Amy/AC settled in Huron County, Ontario with her patient husband, three kids and a neurotic cockapoo.

Amy writes quirky, contemporary romance both for Harlequin and her own Indie titles, while her alter ego AC writes about things that go bump in the night. Fair warning, they’re also quirky too.

Her dream job as a kid was to be busting ghosts or writing. Writing was the more realistic choice.

She was born and raised in Toronto, but her family was spread all over Canada’s north, so she feels just at home in the boreal forest where she can see the lights dance, but really loves her life on Ontario’s west coast near Canada’s prettiest town.

The latest Harlequin Medical Romance by Amy Ruttan, a second chance, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, forced proximity story!

Another shot…with the one who got away?

Dr. Emile Moreau can’t afford a second of frivolity, not with a lifetime of expectation on his shoulders. Only fun-loving fellow resident Chloé MacDonald ever tempted him to look away from his responsibilities—so naturally their break-up was a necessary sacrifice. Years later, Chloé’s become a top-class surgeon and calling her in on a tricky case is a no-brainer, professionally speaking. But Emile’s brooding heart isn’t so sure…because being around Chloé is as alluring as ever!

From Harlequin Medical: Life and love in the world of modern medicine. 

Cursed by a sea witch and matched on an app with one of her descendants?

A thousand years ago, ghoul Magnus was cursed by a landlocked sea witch who blamed him and his twin brother for all her problems. A classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He’s gotten over his anger about his predicament.

Sort of.

Since the Great Revelation, he and his twin ghoul brother are completely focused on turning the former funeral home they bought into a Dead and Breakfast. At least that’s something to count on, because ending the curse seems a bit impossible. Only true love can break it, but Magnus doesn’t have much hope after ten centuries.

Until a connection on a monster dating app gives him an inkling of hope. That is, until he meets her and sees the face of the witch who cursed him and his brother. He thinks it’s some sort of centuries-old revenge plot, that she’s confused and annoyed. Turns out, his ‘match’ is the sea witch’s descendent. Fate has a wicked sense of humor.

Mercedes is an outcast in her family because, as witches go, she’s a disaster. One too many explosions made her the embarrassment of the family. Her only redeeming power: she can see and talk to ghosts. But she keeps that secret to herself so her nasty family doesn’t exploit it. Mercedes has always had a soft spot for things that go bump in the night.

On the advice of her bestie, she moves to Harmony Glen seeking a peaceful life. She’s hired at the brand-new Dead and Breakfast run by the sexy, albeit annoying Magnus and his twin.

After a bad first date and the fact that he’s one of her bosses, he’s off-limits. Only she can’t forget about the connection on the app. Also, the pesky ghosts of the Dead and Breakfast don’t make it easy for her to keep her distance from him.

Maybe she could break the curse her ancestor cast? Maybe she could right this wrong by falling in love with the ghoul? Except Mercedes doesn’t much believe in fairytales, even surrounded by monsters in the coziest, happiest town ever.

Warning: this book contains a lot of meddling ghosts, a few minor explosions, curses, a jealous restless soul, and a found family.

Though they once lived in secret, ‘monsters’ have inhabited the earth as long as humans have walked the earth. As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the ability to remain hidden dwindled. Earth’s non-human creatures faced a choice: allow themselves to be discovered, or step forward and introduce themselves. Either option could have ended badly for monsters and humans alike—and in some places, it did.

But not in Harmony Glen.

After The Great Revelation, Harmony Glen welcomed monsters with open arms. This small town in Upstate New York is now home to humans and non-humans! Integration has been so successful in Harmony Glen, the town even changed its motto to ‘Come for the harmony, stay for the happily ever after.’

Welcome to Harmony Glen. We know you’re going to love it here.
