Western

Sam Northwick’s dreams have always been simple. Keep his ranch going the same way his father had and his father before him. Be a part of the community he grew up in and take care of his neighbors, the same way they always take care of him. And, mostly, be the kind of man his parents would’ve been proud of if they’d lived long enough. Finding out his train wreck of a sister has two kids he’s never heard about isn’t much of a surprise, but finding out he has to take in and raise his niece and a nephew shakes his world to pieces. Almost as much as running into Billy Jones for the first time since high school. Billy would be lying if he said he hadn’t thought about Sam more than a few times over the years. Mostly in the shower. Seeing him again, watching him struggle through daily life as a caretaker to a pissed-off teenage hellraiser and a little boy who is exactly like Sam wakes up that little crush and gives it a life of its own, making Billy do everything he knows he shouldn’t. Including start up with a man so deep in the closet he can’t see the door. Is a little time, a little patience, and a little Texas heat enough to bring them together, or will it take more than either of them is willing to give?

Book 2 in The Darling Brothers series, coming April/May 2025.

The only thing worse than letting him in is the thought of letting him go. Jackson If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel. I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch. The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before. No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later… Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me. Sweet Like Whiskey is a grumpy/sunshine, small town romance between a stubborn cowboy and the optimistic out-of-towner who’s determined to win him over. There’s ranch life, close-knit family dynamics, gorgeous mountain views, moonlit shenanigans in a hayloft, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in The Darling Brothers series but can be read as a standalone.
