to write about a billionaire when a werewolf keeps jumping in.
So, I sat down and wrote him his story. I LOVED writing this book. It flowed, it came almost effortlessly. I hit publish and waited anxiously to see it perform.
Unfortunately, it was plagued by glitches. We had to re-publish on Amazon due to a glitch that made it invisible to Amazon's ranking system. The book would sell, but it was dropping off the charts and losing all visibility. That in turn led to other problems, which meant that Wolf Six never performed like I thought it would.
Someday I'd like to write more about Captain Wolf. I have a plot bubbling on a back burner with how the conspiracy goes deeper and higher up, but I have other books I have to write first so I can pay my bills.
So, unfortunately, there won't be a sequel for a while. I hope to someday come back to the project and make it work the way I know it can, but for now, it's just not on the schedule. :/
“We’ll go over your rules in the car, Dean,” Rachel cut in, hustling me down the hallway. “We’re on a tight schedule today.” “Of course Ms. Weber,” Dean said smoothly, tipping his head. “As you wish.” Rachel gave him a brief smile before shooing me into the elevator."
And people did!! I got lots of emails from readers asking if Dean and Rachel could have their story. So, I gave them one.
My husband was in the army, so he was a great inspiration for Dean. Plus, I loved that I got to write about a soldier. There is something about those military men that I can't get enough of. I'm so glad I was able to give Dean and Rachel the happily ever after they deserve. I love that they got a second chance at finding their happiness and that readers everywhere have responded so nicely to it!...more

Aiden and Lena had their love story all worked out in my head, but then they kept trying to mess it up! It's funny how characters take on lives of their own sometimes!
This is very strongly based on Cinderella, and it was a lot of fun to modernize the old fairy tale and make it into something new and fresh.
Just in case you missed it, here's an easy comparison: Lena Masterson= Cinderella Aiden Hayes= Prince Charming Kathryn McDonald= Fairy godmother (and named for two of my very good friends) Alexa Jones and Calvin Abrams= Evil stepmother/sister Caribbean= ball Darcie Erickson= Gus Gus (also named for a friend!)
And of course there is a missing shoe! (Which makes the title that much better!)
I hope you all enjoy this latest in the Kisses series! Thank you all so much for giving me the opportunity to tell these stories :)...more

I hope that you enjoy this light-hearted read. It's just supposed to be a fun beach read, something to make you smile and hopefully make your heart light. Please forgive any inaccuracies, as I am not a billionaire nor have I been in a resort during a hurricane.
As I wrote this, Olivia and Logan kept giving me more of their back-story. I loved the idea of a love at first sight, but that the world just kept getting in their way. The fact that Logan pines after her for two years kept me falling for him.
