Shifting Gears is Almost Here
← I think this might be my favorite cover ever.
The widowed mechanic’s newest customer wants him to do a lot more than fix her car. She’s beautiful and smart—she’s also twenty years younger than him. Can their connection heal his broken heart?
SHIFTING GEARS is my newest book, and it’s coming your way on July 27th! The pre-order sale price is 99¢
This romance has the perfect balance of heat and sweet. I love Granger and Dove, and I think you will, too.
- instalove
- novella / short read
- mature characters
- hot sexy times
- sweet moments
- happily ever after
SHIFTING GEARS is my first instalove novella. If you’re unfamiliar with “instalove,” it’s a romance term for characters who are drawn to each other immediately, and know they’re meant to be together. There’s less conflict, and the road to happily-ever-after is less rocky in an instalove romance.
The paperback edition of SHIFTING GEARS is live early, so you can get it now. (And you definitely should, because this cover is even better in person!

Cover Reveal— STEALING HOME by Karla Doyle
I’ve been sitting on the cover for STEALING HOME for what seems like forever, but it’s finally time to let the rest of the world enjoy it too. Ta-da! Isn’t it gorgeous and drool-worthy? Go ahead and lick the screen, I won’t tell. 😉
![Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000035_00020]](http://www.karladoyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/StealingHome_KarlaDoyle_eCover-632x1024.jpg)
STEALING HOME
When Paige’s latest attempt at happily-ever-after with a nice guy tanks, she decides to quit fighting her destiny. She craves bad boys. Men who deliver short-term, panty-melting excitement, not reliability and settling down. If she’s going to embrace her true nature, who better to start with than the dark-haired, tattooed ballplayer whose cocky attitude gives her more thrills than any steady boyfriend ever has…
Alex had major league plans for his life until it threw him an unexpected and unwelcome curve ball. Switching gears to pursue his other passion was a rough road, but things are good—aside from his MIA muse. When a chance meeting with a blonde firecracker stirs his creative juices—and more—Alex is game to see where their chemistry leads. Trouble is, his potential Miss Right thinks she’s only capable of playing the field.
Stealing Home is a full-length standalone novel, and it’s hot, hot, hot!
Scheduled for release in ebook & print June 18, 2015.

Cover Reveal and a Giveaway—CHERRY ON TOP
It’s here! Cover reveal day for CHERRY ON TOP! I knew as soon as I saw this image, many months ago, that it was the one for this book. I love the romantic sexiness and the playful expressions on both their faces—it’s a perfect fit for Ben & Lindsay’s story.
Cherry on Top
Close to Home Series ~ Book 3
Lindsay could write the book on falling in love—with the wrong guy. From bad boys to a married man, she’s made one bad choice after another, gravitating toward men destined to hurt her. Except at her brother’s wedding. This time, she’s drawn to a good guy—the pastor. Ben is handsome, single, and definitely interested. But with her past mistakes, maybe Ben is too good…
After two tours in the Middle East, Ben returned home needing peace and purpose. He found it as pastor of a laid-back, small-town church. There’s just one thing missing from his life—love. In a community of a couple thousand, his options are limited. Until Lindsay comes to town for a wedding. Sparks fly between them, but she’s skittish. If Ben wants her to stay, he’ll have to convince her that he’s more than a man of God—he’s the right man for her.
I’m giving away 4 ebooks & a $10 Amazon gift card to celebrate! Just click over to Rafflecopter and enter the draw!

Cover Reveal – GIFT WRAPPED
It’s time! I love cover reveals, they’re so fun & exciting. Especially when they’re mine. 😉
So, here it is… the cover for my upcoming holiday release, GIFT WRAPPED, coming this November to steam up your e-reader!
Blurb
After catching her boyfriend cheating the week before Christmas, Brinn is seriously lacking in holiday spirit. So when she looks into the eyes of a last-minute shopper after closing on Christmas Eve, she’s sarcastic rather than sympathetic. But Brinn is ever the good girl and her conscience wins out. She offers the handsome stranger ten minutes to select a gift and ends up with a present of her own—a date. On Christmas Eve.
Davis hates Christmas. Especially this year, since a neighborhood heist liberated him of his hard-earned belongings and the few gifts he’d purchased. But the robbery led him to a cute store manager with a sense of humor, smokin’ body and no plans for the evening. Mistletoe might be in order after all.
Their Christmas Eve date is like gift-wrapped, sexy satisfaction. But the best gifts keep on giving, and one naughty night may not be enough—for either of them.
I’d love to hear what you think of the cover, the blurb, the excerpt… I hope you’re as excited about Davis & Brinn’s fun holiday romance as I am! 🙂

Coming Soon — GIFT WRAPPED
I wish I was one of those organized writers with carefully plotted schedules and plans that they stick to. Maybe one day. (Those who know me best are now rolling with laughter.) But since I’m not that kind of writer, I decided to work like a maniac and finish up a holiday story now, so you can enjoy some sexy Christmas fun with Brinn & Davis this fall. 🙂
Coming Soon to heat up your e-readers… GIFT WRAPPED
And for some extra fun, here’s an (unedited) excerpt:

Cover Reveal—Ascension by A.S. Fenichel
I’m so happy to help my very good friend, author A.S. Fenichel, reveal her beautiful new cover for her upcoming release with Kensington Publishing-Lyrical Press. I “oohed” and “aahed” when she first showed me, and I still think it’s simply gorgeous. Plus, you’re going to love the story inside the cover when Ascension releases this fall.
Isn’t it stunning? And here’s the equally intriguing blurb:
