Have you ever read a book and felt as if it had been written just for you? What if it was? Katherine O’Shea doesn’t have many vices in life, but Nick Penn’s romances are her secret addiction. It’s like each one has been written for her and her alone. Picturing herself as the heroine is easy, and if she imagines the hot, sexy laptop guy she sees in the bookstore every week as her hero, well, what’s the harm? Nicholas Cerasino decided to pursue his love of writing after losing his leg in his last tour of action. Military suspense was his genre of choice, but after seeing the cute, shy woman in his grandfather’s bookstore every week, he pours his secret desires into steamy romances instead —- with her as his heroine. With help from his matchmaking grandfather, Nick’s ready to take their storybook romance to the next level. But he soon finds out that writing romance is a lot easier than living it.

Vincent Cerasino gives his all to the Cecilton PD, so much so there’s not much time or energy left for him to pursue any kind of meaningful relationship. Besides, he has yet to meet a woman he thinks would be willing to put up with the long hours, the inherent risks of the job, and the occasional lack of attention - just to be with him. Haven McAlister might just be the exception. She’s the pretty waitress who always has a great cup of coffee and a ready smile waiting for him every night. The more he learns about her, the more he likes. If he could have a woman to come home to every night, he’d want it to be her. Haven knows the best things in life don’t come easy or free, and that a little sacrifice can go a long way. When she learned half-brother was in a bad situation, she didn’t think twice about putting her continuing education on hold and take him in, even if it meant taking on a second job. That’s what family does, even when it’s just two of them. Officer Vinnie’s nightly visit is always the highlight of her day. He’s handsome, funny, brave, and is one of the few people who truly appreciates her love of old-time gangster films. She wonders if he notices the little things she does, just for him. When things get tough for Haven and her brother, Vinnie is right there, doing what he does best—saving the day and unknowingly claiming another little piece of her heart in the process. And maybe, just maybe, things aren’t as one-sided as they seem…

NOW AVAILABLE and in KU! Paul Cerasino’s life is all work and no play. As Cecilton’s only family services attorney, his docket is full. He’s burning the candle at both ends with no time for a social life. However, the quirky, fascinating paralegal he can't seem to stop thinking about makes him wish he did. Allison Kearney has been protecting her sister her whole life—from the hands of their abusive parents and then from a sadistic husband. In order for Miriam to get a fresh start, they need legal help. Allison just didn’t expect to find it with a gorgeous, smart, funny, and incredibly thoughtful lawyer. The more time Paul spends with Allison, the more he believes she’s the woman for him. But she’s only in town for a few days, and starting something they can’t finish is only going to make it harder to let her go. Keeping things professional might seem like the right thing to so, but it sure doesn't feel that way. And when an unexpected attack puts Allison’s life in danger, Paul quickly discovers there’s nothing he won’t do to keep from losing her forever-including giving a reason to stay.
