Part of Series

Fearful of heartbreak, Theresa is drawn to safe, unavailable men. After she flees to Greece to escape becoming her alcoholic mother, she lands her dream job working for the sexy CEO of Helios. So what if she has a little crush on her boss? He's safely married. Theresa's content to worship him from afar until a company shake-up, her boss' divorce, and the arrival of Jason, a cocky adventure racer, topple her carefully constructed walls. Despite their disastrous near-hookup, Jason's smitten by Theresa, but he can't afford to lose his heart to it's clear she carries a torch for her boss. His new boss, who's sponsoring Jason's adventure racing team. And no way is Jason content to come in second. An enemies-to-lovers story at the intersection of Romance and Women's Fiction, Hard Truths features real-world issues beyond simply an immersive, steamy story about a young woman struggling to overcome addiction, a love triangle between a billionaire CEO and a tech-savvy environmental champion as well as family drama and laugh-out-loud moments. Hard Truths is a stand-alone novel in the Helios Series, with a happily ever after (like the others), and will appeal to discerning readers who crave escape but want more depth than a cookie-cutter romance with a "meet cute" on page one and a couple of misunderstandings. It contains on-page sex scenes and profanity.

I write the things I love to read: steamy, fun stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, smart women and men who aren’t jerks. I like to read about friendships, either close women or a good bromance. I want all the feels: the thrill of a smoldering gaze or the barest brush of fingertips, the shocked gasp at the underhanded villain, the angst of heartbreak, the joy of reunion, and of course, happily ever after! I enjoy a sneak peek into intriguing groups, whether that be military personnel, medicine, or another culture like Greece. It’s fun to live vicariously and go sailing, diving, or rock climbing. A bit of danger always gets me going, so many of my Romances have a thriller subplot. I also write thrillers with a slow-burn romantic subplot. I love humor and am partial to witty banter and embarrassing situations! Love is funny sometimes! I hate to read the same old thing, with only the names and places changed, so my goal is to bring you a fresh, fun, NEW story every time, with NO CLIFFHANGERS! More than anything, I want a rollicking, great story that I can’t put down, one where love prevails in the end, one that will whisk me away from my own tribulations.
