She’s stronger now, a businesswoman who doesn’t take any crap from anyone. Especially not a rock superstar with an over-inflated ego. He may be a man loved by thousands, just not her! So why did she kiss him? He’s back in Lake Howling to see his sister and instead finds something Ryan hadn’t known he was missing. Friends and Faith. Friends he understood, Faith he didn’t. She refused to acknowledge his success, and her cool attitude gets under his skin. But he’s never walked away from a challenge, especially one that stirs him up like Faith. When his life follows him from L.A. and threatens Faith, he knows that leaving is no longer an option, because if he did, he’d be leaving more than his home. He’d be leaving his heart behind too.

Book excerpt: Paul Theodore Newman likes his life to run smoothly. His sheets have a thread count between 1400-1500, and his spreadsheets are always on point. Maybe when he’s back in Lake Howling he lets down his guard and his personal hygiene slips, but there is absolutely no need for Hope Lawrence to take shots at him because she dresses che dumpster. Her fashion sense makes him shudder, as do her kale smoothies! Down on her luck, she challenges him at every turn, but when trouble follows her to Howling, he finds himself determined to help her, only to discover it’s him who needs rescuing! They do say opposites attract. Hope Lawrence’s life has imploded. Losing her job and savings she thought she’d hit rock bottom. WRONG! She totally humiliates herself in front of her childhood nemesis. No way can she face the sexy as hell Paul Newman again, knowing his black eye was a result of her stupidity? Can she go back to Lake Howling and pick up the pieces of her life? ​Both seem unlikely, as does the sudden attraction she feels for the man who wears designer clothes and has a girl in every city. Her head is telling her to run, but her heart has other ideas. If you enjoy your small town romance sizzling with a side of crazy then Lake Howling is for you. Meet the real authority in town, the local book club, and maybe ask Willow to draw you a memento! Swim in the ice cold lake, then warm up with a coffee and mystery muffin at The Hoot Café. Plenty of feels and laughs, all wrapped up in a town that will have you packing your bags to head there from the opening page.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He needed a date for his cousin’s wedding before his family forced one on him. No strings. One night. Sawyer Duke hadn’t planned on it being her. Birdie McAllister was Lyntacky’s Little Miss Sunshine. Unnaturally happy and living her best life, or so he’d always believed. All that changed when he overheard a single conversation. Now he knows her secret, and he’s making her pay for his silence by being his plus-one. The only issue Sawyer could see with the arrangement was that she no longer just annoyed him. Now he wanted her too. Of all the people she knew to find out her secret, it had to be him. Sawyer Duke, Lyntacky’s grumpiest man. Yes, they have a monthly poll for that! Birdie was just barely keeping her head above water, working three jobs and trying to keep her family home. She didn’t need a Duke poking his nose into her business. She’d go to the wedding to ensure he kept her secret, but then she was avoiding him. But a night surrounded by loved up people loosened Sawyer’s tongue, and she realized her secrets were nothing compared to his. Clearly, there was more under that rough exterior than he wanted people to see. Lyntacky was like most small towns. It had its interfering locals and families who could trace their roots back hundreds of years. Where Lyntacky stood out from the rest was their love of Square Dancing and the Duke brothers. Both were trouble. Neither had plans for leaving.
