I often incorporate my love of food into my books. In HER FAKE ROMANCE, Julia Jones is a caterer. She's a struggling single mom of a -- gulp -- teenaged daughter.
Her Fake Romance is a fun, lighthearted sweet romance. Here's what one reviewer said, "The author's style was pure delight, fun and funky. Modern and very entertaining. I never would have thought that a fake romance could be so funny and emotional at the same time. HJ Top Pick!" ~HarlequinJunkie.com
