Wait For You

2020

Every epic love story starts somewhere… When Ryan Harrison met Annie Mathews, he didn’t expect his life to be turned upside down. One smile from her, though, one touch of her silky lips, and every one of his priorities was realigned. For the past three years, he’s juggled his growing career in the pharmaceutical industry with her finishing school. He’s even managed to pretend their love affair is light and casual so as not to spook her. But now, with her on the verge of her college graduation, Ryan’s ready to step things up. Especially with the job offer he just received. The only problem is…he has no idea if Annie feels the same. And if she doesn’t want to go with him to San Francisco, he has no idea what he’ll do next.

A 2012 Readers' Choice Awards Finalist in Romantic Suspense! A woman without a past… After a tragic accident left her with no memory, Kate Alexander struggled to fit in with a husband and world that didn’t feel right. She’s had no reason to question what friends and family have told her, not until her husband is suddenly killed and she finds a photo of a young girl in his office. A girl who can’t be anyone but a daughter Kate didn’t know she had. A man desperate for a reason to live… Ryan Harrison lost his wife in a plane crash five years ago. To cope with the pain of her loss, he dedicated himself to his job and to raising their daughter. Now a successful pharmaceutical executive, Ryan has everything a man could want—money, fame and power—but he’d give it all up in a heartbeat for just one more day with the woman he still loves. Two lives about to converge. As Kate begins to dig into a past she doesn’t remember, evidence leads her to San Francisco and puts her on the path toward Ryan, a man who sees in her the woman he loved and lost. Kate feels a draw to Ryan, one she can’t explain, but is that feeling enough to convince her this is where she’s supposed to be? As Ryan and Kate search for answers, they uncover lies long buried, a passion hotter than either expected and a danger that threatens…even now…when the second chance they’ve both been searching for is finally within reach.

Melt For Me

2016

Yuletide Spirits pub owner Ella Maclean doesn’t do holidays. In fact, she’d be perfectly happy if the calendar jumped from November to January, bypassing December all together. Known as Holly, North Carolina’s infamous Scrooge, Ella’s singular focus is to capitalize on the silly tourists who flock to the winter-wonderland-themed town so she can forget everything she lost on a cold, snowy night long ago. Then rock’s latest “it” guy, Tate Kendrick, rolls into town. Tate’s determined to break through Ella’s frigid barriers, and though Ella tries to resist his wicked charm, the heat they once shared as teens flares hotter than ever. Slowly, Ella’s frozen heart begins to thaw. But when trouble linked to the rock star strikes at her pub, Ella suddenly starts to wonder if the return of her first love is the holiday miracle she’s been too afraid to hope for, or if bad boy Tate Kendrick is nothing more than her nightmare before Christmas.
