cover reveal | more than a billionaire

So excited to share the cover of my next book with you. More Than a Billionaire is coming on November 30th and is now available for PREORDER HERE or by clicking the image above.

WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Skylar Schultz has spent half her life loving Franky Middlebury, the only guy who’s ever seen her as more than heiress to the Schultz Chocolate fortune, but she’s always been firmly positioned in the friend zone. As much as she cherishes their friendship, she wishes he would see her as so much more than his best friend’s little sister.

Things aren’t going well for Franky. His girlfriend left him, he’s unhappy as a partner in his father’s law firm, and he feels stuck in a life he didn’t really want. The one bright spot is Skylar. She’s there for him in a way nobody else is, filling his stressful days with laughter and offering unending encouragement.

As their friendship progresses, they begin to rely on each other as they are faced with family drama and career changes. All the while, Skylar hopes their newfound closeness will blossom into more. But when someone new walks into Franky’s life, will everything change? Will this woman be the fresh start Franky’s been longing for or will he finally see the one who’s been there for him the whole time?

Who Needs a Billionaire is HERE!

I just realized that I never shared here on the blog when WHO NEEDS A BILLIONAIRE went LIVE! So I’m fixing that today. This book was one of the most fun to write, and Gus and Merritt’s story has become one of my favorites that I’ve ever written. Over the past few weeks since this book released, I’ve gotten the sweetest reviews over on Amazon from people who adored their story as I did, and that just makes it all worthwhile.

Are you a sucker for SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE?
Check out my three second chance romance novels:

Another June with You
(Book 1 in the McGregor family series)
Photographing this wedding is about to get complicated when her first love shows up as the best man.

Bittersweet (standalone)
He’s back after four years without a word. She’s moved on … or has she? Is it too late for a second chance at love?

Until Then
(Book 2 in the Cornerstone series)
This one can be read alone, but reading the first book will add a lot to the experience.

Happy reading, friends!

same great story. all new cover.

BITTERSWEET, my sweet second chance romance, book one of a multi-author series I was part of a couple years ago, got a little facelift this week. There was nothing wrong with the previous cover, really, but when I saw this image recently, I immediately thought of Bittersweet. Ever since I saw it, I’ve been itching to update the cover. The original cover was very close up and in the couple’s faces. This one felt so fresh and clean and adorable.

I see books get new covers all the time, and I’ve never changed any of mine. Until now. 🙂

The story itself is exactly the same. Nothing has changed there. If you’ve read it, thank you. I hope you enjoyed it. But if you haven’t, click the image above or THIS LINK to check it out on Amazon or free in Kindle Unlimited.

book birthdays

Facebook has me all nostalgic this month, reminding me of things that happened on these days years ago. And it just so happens that when I first started publishing my books, they all had May release dates. So, it’s been a lot of fun to see some of those old graphics pop up in my FB memories this month, making me think of where this whole writing journey began and how far I’ve come. And I’m so thankful for every step that got me to where I am today.

I still don’t feel like I’ve “arrived” or anything. I’m not the most well-known author in the world, and I don’t have the hugest number of followers or anything, but I am very grateful for all of you who follow along with me. I’ve said that several times recently, and I mean it. Wholeheartedly.

If you’re new around here and want to check out my earliest books, here’s where you can find them:
THE TRUTH ABOUT DREWreleased May 2014 (young adult Christian fiction)
GOODBYE, MAGNOLIAreleased May 2015 (Christian contemporary romance)
UNTIL THENreleased May 2016 (Christian contemporary romance)

Happy reading!

5 year anniversary!

Today marks FIVE YEARS since my first sweet contemporary Christian romance, Goodbye, Magnolia was released into the world. It seems so much has happened and changed along this writing journey. I’ve learned so much and continue to love what I do, especially the thrill of new story ideas and the excitement every time I start to write a new book.

Goodbye, Magnolia available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited

It’s always good to look back at accomplishments and celebrate, and today I’m celebrating with a mint mocha latte and some Dove mint chocolates. 😉

Thanks to all of you who have read Goodbye, Magnolia and the whole Cornerstone series. So many story ideas, so many more books to come.

Cover Reveal | Who Needs a Billionaire

I’m so excited to share with you the cover of my upcoming novel, Who Needs a Billionaire, the second book in my A Billionaire for Every Season series, coming MAY 12TH! 🙂 If you’ve read Not the Billionaire, this is Sebastian’s brother Gus’s story.

A fake marriage is the answer to their problems, but love was never part of the deal.

Augustus “Gus” Schultz has always been the black sheep of the family, and he’s earned that label with his playboy ways. His greatest desire is to prove to his father that he’s put all that behind him and is worthy of taking on a bigger role at Schultz Chocolate. But when he’s asked to step away from the company for appearances’ sake, he must devise a plan to convince everyone he’s changed.

Merritt Christiansen loves helping women feel pretty and confident, and her dream of taking her safe, organic cosmetics line global is about to come true. Until she doesn’t secure the capital she was hoping for and is forced to consider a crazy alternative.

Gus thinks his proposal is ingenious. A fake marriage contract with Merritt, who is brilliant and respectable—not to mention beautiful—will demonstrate his ability to commit and fit in with the company’s wholesome image. Merritt thinks he’s lost his mind, especially since they can’t stand each other. But how can she refuse when he offers to fund her business expansion as part of the terms of their marriage? And if pretend crosses the line to real, how will they come away with hearts unscathed?

PREORDER NOW. COMING MAY 12th!

NEW RELEASE | Upon an April Night

This book! It’s been over a year since Another June with You came out, and I have never had so many people write and ask me when the next book in the series will be coming. So many of you were anxiously awaiting Duncan and Jamie’s story and it’s FINALLY HERE! And I cannot even begin to tell you how happy it makes me to receive your comments and messages letting me know that you waited until midnight for the book to show up on your Kindle or got up early on release day and spent the day reading this book. And hearing it was worth the wait … that is everything to me. 🙂

WHAT’S THE BOOK ABOUT?

Love isn’t always picture perfect.

Jamie Linde is on the verge of great things. Her photography business is booming, and everything’s going according to plan, until two little lines on a pregnancy test turn everything upside down. For years, she’s loved her best friend’s brother from afar, but after their one and only night together, he left town on a business trip and hasn’t spoken to her since.

Duncan McGregor thought he had set his old ways aside. He’s been living a good Christian life, waiting on God to bring the right girl for him—except for one night of weakness with his sister’s best friend. His work in Denver couldn’t have come at a more perfect time to distance himself from temptation and get right with God.

When Duncan returns from Denver with a girl on his arm, Jamie is devastated and confused. What she wants more than anything is to be a family, but it seems that dream isn’t going to come true. If she tells him about the baby, she’ll ruin his newfound happiness. If she decides not to keep it, she’ll let everyone down, including her best friend.

Will she make the choice on her own or discover that God’s got a better plan?

shiny and new

So happy to finally have a dedicated space to write about books and writing. I’ve had all these posts intermingled with my old personal/family blog for years and have been wanting to separate them. So I’ve been working on this a little bit here and there over the past month, and this weekend, I was determined to finish. Last night, I finally got everything in place and now when you type bykrista.com, this is where it will take you.

The posts go all the way back to my first NaNoWriMo in 2008. It was fun to look back through all the posts and follow my writing journey from the start. Thanks for stopping by!

Now, back to writing the next book in my McGregor Family series.
