Loving the Boss
2019
It could be her fresh start. If only she can avoid falling for her new boss... I'm in desperate need of a new beginning. Preferably one that's far, far away from my cheating ex. So when I get a job offer in a luxury resort on a remote tropical island, I don't hesitate for a second. The idea of being surrounded by deep waters might terrorize me, but this adventure will be exactly what I need—a fresh start and a chance at a heartache-free life. The only unexpected snag in my bold plan? My new, grumpy (and oh-so-handsome) boss. Matteo firmly believes women complicate life. I know that trusting a man with my heart again can easily hurt me. So keeping things simply business between us should be fairly easy. Except...it isn't. Loving the Boss is a sweet contemporary boss/employee romance with lots of heart-pounding and toe-curling kisses. It's book one in Gems of Love series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Previously published as Pearl of Love.

Gambling with the Billionaire
2019
Love was never on the menu… Billionaire Ryan O’Connor learned the hard way that letting emotion prevail over reason can be devastating. So he refuses to let something as frivolous as nostalgia keep him from dismantling the restaurant in his hometown. It’s just business, after all. Or it was just business…until he met the restaurant’s quirky and annoyingly adorable manager. Suddenly keeping emotion out of his business dealings is more complicated than he ever could’ve imagined. Bianca has no trouble trusting her emotions. Following her heart helped her turn a struggling taverna into the coolest hotspot in town. And eventually, she’s sure she’ll be able to realize her dream of organizing a jazz festival that would help revitalize the city—all with her lovely little restaurant at the heart of the action. Now all she has to do is keep the grumpy (and entirely too attractive) corporate shark from tearing the place apart. Somewhere between passion and reason, can these polar opposites find common ground…and love? Or will Ryan and Bianca decide that a shot at happily ever after just isn’t worth the gamble? If you love quirky heroines, grumpy yet swoon-worthy heroes and soul-stirring kisses than you'll love this opposite attracts, small-town billionaire romance. Gambling with the Billionaire is the second book in the Gems of Love series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Fake-dating the Single Dad
2019
It was the perfect plan. Until the fake feeling turned all too real… All I ever wanted was a teaching job at the prestigious Riversmith school, but getting them to even consider my application is a challenge. Then I find out that Nick, a famous writer and gorgeous single dad, has connections there—and that he's willing to use them in exchange for one tiny little favor. All I've got to do is to be Nick's fake girlfriend for a few weeks... and somehow pretend I'm not at all attracted to him. If it all works out, Nick will prove to the judge who decides his son's custody case that he's a solid family man, and I'll have my ticket to my dream job. The plan was flawless. Too bad it never included what to do when the lines between reality and fantasy blur...and a fake relationship feels all too real. If you love clean and wholesome fake relationship romances with toe-curling chemistry, then you'll adore Fake-dating the Single Dad. It is the third book in the Gems of Love series. Each story is a standalone, with the perks of meeting recurring characters throughout the books.

Saving the Brother's Best Friend
2019
It was just a simple favor between friends. Until it wasn’t… I’ve loved Gabriel for as long as I can remember. To him, I’m just his best friend’s little sister. So when Gabriel asks me to be his fake girlfriend during a trip to his über-rich French grandmother’s estate—where Gabriel’s cousin is about to get engaged to Gabriel’s ex—, I know I’ve got to say no. First, I don’t want to be Gabriel’s means of getting back at his snobbish ex-girlfriend. Plus, a make-believe relationship with him is risky, and it will almost certainly lead me to heartbreak. Still, I’m not able to turn Gabriel down in his moment of need. (His pleading grey eyes make me absolutely powerless, darn it.) So now I have to figure out how to guard my heart against the one man I want to give it to the most, all the while I pretend to be his. But it can’t be that hard, can it? Saving the Brother's Best Friend is a clean and wholesome friends-to-lovers romance. If you love spunky heroines, sweet heroes, and bone-tingling kisses, then you'll love this fourth book in the Gems of Love series. Each story is a standalone, with the perks of meeting recurring characters throughout the books.

Falling for the Undercover Agent
2020
She was just a job. Until she wasn’t. If one thing is drilled into any newbie private investigator, then it’s the need to maintain a firm line between business and pleasure. I perfectly agree with this sensible rule, too. At least I did until I met my first field assignment—the fiery and entirely too intriguing Ruby. Sleuthing her was supposed to be only a job for me. One that would show my uncle (and boss) that I was a skilled detective who didn’t have to stay at some dusty desk in our office. Yet, the more time I spend with Ruby, the more trouble I have remembering where that essential line lies. And why crossing it would be such a bad idea… Falling for the Undercover Agent is a clean and wholesome fake identity romance. If you love flawed but loveable characters and swoony kisses, then you'll adore this fifth book in the Gems of Love series. Each story is a standalone, with the perks of meeting recurring characters throughout the books.
