Forbidden Kisses
2017
The USA Today bestselling author of the Hero’s Welcome series introduces a trio of swoon-worthy North Carolina brothers fighting for love in this novel of sand, sea, and seduction. For years, Jack Sawyer’s family has been running their upscale seafood business like a finely tuned machine. But every machine breaks down eventually, and suddenly Jack needs a new office manager, a new kayak launch, and a new lease on life. Then Grace Donner shows up again. She’s smart, motivated, and perfect for the manager position, but if she’s anything like her mom, she can’t be trusted. And Jack has never been able to trust himself around Grace. Grace hasn’t seen her former stepbrothers since their parents’ messy divorce, but she never forgot them—especially Jack. She misses being part of the big rambunctious Sawyer clan, and if there’s an opportunity to set things right, she means to do it. But she can’t ignore Jack’s irresistibly kissable lips, or the searing way he looks at her when he thinks she’s not looking. Their chemistry is more explosive than ever. And if the Sawyers can forgive and forget, anything is possible.

Fortunately, Krista knows she can count on a waterfront happy hour every Wednesday with her childhood best friend, Noah Sawyer, the one part of her life she never wants to change. But, like it or not, things are changing—because Krista can’t stop wondering what would happen if she grabbed Noah by the collar and kissed him like it was her job. Bored of the superficial women he’s been dating, Noah’s putting his love life on hold so he can focus on his family’s high-end fishing business. Sure, there are moments when he’s tempted by Krista’s soft lips and killer smile—but her friendship is too important to Noah. How could he let himself jeopardize everything they share?

One Last Kiss
2018
~ A Blushing Bay novella ~ Acclaimed chef, Abby Sawyer has been offered a chance to host her own cooking show. The catch is that it involves leaving Blushing Bay, North Carolina. There's nothing left for her in the small coastal town anyway. When she gets locked in her restaurant's basement with her estranged husband, however, she's not going anywhere. And she'll either end up killing or kissing her ex before the night is over. Even though they've been separated for two years, commercial fisherman Sam Sawyer is devastated when he's served divorce papers. He refuses to sign until he and Abby have talked. Knowing she's alone at her restaurant this weekend, he heads over and finds her downstairs in the basement—just before the door slams shut and locks them in. Being trapped in a cellar means there's nowhere to hide from the secrets they've been harboring. Sam is putting everything on the table tonight, including his heart, and hoping to win Abby back for good.
