Christmas in Love
2020
A basement flood, a winter storm, and a little holiday magic (okay, maybe a lot) might be just what the doctor prescribed for Natalie and Cade.
Cade hasn't been home for the holidays for three years. Not since the Christmas he planned to propose to Natalie... before she dumped him. This year's Christmas gift? Having to see her again. Surprise!
Natalie is finally settling into a new town. Her bed and breakfast is up and running, she's in charge of the Christmas parade, and she has absolutely zero plans of cozying up to someone special this holiday season. They wouldn't want her anyway. Not with her baggage.
But when Cade shows up at Natalie's B&B, needing a place to stay, the pain of their past begs to be dealt with. Can her secret stay secret? And, more importantly, can her heart stay under lock and key?
Probably not.

Pretending At Love
2022
It's all fun and games until you have to kiss your fake boyfriend.
A random run-in brings old friends April and Jackson back together. A not so random run-in with April's stalker starts a short charade of Jackson posing as April's boyfriend. Just a few minutes of pretending.
At least, that's how it started, until Jackson needs a date for a destination wedding. And who can say no to a free Hawaiian vacation?
But they never expected to be forced to do every single activity together... from yoga on the beach to kissing for the wedding photos. And pretty soon, those lines between fake and real start to get hazy.
The second book in the series, Pretending at Love is a clean romantic comedy with a happily ever after that can be read as a stand alone story.

#3
Objection to Love
2023
One thing is for sure... law school was way easier than love.
September Miller has a ten-year plan for success, and it doesn't include a personal life. So why does it hurt that her colleagues think she's a bore and never invite her anywhere? And, more importantly, why is she enlisting her new next-door neighbor to fix that?
Garrett has barely moved in but somehow he's already caught up in helping his neighbor learn how to have fun. It's selfless of him and has absolutely nothing to do with finding the uptight lawyer attractive.
But maybe agreeing to spend every Saturday together wasn't the best plan for either of them. September's plans can't be abandoned and there's an expiration date on how long Garrett will be around. So what are they supposed to do when more than just Saturdays start to look appealing?
Objection to Love is a sweet romance with plenty of laughs and a happily ever after. It is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone.

Karen Thornell grew up reading when she should have been sleeping, but it wasn't until 2019 that she started writing. Tired of ending books and saying 'goodbye' to beloved characters, she wondered what it would be like to have her own characters that lived in her head always. It was probably a mark of sleep deprivation that she wanted people living in her head, but the idea was planted regardless. Karen lives in Utah with her husband and kids. When not writing contemporary or regency romance, she spends her free time doing endless loads of laundry, playing board games, and, yes, talking to those characters in her head.
