LINCOLN
A new town and a quiet, anonymous life are all I want. These hopes are ripped away after I rescue my neighbor from an attack.

​

Now, nothing else matters but keeping Willow safe. As long as another woman isn’t hurt on my watch, I’ll happily toss aside my privacy and even use my famous family’s connections in ways I swore I wouldn’t.

​

Only one problem—Willow doesn’t agree.

​

WILLOW
Years of hiding from the gang who killed my dad means just standing next to my world-famous neighbor puts me in danger. So when Lincoln insists on walking me to work each night, I should decline the secret thrill of his company, but I don’t.
Soon, our time alone in the dark has me craving impossible things—craving him. 

​

Until someone from my past finds me and promises retribution.

​

Now, I’ll do anything to make sure it isn’t Lincoln who pays the price for my mistake… even give him up. 

​

But what if it’s already too late to save either of us?

CHARMING & THE CHERRY BLOSSOM

Charming and the Cherry Blossom 3d hardback cover image

Today was a fairy tale…

I inherited a fortune from a dad I never knew,

And a thoroughly charming guy asked me out.

 

Unfortunately, my fairy tale could disappear in ninety days...

Because there’s an impossible task to complete,

And a greedy cousin plotting against me.

 

Plus, I’m not your typical fairy tale princess.

I have a secret that might send my charming running,

And threatens my future if the press finds out.

 

If today was a fairy tale…

Why does my happily ever after look so far out of reach?

 

A contemporary romance filled with all the magic, hope, and love of a fairy tale plus the slow-burn, old-soul vibe her fans adore. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Today Was a Fairytale,” this small-town romance is pure escapism.

 

Grab it today and see why Writer’s Digest chose it as Romance of the Year in their 2021 Self-Published E-book Awards.

AVAILABLE IN: eBook, paperback, and hardback

AFTER ALL THE WRECKAGE

After All the Wreckage romantic suspense book cover

What if the future is already written?

 

Gage

 

When Rory Marlowe Bishop walks out of my past and into my bar, I realize she’s not just a kid anymore. Now she’s hell on wheels and a special kind of temptation. But I can’t afford the distraction, not with the responsibility I’ve inherited. I’m raising my two young siblings who have inherited the unexplainable family “gift” of premonitions that always seem to come true.

 

It’s safer to keep my distance from the enigmatic private investigator. Rory doesn’t need to be tangled up in my family drama. At least that’s what I tell myself until my brother goes missing…

 

Rory

 

Gage Palmer was the hero of my childhood, entering my life when I needed him most. A decade later and I’m instantly reminded of the teenage crush I never quite got over. But neither one of us can act on our growing feelings once he hires me to find his brother. I won’t stop until I help him uncover the truth. Not when I have the chance to reunite a family instead of breaking one.

 

Even if it means revealing secrets that could destroy us.

 

Even if it means our future is already written in the wreckage.

​

Inspired by Nate Smith's Wreckage, this small-town, single-dad, angsty romantic suspense might just grab hold and not let go.
