#ReleaseDay for #Penelope my 19th published book!

Is there any better way to wake up in the morning than knowing you're going to celebrate the release of your 19th book? Well, there is. When you wake up (at 4:am to get your work done so you can celebrate) and you find out that the book has already gone bestseller. I've had the pleasure of this phenomenon a dozen times...it NEVER gets old.

Penelope is my 19th published book and the 2nd book in the THREE MRS. MONROES trilogy.

The trilogy follows the three widows of Adam Monroe and their sisterly bonding after his death. Yes, it is true contemporary romance, but let's face it. When you have three women with three very different personalities bonding...you're crossing into some chick lit! And I'm loving it!

I think sometimes you don't even realize you're going to write something like that. The plan was to write about these women moving on. But amidst the back drop of lies and deception, you find a sisterly bond. And...don't we all love that sisterly bond that can't be broken and makes us all feel whole?

So even though today is about PENELOPE. I'd love to share with you the amazing covers (designed by Viola Estrella) and the THREE MRS MONROES.

 From loss breeds new opportunity.

Amelia Monroe had felt the sharp pain from the loss of a soldier before—Adam Monroe’s death didn’t have that same effect.

Sam Jackson had one job—deliver Adam Monroe’s revised will. Even he couldn’t have anticipated that he’d be entangled in the web of lies his client had woven.

Doing what is right had been inbred in Amelia. She’d planned to say her goodbyes and start fresh. Staying in Adam’s small town with his other lies, that wasn’t part of her plan.

From loss breeds new life.

Penelope Monroe married on impulse and her heart had been broken by Adam Monroe’s lies. Pregnant she wonders how she will survive, alone, with her baby.

Brock Romero held Adam Monroe when he died in combat. Now released from the Army he makes it his priority to find Adam’s wife and share with her his last words.

On the verge of making the same mistake twice, Penelope must trust her heart—especially when new lies are uncovered.

 From loss breeds new beginnings

Vivian Monroe had been jaded. Her husband’s death only compounded the lies she’d only come to learn about.

Clayton North knows a thing or two about loss. He figured it was fate for him to meet Vivian Monroe. He’ll take on the challenge of helping her mend her heart.

Midst new friendships and new romance, Vivian must let go of her pain and face the woman who helped Adam Monroe weave his deceptive web
