Tristan

2019

Teaching at a troubled small town high school might not be anyone's idea of a great plan. But after college, I was ready to leave my sheltered surroundings and do something meaningful. I know what people say about this place but my parents grew up here. My family still has deep roots. And I belong in this town no matter how much Tristan Mulligan tries to scare me off. Speaking of Tristan, that guy sure knows how to get under my skin. He’s arrogant and condescending and insanely sexy. He’s also a criminal. If I had any sense, I’d be running FAR away from Tristan and his bad attitude. Tristan is the type who can make a girl sorry she ever met him. But somehow I don’t care. I'm taking a risk, but there’s a rough charm and a deep sincerity to him that no one else sees. And whether I’m ready to admit it or not, I’m already his… \\Banter, small town drama and spicy times in this grumpy sunshine romance. May be read as a stand alone.\\

Jedson

2019

"This was all nuts. The way I wanted him. The ways we knew each other. And the ways we didn't..." LEAH When I was too young to know any better Ryan Jedson fascinated me. After he went on the run I thought I'd never see him again. I was wrong. Now that he's back in town I realize it's a bad idea to catch his eye. And yet I can't help it. Sometimes you want the one you shouldn't want. But there's a complication. He has no idea that I'm the reason his life fell apart. And I don't know what he'll do if he ever finds out. RYAN Back in the day when we were neighbors she was too young, not even worth a second look. However, six years have gone by and now Leah Brandeis is fair game. I see how she looks at me. I understand she thinks her secret is safe. And I'm playing along. For now. But soon the truth will come out and there will be hell to pay. Because I know what she did. I've always known. \\Stand alone. Enemies-to-lovers. Tons of angst, secrets and steamy vengeance.\\

Landon

2021

RELEASING APRIL 22nd!!! LANDON My former student. My new roommate. My greatest weakness…. Autumn: It’s not that I’m hiding out in this hard luck little town. But I’m twenty-six years old, I’ve had one boyfriend and he ditched me for my sister. So I might be a little cynical. Then again, perhaps a high school math teacher shouldn’t expect romance. I’d be better off sticking to the good things in life, such as my job at Emblem High, my amazing circle of friends, and my vintage record collection. I shouldn’t waste time beating myself up over past choices or crying over the people who betrayed me. And I definitely shouldn’t obsess over the washboard abs belonging to the guy who just moved in down the hall. There’s no denying Landon Gentry is hot. He is also crude, sarcastic, messy and downright exasperating. And just to add one more complication, Landon also used to be my student. All in all, my new roommate is the last guy I should be thinking about. That doesn’t mean I’ll be able to resist him... Landon: The football scholarship was my ticket out of town and I never planned to come back. However, blowing out my knee in the last game of the season spelled the end of my college days. Still, I wouldn’t have returned if not for my little brother. He’s lost his way since I left. And I’m the only one who cares enough to help him find it again. Between working two jobs and trying to steer my brother back in line I’ve got enough to focus on. I don’t need to get distracted by a quirky schoolteacher with a great body. But Autumn’s not just some sexy girl who rents a house with me. She’s gorgeous and feisty and clueless about the fact that she’s been my fantasy for years. Seeing her right in front of me every day is just too tempting to pass up. Even if giving in might mean disaster for us both... l

I'm a huge fan of insta-love, grunge era flannel, my vintage Kenmore sewing machine, embroidered dishcloths and absolutely everything that has to do with 1980s pop culture (i.e. leg warmers, scrunchies, big hair, early Madonna, boom boxes, wood paneled walls, stonewash jeans, etc). If you believe in Happily Ever After and improbable love stories, chances are I'll love you too!! Email: corabrentwrites@yahoo.com
