Marelle For years, I’ve tried to convince myself what I did to Jaxson Reid was justified. That I was young and naïve, and it was just business. But I’ve always regretted hurting him. I’ve always wondered what could have been. Now I’m being hunted, my every move watched, and I’m out of options. With nowhere else to turn, I’m back in the Bay I swore never to return to. All it takes is one kiss, and five years melt away. I feel so safe, and so right in his arms, it’s foolish to think he can forgive me... …and daydreaming about what I can’t have could cost me my life. Jaxson Marelle says she needs my protection, how can I say no? Sure, what she did nearly destroyed me, but she doesn’t deserve to be harassed by a crazed fan. She swears she regrets the past, and I do too, but now isn’t the time. My life is already complicated. Her stalker is closing in on her. Reopening old wounds would be a distraction. I can’t fix what she did, and I’m not sure she can either. If I was smart, I’d keep her at arm’s length while protecting her. The past is about to catch up to us and tear our lives apart, but I’m going to keep her close for as long as I can… Keywords: Second Chance Romance, Stalker Romance, Protector Romance, Foodie Romance, Old Flame Romance, Vegan Chef Romance

Book excerpt: The day of my best friend’s wedding, I’m the one rocking the strapless red taffeta and chef’s apron ensemble, running on zero sleep. Being both the event caterer and a bridesmaid is crazy, I know. But, I’m a pro. This is my seventh wedding after all—as bridesmaid, that is. Pretty sure that’s some kind of town record. Still, no amount of my trademark meticulous planning could’ve possibly prepared me to see him again. The prodigal Doctor Dreamy himself, Mason Stewart. My first (and only) love who disappeared without a word literally the day after proposing to me. What the heck is he doing back in Bliss River? And how is it at all fair that he looks this good? Also, holy crap, why is he coming this way? * * * There she is. Somehow even more beautiful than I remember. This overdue apology is one I’ve rehearsed since the day I left, pulverized by my own family, positive I'd never be good enough for the only girl I've ever loved. Took a lot of both time and therapy, but I finally managed to fix what they broke. And now I’m here to repair what I broke. I know Lark. She’ll see this second chance I’m hoping for as a no-strings fling so we can each get closure and move on. Right. Like it’s just that easy. You don’t move on from a woman like Lark. And I’m pretty sure a clothing-optional arrangement will make that feat infinitely more impossible. Still, it’s a start—a way for Lark to see the man I’ve become. A man who isn’t looking for a fling, but rather, matching rings, kids, the whole nine yards. Previously titled Dating Dr. Dreamy. Same swoony, feel-good story, just with a fresh title and cover makeover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ❤ He see what she hides . . . even from herself. ❤ Seasons in a Small Town -- Autumn Meet Josh Kincannon, high school principal, single father of three, and thus, as he reminds himself ruefully, essentially celibate back into misty memory and forward into the foreseeable future. After three months of trying to work with Vanessa Irish via phone and e-mails on a project to help tiny Drago, Illinois, Josh believes he has an accurate picture of Zeke-Tech's CFO: Conscientious? Oh, yeah. Intelligent? Absolutely. Agreeable? Not so much. Even his upbeat approach is challenged by their grumpy-sunshine opposites. But there’s no way to avoid a heavy dose of forced proximity if he wants the best for Drago. Then he catches sight of her wild, vibrant robe and begins to wonder ... Every time Vanessa goes into her I'm-so-boring-I-disappear-against-white-walls act, he remembers that vibrant, wild fabric hanging on the corner of a door and he gets curious. And the more curious he becomes, the more he discovers about her that has him feeling things a whole lot hotter than curiosity. Things that threaten that celibacy claim, scrape against his high school principal job, and shake up life with his three kids. Numbers, that's where Vanessa is comfortable. Not all this interaction with people that she's been pitched into. Especially interacting with Josh Kincannon. Why does he insist on drawing her into his town, his life, his family?
