Porter the Importer

2019

Is it possible to meet the love of your life in a liquor store? Molly assumes the bossy, muscular (gorgeous) man is a rude stock boy until he hands her his business card. Porter imports fine wine, and Molly sells fine… other things… in her very naughty boutique. A match made in heaven? Meet the Drummonds in this 2-hour prequel novella. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger. But only read it if you’re mature enough to handle it. Steam level: Adult.

Make Believe

2018

After a tragedy nearly ruins her, Lily Drummond moves to Indiana to make a new start for herself. Once she is settled into the lovely bungalow she found on Craigslist, she heads to the dog park where she meets tall, ridiculously handsome Finn Reilly. Their chemistry is combustible. Finn commits to repairing Lily's broken heart, but it's not all that easy. There is a matter of Lily's roommate and her strange behavior. Just how far will she go to ruin everything? \Warning\: possible triggers, bad language, and hot, steamy, sexy scenes. There is plenty of suspense, humor, and romance, but how much is real, and how much is make-believe? Make Believe is Book One in The Drummonds two-book series. It is not a cliffhanger and has a guaranteed HEA, but the family's story continues with Book Two, The Designer. Both are stand-alone novels that are more fun when they're read in order. Intended for readers over 18.

The Artist

2019

This book was originally titled The Designer by Ariella Talix. Incredibly talented Amelia Hernandez travels to Paris after winning an award. But when she arrives to work at a famous couture house, Amelia suspects that she may possibly be the prize for someone else. Amelia's boyfriend David Drummond is busy with his own burgeoning career, but he cannot stay away from his Amelia for long. Time will tell whether David's poor history with women will repeat itself. In a story that will pull on your heartstrings, David also discovers truths about his family he never imagined. Set in the city of great art, sensuality and fantastic beauty, their journey will expose them to many delights as well as awful treachery. This novel is a stand-alone, but many references back to Make Believe: The Drummonds Book One will make you wish you'd read Make Believe first. Warning! Explicit scenes are appropriate for mature readers only. There is a brief MMF scene, so if that bothers you, please read something else.
