#1
His Guiding Light
2024
Sometimes it takes losing everything to find the one thing that matters most.
Maxwell
When you’ve lost the two most important people in your life, you realize you need to stick to the safe things: your lighthouse and your solitude. While there have been times I’ve longed for companionship, the men in my past haven’t cared for the unsettled part of me that lurks within. I think I’m broken.
They say that after a storm comes a rainbow, but when it also washes a lifeless body onto my beach, the course of my life swiftly alters, bringing renewed hope with it.
Jaxon
When you wake up in an unfamiliar room, with no recollection of the past, you’re determined to help the man who rescued you. Max is reluctant to share his past with me, but it’s clear there’s a sadness about him. The longer I struggle with my amnesia, the easier it becomes to focus on the present and the feelings that grow deeper each day.
I just hope my old memories don’t destroy the safe harbour I’ve found here.
His Guiding Light is the first book in the Hope Harbour Series. This kinky, age gap romance features a lonely, demisexual lighthouse keeper and an amnesiac photographer who find love after loss in a small town by the sea.

#2
After the Flames
2024
Sometimes all you need to rise from the ashes is a little bit of hope.
Gage
While my entire life has been an endless string of mistakes and misfortune, burning down my bar—my livelihood—is definitely the worst and dumbest to date.
Okay, so I didn’t literally burn it down, but sticking my head in the sand and refusing to ask for help certainly didn’t keep this latest disaster away.
A stranger arrives in Hope just as I finally start rebuilding my life. His sweet innocence catches my eye from day one, stirring feelings I haven’t felt in, well, ever.
And even though he’s just a kid and I’m a hot mess bartender with nothing to offer, I won’t let that stand in my way. I flash him some of my trademark charm because, honestly, who wouldn’t want all this?
Ash
I’ve spent most of my life being mistreated by my mom and her partner. The final straw came when she refused my help yet again. I knew that if I didn’t leave right then, I'd end up just like her. The only solution I had was to leave my hometown to make a life for myself where nobody knew who I was. Sure, it meant leaving behind people I cared about, but I no longer had a choice.
One wrong turn later, I found myself in a quaint town called Hope Harbour, which housed a lighthouse, small-town gossips… and the biggest, most beautiful Greek god known to man.
All it took was one look at him for me to start questioning everything I’d ever thought about myself.
I know I’m just a broken kid from a small town, but maybe it’s time to start over with the charming bartender and see if we can’t set Hope on fire.
After the Flames is the second book in the Hope Harbour series. While it’s best enjoyed after His Guiding Light, it can be read as a standalone.
