Black Hills Baby
2008
When Hollywood heart-throb Cooper Lindstrom needs money to get his late mother's homicidal bookie off his back, he jumps at the lifeline Black Hills postmaster Libby McGannon tosses his way. In Cooper's mind, their arrangement is his sperm in trade for a share in her family's gold mine. But the real pay off is her story—the one he plans to turn into a hit sitcom that will push him back on top. The hit show Coop saw coming. Love? Completely blindsided him.And the baby? Who could have guessed Cooper wanted to be a father? Too bad Libby—the woman he's fallen hard for—might never forgive him for turning her life into a joke for worldwide consumption. Not to mention the changes he's brought to the small Black Hills community of Sentinel Pass, where happily-ever-after isn't left to chance.

Black Hills Billionaire
2016
Success can hide a multitude of secrets.
Hollywood’s "wunderkind" producer/director Shane Reynard risks more than a boatload of money when he agrees to set Cooper Lindstrom's new TV sitcom in the Black Hills. Reconnecting with Sentinel Pass local Jenna Murphy means facing a dark truth and inadvertently makes Jenna—his biggest regret—a target for the twin brother he hates—the sadistic deviant Shane has long suspected raped Jenna in college…and got away with it.
Neither love nor money can protect her from the past.
Jenna Murphy doesn't trust men easily. With valid reason. But Shane Reynard is different. The writer in her sees a tortured soul searching for redemption. Co-writing a Sentinel Passtime script with Shane opens the door to a future she never dared imagine—one that includes love. Until the past jeopardizes everything and reveals a truth she never saw coming.
