SWEET MEMORY
An opposing-worlds, second-chance romantic suspense
​
“You’re not just enough. You’re everything!” – Jonas
​
My sister calls him trouble. All she sees is a novice producer with a dark past. But Jonas is the only man who’s defended me. The only one who’s seen the real Paisley underneath the sweet rock star the world put on an innocent pedestal. Returning to Grand Orchard to record our next album means we’ll finally be together.
​
And now that I have my broody protector to myself, I won’t give him up.
​
Not for my sister. Not for the band.
​
Not even when a stalker demands I do so in ugly red paint.
​
Until the worst happens.
​
When I lose my sister, and Jonas might be the reason, I cut ties and run.
​
It takes me two years to find the strength to pull the band back together and to finish what my sister started.
​
When we arrive at the studio, completing the record may be the band’s goal, but mine is a secret.
​
I’m here to make the person who took Landry pay.
​
What I’m not prepared for is Jonas stepping in to shield me once again.
​
Or for the love I’d buried to reemerge from the ashes.
​
Is there a way to recover what we lost?
​
And will it be enough to keep us safe when the danger resurfaces?

​
The worst day of my life was when I lost my best friend—the leader of our band. In that dark moment, a phone conversation I overhear with our coldhearted label owner leads me to believe Asher was responsible for Landry’s death.
For two years, I wait to prove the arrogant man was behind it, clashing with him at every turn.
But when a snowstorm leaves me stranded at his house, I finally have the chance to unearth his deepest secrets.
I just wasn’t expecting them to be a sweet daughter and a host of employees who adore him.
As the ice outside thickens and the heat inside ignites, I’m unprepared for the tender feelings that come from seeing beyond Asher’s stoic mask to the scarred man beneath it.
I’m even more unprepared for the love he extends and the acceptance his family offers.
When a shadow sneaks inside the walls, threatening to leave a mark on his family, it's Asher’s fierce determination to protect me that finally unravels my heart.
But will it be in time to keep from losing the most important people in my life once again?

CHERRY BRANDY
A bodyguard, rockstar romantic suspense.
​
“Being on the run with only one bed is no excuse to touch her…until touching is the only choice.” - Holden
​
For two years I’ve had a broody, silent bodyguard watching over me. But Special Agent Holden Kent has made it abundantly clear that I’m just a means to an end.
Dealing with me, my rock-star lifestyle, and my band’s stalker are just inconveniences he must bear on his path to his dream job on the Presidential detail.
He has no clue he’s a burden to me as well. Because the way my body lights up near him has me questioning all my beliefs about sex, love, and marriage.
When a hate group targeting my father shifts its sights to me, I’m terrified to find I may be the reason my friend and bandmate was murdered.
Forced into hiding with only Holden to protect me, it’s more than cold hate we’re forced to face.
Passion lives underneath his stoic exterior.
Yearning lives beneath my free-spirited ways.
And suddenly, it isn’t just bodies on the line but hearts and souls as well.

The only way I keep my head above water is by losing myself in my drums.
When Ronan returns two years later to finish his documentary on my band, the memory of his humiliation burns all over. I do everything I can to remind him—and my body—why I hate him with every fiber of my being.
Until his film captures an image of my sister, and it becomes apparent her kidnapping might have everything to do with my friend’s murder. Now, the only way to catch the killer is with Ronan’s help.
But not even the way he protects me from danger will soften my guard.
He can’t sneak past my defenses by calling me Star or looking at me with admiration in his eyes.
I refuse to let him back into my bed… or worse, my heart.

SWAN RIVER
The Painted Daisies prequel
​
The Painted Daisies is an all-female rock band whose star is on the rise. The six band members are more than just friends—they’re a beloved family. Their life seems picture perfect until the band arrives at the studio in Upstate New York and darkness finds them.
As the youngest member, Paisley Kim is determined to step out from the shadow of their lead singer, Landry. The shifting dynamic challenges the balance of the band. This tension is exacerbated by Paisley’s relationship with a wild-card producer and a stalker who begins leaving the band messages.
Paisley is sure the notes are directed at her, but all the band members have carefully guarded secrets that might be luring the stalker to them.
When the worst happens and Landry is murdered, each of the women shoulders the guilt of knowing they could be the reason she’s dead. But which one was he really after? And who might be next?
Swan River is a PREQUEL to The Painted Daisies series, overlapping in timeline with Book One. It gives you the inside scoop into the lives of the band members on the day of the murder, including Landry herself. The prequel ends on a cliffhanger.
But you don’t have to wait for answers as the series is NOW COMPLETE. Each novel follows one of the band members as their secrets are revealed, they find love, and they come one step closer to finding Landry’s killer. Each book can be read standalone, but the series is best read in order.
