Swept Away

2025

She needs a job. He needs a muzzle. Neither of them needs this kind of temptation. Bethany I’m back in Oakwhite Bay for the summer, flat broke and desperate, so I’m willing to take any job. Even if it means becoming the glorified babysitter to Spencer Larson-Perry. Ex-Hollywood heartthrob and once the king of teen television dramas, he’s still stupidly handsome and hiding out in his family’s ocean-front house like a scandalized freeloader. He may be thirty, but his charm, attitude and jawline haven’t aged a bit! The job was simple. No kissing. No touching. Definitely no hooking up in the guest house… Or the pool… Or the beach… Or—yeah, you get the idea. Spencer I’m lying low, but I’m not dead. Being under house arrest in this boring small town was already bad enough. But my mother seems to think I need supervision, so she hires Bethany Buckner: snarky, stubborn, and ten years younger with a smile that could short-circuit any man’s brain and curves that keep me way too distracted. She’s supposed to keep me out of trouble. Instead, she becomes it. She’s got plans that don’t include staying in Oakwhite Bay. I’ve got demons that don’t include falling for my assistant. But some temptations are worth breaking the rules for. A sizzling small-town romance full of banter, forbidden heat, and one very inconvenient attraction, Swept Away is perfect for readers who love Melanie Harlow, Devney Perry, K.A. Tucker and Elsie Silver. Author’s note: These books contain explicit scenes and content not suitable for readers under 18 or those with high morals. Reader discretion is advised.

In Too Deep

Oakwhite Bay Book 2

2025

She’s off men. He’s off sex. But when sparks ignite, self-control doesn’t stand a chance. Celia I never planned to come back to Oakwhite Bay. Certainly not separated, broke, and dragging a trailer of regrets. Moving into a fixer-upper with my six-year-old daughter in tow, I’m hoping for a fresh start and a plan for our future. I’m not even officially divorced, so romance is totally out of the question. Which means I definitely shouldn’t be flirting with the neighbor I once babysat, who’s now a gorgeous yoga instructor with a vow of celibacy. But every heated glance, every kindness makes it harder to remember why it’s safer to stay away. I need to be smart. I need to protect my heart. So then why am I finding it impossible to resist him? Hunter I’ve worked hard to channel my emotions into something steady—yoga, discipline, a quieter path. But opening my brewery has stirred up memories I’ve spent years trying to keep buried, and peace is slipping further from my grip. Then, Celia moves in across the street. Still untouchable. Still forbidden. Still all I’ve ever wanted. I long to make her scream my name and give her the pleasure she's been denied, but my past reminds me to protect my heart or else I'll ruin us both. I know better. I should keep my distance. But how can I hold back when she looks at me like I'm all she needs? In Too Deep is a scorching small-town romance full of sharp banter, forbidden age-gap tension, and very unneighborly temptation.
