COVER REVEAL!!!
GREETINGS, FRIENDS!!! It’s that magical time of year where I wear sweaters, even when the temperature is only in the 70’s; popcorn and hot cocoa mix are stored in the cupboard religiously, and sentimentality rules the house with every decoration that gets put up. At this point, my kids don’t even eyeroll anymore. They know that when I pull out that art project they made in kindergarten or first or second, etc., I have to tearfully hug them close because I still see them as those adorable five-year-olds even though they are now twenty. They are identical twin boys. My biggest achievement? I accomplished the impossible. It only took 22 years of marriage, but my husband can be called a holiday movie addict who now loves Christmas. It’s his crack during this time of year, particularly the ones that have Santa magic in them. The big, bad biologist, the scientist that relies on data points, looks for Santa magic in his Hallmark Christmas movies. Isn’t that adorable? For that reason, new Hallmark movies are lovingly DVR’ed so as not to miss favorite ones. And yes, there are favorite ones. Some final BIG NEWS.…drumroll please…I HAVE A COVER REVEAL! KEEP SCROLLING TO SEE IT! Coming out December 29th is DIAMONDS ON THE WATER, Hermosa Beach Memoirs, #3. I’m so excited because this last year was one of the hardest I’ve lived through in my life. I don’t say that lightly. I wasn’t sure I’d get this book finished, and yet, here it is. I wish you all a restful holiday season, and part of that rest might include a new book boyfriend named Magnus. See for yourself! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! All my best, Danube Adele DIAMONDS ON THE WATER He thinks she’s a brat… she thinks he’s a bosshole. I hate Magnus Johanson. He’s a rude, grumpy, boss-tyrant who’s never satisfied with anything I do at the bar Yes, he’s got big, delicious muscles that I would normally want to squeeze like I was testing fruit at the grocery store. Fine, his arm tattoos are hot and make me wonder what else he’s got going on under the T-shirt that’s stretched taught across his pecs. And, whatever. His sharp, gray eyes are sexy, particularly on the rare occasion they’ve turned smokey and tracked me across the bar. Doesn’t channge anything. He still sees me as who I was and not who I am. So why do I fantasize about climbing his big, sexy body?Bethany Roman is the perfect poster child of spoiled entitlement. Princess. Diva. And capable of pissing me off like no other.I may have noticed that she has warm, rich, chocolate doe-eyes that sometimes hint at a deep vulnerability when I catch her off-guard. And for some reason, when she gets ticked and goes toe-to-toe with me, it makes me hard, so I piss her off at every opportunity. Of course, I’ve noticed she’s got a body that would rock a swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated. But she’s only ever cared about herself, and I want no part of that.Except I can’t ignore this driving need to claim her. Make her mine. PREORDER ON AMAZON! Specific links below: US UK AU CA ...

I’m so excited to bring this book out into the world! I wasn’t sure it was going to happen. My family is going through a challenging time, and I was certain I would have to put this off indefinitely. To be honest, it’s been a pretty rough couple of months. We’ve been working to handle some heavy issues over here. Luckily, the book was far enough along, and with enough late nights thrown in there (who needs sleep, right?), I managed to push on through. I would love to know what you think. Happy Holidays! Danube WHO DOESN’T LIKE A STEAMY READ? Meet Blessing Mendoza: chic geek, badass game designer, unapologetically irreverent, and a fiercely loyal ride or die kind of friend.Her RPG (role playing game) is her heart and soul. It’s been years in the making. She designed the art, developed the story, and completed the coding. It’s beautiful, ethereal, magical, steampunk fantasy, and already, rumors about it are spreading in the tech world. Meet Ian Patrick: tall, dark, sexy AF, and ruthless when it comes to the business of game design. He’s moved in next door with a plan to negotiate for the rights to the game that will solidify his control of the company he works for, Gamecon, Inc. The only problem is she refuses to engage. She disdains the company he represents, seeing it as a soulless entity lacking any integrity. And he knows she’s right. A complication? He might be falling for her. A further complication? He might want to jump ship and join her team. LEARN...

Read MoreBEACHY FUN IN HERMOSA!
The setting of my new series, Hermosa Beach Memoirs, takes place in Hermosa Beach, which is a real place in southern California. It is seriously my favorite beach to go to. It’s gorgeous, the water is a beautiful blue, particularly when the sky is clear, and during the week, there are not many people out. In the book, the places, are made up, but if you haven’t been here, I hope you take the chance to splash around and lay out under the sun to dry. The Pacific Ocean is not as warm as you might wish it to be, but when it is a million degrees inland, a cool dip feels amazing. The trick, and if you have a pool you know this to be true, is to master the technique of a controlled freeze. Right? You have to be cold to be warm. Let the frigid water do what it will, rush up into all your nooks and crannies, and stand in the chilly air for a minute. You have to be wet and extra cold. Then, the magic happens. The water suddenly feels lovely. That’s how I found myself diving through the waves a few weeks ago with my family. Due to COVID, I had not been to the beach in a long while, but it is one of my favorite places to be in the summer. It’s the inspiration for my book: One Breath to the Next. HERMOSA BEACH MEMOIRS, #1 One Breath to the Next TO KNOW MASON IS TO LOVE HIM! Meet Mason: military vet with PTSD – gym owner. Layla is the girl he can’t live without – the catch? She’s fighting a past that’s left her feeling burned, but she’s just as obsessed with him. Her offer? Sex – no hearts, no flowers, no strings. How could he say no? This is a steamy read with a military vet who doesn’t believe he deserves to find happiness, and a woman who could inspire him to try. They may just be perfect for each other. LEARN MORE HERE!
