There’s more to life than romance.
An odd statement coming from someone who writes romantic suspense novels, but the truth is the truth. We can’t survive on romance alone. We all need connection with other people in all sorts of different relationships—not just romantic ones.
BETRAYED, the second in my Sisters by Choice series, will be released soon. So, why did I choose the name Sisters by Choice for the series, especially when they are romantic suspense? As in life, not everything is about the romance! Friendships are important!
For many people, their friends are more important in their daily lives than their family. With families scattered from one end of the country to the other and even across the world, friendships often replace the family bonds from past eras. Sure, we still love our families but if they aren’t nearby, it can make for loneliness and feelings of isolation—if we let it! But we don’t have to let it, and that’s what I wanted to show in the Sisters by Choice series.
Family isn’t just blood, it’s about the bonds we form. Those bonds are formed as we go through life together. We can be there to help others during their crises, and as we do emotional bonds will form. Those bonds can take strangers, acquaintances, and even friends, and transform them into family.
That’s what I want to show in my Sisters by Choice series. Women who are willing to help others in their time of crisis. Women who will go the extra mile—take the extra time—use the extra energy to help another woman in need.
BETRAYED, the second in my Sisters by Choice series, will be released soon. The first in the series was DECEPTION, which is about a pair of estranged twins. As Patti searches for her twin, she forges an unlikely bond with the wife of a terrorist. A wife who didn’t know her husband was a terrorist!
As they do, they become family to each other. And we all need family—whether it’s by birth or by choice.

Witness Protection Program claims they can keep anyone safe if only they follow the rules so Maria follows the rules–every rule. She’s given up everything–her friends, her family, her past, even her name to ensure her daughter has a future.
Reborn as Veronica Minor in the sleepy little town of Sunberry, Ohio, she struggles to rebuild their life amid the beauty of her flower shop. A life where her daughter can have a happy normal childhood. A life where her daughter will never know that her father was a monster.
When a child disappears, Veronica prays it has nothing to do with her past, but what if she’s wrong? Not knowing who to trust, she trusts no one…and that’s her first mistake.
