read an excerpt
Dear
Reader,
Teenage
pregnancy seems to keep cropping up in my books in one form
or another. I think because the conflict is inbuilt. Having
a baby can be the most awesome, wonderful experience in a
woman's life but if you're young, without money, job or life
partner, you're bound to have a few worries, too. If you're
ambitious like Jane, the heroine in How To Trap A Parent,
you have to work out your priorities early on.
We
hardly ever consider the boy's role or feelings. The hero,
Cole, fathered not one but two babies to different girls as
a teenager. Talk about anxiety! He married out of duty, lost
the woman he loved and missed out on one daughter's early
years.
This
book is about a lot of things - family, home, vineyards, horses,
daughters and sisters, thwarted ambitions and dreams fulfilled.
But mostly it's about a love affair that blossoms again after
years apart.
I
hope you enjoy Jane and Cole's story as much as I enjoyed
writing it. I love to hear from readers. You can email me
