The shelves are dusted. The filing cabinets are organized. And tomorrow, a brand-new door opens in the Billionaire World.

For weeks, we’ve looked back at where it all started—from Dominic Corisi’s "too alpha" beginnings in 2010 to the secret experiments that brought the "Separated at Birth" twins back together. We’ve talked about the cameos, the crossovers, and the healing power of a true happy ending.

But tomorrow isn't about the past. Tomorrow is about Firebrook Valley.

Why Firebrook Valley?

When I sat down to write this new series, I knew it had to be part of the world you’ve grown to love. I wanted to introduce you to new families with their own secrets, their own struggles, and their own path to love—but I also wanted it to feel like coming home.

If you’ve been following the Corisis, the Barringtons, and the Westerlys, you know that no one truly disappears. Firebrook Valley is full of the same heart, humor, and "potato chip" addictiveness that keeps us all coming back for more.

A Note to My Readers

Writing these stories has always been my way of finding comfort in a crazy world. Knowing that you find that same comfort in these pages is the greatest reward I could ask for.

Whether you are meeting a billionaire hero for the first time or waiting for Judy Corisi to finally drop her "dating bombshell" on her father, I am so grateful you’re on this journey with me.

Set your alarms. Charge your Kindles. Tomorrow, we go to Firebrook.

Sometimes, the best stories start in the most unexpected places. For me, this series began 30,000 feet in the air on a transatlantic flight.

While the rest of the cabin slept, I was tucked into my seat with my headphones on, watching a documentary about twins who had been separated at birth only to find each other decades later. At first, it felt like a "feel-good" story. But as the minutes ticked by, the true nature of the social experiment behind their separation unfolded. By the time that plane touched the ground, I wasn't just awake—I was horrified.

I knew right then that I needed to write a happy ending for these men. Not just for my readers, but for my own sanity.

Turning Tragedy into "The Switch"

That flight was the birth of The Switch Series (Strictly Business and Out of Love). I wanted to take that premise and infuse it with the joy and heart I felt was missing from the real-world story. I created a businessman and a farmer—identical twins who swap lives to save one another’s businesses. Writing their journey healed my heart a little, but the world I was building wasn't finished.

As the first set of twins found their happily-ever-afters, I started wondering about the others still out there in the dark. That curiosity led to the Twin Find Series and the Twin Dare Series, where more brothers stepped out of the shadows and into the lives of amazing women who brought out the best in them.

A Mission to Heal

Finally, I reached the man I considered the most tragic victim of the "experiment." Giving him a happy ending in Out of Secrets felt like the final piece of a puzzle.

While this series is a mystery that lightly reflects the details of that real-life documentary, it is primarily a story of reclamation. As a writer, I don’t just write to entertain; I often write to heal something within myself. This series allowed me to take a situation that made me incredibly sad and rewrite the narrative into the way I wish it had worked out for everyone involved.

The Greatest Gift

Reading has always been my sanctuary when the world feels a little too crazy. I regularly receive messages from you all telling me that my books bring you comfort during difficult times.

Knowing that a story I wrote to comfort myself ended up bringing that same peace to someone else is the most wonderful gift a reader could ever give me.

If you look at my new "Billionaire World" reading map, you’ll see a sprawling empire of families, scandals, and happily-ever-afters. But to truly understand how this world came to be, we have to go back—all the way back to 2010.

The Hero They Said Was "Too Much"

Once upon a time, before the billionaire romance explosion and before Fifty Shades of Grey changed the landscape, I wrote a hero named Dominic Corisi. At the time, publishers told me he was too alpha, too angry, and too intense.

I didn't listen.

My daughter’s favorite quote from that era perfectly sums up the Corisi energy: "Can you really kidnap someone who wanted to go with you?" In 2011, I self-published Maid for the Billionaire. I put it up for free, and by the time I was ready to release book two, over one million people had downloaded it. Dominic hadn't just jumpstarted my career; he had claimed a permanent residence in the hearts of readers.

Seeing the World Through Many Eyes

What fascinated me most about the original Legacy Collection wasn't just Dominic’s own story, but how he looked through the eyes of everyone else.

• In book one, you see his power.

• In book two, you see him through the eyes of his adversary.

• By books three and four, you’re seeing him through a sister-in-law's romance and another woman enjoying her own "kidnapping" fantasy.

One of my favorite perspectives was Alethea’s. She was a woman obsessed with the truth who trusted no one —except Dominic. Their bond showed that even a morally gray billionaire values loyalty and friendship above all else.

A World That Refused to Stay Small

Most authors might have closed the book there. But my characters had other plans. The Corisis spilled into the world of the Barringtons. Then the Westerlys. I was eventually given the chance to expand Dominic’s family even further, discovering "lost" relatives and giving a broken hero the foundation he always craved.

I’ve watched Dominic grow, stumble, and nearly make irreversible mistakes, only to pull back at the last second from becoming someone unforgivable. He is so dynamic that he even demanded a cameo in my World War II "super soldier" series (yes, the one with the silverware!). It was perfect.

The Next Chapter: Firebrook Valley

This year, as I sat down to start a brand-new series, I knew exactly where it belonged: right back in the Billionaire World.

As you dive into Firebrook Valley and meet the new families I’m introducing, keep your eyes peeled. There will be cameos. There will be crossovers. And if the stars align exactly the way I want them to, this journey will culminate in the moment we’ve all been waiting for: Judy Corisi finally revealing to her father exactly who she’s been dating.

Welcome back to the world that Dominic built. It's good to be home.
