Read My Lips

2016

\\\ Now Live! $.99 Release Special \\\ I ran away from the glitz and privilege of my famous New York City family to this small-town Texas college to find myself. I didn't expect to find him... ...the muscular, tatted bad-boy who would soon become my obsession. He was broken, lost, and voiceless ... just like me. His eyes smoldered me with one look. His touch awakened the woman inside me. And through his lips, his perfect, plush, kissable lips, he drew out the inspiration deep in my soul I did not know was there. I needed to believe that he could save me. I wanted him to help me find my voice at last ... the voice that would set me apart from my tragically perfect family, the voice that would finally break me free ... If only he could hear a word of it. The College Obsession Romance series centers around a group of friends and the relationships they form during their time at a small-town Texas school. They are angsty, steamy new adult novels with HEAs and NO cheating. Although they are obsession-themed romances, there are no stalkers or psychos!

Beneath The Skin

2016

They call me a player, but really I'm lover. I fall in love seven days a week. Give me a few minutes and I'll charm my way into any woman's heart. Give me a few hours and I'll have her flat on her back, headboard dented, panties on the lampshade, and begging for more - guaranteed. Until I'm knocked off my feet by Nell, the bangin' art school chick with the killer bod. No, it isn't some love-at-first-sight kind of thing. In fact, I hate how she looks at me with those sharp, gorgeous eyes and I'm tripping over my feet, my swagger lost. What is it about this woman that drives me crazy? She deflects all my advances. She doesn't laugh at my jokes. She makes me feel like I'm the joke. Now, she's got her hands on a new art project. I'd rather she had them on me. \\\\ If you haven't read "Read My Lips" - the first book in this series - don't worry: the FULL novel is included with your copy of Beneath The Skin!
