SINGLE MUM + GRUMPY/SUNSHINE + HE FALLS FIRST + SMALL TOWN + MOTORCYCLE CLUB ROMANCE

Daisy

The day I ran, I left behind everything except my daughter.
I knew I couldn’t beat the men who wanted to take Elsie from me. Men with money, power, and enough lawyers to make sure she’d grow up visiting the father she never deserved. So I disappeared instead.
We’ve spent years looking over our shoulders. Never staying anywhere long enough to belong. Never trusting anyone enough to call them home.
Then one wrong phone call changes everything.
Vandal is a wall of tattoos, silence, and scars that tell stories he never will. The kind of man every sensible woman should fear.
Instead, I find myself wondering if the safest place I’ve ever been is in the arms of the most dangerous man I’ve ever met.

Vandal

The men who took me thought they could break me, and maybe they did.
Physically, I get better every day. But my head is still so messed up, I can’t tell the difference between a memory and a nightmare. The club says I survived. Most days, it doesn’t feel like it.
Then a little girl calls my phone by mistake.
One wrong number puts Daisy and Elsie right in the middle of my wrecked life. Daisy with her gentle touch and guarded eyes. And Elsie clutching her teddy bear, looking at me like I’m someone safe.
I’m not.
I’m an Iron Outlaw. Damaged. Barely holding myself together.
But Daisy’s running from dangerous men. And I start wanting things I stopped believing I deserved; a home, a family, and her.
So, when Daisy’s past finally catches up to her, they’re going to learn exactly how dangerous a broken man can be when you threaten the only people keeping him alive.

This is a standalone novel in the all-new Iron Outlaws MC Florida series, a spin-off from the Iron Outlaws MC and Iron Outlaws MC Colorado series.

AGE GAP + SECOND CHANCES + DARK ROMANCE

I have nothing left.

One moment of weakness seven years ago, and I lost my job, my art, and my only friend. Now I’m working nights at a gas station to scrape together a living and a way to care for my sister, and I’m completely alone.

And then I see him on the front page of the newspaper, my former college student and the man who ruined my life seven years ago.

Ryan Bell.

So I carve a statue of the devil and I give the devil Bell’s face. I leave it for the world to see.

I shouldn’t have done it. I should have known he’d use the statue to hunt me, find me, offer a deal that demands my soul. He wants one year of me—all of me—and then he’ll make my problems go away.

How can I refuse? When it’s my only chance of salvation? How can I refuse even when I know Ryan Bell will leave me with a broken heart—again?

But it’s my own fault…I should have stayed hidden, I shouldn’t have revealed how the memory of him haunts me still. I was the one who spoke of the devil, after all.

I can’t be surprised that he appeared.

This is the fourth full-length standalone novel in the Priest series, featuring Father Bell’s youngest brother, Ryan Bell.

SECOND CHANCES + SMALL TOWN

A small town wedding brings firefighter Noah and architect Rachel together for the first time since their tragic break up, forcing them to learn to work together to save their town…

At age eighteen, Rachel Johnson left Service, West Virginia with a college acceptance letter, a broken heart, and a blueprint for a new life. Now the star architect is back, for two weeks, and not a second more, for her dad’s wedding—and zero intention of rekindling old flames. But when she’s roped into the town’s redevelopment committee to bring much needed resources for the community, she finds herself face-to-face with the committee chair … her ex, Noah Calvary.

Firefighter Noah volunteered for this assignment to further his career, not to work with Rachel. A born competitor, Noah isn’t thrilled to share the spotlight with the woman who once left him in the dust, but to help the town, he figures he can play nice. And his success could clinch the promotion he’s been angling for.

Rachel’s got vision and a partnership at her firm on the line. Noah’s got a promotion to protect. And every decision is a battle of wills. Their history is messy, but their chemistry is explosive. Between small-town politics, big-time rivalries, and sizzling glances, Noah and Rachel must decide if they’re laying the foundation for professional disaster or finally building something real.

This is a standalone novel in The Calvary Brothers series.

DEMON/ORACLE + PARANORMAL ROMANCE

An oracle who can see the future teams up with the far-too-hot demon from her past to avert catastrophe…

Gwen Wexloff might be able to see the future, but not when it matters. Her visions invariably involve piddling issues, which means—unlike most oracles—she’s spent her life predicting for everyday humans instead of international power brokers. After a clutch of brain-slurping zombies escapes from their walled-off compound, though, Gwen experiences the first genuinely world-altering vision of her life . . . and now she needs help.

