The story of Jess and Gabriel is close to my heart, so I’m so excited that your readers loved getting to know them. Now, more than ever, books about love, overcoming differences, and finding our happily ever afters are important to write. Thank you for the honour of being an RNA finalist!

A Highlander to Protect Her by Jeanine Englert (Mills & Boon):

Being shortlisted for The Shorter Romantic Novel Award by the Romantic Novelists’ Association is a dream come true, and it has been on my author “wish list” for quite some time. I could not be more thrilled to have my latest Scottish Highland romance, A Highlander to Protect Her, as a contender for this prestigious award among so many talented authors and friends. Celebrating the romance genre and the incredibly talented authors and stories they tell is a gift, and I am so grateful to be a part of this supportive community. Being able to celebrate being shortlisted for this award this year is even more special, as my husband and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary just a few weeks after this event, and we honeymooned in London. Coming to London to celebrate this milestone in my writing career and such an important milestone in our marriage is incredible, especially since my husband is my biggest fan!
