Timber Wolf
2020
Wolf shifter and carpenter Jake Rowly left his home town of Virtue straight out of high school and never planned to return. But a broken heart sends him back into the fold, because if there's one thing Virtue doesn't have, it's any chance of romantic complications. Then he meets newcomer Mabs Brannigan, and realizes fate has brought him home again….
All single mother Mabs Brannigan wants is a safe, friendly place to raise her young son. When a distant relative leaves her a falling-down farmhouse in upstate New York, it seems like the chance of a lifetime to start over...until an unethical contractor runs off with her money and she's left with the devastating truth that she may have to sell the farm that she and her son have already come to love.
Jake needs a place to stay. Mabs needs a carpenter. It seems like a match made in Heaven, but Jake doesn't want to move too fast with a single mom trying to build a new life...and Mabs can't imagine a gorgeous, sexy guy like Jake would be interested in anything more than her amazing old house.
But when Mabs' past comes back to haunt her, and winter traps them together, Jake and Mabs find they're ready for whatever romance may bring...and that the house holds more secrets than they know!

Sealed With a Kiss
2021
Can he get her seal of approval?
Missy has 99 problems, and her funnel-cake booth at the Virtue town fair is 98 of them. Looks like this is another year she's going to spend with a spatula in hand, splattered in hot grease, watching other people have fun.
Her 99th problem is that the hot guy manning the dunk tank across from her booth just turned into a seal.
Maybe this fair won't be like all the others after all.
Ryan has just one problem, but it may have sealed his fate.
Overwhelmed at meeting his fated mate, Ryan instinctively dived into his tank and shifted into his seal. Now his seal thinks he's an idiot (valid), his mate found out about shifters in the worst possible way (oops) and while he's trying to figure out how to fix things, his perky cousin Becky has started matchmaking him and the brand new mate he's barely even talked to yet.
But he's got an entire fair to take advantage of, and maybe he can seal the deal with Missy if he can win her that big stuffed animal or take her on the Ferris wheel. If he can just get her away from the funnel cake booth and their meddling relatives for five minutes...
Sealed With A Kiss is a fun, fast-paced romantic comedy, the next best thing to spending the day at the fair! You'll be able to smell the popcorn and hear the carousel music in this light, sweet shifter romance with a guaranteed HEA.
