I'm a multi-published author who specializes in contemporary romances.    I've always had a passion for writing very sensual stories that incorporate some suspense and/or humor. My books have been translated into more than a dozen foreign languages, into electronic format, and have been re-issued in trade paperback as well as large print library editions. Most recently, I'm also working on audio books.

     My own personal hero is a former Marine who helped me create three beautiful, intelligent children. Our family lives in rural Ohio. In my free time, I enjoy bird watching, gardening and reading. I also love being in or near large bodies of water and spending time with my family:-)

They've worked together for years in perfect harmony, but now he wants to change their relationship from professional to intimate. She realizes no matter how much she wants to keep things strictly business, the chemistry between them is too strong to ignore. But can she trust him enough to reveal the secret she's kept all these years?

"Cade’s Challenge" is the epitome of the steamy romance novel. The chemistry between Cade and Sallie was combustible and their love scenes so hot, I swear I saw steam rise from the pages. The mystery is interesting and unpredictable, but the real story is the romance, and I enjoyed watching it unfold. It’s an intriguing, romantic, and ultra sexy story, and I highly recommend it." ~ Debbie, Once Upon a Time Reviews.

"Cade's Challenge" is an incredible read... The sexual tension is so fiery my monitor was smoking... With so many twists and turns, I was kept guessing the identity of the stalker until the ending. Becky Barker did a marvelous job with this story. Of course, I don’t believe I have ever read a bad story by this wonderful author." ~ Shayla, Romance Junkies Reviews.ISBN: 1-59998-740-6 Read an Excerpt Buy a print or electronic copy
