Best of Me
2024
Gabriel Rhodes
My family's roots run deep, and my responsibilities are clear. My family and our business–Rhodes Hotel. As a father first, I've always put my daughter above everything, living in a carefully maintained world close to my ex-wife, ensuring my little girl grows up in a peaceful environment.
I never expected to fall in love again and find the kind of passion I did with Aurora. Falling for her was easy, but when I introduced her to my daughter, it destroyed the delicate balance of my life. And it forced me to make regrettable choices that hurt the only woman I have ever really loved.
Aurora Turner
I have lived my whole life not being important to anyone. Not my parents, not the aunt I took care of, and certainly not my first boyfriend who failed to deliver on his promise of commitment. Meeting Gabriel was unexpected, a whirlwind that promised the type of family I always craved.
As an architect, I'm used to creating spaces where people feel at home, yet finding my own place in Gabriel's world proves to be my biggest challenge. His dedication to his daughter is admirable, and I love that about him. But when it becomes that his daughter will do anything to bring her parents back together—I know our time is up.
Just when I’m starting to try and heal from the wound he delivered, Gabriel comes back. He says he still loves me and knows I feel the same way. But how can I believe this time will be any different?
Best Of Me is a billionaire single-father, second-chance, found-family romance with a meddling ex-wife, enough angst to require a box of tissues, and plenty of steam that may make a fan necessary. It is a complete standalone.

Never the Best
2025
She was never just a bet. She was always the best.
I’m Rhett Vanderbilt, and it’s time to make things right.
When I was seventeen, I made a terrible mistake. What started as a reckless, heartless bet spiraled into something far worse. Pearl Beaumont was awkward, sweet, and hopelessly trusting—and I took advantage of every bit of it. By the time I was done, I’d left her with a broken heart and a ruined reputation. She left Savannah not long after, and now, fifteen years later, she’s back. A lot has changed. I’m not the same selfish kid I once was. I'm determined to right my wrongs.
What I don’t expect is to find myself working alongside Pearl—or to see the woman she’s become. Confident, driven, and completely uninterested in my apologies—or me. She’s nothing like the girl I once knew. Somehow, we manage to rebuild a fragile friendship; and the more time I spend with her, the more I find myself drawn to her. But then my fiancée decides to dig up the past, dragging Pearl’s name through the mud all over again. It’s then that I finally understand the depth of the pain I caused—the toll it took on this kind, remarkable woman.
Ending my engagement is the easy part. Proving to Pearl that she was always the one? Earning her trust? That’s going to be the fight of my life.

So, she left me—walked away from our marriage, our home, and the life we built. And the worst part? Our children stood by her. They didn’t just help her pack; they told me I deserved this, that I lost her and their respect.
At first, I tell myself she just needs time. That she’ll come home. But as days pass, I see the truth. Lia isn’t waiting for me to fix things. She’s building a new life—one where she isn’t my wife first and herself second.
