"Diving Into Love" is the second book in the 'McCallister's Paradise' series. Parker McCallister is the playboy of the family, never having a care in the world beyond his next fling. When Sierra Burns nearly runs him down on horseback, she challenges him in ways he's never experienced. Now all he has to figure out is how to capture this beauty's heart, and this time it is about more than sex and fun for him. Shortly after meeting Parker, disaster strikes for Sierra and her secret troubles are revealed. Now she needs his help in the worst way. The only problem is she wants to earn her place in life and have a chance to be the person she wants to be, not who her rich parents expect of her. Taking charity from Parker or his family would feel like a lie to her convictions, and she doesn't want dating him to be a condition of accepting their help. Despite her hesitations, Parker's charms and charisma are hard to resist. Just when she gives up fighting against the attraction and allows herself to hope for love, his past foists a surprise on the new couple and throws Sierra's life out of balance ... again.

"Lusting For Love" is the sixth book in the 'McCallister's Paradise' series, and a crossover book which starts the exciting, new follow-up series, 'Workers in Paradise'! When opposites attract, the special ‘magic’ of McCallister’s Paradise could be the only hope to teach them about true love. Flirtatious, audacious, fun-loving Janie Davis loves her life on McCallister’s Paradise as a lifeguard. She finally has everything she’s aspired for—a different man every night and one true friend to stick with her no matter what life brings. Larissa McCallister constantly nags her to settle down with one guy, wanting Janie to be as happy as she is. Janie knows her bestie means well, but life has proven that everyone leaves. Having fun with no strings is the safe option. Handsome, kind-hearted Archer Croft landed his dream job and is working as a chef. After a shattering breakup with his ex, he took the plunge and interviewed with McCallister’s Paradise, changing his life in an instant. When he tries to save a drowning child on the beach shortly after moving to the island, his life course once again shifts. The beautiful lifeguard who saves him seems like an angel. While he finds himself attracted to Janie, there’s one problem—her angelic looks hide the truth. She’s exactly the kind of woman he can’t stand, one who thinks nothing of intimacy with multiple men. When a challenge to their fledgling romance strikes, the possibility of trust winning out and them finding a happily ever after seems bleak. The only chance they have is to quit running from their feelings to get over past heartaches. They need to be honest with themselves and each other, but old habits die hard.
