He wanted a distraction. She gave him a reason to feel again. Tony Avitia-Chavez thought he had buried his feelings for the woman who walked away without looking back. Hardened by heartbreak and haunted by regrets, he’s spent years hiding behind work, whiskey, and well-rehearsed indifference. When he meets Soledad Britton, he tells himself it’s just one night. A distraction. Something—anything—to forget the past. But Soledad isn’t a woman you forget. What starts as a fleeting connection quickly deepens, pulling Tony into something real—something he never believed he deserved. Soledad challenges him to stop looking backward and start showing up for what’s right in front of him. But when the shadows of his past threaten to unravel everything, Soledad refuses to compete and walks away. Now Tony has a stay stuck in a memory that was never his to keep—or fight for the woman who might just be everything he never knew he needed. *Contemporary Romance BWWM Interracial HEA*

The characters I write will not be perfect. None of us are. They will make mistakes. All of the hero's will have redeeming qualities, but on the outset, you may not be their biggest fan. My heroine's will be the kind of women you want to hang out with. They're the women next door, down the street and around the corner. They are the ladies you would want to spend time with on a Saturday night drinking a martini. I have been an avid reader of romance novels since the age of 14 and know what appeals to me as reader. My goal is, and will always be, to provide that same experience for the women and men who read my novellas and short stories. I’m a former Marine and served for 8 years, so strong military men will always be a favorite topic of mine. I will continue to write stories with military heroes’ front and center. I’m also a fan of Alpha-males and strong women who love with everything they have.
