“I didn't believe in ghosts. Until I met him.” As a horror novelist, Ben makes a living telling scary stories. However, he's struggling in his career and fears he's lost his touch. Not only is there a disconnect in his writing, but in his personal life as well. After his relationship goes south, he decides to start over and moves to Ivy Grove, a small town with a lot of history. He hopes the quaint town and beautiful Victorian manor he moved into will spark inspiration and help him fall back in love with writing. And then strange things start happening. Creaks in the hall, shadows from the corner of his eye, and the sense that he's being watched. Ben soon learns that the manor has a dark past, and within the morbid history, he discovers a century old mystery. Who is Theo Blackwell? And what happened to him all those years ago? As Ben begins to unravel the truth, he finds himself not only falling in love with writing again, but also falling for the stunning young man who haunts his manor. \The Ghost of Ellwood is a paranormal m/m romance. You'll find mystery, a somewhat grumpy writer, a sassy ghost, and of course a HEA.\

The Haunting of Lockton

2024

Ivy Grove was a ghost hunter gold mine. At least, that’s what Skyler and his twin brother believe when traveling to the sleepy little town for their ghost hunting web series. Their goal? Investigate the notoriously haunted Lockton Asylum. Paxton doesn’t like people. Well, living ones. His ghost best friend—and housemate—is the only one he lets down his guard with. Working as a guide at Ivy Grove Ghost Tours is the extent of his socializing, and he likes it that way. When he’s assigned to be the tour guide for the Knox Brothers, twins with a popular ghost hunting show, his quiet life gets a bit… well, complicated. The reason? Skyler freaking Knox and his dumb, ridiculously pretty face. And his rock-hard abs. Lockton Asylum, with its dark history and tragic past, brings Skyler and Paxton together in unexpected ways. The simple investigation becomes much more involved—and dangerous—when they begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding the asylum... and when they encounter the dark entities that dwell within the walls. Romance, vengeful ghosts, and… donuts with sprinkles? Who said love couldn’t have all three? For this ghost hunter and tour guide, this is one investigation neither will ever forget. The Haunting of Lockton is Book 3 in the Ivy Grove series with opposites attract, an introvert with a love for old Victorian costumes, a charming goofball with a killer smile, a lot of donuts and coffee, sarcasm, ghosts, and a mystery that will keep you guessing. And maybe with a bit of spice sprinkled on top.
