Sleighed
2018
❄️He ploughed a path straight to her heart…❄️ Zack Maynard likes to keep things simple in his small town: he runs his care home for the elderly, spends his evenings at his brother’s bar and climbs the hills and peaks of his area. His life is going just fine until Severton’s newest resident opens her hotel, steals his builders, complicates his Christmas and makes him crave more than just her baking. Sorrell Slater thought she’d be starting her hotel with a husband; instead she’s in a new town, with a new business and trying to begin a new life as a single woman, and she isn’t entirely sure she can do it. However, Severton isn’t a place that lets anyone struggle on their own, and Zack is more than happy to be her tour guide, making sure that both their Christmases sparkle. As much as she tries to keep him in the friend zone, his persistent charm keeps ploughing through her barriers, right towards her heart. But Severton is a town of secrets, ones that have been buried beneath the caves and peaks of the area. As independent as she’s become, this time Sorrell might just need Zack’s help to escape something deadlier than she thought a small town could hide.

Stirred
2019
Enemies. Foes. Until one night changed them forever. The small town of Severton doesn’t have many secrets. One of the few is exactly why Scott Maynard, bar owner and search and rescue hero, refuses to speak, acknowledge or even breathe the same air as Keren Leigh. Keren has been Severton’s dentist for far too long and now she’s ready to move to the city, escaping the war with Scott and broadening her dating circle in the hope of a future that doesn’t just consist of evenings at home alone with a book, ancient pyjamas and a glass of wine. All it takes is a one-night ceasefire for all of her plans and their decade-long feud to be stirred up. But they’re not the only ones to be shaken: Severton has acquired its own arsonist and other secrets are being exposed, leaving a completely different battle to be fought. Warning: contains alpacas, retired ladies who make their own gin and have an eye for younger gentlemen plus an alternate use for a bath. This steamy small town enemies to lovers romance is part of the Severton Search & Rescue series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Smoldered
2019
“I didn’t find it weird. It wasn’t like kissing a sister or something. I realized that when you were video calling the other night I wasn’t thinking about you like I would do a sister.” “You know why that it?” She stepped towards him. “Because I’m not your sister. Funny that, isn’t it?” He’s been saving her all her life, but can she save her heart from him? Rayah Maynard’s loved her brother’s best friend for pretty much as long as she can remember, which unfortunately is the problem. He still sees her as the kid who he constantly needed to rescue whenever she got into trouble. Jonny Graham has devoted himself to his three children and his career as a firefighter since his wife died when his youngest was just a baby. When his best friend’s sister starts setting him up on dates, he realizes she’s not the fearless kid who hung around with them, but can he trust her to keep herself - and his heart – safe? Rayah wants to prove to Jonny she doesn’t need to be rescued anymore. When an arsonist puts the safety of the small town in jeopardy, she might have to choose – the man she’s loved for years or her town. If she can stay safe enough to make that choice.

Shaken
2020
He can save her life, but can he save her heart as well... Abby Walker arrived in Severton searching for her sister. Two years later, she’s the one being hunted. Life as a cop in a small town shouldn’t include protecting tiny blonde bartenders from big city gangs, but Alex Maynard won’t ever let the bad guys win. The quietest of the Maynard family, he refuses to let anything blur his lines. Except Abby. He knows he’s been her crush for a while, but doing anything about it wouldn’t have felt right, not when he knows she’s keeping a secret that could destroy his career. One hot night and a scorching kiss later, the feelings between them have definitely been shaken. Abby’s life is in danger and Alex has to make a choice - the woman he’s falling for or protecting his small town and his family that lives in it. Contains a hot cop, small town, and some serious suspense. Shaken is part of the Severton Search and Rescue series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Sweetened
2021
Winning will never taste so sweet… Lainey Green has got exactly what she wants—the dream location for her equine therapy centre and a place to settle down and call home. Unfortunately for Jake Maynard, that home is the farm he desperately wanted, and the alpaca owning, farm running, town Romeo isn’t about to be on the welcoming committee for Lainey anytime soon. Irritation turns into rivalry, which morphs into something else entirely. And pretty soon Jake Maynard is well on the way to hanging up his playboy ways for good. Lainey is the only prize he’s interested in winning. Now all he has to do is persuade his feisty, independent neighbour to feel the same about him.
