Beholden

2020

Laurel Ocean knows loss like the sea knows the shore. When the loss of her grandfather brings her back to her hometown, unexpectedly inheriting the shambles of her family’s coffee shop, her first instinct is to run. After all, it’s just something else to lose. So, Laurel makes a plan: fix up the business, sell it, and get out of town. And it would’ve been perfect… if the building hadn’t come with a condition: a stubborn, broody, and distractingly sexy contractor. Eli Downing made a promise to look after Laurel, and offering to repair the coffeeshop is just the start. He’s not going anywhere whether she likes it or not. And for as many walls as she pays him to fix, he’s determined to tear down the same from around her hardened heart. The longer she stays, the more Laurel finds herself beholden. To her family’s legacy. To her loyal hometown. And to the man healing her heart. But when loss draws another line in the sand, will she flee from her fears or fight for her future?

Bespoken

2020

From bestselling author, Dr. Rebecca Sharp, comes a captivating and emotional small-town romance where sparks fly as opposites attract and ignite a love that can't be denied... Jules Vandelsen never wanted for anything - except everything money couldn’t buy. As the heiress to the Rock Beach Resort, her glamorous world was perfectly tailored to further her parent’s empire. From designer clothes to private schools, every piece of her life was completely bespoken. After her grandfather’s death, one fateful night forces Jules to see her palace for what it really is—a pretty prison. Risking her family’s wrath, she’s decided to forge a new path—one that leads straight to the man she can’t stop thinking about… the same chivalrous carpenter who knows more about that night than he’ll admit; Mick Madison. A Texan-transplant with a giant heart, Mick knows he should keep his distance. After all, dusty jeans and scuffed work-boots might as well scream ‘commoner’ rather than carpenter. But Mick can’t convince himself to stay away… or to stop falling for a woman so far out of his league. But when Jules’ prestigious family is linked to crimes happening in Carmel Cove, the road to her future splits, and she’ll have to decide between a life she was groomed to live and a life she was made to love. And choosing love means she could lose Mick forever.

Betrothed

2023

Zeke Williams has been a guardian for as long as he can remember. Between his sisters and his job running a safe house, Zeke does whatever it takes to protect the women in his care. And because so many women need him, it’s unfair… and impossible… to find the one he could promise forever to. Lucky for him, Kenzie Barrett didn’t give him a choice. Kenzie needed help. Specifically, she needed a husband, a home, and a stable life for reasons she’ll do anything to protect. And when Zeke overhears about her desperate situation, his guardian mode kicks in and he does the only thing he can: he proposes. For Kenzie, becoming betrothed to a man she hardly knows is the least of her concerns. Sure, Zeke might be strong, stubborn, and impossibly sexy, but most importantly, he’s her simple solution to a sticky situation. That is, until she realizes how easy it is to fall for the stoic savior who takes their sham far too seriously. Zeke hoped their convenient marriage would fix her problem; instead it created another. And this one is far more dangerous now that his guarded heart is on the line.
