MY BOOKS

I currently have two romance books out on Amazon Kindle. My 3rd (and 4th!) are in the preparatory stages. Stay tuned!


Remember, you don't need to own a Kindle reader to read my books (or anyone else's Kindle books!)  You can download a free Kindle reading app for your mobile device 


MY PACE OR YOURS?

What happens when an over-the-top, flat-out, chronically rushed career woman hires the world’s slowest carpenter to complete her late father’s half-built B&B before she loses it to the mob? 

Type-A workaholic Beth Turner sure has her hands full: An eighty-hours-a-week real estate career ... "The Yesteryear," an unfinished inn left to her by her dad ... a loan-shark waiting to snatch away the extremely valuable property if Beth misses the almost impossible completion deadline ... and now: Sean Campbell.

Brilliant. Charming. A carpenter of legendary renown, Sean Campbell has no trouble convincing Beth that he's the man for the job ... except for the irritating fact that he is quite possibly the slowest-moving human on the face of the earth. Now add in some sultry summer heat, lust, and romance to mess things up and slow things down. Top it all off with a string of sabotage, courtesy of the murderous loan-shark, for which Beth blames Sean, and there goes the romance. And, barring miracles, there goes The Yesteryear.

But Sean is full of miraculous surprises, including his desperate transformation into a warp-speed building machine. But can even miracles overcome the loan-shark's final piece of sabotage ... one designed to put Beth out of his misery permanently?

"Hear this well: I don't do rush jobs ... ever."
Sean, in a construction-related argument with Beth.

"Hear this well: I don't do rush jobs ... ever."
Sean, in bed with Beth

What an absolutely charming book! Love, laughter, frustration, good guys and bad guys, a bit of a mystery and danger, angst, and a most satisfactory ending. This was a book read in one day (just couldn't put it down), and at the end I was left with a huge grin. I now look forward to reading more by Ms. Maloney.

PERHAPS ANOTHER TIME

1878. Life for textile worker Amanda Levesque is harsh and demoralizing -- until she meets and finds herself beguiled by the curious charm of Jesse Randall. Jesse, a stressed-out 21st-century workaholic, has traveled back in time through an intriguing 4-dimensional mural and decides to settle down in Amanda's quiet corner of eternity and be happy for a change.


But when Amanda must travel with Jesse to the present for a life-saving vaccine, she discovers a world of excitement and opportunity she has no intention of giving up ... until a crazed opportunist wants in on their time-travel action and kidnaps Amanda, the fabric of time is torn -- and this may cost her oldest and dearest friend his life.  Now comes the true test of Amanda's newfound mettle.

"Is it presumed that I should wear ... garments of this nature?"
Amanda, eyeing a circa-2013 woman wearing short-shorts and a tank top.

"Fifty miles an hour!  I daresay, this is so cool!"
Amanda, behind the wheel for the first time after overpowering her captor and fleeing in his Cadillac in a race against time to save her friend from the gallows.

This story is not your run-of-the-mill romance. There were many interesting touches. I especially enjoyed the historical details and portrayal of the mill workers. I am looking forward to reading the author's other book!
