After several of her novellas saw print in Secrets, Berkley editor Cindy Hwang discovered her work there and asked her to write for the company. Since then she's published four novels. One of them, The Forever Kiss, won Romantic Times Bookclub's Critics Choice award for Best Erotic Romance. Another, Master of the Moon, spent three weeks on the USA Today bestseller list.
