THIN ICE is Coming Next Week!

Yes! Thin Ice will be available in just a few days.

I can’t wait to introduce you to the high school coach who has the town’s silver fox dad all in a twist. It’s less than convenient having feelings for a closeted bi man…who also happens to be his son’s rival. Oops!

*The audiobook will be released soon after, narrated by the fabulous, Nick J. Russo.

Speaking of audiobook news, did you know that FALLING FOR RAINE is available in ebook, paperback, and audio too? The audio is narrated by Joel Leslie and wow! It’s so good! Check out the sample here.

Also, STARTING FROM THE COMPLETE COLLECTION is here! 5 novels, 5 short stories, one nice price! Just $9.99 for the entire Starting From series and for a short time, it’s available everywhere!

In other news, I was in Paris and London at the beginning of April and just returned home from a quick weekend in NYC to visit my kids. Both trips were wonderful, but yes…especially Paris. I have story ideas in my head! Here are a couple of pics from my trip.

FALLING FOR RAINE is LIVE!

FALLING FOR RAINE is available now! Are you ready to take a trip to Vegas and London and Cornwall? No ticket required, just a little Raine… 

I can’t wait for you to meet Raine, the good-natured hot mess looking for a little adventure and Graham, the grumpy sexy British gentleman who just can’t resist him!

Age-Gap Romance   Grumpy/Sunshine  Romantic Comedy  Adventures in the Fabulous UK!

*Available now on ebook and paperback. Coming soon to audiobook, narrated by Joel Leslie!

*FALLING FOR RAINE is a standalone, low-angst, rom-com with all the yummy feels. 

The gentleman, the hot mess, and a little British adventure…

Raine

Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this new job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner.

Except…I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse. And I definitely should because Graham Horsham is an infuriating, complicated grumpy bear with a razor-sharp tongue, a wickedly dry sense of humor, and…I like him far too much.

Help!

Graham

I’ve been bamboozled. I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go either. That isn’t like me.

And the timing couldn’t be worse. The Horsham Group is about to close one of our biggest deals ever, and I won’t jeopardize it. This one is personal. Yet so is Raine.

He’s a breath of fresh air—silly, impetuous, lighthearted, good-natured, and…quite lovely. I like him more than I want to admit. But not to worry…I will not, under any circumstances, fall for Raine.

Falling for Raine is an MM, age-gap romance featuring a British gentleman, a desperate but adorable American, and a UK adventure!

Happy Reading! Lane and George 🐾

FALLING FOR RAINE Cover Reveal!

Ta da! Get ready for my brand-new standalone, FALLING FOR RAINE, coming February 27. Mark your calendars! Cover art by the talented, Reese Dante. Isn’t this gorgeous?

I can’t wait for you to meet Raine and Graham! The hot mess, the British gentleman, and a little British adventure… This story was inspired by my British nana who happened to be from Northern England, and my recent travels to the UK. I couldn’t resist setting a book in a few of my favorite spots from that trip (like Cornwall). And what could be better than a funny, sexy story between an American who’s going through a rough patch and the British gentleman who seemingly has it all together. 

Or does he?

Preorder for FALLING FOR RAINE is available now! Audiobook coming soon, narrated by Joel Leslie!

Raine

Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner.

Hold up!

I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse. And I definitely should because Graham Horsham is an infuriating, complicated grumpy bear with a razor-sharp tongue, a wickedly dry sense of humor, and…I like him far too much.

Graham

I’ve been bamboozled. I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go and that’s madness. The Horsham Group is closing one of our biggest deals ever and I won’t jeopardize it. This one is personal.

Yet so is Raine.

He’s a breath of fresh air—silly, impetuous, lighthearted, good-natured, and…quite lovely. I like him more than I want to admit. For some reason, I can let my guard down with him. It’s unnerving and probably unprofessional.

But not to worry…I will not, under any circumstances, fall for Raine.

Happy New Year! Upcoming 2024 News!

I don’t know about you, but 2023 absolutely flew by for me! It was a super busy one too. I had seven releases, most of which are also available on audiobook…and quite a few translations. And yes…2024 is shaping up to be exciting!

Things to look for in January:

I’m releasing the box set for my bestselling Starting From Series with a brand-spanking-new short featuring Charlie, the fan-favorite, fabulous bossy manager of Zero. Woohoo! There are five full-length novels in this series and a handful of shorts on my website too, but it’s been a while since I’ve added new content and I have to say, I miss these guys. If you’ve missed this series, this will be a great opportunity to dive in!

Also look for the German translation for You, Again and the audiobook of Holiday Crush (narrated by Nick J. Russo)! Book 4 in my Elmwood Stories Series will be coming out this spring. I’ll give you a hint…the next one belongs to a certain silver fox realtor and of course…a hockey player!

Last but not least, the Cover Reveal for Falling For Raine will be coming soon too! This one is a standalone set in the UK, featuring a burly Brit exec and a fabulous hot mess desperately in need of a new start. Preorder is available now!

As always, thank you for your readership and your support. It truly means the world to me. I look forward to sharing new stories and new adventures with you in the new year. Wishing you all the best in 2024!

Happy Reading and Happy New Year! Lane…and George 🐾

🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️

The hockey has-been, the barista, and some holiday magic…

🏒Court

Cut from the team, fired my agent…now what? 

