Smoke on the Water

2024

He was my high school crush. Now he’s pretending to be my boyfriend—and I’m pretending I’m not falling for him. When Hoyt McNamara stepped in to rescue me from a drunk with grabby hands, pretending to be my boyfriend, I knew two things: One, I still hadn’t outgrown the way I felt about him. Two, it was a terrible idea to let him get involved. But Hoyt didn’t just step in—he stayed. He offered to keep up the ruse, to shield me from the island rumor mill and the threats creeping closer to my door. Then he became my landlord, and suddenly there was no escaping the man I’d spent half my life trying not to want. The fires started small. Easy to brush off as accidents. Until they weren’t accidents anymore. Until someone started pointing fingers at me. Until it was clear I was the real target. Hoyt says he’ll keep me safe. But the closer the danger gets, the harder it is to protect my heart from the one man who could burn it down for good.

Won't Back Down

2024

I drowned when I was sixteen. My brother's best friend brought me back, but nothing was the same. I can't remember what happened. My parents dragged me away from my island home in the name of keeping me safe, and thrust me into hell instead. I came back to Hatterwick to rebuild my life and—hopefully—my memory. Now a new inheritance threatens to expose those long buried secrets, and someone will stop at nothing to ensure I never remember what really happened that fateful night. The only thing standing between me and whoever wants to hurt me is a marriage of protection with the boy who saved me—now a man grown and determined to keep me safe at all costs. But what began as protection turns into more. Because he's the key to unlocking what hides in the shadows of my mind, which will either save or damn us both.

All Along the Watchtower

2025

For ten years, I've perfected the art of ignoring Ford Donoghue whenever he comes home on leave. You can't completely avoid anyone on Hatterwick Island, but I've made it work. Until his daughter shows up. She's thirteen, scared, and looking for the father she's never met. And suddenly I'm the one making the call I swore I'd never make, pulling Ford away from his Navy post and into my carefully constructed life. But something about her story doesn't add up, and when a body washes up on our quiet beach, the whole island starts to unravel. Now a teenage girl is counting on me, a murderer walks freely among us, and the only person I can trust is the former best friend who broke my heart a decade ago. And the people threatening everything I love? They're counting on the fact that Ford and I are too broken to work together. They don't know how wrong they are. In this small tourist town, old wounds run deep and deadly secrets hide in plain sight. And this time, running away isn't an option—for any of us.
