Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I return to my small hometown, determined to save my family's restaurant. The Shake N Tail has seen better days, but it's been the Deeb family restaurant for three generations. The old lobster shack has history, and I won't let it go down without a fight. Just when things are starting to look up, trouble walks in. Piercing dark eyes and strong arms kind of trouble. Ben Carlisle. The man looks like he just stepped out of an L.L. Bean centerfold, complete with scruffy strong jawline, broad shoulders, and hands that could span a moose’s antlers. In an instant, my heart beats to a rhythm it hasn’t ever known. While Ben might be a tall drink of Maine-crafted beer, I soon learn that he's my brand-new enemy. Ben's corporate run seafood franchise threatens to put my family's struggling diner out of business. Ben's seafood restaurant is everything I can't stand, and goes against everything I hold dear, right down to its gleaming square footage. Nevermind flannel shirts and hiking boots never made me feel so hot and bothered. Every time I bump into my new rival, I can't fight the way my skin tingles against his touch, or the image in my mind of his large, strong hands caressing my body. He's charismatic, handsome, kind, and his presence makes me want to do things that should never be done with one’s enemy. There’s a lot more at stake than just business, but can I afford to let my heart take the lead? You’ve Got Love and Lobsters is a steamy, small-town, enemies-to-lovers, swoonworthy romance, with a guaranteed HEA. It is the first in the standalone Shipbuilt Shenanigans series. It’s filled with snark, epic Maine scenery, and lots of butter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens on a tropical island stays on a tropical island...Right?? I love to mark off all the boxes of my to-do lists; love to plan what comes next. But one box that remains permanently unchecked is the relationship status box. Frustrated after another failed date, my friends convince me that a week of sand and sun will revive me and help me shake free of failed dating apps, work, and the dreariness of spring in Shipbuilt. First day in my tropical paradise and I faint, probably from dehydration, and fall into the arms of my new hero, self-made Dominican-New Yorker, Carlos. He promises me the week of a lifetime, and I let myself believe him. After all, you only live once. His ease of all things island life--from motorcycles to waterfall jumps to finding the tastiest coconuts and pineapples, lull me into letting go of my need to be in control and let him take the lead. Dimpled smiles and bronzed muscles fill me with a heat that has nothing to do with the Caribbean sun. For a brief flicker of time, I think there might be more to our fling than just hot tropical lust, but Carlos ghosts me soon after I leave the Caribbean paradise. Vacation over, reality smacks hard: cold gray days, long hours at work, and a positive pregnancy test. You've Got Love in Paradise is a juicy, steamy vacation romance, complete with a cinnamon roll hero, accidental pregnancy, and a guaranteed HEA.

Book excerpt: Barnes & Noble pick for "20 Favorite Indie Books of 2018" "Casey expertly nails the extended Tucker family—some 20 people—and combines these convincing characters, a superb sense of time and place, and a solid plot in this marvelously atmospheric historical." —Publishers Weekly STARRED review Some people who have experienced a shocking, dangerous, or terrifying event develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is recognized today as a debilitating but potentially treatable mental health condition. Military veterans are a vulnerable group. But PTSD can deliver a knockout blow to anyone, as the remarkable unfolding of the tenth Alafair Tucker Mystery, Forty Dead Men, shows. World War I is over. Alafair is overjoyed that her elder son, George Washington Tucker, has finally returned home from the battlefields of France. Yet she is the only one in the family who senses that he has somehow changed. Gee Dub moves back into his old bunkhouse quarters, but he's restless and spends his days roaming. One rainy day while out riding he spies a woman trudging along the country road. She's thoroughly skittish and rejects his help. So Gee Dub cannily rides for home to enlist his mother in offering the exhausted traveler shelter. Once made comfortable at the Tucker farm, Holly Johnson reveals she's forged her way from Maine to Oklahoma in hopes of finding the soldier she married before he shipped to France. At the war's end, Daniel Johnson disappeared without a trace. It's been months. Is he alive? Is she a widow? Holly is following her only lead—that Dan has connected with his parents who live yonder in Okmulgee. Gee Dub, desperate for some kind of mission, resolves to shepherd Holly through her quest although the prickly young woman spurns any aid. Meanwhile, Alafair has discovered that Gee Dub sleeps with two cartridge boxes under his pillow—boxes containing twenty "dead men" each. The boxes are empty, save for one bullet. She recognizes in Gee Dub and Holly that not all war wounds are physical. Then Holly's missing husband turns up, shot dead. Gee Dub is arrested on suspicion of murder, and the entire extended Tucker family rallies to his defense. He says he had no reason to do it, but the solitary bullet under Gee Dub's pillow is gone. Regardless, be he guilty or innocent, his mother will travel any distance and go to any lengths to keep him out of prison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For the past five years, the lobster population along the coast of Maine has boomed, resulting in a lobster harvest six times the size of the record catch from the 1980s ... [This book] follows three lobster captains ... as they haul and set thousands of traps. Unexpectedly, boom may turn to bust, as the captains must fight a warming ocean, volatile prices, and rough weather to keep their livelihood afloat. The three captains work longer hours, trying to make up in volume what they lack in price. As a result, there are 3 million lobster traps on the bottom of the Gulf of Maine, while Frank, Jason, and others call for a reduction of traps ... Maine lobstering towns are among the first American communities to confront global warming, and the survival of the Maine Coast depends upon their efforts. It may be an uphill battle to create a sustainable catch as high temperatures are already displacing lobsters northward toward Canadian waters--out of reach of American fishermen"--