This can’t be it for me. Unfortunately, the phone isn’t ringing. My best bet is to head home for the holidays and regroup. 

Problem: I don’t know what to do with myself. Helping out at the rink might be my ticket out of here, but nothing is happening fast enough. And then there’s Ivan. No, no, it’s not what you think. We went to school together. We’re acquaintance-friends…nothing more.

But you know, I like him. A lot. He’s funny and relentlessly upbeat. I’m a better person when I’m with him—the kind who volunteers to deck the halls and wrap garland on lampposts and—

Whoa. What’s happening here?

☕Ivan

I love the holidays! But running the coffee shop on my own during the busiest season of the year is going to be a challenge. And the sudden appearance of my former crush is all kinds of distracting. 

See, I spent my formative years mooning over Court Henderson, our high school’s hockey phenom, even though he was out of my league. Thankfully, I grew up and left the silly remnants of my youth behind. Or did I? 

Grown-up Court is full of surprises, and under his gruff yet extremely fine exterior, he’s a good soul with a huge heart. He’s charming, sweet, handsome, and— Uh-oh. 

My crush is back. Just in time for the holidays…

Holiday Crush is an MM bisexual, small town romance featuring a renewed ancient crush, some mistletoe latte art, and a little seasonal magic.

The Humbug Holiday is 99 Cents! And More!

Need a sweet, low-angst holiday read? The Humbug Holiday is on sale for just 99 pennies from now until December 12.

Grumpy meets grumpy in this standalone holiday novella featuring a bestselling reclusive author and a small town handyman. Neither is a fan of the season and yet they can’t deny there’s some kind of magic in the air. The Humbug Holiday was released last year in ebook, paperback, and yes…audiobook too (narrated by Michael Dean)! It was also just released in German translation! Hope you enjoy!

❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄

By the way, only 3 DAYS to go till HOLIDAY CRUSH is here!

I can’t wait to introduce you to Court and Ivan, the down-on-his-luck hockey player and the fabulous barista from his hometown. Grumpy/sunshine and lattes galore coming your way. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone, but you still have time to read/listen Books 1 and 2, You, Again and Next Season! Both are available on audiobook, narrated by Nick J. Russo.

❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄

I have to admit, I’m not quite ready for the holidays, but my tree is up, so yay me! LOL I’ve only lost one ornament to curious George so far. I’ll call that a win. Not bad, eh?

Happy Holidays and Happy Reading! Lane and George

NEXT SEASON is Available in Audiobook!

Nick J. Russo is back to narrate NEXT SEASON, Book 2 in Elmwood Stories, and this might be one of my favorite narrations of his ever!

Wishing you a happy and joyful holiday.

Cut from the team, fired my agent…now what?

I can help out at the rink and visit the guy who owns the coffee shop next to my family’s bakery. No, no, it’s not what you think. Ivan and I went to school together. We’re acquaintance-friends…nothing more.

He’s also going through a tough time and if I can be a friend to him, I will ’cause under his gruff yet extremely fine exterior, he’s a good soul with a huge heart. He’s charming, sweet, handsome, and—uh oh.

The injured hockey player and the grumpy chef…

Riley

My time playing pro hockey will be up soon. I can feel it. And I’ve heard the rumors: he’s too old, he’s had too many injuries, he’s lost his edge. I don’t want to admit it, but they could be right. Next season might be my last.

Or this season. Because of course, this is when the universe decides I need another concussion. It’s a doozy too—the kind that’s going to keep me off skates for a while.

Which is how I end up in a small New England town in the middle of nowhere Vermont, eating every meal at a diner where a grumpy chef from Quebec makes haute cuisine…and burgers. Jean-Claude is funny and charming and—

Okay, I have a crush on a gay man.

This is a new one.

Jean-Claude

Confused straight men are entertaining. But Riley is…fascinating, sexy, and curiously vulnerable. His injury has rocked his confidence a bit, so perhaps he’s in need of a friend. Any friend. Even moi.

I’m an unlikely choice, but maybe he just likes my tuna salad.

No…I think it’s me.

And though I’m happy to help him explore his bisexual curious side, I have career concerns of my own. See, the things I love most about Elmwood seem shaky and uncertain, but not Riley. He’s solid and genuine. Suddenly, this temporary secret liaison feels more real than anything in my life.

I need more than this season. I want it all. With Riley.

Next Season is an MM bisexual-awakening romance featuring a grumpy chef, an injured hockey player, and a big HEA in a small town where anything can happen.

5 Days and Counting till NEXT SEASON is Here! And New French & Italian Translations!

Just a couple more days till NEXT SEASON is available! And if you love a grumpy/sunshine romance, this one is for you! Jean-Claude is a cranky chef with a secret past and Riley is an injured pro hockey player who just wants to get back on the ice. Neither is looking for anything special, but the best things happen when you least expect them!

❤ GRUMPY/SUNSHINE ❤SMALL TOWN ROMANCE ❤HOCKEY

❤❤❤

And check this out! I have two brand new foreign translations, one in French and one in Italian! The French translation of Leaning Into Forever… Pour..l’éternité is available now! And Out in the Deep…Dove l’acqua è più profonda is available in Italian translation. Coming soon to German…The Humbug Holiday!

I’m traveling on the East Coast with my mother for a few days visiting old family friends…and missing George. But wow…look at these colors!
