In Trouble with Him

2020

Meeting a hot professor at my best friend's wedding has hookup written all over it. Dammit it if he isn’t unexpectedly charming, making me want to abandon one-night stand plans for something more. But dammit again if he doesn’t run off mid-kiss like a fugitive from Cinderella’s pumpkin coach. That’s because he’s got a curfew as part of his house arrest for insider trading. Oh well, I’ll never see him again anyway. Except that he shows up at my office—at my new job where I’ve just been made a law partner. Turns out, he’s my newest client and he may be guilty of all kinds of things. Not the least of which is stealing my heart. Is falling for him just asking for trouble? This is Book 3 in the Summer Heat series but it is a \complete standalone\

Second Chance at Us

2021

I don’t believe in second chances. Then again, I didn’t believe in love until I met Blake Fulton. Fifteen years ago, we were opposites who didn't attract. He was quiet and kept to himself in high school. I hung with the cheerleaders and the rowdy football crowd. But on the worst day of my life, he convinced me to ditch school, bought me a burger, and kissed me better than any of the football guys ever did. Then he ghosted me and broke my heart. Now he’s back, all grown up into a charming, drop-dead gorgeous heartbreaker with mesmerizing blue eyes, a devilish smile, and a razor-sharp wit. He also owns some of San Francisco’s trendiest restaurants and it’s damn hot in his kitchen. He wants to prove he’s a better guy now. I just want to resist him. But there’s something about Blake… the way he ignites a fire that burns only for him, the way he knows what I need even before I do. The way he owns every kiss... I could fall for him all over again. But I don’t believe in second chances. Will he be the one to change my mind? SECOND CHANCE AT US is part of the Berkeley Hills series and is a complete STANDALONE novel.

Falling for You

2021

When brilliant, logical Owen Miller walks into my bakery and witnesses the worst break-up in the history of public, mortifying break-ups, I can only think of one thing to do… so I kiss him. Is it a mistake? Yes. Do I regret it? Maybe. Friends aren’t supposed to kiss—or have red-hot moments next to the bread oven. And respected bakers with designs on a San Francisco bread empire aren’t supposed to manhandle their customers. It’s a rebound, pure and simple. We both admit it. I don’t have time for anything more, especially when I’m on the cusp of achieving my dream—expanding my business into hand-picked, perfect locations. But Owen is a savvy hotel owner who knows a thing or two about business. So when location scouting leads to wine tasting, long leisurely drives, and a hands-on meeting in a wine cave, I decide mixing business and pleasure with the smoking-hot charmer might be the best of both worlds. Until an anonymous competitor seems determined to sink everything I’ve put my heart and soul into. Maybe it’s time to end our friends with benefits arrangement before I lose everything. But what if losing Owen is losing everything? What if I’m falling for my rebound guy?

The Spark Between Us

2021

When I move to small-town Carolwood, I don't expect to run into a hot-as-sin firefighter with smoldering gray eyes and eight-pack abs. Literally. With my car. Doesn't help matters that Braden Michaels is my brother's best friend. And my new roommate. He's too busy putting out blazes and igniting them in the hearts of women to pay much attention to me. I'm just here for work-six months of nerding out at a world-renowned science lab, then going home to a nice promotion and the boring men in my comfort zone. I'm not here for a rescue fantasy, a fire station pole dance, or a romantic walk in a vineyard. I'm certainly not here to fall in love. Until one earth-shattering night when we collide in a ball of white-hot sparks, and everything changes. We're no longer just roommates. I don't know what we are. But edging open Braden's complicated heart knocks something loose in mine. All my plans and scientific facts start to pale in comparison with feelings I can't control. My time here has an expiration date and neither one of us wants to get hurt. Rushing into a burning building seems less risky than chasing the spark between us. Maybe it's smarter to walk away. Or maybe I've found the one reason to stay. Do opposites attract or are we playing with fire? The Spark Between Us is Sarah and Braden's story in the Berkeley Hills series and is an opposites-attract STANDALONE novel.

Playing for You

2021

I'm the office introvert, a blast of socially awkward sunshine on a stick. Donovan Taylor is a broody, gorgeous soccer player with a chip on his shoulder. We are not a thing. But when my boss sends me to a pro sports banquet, I stumble in late and find the only empty seat next to the San Francisco Strikers' resident hottie and marquee player. Of course, I promptly make a fool of myself. I don’t even expect him to remember my name, let alone kiss me. Or ask me out. I mean, seriously, I program computers for a living and play mahjong for fun. I don't hook up with gorgeous green-eyed players and stroke their egos or their abs—although it’s a hell of a good time—because I know it will never last. But my competitive streak runs hot, and Donovan may be the one person who can get me the promotion I deserve. All I need to do is convince him to join my company's virtual reality sports game—avoid falling for him in the process. So what if his moves off the field are as impressive as his moves on it? How hard can it be to win at his game? Playing for You is an opposites-attract sports romance and a standalone novel. It is Book 4 in the Berkeley Hills series

No Match for Her

2022

I need a fake date to my brother's wedding, and billionaire Charlie Walgrove owns a tux. Simple, right? He’s also my sister’s boss, and I agree to let her set me up with the awkward genius, who apparently has even less luck in the dating game than a struggling artist, aka me. We’re total opposites, but the date goes okay. We agree to be friends, the kind who won’t become lovers. Famous last words. On a series of “friend dates” involving bar snacks, acrylic paint, and hedgehogs, I discover that Charlie is nothing like what I expected. Under his hoodie and glasses, he’s handsome and down-to-earth, stuck in a job he hates and afraid to disappoint people by walking away. His heart is as gorgeous as his hidden face. I’ve always felt like the flaky sister in my family, but Charlie sees me as the artist I want to be. As our friendship deepens, so do my feelings for him. Maybe I’m even falling in love. But gambling with my heart feels dangerous when all my relationships end in failure–especially if he’s only looking for a friend. Is it only princesses that get a Happily Ever After? Or is there hope for a hot mess like me? No Match for Her is a STANDALONE friends-to-lovers, opposites-attract romance. It is part of the Berkeley Hills series.
