Contemporary & Regency Romance

I’m a rare breed.

I write women who refuse to sit down and be sensible. The happy ending is guaranteed. Earning it is not.

'Til Death Us Do Part by Annie Oortman — book cover

Should a woman give the man who once loved her — then killed her — a second chance at either?

Vicky Golden died four years ago. Officially. The woman guiding climbers up Mt. Shasta under a different name would like to keep it that way — right up until the Dutch aristocrat whose geothermal project she's fighting turns out to be the husband who buried her.

Christiaan van Laere has spent four years grieving a wife he couldn't save. He doesn't recognize the woman standing between him and the mountain. He only knows he can't stop looking at her.

Book One
Reins of Change
Cover to come

Four women. Four years. A sport with no intention of letting any of them in.

Reins of Change is a four-book Regency series set in the male-dominated world of horse racing — where a woman's name on a race card is a scandal, and winning is worse.

Book one arrives in 2027. Title, cover, and date go to the mailing list before they go anywhere else.

The mailing list

I write when there's something to say.

Which is not often, and never on a schedule. You'll hear from me when a book has a cover, a date, or a first chapter worth reading — plus the occasional story about something I overheard in a grocery store line and couldn't let go of.
