I thought I’d be single forever, but my new hot single dad neighbor had other plans.

Zoey Gallo
I didn’t want to date anymore. After a string of disappointments, I swore off relationships forever. But when a handsome single dad moves next door, I find my resolve slipping, no matter how hard I tell myself to stay strong.

Hunter Evans
I’m completely out of my element. New town. New job. A fresh start. I was there for one reason and one reason only—to be closer to my little girl. But after spending time with my new beautiful neighbor, I wonder if I’m missing out on something more in life.

But when someone from Zoey’s past tries to tear us apart, do we have what it takes to get our happily ever after?

Resort owner Mano Iokepa can surf any wave the wild Pacific sends his way. Staying afloat in his personal life is a bigger challenge. For five years he’s tried to fill the gaping void of his ex-wife’s absence. Now the only woman he ever loved is back, and she has a secret that shocks him to his core. He’s the father of twins! Getting to know his children and reconnecting with Emilia make him long to be the husband and father they need. Can he prove he deserves a second chance to make them his top priority?

A snarky holiday rom com seems in order as Christmas nears, don’tcha think? 😂🎄

Nothing says I love you like trespassing, public humiliation, and a town-wide Christmas spectacle to win your crush back.

Atlas “Max” Maxheimer did not sign up for this. One minute, he’s anxiously trying to keep his family’s Christmas tree farm from imploding. The next? He’s passed out in the snow after getting clocked by a suspiciously strong bottle of soda.

Enter Betty: new in town, full of holiday cheer, and helping her uncle open a rival tree farm next door. Max is convinced she’s out to destroy everything Evergreen Farm stands for. Betty thinks Max might be one sleigh short of a winter parade.

Cue the holiday chaos.

Between blizzards, blown reputations, wildly misguided romantic plots, and one stolen ornament with a seriously tragic backstory, this small-town war turns into something far messier―and much more delicious―than either of them expected.

Where has December gone??? I swear I’ve had my nos

Where has December gone??? I swear I’ve had my nose to the grindstone but it feels like time got away from me. Anyone else?? Who’s ready for Christmas?

I’ve been doing some reading but not accomplishing as much as I normally do. 😁

(Re-release of The Rock God Series)

Deliah Norman was never meant to be mine.

Soft, sweet, untouchable, Daddy’s little girl. Dee is everything pure, wrapped in designer labels and a life of privilege. The kind of girl who’s been protected from men like me—tattooed, broken, and living on the edge.

I should stay away.
She should know better.
But from the moment she stumbles into my world, neither of us stand a chance.

She’s the light to my darkness.
Too delicate for the madness that surrounds me.
Too naive to see the wreckage that comes with the chaos of fame.

The odds are stacked against us—her simple life clashing with my hard edges and demons. But fate doesn’t give a damn about logic. The moment she falls into my arms, it’s already too late.

Until the night everything shatters.
Until the night my worst fears become reality.

And now, I might lose her before I ever really had the chance to make her mine.

💗💗💗

Deliah Norman was my salvation—and my downfall.

I asked her to marry me. I finally told her I loved her. Everything was blissfully perfect until my crazed fans turned our world upside down in an instant.

One moment, she’s in my arms.
Next, she’s gone.
No warnings. No goodbyes. Just the sound of my world collapsing in on itself.

Her accident shatters everything.
The spotlight fades. The music turns hollow. And I’m left chasing ghosts in a life that no longer makes sense.

I love diving into a new adventure with Laurel Sno

Releases December 16!

Laurel’s family was never simple—but her half-sister, Abigail, a brilliant, unpredictable psychopath, just made it lethal. Accused of murdering their father, a man she always called a monster, Abigail claims
self-defense. As the trial unfolds and long-buried family secrets explode into headlines across Washington State, Laurel’s hard-won privacy is shattered. And the nightmare is just beginning.

Even as Abigail’s trial consumes public attention, new dangers close in as the murder of a prominent scientist and the illegal poaching of a rare Pacific plant point to something insidious. Laurel turns to Washington Fish and Wildlife captain Huck Rivers, her partner in work and life, for help. But the deeper they dig, the more the case seems to echo the chaos unraveling Laurel’s world.

With danger tightening around her, Laurel faces an impossible choice: trust Abigail in one crucial, treacherous alliance, or risk losing everything. Her career, her relationships, even her life hang in the balance. The clock is ticking—and if the threat breaks loose, nothing will be fast enough to stop it.

Releasing December 9th!

A cabin in the woods. Three dead, one in critical condition. Property owned by not just any Tennessee local, but one of the richest men in the country.

Vera Boyett isn’t quite sure what it means. But that’s why Sheriff Gray “Bent” Benton called her: to figure it out. Criminal analysis is what she does best. Even when the town is in panicked shambles, even when the case is more delicate than most…and even when it’s not the only case on her plate.

Vera’s family is caught in a deadly mess of its own. And while her pregnant sister seems an unlikely culprit, each new detail seems to point to her guilt. Desperate to protect her, Vera vows to find out what really happened.

As evidence emerges in both cases, Vera and Bent work to unravel a dangerous web of secrets to get to the truth. But their investigations reveal more than they ever expected…

Anyone else snuggling up with Cash and his brother

Anyone else snuggling up with Cash and his brothers? 😍 I am more than halfway in and totally sold on Hartsville TX and all of the Rivers boys. I can’t wait to binge the rest of the series as I wait for book five to get here! 🤠💗

My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it’s no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money.

I haven’t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

There’s just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch’s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don’t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He’s rude, he’s growly, and he wants me gone. I’d fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch.

We’re enemies from the get-go. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He’s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let’s just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too.

But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn’t already lassoed mine…
