Wanna hear something great? I got the news this week that Tepting Heat is a finalist for a Romance Writers of America® Vivian® award. Quelle surprise! This is the inaugural for the Vivians, the national organization's highest award for both published and unpublished romance novels.

Book 2 in the Cinnamon Roll Alphas series is a finalist in the mid-length contemporary romance category, and the winner will be announced in a live-streamed ceremony on July 31. Win or lose, it's an utter privilege to be included among these other talented authors.
