Little Love Bites

2021

Former bad-boy Drew Seaforth comes home to his small tourist town in the North Carolina mountains after spending eight years in the Army, to take over his dad's auto service business. He drops in to his old hangout, only to find that it's no longer the Sweet Shoppe. It's now called Andie's Candies, and it's jam-packed with customers. Andie herself is Andrea Schubert, the girl whose junior prom he ruined. It wasn't his intention, but she's never forgiven him. These days, Andie is a curvaceous beauty with plenty of confidence. Every second they spend in each other's company seems to sizzle with mutual attraction, and Drew wants her more than ever. Can he convince her to give him more than just a taste of her love?

Little Love Tokens

2021

Welcome to Dogwood Falls, Small town. Big love. I can’t say nothing ever changes in Dogwood Falls. I love the new economic developments. It’s just that nothing ever seems to change for me. I’m still here working at the bank. Still stuck. Still alone. The same way I’ve been since Ward moved away twelve years ago, when we were teenagers. Every time I look for him on social media, I’m forced to admit defeat. He’s just not there. But one day, I look up from the teller’s desk and see him—here. It feels like time started ticking again. And the way he’s looking at me tells me that he’s here for me. Moving away from my hometown when my dad got a job all the way across the country was hard. Being a teenager is hard enough, without losing the person who knows you best. I lost the person who loved me. Now that I’m out of the army and back in Dogwood Falls, I can’t wait to see Jess. My Jess. I gave her half of an engraved coin before I left, and I kept the other half. Seeing that she still wears my token on a chain around her neck tells me that she never gave up on me. Even when I gave up on myself. Does love ever give people another shot? Short, sweet, steamy military man/curvy-girl small-town second-chance romance. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA. Part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.

Little Love Notes

2021

Welcome to Dogwood Falls, Small town. Big love. I left Dogwood Falls ten years ago to pursue a baseball career that never panned out. Now I’m back in Dogwood Falls, teaching PE and taking on the job of coaching the high school’s dismal baseball team. It’s weird to walk these halls as an adult. Even weirder? The gorgeous, curvy school librarian turns out to be sweet, nerdy Maddie Main, my secret crush back in high school. I always thought she was too smart for me. Maybe I was wrong. How can I let her know how I feel? I used to be the biggest book nerd you could imagine, as a teenager. Needless to say, no boys ever noticed me—especially not cute Daniel Akers, who was too popular to even learn my name. Now Daniel’s back in town, looking hotter than ever, but I doubt he could ever measure up to my book boyfriends. But then somebody starts slipping mash notes in red envelopes, addressed to me, onto my desk in the library. The things they say make both my body and my brain cells simmer with heat. They make me blush. Who could be leaving me these little love notes? And what am I going to do when I find out who it is? Short, sweet, curvy-girl instalove romance. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA. Part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.
