Our hometown doesn’t give second chances—and neither does Willow Haven. Not even for a charmer like me. As the resident bad boy, I wasn't supposed to fall for the untouchable small town princess. Her mayor daddy sure as hell didn’t want her anywhere near me. And he did everything in his power to scare me away. Loving Willow ruined my life. But ten years is a long time, and now I’m a grown man calling my own shots. I’m back in Havenbrook to open the town’s first bar, but I need Willow’s help. The trouble is, she’s no longer the girl I left behind but a woman with nothing but fire in her eyes. And all that anger is directed straight at me. She can pretend to hate me, but there’s no denying the chemistry that still crackles between us. Despite warnings from Mayor Haven, I’ve got my sights set on more than just the town, and I won’t be so easily scared off again. I might be from the wrong side of the tracks, but I know I’m right for Willow. And this time, I’m not going to let anyone stand in my way.

Aurora "Rory" Haven's life is in shambles. Her ex-husband's living with the woman he cheated with, her oldest daughter blames her for the divorce, and she's broke. To make ends meet, she partners with the too-young, way too hot local contractor she has absolutely no business fantasizing about. Nash King is working overtime so he can take over the family business. He doesn't need the distraction of his best friend's sister, but the hot-as-hell, pearl-clutching divorcée barrels her way into his everyday life. He's managed to ignore his attraction to her for a decade. What's another couple months? The summer heat and forced proximity has tempers flaring…and their chemistry sizzling. But Havenbrook's gossip mill is churning full-force, and the last thing Rory needs is everyone speculating over her crush on a man eight years her junior. Except crushing doesn't have anything on what's really going on… What would happen if the townspeople found out paint wasn't the only thing being stripped?

My best friend’s sister was never mine to crave, but that sure as hell didn’t stop a troublemaker like me. I’ve wanted Rory Haven since high school. It doesn’t matter that I’m eight years her junior or that the feisty single mom is still way out of my league. She’s small town royalty, and the only thing royal about me is my last name. Being forced to work together day in and day out is the best kind of torture. I really should stop pushing her buttons, but I can’t seem to help myself. No matter how hard she tries to hide it, I hear the way her breath catches whenever I get too close. And when I throw down a challenge that I can do what her worthless ex never could, she can’t resist. Our chemistry is undeniable. But brick by brick, she’s determined to keep me out. I know a thing or two about building walls, and hers are as high as they come. Fortunately for us, I’m also good at knocking them down. Rory Haven doesn’t just own my heart—she owns me. Always has, always will. And if she thinks I’m walking away this time, she's about to learn I always fight for what's mine. \This book was originally published as Hometown Troublemaker in 2019 and significantly edited and updated in 2025\

But Nat’s always been too big for this small town, and she’s only back long enough to help me fool everyone. Trouble is, we’re starting to fool ourselves. It was easier faking it with half a world between us. Now that we're playing house by day and sharing a bed every night, it’s impossible to deny how much I want her. And how much I love calling her my wife. Pretending to love Nat is the easiest lie I’ve ever told. Because the truth is I never stopped. The real problem is figuring out how to let her go when it’s all over. \This book was originally published as Small Town Pretender in 2021 and significantly edited and updated in 2025\
