A Lot Like Family

2020

He takes “strong silent type” to the extreme. She’s determined to rattle him. And when she does, sparks fly. Former SEAL Hudson Rafferty is fine being alone with his nightmares and what’s left of his soul. He’s not fine with Ember Nixon calling dibs on the space in downtown Superstition Springs that he’d earmarked for his new restaurant. She’s the one woman he can’t ignore, the one woman who pushes past his carefully constructed boundaries—and the one woman who seems to get him. Ember left Superstition Springs at seventeen, pregnant and disgraced. She never dreamed she be back with a special-needs seven-year-old in tow. Or that Aunt Serenity’s love prediction would say a partnership with Hudson Rafferty is the only way she’ll get the empty space she wants for her new business enterprise. The enigmatic SEAL doesn’t even acknowledge that she exists no matter how much she flirts with him. How can they possibly be partners? Or maybe a better question is—how did this partnership blossom into a budding romance that can never survive Hudson’s biggest dealbreaker?

A Lot Like Hope

2020

Destiny or not, she'll take him any way she can get him... Former SEAL Rowe Hardy deserves every last bad thing that happened to him on that final mission, especially the scars on his face. After all, it’s his fault that he and the other guys on his team were kicked out of the Navy. Losing his hearing is his penance, same as being single forever. No woman would be interested in a half-deaf beast anyway. Especially not the beautiful new doctor in town…the one he can’t stop dreaming about. He needs to focus on helping his brother, the mayor, save Superstition Springs from the development company determined to build a shopping center on top of the town. Dr. India Kingston didn’t get the memo that Rowe is supposed to be repulsive. Her secret crush on the reclusive handyman is only heightened by his obvious scars—physical and emotional. But she fled big city medicine in favor of Superstition Springs where she hopes to reclaim lost pieces of herself after ending a bad relationship. Love should be the last thing on her mind. Until Serenity Force throws a love prediction into the mix, matching her with Rowe. How can he be her destiny when he’s made it oh-so-clear he’s not interested in her? Beauty and the Beast is a fairy tale. Not reality. Unless you’re in Superstition Springs.

A Lot Like Forever

2022

The best Destiny can do is a fake relationship with her swoon-worthy bodyguard? Calypso Elliot creates chaos wherever she goes, a hurricane in a handbasket who came to Superstition Springs to restart her life, not attract the attention of a stalker. The last thing she expects is for Garrison Rockwell to jump at the chance to play her fake boyfriend-slash-bodyguard. He attends to her every need. Takes care of her and her problems. It’s so…sexy. Ex-Navy vet Garrison Rockwell likes everything in its place and structures his life in this tiny Texas town to ensure it stays that way. It makes no sense why he’d be so intensely attracted to a hot mess like Calypso Elliot. They’re totally incompatible. But faking things is so much fun, it’s easy to forget. Except Calypso is the opposite of a woman Garrison can build a normal, non-chaotic life with. She’s not so sure he can handle a woman like her long term, either. There’s no way this can last forever…even if they fall for each other.
