Kissing Beck Thomas

2023

What harm can come from a little kiss contest? A lot… apparently. Vivien Mays is in love with her best friend, but she’d rather die than tell him. Enter her sister, Lorelai, with a crazy plan to test the waters with a social media challenge sure to get Ezra Thomas’s attention—a kiss challenge. Vivien finally gives in to her sister’s insane idea and kisses her best friend, but in a moment of mistaken identity, she kisses his twin brother instead… her lifelong nemesis. Beck Thomas watches his dreams go up in smoke when an injury ends his hockey career. The grumpy pessimist wants to be left alone, but when his brother’s annoying best friend accidentally kisses him, it sparks an interest he didn’t know he had. Despite Vivien’s freak-out when she realizes the truth, Beck can’t help but wonder if there’s something more to the kiss, and he’s willing to work to find out. When the opportunity to spend more time together arises, Beck seizes the chance to prove to Vivien that they can not only get along but they might be perfect for each other. Vivien, on the other hand, is pretty sure she won’t survive two weeks pretending to like Beck. \\\*Kissing Beck Thomas is an enemies to lovers, sweet new adult romance with swoony kisses, everyday faith in action, and a side of comedy.”

Road Trip with Lev Thomas

2024

Getting dropped on the side of the road by her ex-boyfriend was not part of her holiday plans. Emma Nadine has a type, and it’s the bad-for-you bad boy in a leather jacket. Only this time, her affinity for the unreformed lands her on the side of the interstate… literally. When an argument with her ex on their drive home prompts him to kick her out of his car, Emma is forced to make it home on her own. She’s less than excited for Christmas with her family, especially since they were right about her taste in men. Lev Thomas can’t wait to get back home to Coldstone Creek, where he will spend a few weeks relaxing with his large family. With nine brothers, things are never quiet in the Thomas household, but after years spent away at college, Lev misses them too much to care. When Lev has a chance encounter with his high school crush, Emma, he offers her a ride back to their hometown. It’s only a matter of miles before he realizes she needs more than a ride home... she’s desperate for a friend. Road Trip with Lev Thomas is a second-chance, close proximity, sweet new adult romance with swoony kisses, everyday faith in action, and a side of comedy.

M. J. Padgett is first and foremost a mom. Her free-spirited daughter has quite the vivid imagination, and her antics sometimes find their way into her mommy’s work. She is a lover of all things chocolate, a Grimm and Dickens addict, a self-proclaimed smarty-pants, and an introvert to the core. Writing is her true passion (after raising her daughter, of course), and she writes as often as possible. One of her favorite things about writing is creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while, maybe even walk away feeling hopeful about the real world around them. When it comes to reading, she loves a book that can make her forget where she is no matter the genre. If she can get lost and feel like the characters are her real friends, she’s a happy reader.
