This week our Spotlight on Author: Dani Collins. She has a new book out, The Greek's Wife Returns.
Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling author Dani Collins thrives on giving readers emotional, compelling, heart-soaring romance with some laughter and heat thrown in, just like real life. Mostly she writes contemporary romance for Harlequin Presents and Tule’s Montana Born, but her backlist of ninety books also includes self-published erotic romance, romantic comedy, and even an epic medieval fantasy. When she’s not writing—just kidding, she’s always writing. Look for Dani’s latest Presents, Maid to Marry, out now!

- What are your favorite literary journals?
I don’t have any, but I do have an obsession with notebooks! It boarders on hoarding, but I like different styles for different things. I currently have on my desk:
4 basic spiral notebooks for story notes on different projects
1 5-year diary that I often forget and have to go back 3-4 days to write in
2 very pretty journals, one for guided journaling, the other for gratitude
2 daytimer calendars (2025 & 2026) because I prefer pencil instead of digital
1 that I started for making notes on travel aspirations (see below for more on that!)
- What is your favorite childhood book?
Ann of Green Gables, so much so, we are planning a trip to PEI this fall with our daughter and her husband. We can’t wait!
- What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?
For me? Staying fresh. The Greek’s Wife Returns is #64 for Harlequin and I’m inching toward 100 books overall. That’s why I love switching things up and writing small town or something like my upcoming Afternoon Delight with an older heroine, written in 1st person. It lets me exercise different muscles so I come back to the Harlequins feeling recharged.
- Tell us about this book...
I *love* this book. When I wrote Maid to Marry, the hero had a pill of a sister. She had her reasons and she also had a drinking problem, but she was so snarky and so close to redeeming herself, I really wanted to write about her.
Carmel is sober now and wants to make a fresh start on life. The one piece of her past that needs closure is her secret marriage to Damian. So she takes divorce papers to him in Athens and you know what? He is *not* happy to see her and he swears he is *not* signing those papers. Not unless she pretends they’re reconciling for his grandmother’s sake.
I love the dynamic between these two and hope you fall for them just as hard…
Happy reading!
Their reunion was for show…
Will he reclaim her for real?
Heiress Carmel Davenport hasn’t seen Damian Kalymnios since their whirlwind marriage imploded as explosively as it began. Now the reformed wild child needs a fresh start. Which means facing her Greek husband to demand the divorce he refused her years earlier…
Damian will grant Carmel’s request…if they can call a temporary truce for his ailing grandmother’s sake. Only the ruse forces him to admit there’s more to his ever-tempting wife than she’s allowed him to see… Leaving Damian questioning whether to sign the papers—or set them on fire!
It seems like an interesting book, even more so for me, who is Greek!!
