Never Fall for Your Back-Up Guy
2020
Three things I’ve learned this week:
1) Never fall for a client
2) Never fall for your best friend
3) And most importantly, never fall for your back-up guy
…especially if they’re all the same person.
Zara Huntington Ross wants to get married. She’s had more dating disasters than you can poke a long-stemmed red rose at. On a dare, she agrees to a pact with her best friend, Asher McMillan: if neither of them are married by the time she turns thirty-five, they’ll get hitched. That’s five full years of searching for The One. Surely she’ll meet Mr. Right by then?
The problem is she doesn’t know Asher quite as well as she thinks. Taking a job redecorating his bachelor pad, Zara learns he has hidden depths—depths that tug at her heartstrings. Hard.
And then disaster strikes. She begins to fall for him, the guy who doesn’t do relationships. It’s getting complicated, and Zara doesn’t need complicated.
But could her back-up guy be The One after all?
Never Fall for the Back-Up Guy is the first book in the It’s Complicated series and can easily be read as a standalone novel. It is a spin-off of the Love Manor romantic comedy series. Catch up with all your favorite Love Manor characters and meet some new ones in this fun, laugh-out-loud rom com with a smart and sassy British heroine and a swoon-worthy American hero.

Never Fall for Your Enemy
2021
Three things I know for sure:
1) I hate Charles Cavendish.
2) I hate Charles Cavendish.
3) Oh, and did I mention I hate Charles Cavendish?
Rich. Over-privileged. Smug. The guy’s far too good looking for his own good, and he’s always got that smirk teasing at the edges of his mouth, telling me what he thinks of me.
And now, my worst nightmare has come true.
Charles Cavendish has moved into my building which means I can’t avoid seeing him everywhere I go. He’s always there, judging me, especially when I come in late at night. Hey, I can’t help it if my “single American girl in London” writing gig means I’ve got to check out every new club in town. Charles is so tightly wound he goes to work before the birds have chirped their first good morning.
He needs to loosen up. Live a little. Actually, I don’t care what he does, just as long as he does it nowhere near me. Because I hate him with the heat of a thousand suns. And I always will.
Only now I’m stuck in an elevator with him.
On Christmas Eve.
Alone.
What’s the worst that could happen?
Never Fall for Your Enemy (especially not at Christmas) is a clean, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with a smart and sassy American heroine and a swoon-worthy British hero. It’s the second book in the It’s Complicated series and can easily be read as a standalone novel. It is a spin-off of the Love Manor romantic comedy series.

Never Fall for Your Fake Fiancé (Especially not on Valentine's Day)
2022
One thing I’ve learned this Valentine’s day is that fake fiancés should remain just that: fake.
Pretending to be engaged to James Brody, the hot, single London deputy mayor who graces gossip columns, is just a business deal. Nothing more. I’m his appropriately demure fiancée that makes him look like he’s not the playboy the media thinks he is, and he’s my ticket to getting my pushy mum off my back about not being married and producing her two perfect grandchildren.
What’s more, while we’re pretending to be engaged, I can spend all my time trying to capture the real prince in my fairy tale. The guy I’ve been in love with forever.
The problem is, I’ve started to enjoy being with James on our fake dates and public appearances. And, if I’m being totally honest, with his tall, dark, and handsome looks, he’s pretty easy on the eye, too.
And then there’s that kiss we shared that took my breath away. Yeah, that.
Sure, I know it was for an audience. I know I shouldn’t read anything into it. I know he’s kissed more girls than I’ve had trips on the Tube. But the heat in that kiss can’t be fake.
The problem is, I want the fairy tale, the Hallmark movie, the real thing. And I know James Brody isn’t the real thing.
Nope. This is a business deal.
Only the deeper I get, the more I realize someone forgot to tell my heart that.
Never Fall for Your Fake Fiancé is a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy rom com with a fake relationship, a totally swoony guy, and romance. As with all the books in the It’s Complicated series, this is a closed-door romance with some incredible kissing and all the feels. It is a full-length novel and can be read as a standalone story.

Never Fall for Your One that Got Away
2022
If life gives you a second chance with the one that got away, should you take it?
Noah Grant was my first. He was the guy who went from childhood friend to teenage love. The guy I spent one heady, intoxicating summer with, only to have my heart snapped in two—not by him, but by me.
Fast forward twelve years and just when I think I’m finally over Noah, he’s back. Older, wiser, hotter.
Definitely hotter.
Work throws us together, and there’s no avoiding him, even if I wanted to. And I don’t want to avoid him, although I know I should.
But Noah’s hiding something. And if I let myself get close, could his secret break my heart all over again?
Never Fall for Your One that Got Away is a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy rom com with a second-chance-love, a totally swoony guy, and sweet romance. As with all the books in the It’s Complicated series, this is a closed-door romance with some incredible kissing and all the feels. It is a full-length novel and can be read as a standalone story.
