New Series! New Box Set! New Cover! Free Reads!

So excited to share lots of great news with you! (and possibly use up my entire year’s worth of exclamation points in one post <g>).

First, my new series for Entangled Publishing has a new name and my first book in the series has a fab new title.

Drum roll, please!

Watch this space for a cover reveal for Icing Temptation, the first book in my Dockers Score! series. Tentative launch date is Jan/Feb 2021, hopefully just as hockey is getting back underway for the long-delayed 2020-21 season.

Lots of news for my New Jersey Ice Cats series too.

First, a delicious new cover for A Perfect Catch.

Also, I’ve now released A Perfect Collection, which contains the first 3 full length books in the New Jersey Ice Cats series and a bonus novella.

And, because it’s the season of giving, head over to my For Readers‘ section and download not 1, not 2, but 3 free, bite-size festive reads!

As a bonus, you can also download the French and German versions of A Perfect Party!

Wherever you are and however you celebrate, I wish you and yours a wonderful festive season. Please stay safe and take care so that we can all have a happy and healthy 2021!

New Look New Jersey Ice Cats! New Series!

So excited to be able to share lots of great news with you!

First, the relaunch of the first two books in my New Jersey Ice Cats series, A Perfect Distraction and A Perfect Trade. Aren’t these new covers delish?

These will be avilable in ebook only, for now, but watch this space as I’m working on Print on Demand.

A Perfect Distraction is available now and A Perfect Trade is up for preorders, available June 11.

Look out too for my novella, A Perfect Grey Christmas, featuring the character my lovely readers ask most about, former Ice Cat and now successful restauranteur, the delicious Ryan Grey.

Ryan’s story originally appeared in the anthology, Christmas at Caynham Castle. I’m now releasing it on its own, with a yummy New Jersey Ice Cats cover. The anthology is still available, if you’d prefer.

A Perfect Grey Christmas is available for preorder and will be available just in time for the July 4th holiday – a Christmas in July treat!

News!

This won’t be a surprise to those of you who follow me on social media, or who receive my newsletter … but for the rest of you, I am delighted to have signed a contract with Entangled Publishing for the first book in a new hockey romance series, featuring the Newark Dockers. Tentatively titled Defending Dante, this book is with my editor and I’m hoping for news on a release date soon. So, stay tuned!

Don’t worry – that doesn’t mean there won’t be any more New Jersey Ice Cats. There are several stories still to write. I know you have your favourites, the ones you’d like to see featured next … Mad Dog, Kenny, Chase, Juergen … and I’ll try to oblige at least some of them.

In the meantime, you can look forward to some new hockey heroes and the women who will win their hearts!

Happy Reading!

Exciting February!

Happy New Year everyone!

Hope your holidays were fantastic and that you’ve started 2015 well and in a positive frame of mind!

Lots of exciting news to report.

First, not long now until A Perfect Catch hits the shelves. Those of you who have been waiting for Ike and Tracy’s story will finally be able to read their story. I was thrilled to receive 4 stars from RT Book Reviews for A Perfect Catch.

“A PERFECT CATCH (4) by Anna Sugden: After pro hockey player Ike Jelinek gets injured on the ice, he hires Tracy Hayden’s company to help set things up for his recovery at home. Unfortunately, Tracy and Ike have a past neither one can seem to get over. While the two are still wildly attracted to one another, their disagreement over what their relationship should be is what keeps them apart. But when Ike asks Tracy to go a professional step beyond and help him find his perfect match, he soon realizes that Tracy is the only one for him. Sugden’s novel is fun, in spite of Ike sustaining an injury. The quirky, fun hockey players add lots of color to the story and the chemistry between Ike and Tracy is seriously hot.

Second, Harlequin France is bringing out the second New Jersey Ice Cats book, A Perfect Trade, in French! La proposition idéale will be out in February! Even more exciting news is that I will be in Paris on February 7th for a book signing that had been organised by the wonderful Les Romantiques.

CoverFRENCH-APerfectParty Third, later in the month I will putting up a free read for you to download – A Perfect Party! Many thanks to all of you who told me how much you enjoyed A Perfect Party – the New Jersey Ice Cats micro-story that appeared in the free anthology Tiny Treats: A Holiday Collection. I’ll also be putting together a give-away booklet of the story, so stay tuned. At the same time, I hope to have a French version available as well.

A Perfect Party – Out Now!

Can’t wait until February to get your next fix of the New Jersey Ice Cats? Want some bite-sized romances to read over the busy holiday period?

You’ll be pleased to know that there is a great, FREE (yes, free!) collection of 25 holiday-themed, romance micro-stories available now!

As well as an exclusive New Jersey Ice Cats story, A Perfect Party, written especially for this collection, there are also contemporary, historical and paranormal stories by 24 other fabulous award-winning and bestselling authors.

A Perfect Party features Ice Cats’ defenseman, Taylor ‘Mad Dog’ Madden and Lizzie Martin (Jenny’s sister from A Perfect Trade).

Just Good Friends?

Ice Cats defenseman, Taylor ‘Mad Dog’ Madden wants more than friendship from Lizzie Martin. Much more. So when a Christmas party provides the chance to kick their relationship up a gear, should he take it or will he lose her completely?

Recipe for Jenny’s Eton Mess

What’s better on a lovely summer’s evening than a decadent dessert that includes chocolate-covered strawberries and takes a couple of minutes to make?! In A Perfect Trade, Jenny makes her signature dessert — her special version of an English dessert called Eton Mess (which she picked up from reading her beloved, imported celebrity magazines!).

Several readers have asked if I’ll post the recipe for Jenny’s Eton Mess, so here it is!

NB: If you don’t have chocolate-covered strawberries, you can use fresh strawberries and add broken up pieces of chocolate or chocolate sauce to the mix.

1lb of fresh, chocolate-covered or chocolate-dipped strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters

1 pint of double cream

2 large or 4 small meringues, broken

1 tbsp grated chocolate.

To Make:

Get a large glass bowl or serving dish. Drop in the cut chocolate-covered strawberries and broken meringue and mix.

Pour over double cream and mix again.

Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top.

Serve and enjoy!
