Return To Us

It’s not possible. Did I fall in love with the same guy twice and not know it? Willow… I’ve pretty much sworn off love and men. You would, too, if you had my lousy track record. Before I started college, I fell in love with a sexy Brit. Only he forgot to tell me that he was a lying cheater and married. Got my heart broken good by him. Then I tried marriage. He was a lying cheater as well, and now I’m divorced. That’s proof enough I shouldn’t date men. So imagine my surprise when a gorgeous street musician shows up in front of the bar I own and I’m serenaded ten hours a day by a voice that makes my pulse race. The next thing I know, I’m falling in love with him… Eric… I looked up Willow to make amends to her, and I fell fast and hard for her like I did the first time I met her. The deeper I go with her, the harder it is to explain who I am and why I’m here. This isn’t what I planned. But I can’t shut it down. I don’t want to. Then family tragedy causes me to leave her unexpectedly again. But make no mistake. I’m not letting go of her again… Willow & Eric’s story is a two-book miniseries.

The Last Girl

2018

We were a scandal waiting to happen. But I didn’t care. For years my life had already been an unending downward spiral. Then my grandfather, Jack, gave me an apartment no one knew about. A secret bequest after his death, and the brief note that accompanied the gift sent me running to Italy. I’d gone to Venice to find peace, knowing I was weak, and instead I found him. He was magnificent, brilliant, jaded, and white-hot danger. I was consumed by him as I’ve never been by anything or anyone. Vibrant and unrelenting wakefulness burned inside me when he was near. And he became everything I craved and all I would regret. Letting go of us was inevitable, even as it tormented me to tear us apart.

The Last Guy

2018

Ordinary men are stopped by obstacles. Future kings conquer them. A true statement, and the only issue with that pronouncement was I wasn’t the future king. I was the spare to the spare of the heir and hugely irrelevant. It meant I could do what I wanted, within reason. It meant I could have her, and I wanted that beyond all else. A life with Khloe, removed from the world, where there was only Damon and Khloe loving each other. It didn’t matter that she was ill. It didn’t matter that I was going to lose her not long after we married. I’d already lost my heart to her and needed every minute I could have with her. None of the obstacles mattered…until unexpectedly they did. Until I was no longer the spare to the spare. Until the prospect that Khloe might one day be the Queen of England. All things changed in the blink of an eye. Me. Her. Our future. My family demanded I let her go, even knowing it would destroy me to lose her.

But how could I say no with my entire family watching? I knew it would be a Valentine’s Day to remember. He was the man of my dreams. He made me live them.

American Prince

2019

We're a scandal waiting to happen…again… I never expected my quiet, perfect life with Damon in Wyoming to end as a scandal that could rock even my family. Paparazzi overload, a public shaming on social media, and my deepest secrets—and heartache—trending daily to be read and gossiped about by millions around the globe. It’s a lot for a twenty-four-year-old girl. Worse, it’s nearly impossible to get over a guy when the world won’t shut up about him. So being American royalty—well, of a sort—I did the only thing I could do as Alan and Chrissie Manzone’s daughter. I became a reality TV show. No, I’m not kidding. A taped weekly reality show. Number one in its time slot, thank you. Each week I get to give some lucky guy a chance to win my heart on national TV. Only it won’t ever happen. Because behind the smiles, flirtations, and snappy words, my heart still wants Damon From the author: American Prince is a smoking hot second-chance romance, filled with twists you won’t see coming, as Khloe and Damon fight for their happily-ever-after. And like all Parker Saga books, this romance is filled with the angst, humor, and heat readers expect from the Manzone family.

I never expected to be smack dab in the middle of a dangerous battle between dark global forces and freedom. I never wanted to lose Khloe… But I did all three.
