Inevitably You
2017
Raising my daughter on my own is hard enough, but when you add in a psycho ex-husband and not enough money to make ends meet, there are times when I want to put my head down and never pick it up again.
Except my daughter deserves more than that.
I deserve more than that.
And then…? I meet David Carmichael.
A man with a quick smile, infectious laughter, and a protective streak so wide, even the Grand Canyon sighs in admiration. We’ve spent our entire lives almost meeting, years and years of coincidences so strong they send goosebumps down my spine. It’s like fate took a look at the cards I’ve been dealt and decided to hand me him as an apology.
David says we were inevitable and now that we’re together, we’re unbreakable. I only hope he’s right.
Inevitably You is the second book in the Brookside Romance series. While the stories are best enjoyed in order, they are designed so you can read them in any order you choose.

This is Why
2017
A little more than six years ago my life changed forever when I met Tyler Reed. He’s one-hundred percent Marine and one-hundred-ten percent man. From his broad chest and strong back, to his infectious smile and panty soaking charm, he is the man who invaded my heart and consumes my fantasies to this day.
He is the love of my life, or, I think he could have been if he hadn’t disappeared. Instead, I was left with the memories of our magical day of cosmic attraction and our night of unforgettable passion. Well, that and an exuberant six-year-old boy who I imagine is just like his dad.
Life since has settled into a rhythm, not perfect, but comfortable in its predictability. I can see the path in front of us, and have planned the foreseeable future down to the smallest detail.
But life has a funny way of throwing a wrench into those perfect plans, doesn’t it?
After catching a glimpse of Ty at my best friend’s wedding reception, I find myself wondering if he is capable of completely rewriting what I think I know about happiness.
The problem? I’m not sure how he’s going to take the news that he’s a father.
This Is Why is a standalone, second chance romance set in the small town of Brookside, Ohio. While it's part the Brookside Romance series, these books can be read in any order.

Along Comes Trouble
2017
From the moment we met, Tessa Morgan pegged me as trouble. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. I’m funny. Easy-going. My years as a high school football star worked wonders on my body as well as my reputation. I’m Colton Carmichael. Everyone likes me.
Everyone except Tessa.
And believe me, the feeling is mutual.
Every time we run into each other, there’s an explosion to rival any fireworks display out there. We couldn’t be more opposite if we tried, but chance keeps pushing us together. Before long, those explosions of anger turn into…something else. Everyone I know loves Tessa, and the more I get to know her, the more I understand why.
She challenges me to become a better version of myself while I teach her to loosen her death grip on the rules.
Love was never supposed to be part of my vocabulary, much less the house with the picket fence, or kids running around the yard. Not for this rolling stone. The way Tessa and I see our futures is as different as we are. We're headed in opposite directions as our relationship stretches out between us, a rubber band pulled taut and thin.
So now what? For the first time since high school, I look at the future with hope instead of indignation. I can’t stand the idea of being without her, but how long can you ignore a freight train coming straight at you when you’re standing on the tracks?
Along Comes Trouble is a standalone, enemies to lovers romance.

Book4-Along Comes Trouble
I hate him. From his stupid truck, to his thick, dark-chocolate hair. From the baseball cap pulled low over his eyes, to the Henley stretched across his broad shoulders. I don’t care how good he looks when he smiles, Colton Carmichael is insufferable.
And obviously, the feeling is mutual.
I’ve spent my entire life focused on the future, busting my butt through college while everyone else was hooking up and partying. I’m on track to meet my goals and I’m not about to let some muscle-clad jerk traipse into my world and mess everything up.
Every time we run into each other, there’s a spark big enough to start a wildfire. I don’t care if he does set off butterflies in my stomach. I know what’s good for me, and it isn’t Colton Carmichael.
