As the threats escalate, Shane and Jules are thrown together. The resulting passion overwhelms them. But are they willing to trust each other and surrender to the flames of love.

This was supposed to be her year. However, after losing her job and discovering her fiancé cheating, Maggie Collins has her doubts. When her grandmother dies, she hits rock bottom. Maggie travels to her grandmother’s home in Orkney, Scotland to sort through her gran’s things, only to discover the old woman has left her a seal pelt as her inheritance. She also learns that others are after the pelt.

To add to her frustration, Maggie’s dreams are filled with luscious images of a long-haired man, images that draw her to the magical beaches in Orkney. Although she’s lost her trust in men, this dream man inspires her with a lust she’s never known before.

Calan Kirk has also been dreaming. Dreaming of Maggie, the mortal woman who arouses him as no other woman ever has. Meeting her in the flesh when she arrives in Orkney is nothing short of spontaneous sexual combustion. But she is a human, and not to be trusted. He needs the seal pelt, not a red-haired temptress.

As a thief ransacks Maggie’s grandmother’s house, Maggie and Calan are thrust together. They must search for the animal skin, a mythical relic which once found, will either bring them together or rip them apart forever.

Describe your books in 3 words?

Fun, sexy, dreamy.

If you could be any character from one of your books who would it be?

Hmm, that is a toughie. I would willingly trade places for a while with just about any of my heroines (you know, to sample the goods), but I think if I had to pick one, I'd go with Maia Douglas, my heroine from For the Love of a God. After all, she has relations with the god of love, who in my story is renowned for being an incredible lover. Yeah, I'd like to try him on for size. ;)

What is your greatest fear about being an author/publishing your book(s)?

Great question! I'm not afraid to put my stories out there because I'm proud of my work. I think the scariest part is dealing with pirates. It is so disheartening to see your work being stolen and it's a great deal of work getting a pirate to take the book off his site.

Would the 10 year-old version of yourself kick your butt or praise you for what you've accomplished in life?

Wow, maybe she'd do a bit of both. Mostly, I think she'd be proud. Little Rosanna loved writing.

What do you do when you finish your book and turn it in to the editor?

I put it out of my head and immediately start the next book. After all, until the editor gets back to me with revisions, there's nothing I can do. I find it refreshing to distance myself from a manuscript anyway.

What is your favorite Genre and why?

Paranormal romance, for the sheer fantasy and promise it holds. We all love to believe in characters who are larger-than-life and super-human. I adore living in that world when I write in the genre.

What is one thing that would surprise us to know about you?

I have epilepsy and have had the condition since I was 10. It's definitely led to me feeling like a bit of an underdog for a lot of my life, but living with it has taught me much about myself.

Was there an Author who inspired you to write?

There wasn't one author who inspired me in this way. The inspiration came from inside me. The need to write was always there, but I had to allow myself to explore it.

How did you come up with the characters in your books?

There's not really one way I come up with them. They generally come to me, demanding I write their stories!

Do you prefer to write alone or do you like to collaborate with other authors?

No, I am a lone wolf. Of course, I haven't collaborated with anyone yet, and wouldn't discount it, but it's such a personal journey, and for now I'm happy going it alone.

Everyone uses computers, tablets, phones and no one uses handwritten form or typewriters, what do you prefer to use?

I have my trusty laptop and wouldn't know what to do without it. That being said, I take copious written notes all the time and carry notebooks with me so I can record inspirations when they come.

Is there a ritual you do before you begin your book?

Not really. I just sit myself down in my chair and begin writing. Bums in seats does it every time.
