About the Author:

My husband and I live outside Atlanta, Georgia, with our two children and two dogs.  I have a journalism degree from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and I’m a member of Atlanta Writers Club, the Romance Writers of America, Georgia Romance Writers and the Women’s Fiction Chapter of Romance Writers of America.  I’ve been writing seriously since 2004 and made the decision to indie publish in 2011.

Many people have helped me along my path to publication including my wonderful critique partners Laura Butler, Susan Sands, Tracy Solheim, Kate Bowman and Lourdes Esquilin.  I’ve had valuable input from professional editors Lisa Hazard (hazardediting.blogspot.com), Cassie Robertson, Susan Snowden, and Peter Gelfan.  My author photo was taken by my friend and talented photographer Jane Dowd (janedowdphotography.com).  My website was designed and is maintained by Lisa Bailey (www.lionstarcreativegroup.com).

Featured Title:  The Sweetheart Hoax
Publication Date:  January 2012

When urbane architect, Phil Williams, must bring a woman home to quell rumors he's gay, his only choice is the one woman least likely to impress: his dowdy receptionist.

Margot Manning has been secretly in love with Phil for years. She's just quit her job and is ready to begin her life anew as a nurse. Phil's outrageous offer is one she can't refuse. As Margot readies to accompany Phil to his hometown, she steels herself for heartbreak.

After Margot's makeover and a weekend spent attached at the hip, Phil admits he misjudged his former employee. He's ready to pursue her in earnest, if only her scandalous past didn't stand in their way.


Companion titles:

When magazine writer, Kate Donovan, is assigned to profile the building and architectural firm of her first and only love, she heads back to the South Carolina Low Country to face the demons she left behind.

Nothing about Danny Flannery’s life is what Kate thought it would be and as the truth is revealed she longs for a big fat do-over. Danny’s made a success of his building firm but is hesitant to participate in a flashy magazine spread. He’s dead-set against it when he realizes the journalist sent to interview him is the only woman he’s ever loved and lost.

Under pressure from his business partner, Danny agrees to sit down for an interview with the girl he once knew as Kat Fordham and realizes her name isn’t the only thing that’s changed. Everything he thought was true about the past is a lie. When Danny discovers Kate still wears the heart shaped sea glass necklace he made for her years ago, they clear the air and their passion reignites. But Kate’s still keeping secrets to protect their fragile new relationship. With her family estranged and her career on the line, will she come clean before Danny finds out the truth and can Danny risk his heart again for the only woman he’s ever loved?

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

About the book: Sebastian Madinger, the Earl of Wriothesly, thought he'd married the perfect woman-until a fatal accident revealed her betrayal with his best friend. After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets...
