Clashing Hearts
2020
EASTON There is nothing I hate more than when some big-city outsider stirs trouble in my peaceful little town. When Mr. Arrogance himself waltzes in and thinks he can slap a price tag on my land, he doesn’t know what he has coming. I’m not just a hick cowboy who’s going to bend to his good looks and charmless personality. No, sir. I don’t care how smart he looks in his fancy suits, all he cares about is money. I just wish I’d known who he was before I kissed him. LACHLAN The last thing I wanted was to get stuck in a small town with a plethora of quirky people. If the stubborn cowboy doesn’t see sense soon, I don’t know what I’ll do. Failure is not an option. I was sent to make a deal, and I’m not leaving until it’s done. I don’t care how hot he looks in his low hanging denim, boots, and hat, he wouldn’t see a good opportunity if it smacked him in the face. I just wish I could get the taste of him off my tongue. City and country collide in this enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract, low-angst MM romance novel.

Confused Hearts
2020
Knox Let me get one thing straight. I am not in love with my best friend. My heart isn’t broken, and there is no he who’s going to swoop in and magically make it all better. Whatever that crazy psychic says, it’s not true! I’m Knox MacKenzie, and I’m straight as an arrow. I like girls—even though they don’t always like me back. If my heart beats a little faster and my tummy gets a bit wobbly when the local bartender sets his fascinating eyes on me, it’s no one’s business but my own. Lucky Unrequited love might suck, but it brought the loneliest man in small-town Jasper to my brewery. Knox has no idea how transparent he is—even when the batty old psychic tells him the truth to his face. But Knox is convinced he’s straight. He’s convinced she’s confused. Well, I’m convinced those looks we share mean more. What Knox needs is a friend to help him forget his broken heart and figure out who he truly is.

Forgetful Hearts
2020
Why can't Shay remember when his nemesis became his lover? Shay would never associate with Josiah. Not only is he his brother’s ex-best friend, but he’s arrogant, cocky, and rude. When Josiah claims they’re dating and that Shay forgave him for his past transgressions, Shay is convinced he’s lying. Except, since the accident that left him with no memory, Shay isn’t sure of anything. The last six months are a black hole in his mind. What’s worse, Shay is convinced that whatever happened to him wasn’t an accident at all. But the only person who believes him is Josiah. Perhaps together, they can figure out the truth. Maybe retracing their steps will shake loose those missing pieces. Can Shay put trust in the man he swore to hate? Will regaining those memories be good or bad? What if the truth was written on his heart the whole time? Forgetful Hearts is a low angst MM romance novel with amnesia, age gap, enemies-to-lovers, and brother's ex-best friend tropes. It is part of the Hometown Jasper Series but can be read as a standalone.

Two closeted men in one rumor-hungry small town have no chance of keeping their love a secret. Chief of Police Windsor Elkhart is a master deceiver. Not a single person in Jasper has a clue he’s gay, which explains the endless suitors all vying for his attention. Happily married to his job, he’s convinced life is good enough. Twenty years of abstinence is the price he chose to pay, all because of a secret he’s too ashamed to reveal. Until Tomi Lee returns to town after a two-decade-long absence. Shame and self-loathing have kept Tomi away from his home town, but can a simple message from a lonely police officer bring him back for good? The people of Jasper prey on gossip. Everyone is watching everyone. No one is exempt. Falling in love is easy, but do two closeted men have any hope of building a sustainable relationship when they’re always trying to hide?
