Snapping Up Love

Will an event photographer keep his focus when the perfect model steps into his life? Chelsea: I’d admired his work, and thought of him as an imaginary mentor. Until he was standing in front of me.

Everything I hadn’t known I was looking for. But she seems completely zoomed in on work instead of our budding relationship. Maybe she’s shy, or inexperienced. I don’t want to just take her under my wing. I need her as the focal point of my life. \\\* An older man, younger woman standalone romance novella.

Inking Up Love

2020

Can a tattoo artist keep his hands steady when the girl of his dreams walks in the door? Grant: I hadn’t realized there had been a Leah-shaped hole in my life. I needed her before I knew her. I wanted her before I even tasted her. Magic eyes that twinkle with mischief. Soft, milky curves. And a mind as sharp as my needles. I just had to find a way to show her that I fit into her life, too. Leah: I’m not getting a tattoo. Yet I do need something new and different. Maybe like Grant. The sweet artist is gorgeous, and the thought of him doing what his hungry stare promises leaves me twitching. Sure, he’s covered in ink and his muscles ripple when he moves, but he’s as kind as he is tough. But I’m dreaming. There’s no way a girl like me could hold his interest. Is there? Call me crazy, but I think he’s looking at me like he’s already in love. \\\* An older man, younger woman standalone romance novella.

Snipping Up Love

2020

When a billionaire visits a new hair stylist, ‘a little off the top’ becomes ‘over the top’ in an instant romance. Katy: It’s lonely being a quiet, broke girl in a new city.

Should I trust someone who seems too good to be true? Dan: I hadn’t realized how desperately my life needed a touch of sweetness. Katy was creative, driven, and brilliant with a pair of scissors. I couldn’t scare her off by revealing who I was right away. I wanted her to get to know the real me first. It turns out that even billionaire CEOs make stupid mistakes. \\\* An older man, younger woman romance novella.
