Back to You
2019
Biggest mistake I’ve ever made? Kissing my best friend.
I’ve never been a relationship guy. Sure, I have Ellie—my best friend since middle school who’s been by my side through the good and the very bad—but with girls who aren’t Ellie? One date is enough.
Then when I get back from boot camp, one kiss changes everything. But also, nothing’s changed. Ellie still wants to settle down with a picket fence and kids, and she knows I don’t.
And now there’s heat when she looks at me in my new uniform. It makes me wonder if I didn’t want that kind of life, or if I didn’t want it with anyone but her.
But I’ve made one mistake after another with Ellie, so now I have to convince her that it’s okay to want me too.

Christmas with You
2021
A Marine does desperate things when he’s faced with a matchmaking, guilt-tripping grandmother.
Most men probably wouldn’t invent a fake girlfriend to keep their family off their backs. But I’m married to the military, and I’m more than happy with my relationship status—no holiday gift-giving pressure here.
But when I find out my grandmother is traveling cross-country to meet the special lady in my life, I need to find a real fake girlfriend. Fast. One bungled attempt later, I find myself talking to Angie Black. Best friend to my best friend’s wife.
After hearing about my desperate search for a Christmas date, she agrees to do it—but why? It’s no secret she doesn’t like me. She doesn’t laugh at my jokes and avoids me like I have a live grenade in my pocket whenever we’re together.
Blindly relieved, I don’t question it. Until her little touches begin to set off fireworks in my belly and her glances linger in unexplainable ways.
My grandmother says we have great chemistry, but it’s probably just the eggnog talking. Because what Angie and I have is about as real as Santa Claus. Right?

Believing in You
2020
Dating online should come with a warning.
This is my last deployment before I get out and become a civilian contractor in Texas. I’m already there in my mind. That’s why I changed the hometown on my online dating profile. Fresh start in a new city. I liked how it sounded.
When cute kindergarten teacher, Ivy, slides into my inbox, we hit it off right away. We flirt like two people who have nothing to lose. I show her all the sides of me and she seems to like them. I like her too. And I can’t wait to return stateside so we can explore this connection in real life.
But.
It’s like stepping off the edge of the world when I find out my Ivy is also my best friend’s little sister. When I try to break it off, I just can’t do it. So I don’t.
And now I have a decision to make. Step things up with a woman who could be ‘the one’ and risk alienating myself from my fellow Marines, or, end it and know that while it’s the right thing to do, I’d be saying goodbye to a future that looked a lot brighter with her in it…

Memories of You
2020
A mind might forget but a soul remembers everything…
When you get married, you make so many vows.
For better or for worse. I’m a Marine with a wicked scar from the 50-cal round that almost took me out, so check that box.
For richer or for poorer. We’ve been together forever, me and Cat, so check that one too.
In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part.
If I’d known the sickness part had the power to do us in, I would have laid down some prep work. I would have come home earlier and stayed up later, spending hours memorizing her laugh and tracing the patterns of her curves.
The car accident might have taken my wife’s memories but she’s alive and she’s physically whole. The fact that she thinks we’re broken up from a fight we had ten years ago means I have a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time.
But how do you convince someone they love you as much as you love them? How do you expect them to honor the vows you remember making but they don’t? And to what lengths would you go to try?

Home with You
2020
My dream girl is my kid’s favorite teacher, making her off-limits. But my eight-year-old son isn’t taking ‘no’ for an answer.
When I got my orders to San Diego, I knew it would be a fresh start for me and my son. Our old town held so many memories of what happened years ago when we lost his mom. My wife.
The water, sand, and sun sounded like the perfect distraction for us both.
And I was right. Because soon after arriving, I met a spunky, free-spirited stunner and we shared a heart-stopping kiss with the roar of the ocean in the background. Yeah, our new life in San Diego was off to a good start.
That is, until I discovered that the same woman who reminded me how amazing it felt to be wanted again was none other than the PE teacher Finn won’t stop talking about.
How was I supposed to know? He calls her Ms. Peters and I call her Rachel. And now I’m not going to call her at all, because her number one rule is that she won’t date a student’s dad.
But Miramar is a small base. Running into Rachel at every corner makes me think some outside force wants us to get together. And I have a nagging suspicion that the force is about four-feet-tall with a never-say-die attitude.
And I can’t help but think he might be onto something.

Adored by You

Ten years later, can I finally get my second chance with the one that got away?
I was eighteen when Paige Walker marched out of my life and straight onto the set of what would become one of the country’s longest running medical dramas. She was made for the screen, and I had no hope of pinning her down.
Back then, I had plans of my own, and they didn’t include moving to LA while she chased her Hollywood dreams.
But now I’m a Marine stationed in California, and in some happy twist of fate, this mega celebrity needs something from me. And I’m happy to help, especially if it means having her on my arm again, even if only for one night.
And then something shifts, and I don’t want it to end when the favor does.
Being reunited after all these years ignites the old torch I’ve been carrying, and I won’t let her walk away from me a second time. Not without a fight.