Unfortunately, that help comes from Hugh Blacke, the same starchy (but annoyingly cute) demon who watched her bomb her oracle verification test years ago. To Gwen’s dismay, the two of them will need to work together to unravel the deadly conspiracy behind the zombie breach, despite their complicated past and the secrets they’re keeping.

Even with her newfound power, she couldn’t have foreseen how quickly they’d both want more than a simple partnership. But the clock is ticking—and with the fate of humanity at stake, Gwen and Hugh will have to decide how much they’re willing to risk for an unexpected, passionate love…and a future together that might prove very short indeed.

This is a standalone novel.

He’s the league’s most dangerous defenseman. She’s the specialist sent to determine whether he’s too broken to save. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the truth hits back.

Locke Donovan has a reputation carved in blood and penalty minutes. The league’s most dangerous defenseman, he’s an angry, unapproachable loner who fights harder and refuses to let anyone in. The Portland Wildfire only took him because no one else would, and Locke seems determined to prove every rumor true. He doesn’t do teammates. He doesn’t do relationships.

Dr. Livia Cross is quiet, brilliant and controlled. Officially, she’s the Wildfire’s new high-performance consultant. Unofficially, she’s been embedded by the league to evaluate one player.

One risk.
Locke.

Her job is simple: observe him, test him, and determine whether he’s safe to stay on the ice, or too volatile to keep playing.

And when sparks ignite where there should only be professionalism, Livia’s carefully built boundaries start to crack.

Locke doesn’t trust easily yet he lets Livia closer than he ever intended, long before he learns she isn’t who he thinks she is. And when the truth comes out, it won’t just shatter their fragile connection… it might end his career.

ENEMIES TO LOVERS + FATED MATES + SMALL TOWN + PARANORMAL ROMANCE

She doesn’t believe in magic. He is magic. But when they meet, a spark is lit, and neither will ever be the same…

Frankie

A trained therapist, Francesca Giovanni knows there’s a scientific explanation for everything. Unfortunately, she lives in West Harbor, CT, a town that’s recently exploded in popularity thanks to “witch tourism.” Suddenly, witches are everywhere, offering locals their psychic services. Frankie’s fine with this…until aspiring teenage witches begin to disappear, and strange things start happening in the lake house next door. Frankie suspects not all newcomers to West Harbor have the good of the community in mind—especially not her new neighbor, Ash Merit.

Ash

Ash Merit finds lost things—and people—for a living. All he wants is to help his clients, and maybe get to know the stunningly beautiful (and newly single) Dr. Frankie Giovanni a little better. But thanks to some troublesome young witches—not to mention his often faulty psychic “superpower”—everything goes wrong. If only Frankie wasn’t so distractingly attractive…and so unwilling to admit there might not be a logical reason for everything, including the flames that ignite whenever the two of them kiss. Ash hopes to change that, but first he and Frankie have to find the missing girls, as well as the truth about what’s happening in West Harbor…a truth that could change everything they thought they knew about themselves—and the magic of love.

This is a standalone novel in the Witches of West Harbor series.

ENEMIES TO LOVERS + OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Two enemies-to-lovers, one unforgettable summer escape…

Jia Chung is living the dream…until she gets fired from her job, yet again. With her mom breathing down her neck to move home, she needs an escape, fast. When Mimi, her beloved grandmother, invites her to spend the summer in Palm Springs, Jia jumps at the chance. Staying at Sunset Hills Senior Living Community is exactly where a free spirit like Jia can thrive—among people living their best, sun-soaked, fun-filled lives. So what if they’re all octogenarians?

Henry Shin lives by the rules. It’s what overworked corporate lawyers do. They don’t fly off to Palm Springs to help their grandfathers move into a new home. But Dennis is Henry’s only family. How else can Henry make sure he’s settled and safe? The boisterous Zumba classes, daily happy hours, and spicy book clubs were a surprise though. And at the center, leading the charge, is a bright, vivacious stunner named Jia Chung. The same face he’d had a one-night stand with a few months back. And the same woman Henry was forced to terminate at his company the morning after.

As carefree days turn into hot, steamy nights, the chemistry between Henry and Jia ignites. But when the real world beckons, should what happens at the Sunset stay at the Sunset?

This is a standalone novel.
