Jamie Beck books in order

Jamie Beck is a former American attorney, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of chick-lit and contemporary romance novels.

Growing up, Beck harbored writing dreams of a Hollywood career in television or film. In fact, whenever she finished watching an engrossing family saga or romantic story, she always felt like she could write something just like that.

Although a career in creative writing seemed elusive, Beck ultimately went and earned a joint law/M.B.A. degree, before practicing commercial real estate and lending law for a decade in her hometown of Pittsburgh. In as much as the experience was invaluable, her passion for the work was nonexistent.

So when her husband’s career saw them relocate to Connecticut, Beck decided to become a stay-at-home mom; a decision that finally made her writing dreams possible.

Her books have so far sold more than three million copies, and earned her a National Readers' Choice Award.

Whenever she isn't writing, Beck can be found dancing in her kitchen while cooking, and hitting the slopes in Vermont and Utah.

In the Cards

Lindsey Hilliard flees her charmed life in New York, searching for answers after her fiancé’s betrayal fills her with self-doubt. Unfortunately, her rented Malibu home is next door to Levi Hardy, the sexy but insufferable man who humiliated her years ago.

Hardened by a grim past he keeps concealed, Levi prefers maintaining a comfortable distance from folks, especially a nosy princess like Lindsey. But then a motorcycle collision brings him to his knees, forcing him to accept her assistance with his recovery. Sparks begin to fly when the woman who doesn’t believe in herself teaches the cynic how to have faith in others. Levi realizes his body will recover, but his heart won’t if Lindsey returns to the ex who wants her back.

In the biggest gamble of his life, Levi teaches her to trust her own voice, and hopes she’ll use it to say good-bye to her past and hello to a future with him.

Take It from Me

Wendy Moore hides her collection of pilfered bric-a-brac from everyone, including her husband. He thinks she licked her kleptomania in therapy more than a decade ago. Therapy did help, as did focusing her attention on motherhood. But now Wendy’s gardening and furniture-refinishing hobbies fill up only so much of the day, leaving the recent empty nester lonely and anxious―a combination likely to trigger her little problem. She needs a project, fast. Luckily, Harper Ross―a single, childless younger woman in desperate need of highlights―just moved in next door.

The only thing Harper wants to change is the writer’s block toppling her confidence and career. Then a muse comes knocking. Sensing fodder for a new antagonist, Harper plays along with Wendy’s “helpful” advice while keeping her career a secret so Wendy keeps talking. Sure, she’s torn about profiting off her neighbor’s goodwill―especially when Wendy’s matchmaking actually pans out―but Harper’s novel is practically writing itself.

Just as a real friendship begins to cement, their deceptions come to light, threatening Wendy’s and Harper’s futures and forcing them to reconcile who they are with who they want to be. Easier said than done.

Folks in Sterling Canyon know that small towns have long memories. Two years after the DUI that injured a pedestrian, Andy Randall is still making amends. He hopes the Christmas spirit will help him get rehired as a ski instructor, but that job will come with conditions. He can’t afford another mistake, which is exactly what making a play for his former boss and friend, Nikki Steele, would be.

Nikki races down double black diamonds and hikes mountains better than most guys, unafraid of tumbling down the slopes. But trusting the guy who once shot her down could end in a fall that actually hurts, especially when she’d have to vouch for him with her boss. Still, the resort needs another instructor to handle the holiday tourists, and Andy’s sexy grin and relaxed charisma make him hard to resist.

With both of their reputations now on the line, can Andy convince Nikki that the second chance he wants isn’t only about the job?
