Crush

2016

"It was a beautiful little one-bite story. The simmering tension of their years-long, seemingly unrequited crushes had me breathless. Their love shimmers off the pages!”—USA Today Bestselling Author, Christi Barth This time around something is different. This time, one of them might walk away. Day in and day out, Maggie Barnes has kept her straitlaced and proper shell in place, except for three precious nights every year. Crush, Santa Christa’s grape harvest, is the busiest time of year in her hometown, but it’s only then, when the oh-so-sexy Alejandro comes to her to spend his nights, that she can let down her shield and be her true self. This year she needs him more than ever. Alejandro Garcia wants out of the shadows. It’s well past time to put an end to their long-running secret. If it were any other woman, he never would have let it get this far. But his crush on her from high school never quite went away. He’s never been one to hide, not even from the truth no matter how hard it might be to confront and staying stashed away behind closed doors is no longer an option. What people are saying about the Lakeside Vines series: "Witty, smart, and crackling with sexual tension, BREATHE will warm your heart...and a few other parts as well! A thoroughly satisfying romance.”—Karen Booth, author of the The Eden Empire series

2017

For those of us not ready to give up on fairy tales… Beth Walker moved to Santa Christa to build a new happily-ever-after and do it all on her own. After having her castle pulled out from under her by her cheating ex-husband, she’s more than wary of anyone else coming into her life. But when she finds herself with a severely sprained ankle and storm clouds on the horizon, it might just be time to accept the help of a knight in shining armor. Drew Barnes might look like Prince Charming, but he’s better suited to slaying the dragons of Beth’s past. After coming to Beth’s rescue, Drew doesn’t know why Beth went from hot to cold. Even worse, he doesn’t know why he can’t stop thinking about her. But when a chance encounter brings them back together, the more he comes to learn about her past, and the more he realizes he has to prove. It’s hard for Beth to see past the man who broke her heart. But Drew knows that if she’d only just take the chance, then he’s the one who can heal her. What people are saying about the Lakeside Vines series... "It was a beautiful little one-bite story.

"It was a beautiful little one-bite story. The simmering tension of their years-long, seemingly unrequited crushes had me breathless. Their love shimmers off the pages!”—USA Today Bestselling Author, Christi Barth When what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas… Former Las Vegas showgirl Nicki Hollister has a new job, a new home, and a new life. What she doesn’t have is a new man—and she has no interest in finding one. After a whirlwind affair turned disastrous ten years before, she left happily-ever-afters in the desert dust and never looked back. But when the man who left her high and dry in Sin City suddenly appears in Santa Christa, she finds herself remembering the ways he touched her heart before he broke it and she can’t turn away. British billionaire mogul Simon Grenville has an almost royal pedigree and the enticing accent to match. When his future is threatened by a quickie marriage that should have been over a decade ago, he’s determined to confront the woman who betrayed him. Except he soon finds out everything wasn’t quite as it seemed. And now the only person who can put his life back on track is the one woman he was never supposed to have.
