Before Layla Holden can start her freshman year at Coltin High, she receives an unexpected invitation to attend a private school she's never heard of. She doesn't hesitate to accept, eager to escape the close-minded small town where she's been taunted and teased for seeing otherworldly creatures. Anywhere has to be better than home. Yet she's only permitted to go if she brings her twin sister Sabine along for the ride. Inside the walls of the castle-like fortress on the isolated campus, the girls find many secrets and hidden mysteries. Layla's never shied from challenges and is determined to pass her first year. However, with more unusual and bigger monsters lurking at the school, she struggles to keep her ability a secret. On top of the pressure to succeed in the competitive school, she also attracts the attention of a new student, Flynn Madsen. He's not the only one who's curious about her, but he seems to have the same gift of sensing these supernatural beings. In a new school, it's impossible to know who to trust and what to believe. By keeping her own secrets closely guarded, Layla has to have faith in herself. Not her bookish roomie, not the cute new boy who seems too curious about her. Because sometimes holding your own secrets can overpower the need to unravel others--a fine balance of controlling your fears or letting them destroy you.

Year One

Secrecy

Jessie The last time I saw the man--jerk--of my dreams, he fired me. Now, he's back in town to renovate my bed and breakfast before the tourist season starts. I might have gotten over my grudge, but I sure haven't moved on since him. Harrison is the ideal hunk, or he was back when we were young and stupid. My contractor is still sexy, possibly sweet, and easily keeps up with my sarcasm...but he's a package deal this time. He's back with a daughter and a chip on his shoulder, neither of which should matter to me. But the more I see him on the job, each time we clash and fall into our thrilling push-and-pull, I have to wonder if there's something fresh to start with him before the summer kicks off. Harrison Of all people, it just had to be Jessie Green buying this old dump. Imagine my shock that the feisty, gorgeous, stubborn girl I fell in love with in high school is the owner of our town's former brothel. Her plans for a B&B are a nearly impossible race against time--doable, but it's quite the hustle. With the tables turned--her hiring me--it'd be easier if I didn't have to see her day in and day out, worrying if she can overlook our past, wondering if she tastes as good as she looks, wishing I could have a take two. Hell, even a take one.

Summer Loving Book One (a Standalone Romcom)

Season Starter

For hundreds of years, Contermerria has suffered under oppressive ice and snow. A spell cast by the Vintar Court renders the mainland frozen and dangerous, strife with monsters. In the remote foothills of the north, the village of Dran is attacked by lethal predators.

While her townsfolk hide within the caverns, safe from the rimy beasts lurking around their homes, Maren is trapped outside with a thief from the jail. All her life, she’s been taken for granted as the village’s underappreciated healer. For so long, she’s wished for nothing more than to leave, but with her sister infected by a horrid, mystical disease, travel is impossible.

Now locked out of the caverns for months, she is faced with the idea of freedom and considers her companion’s proposition. Kane may be a criminal, but his offer of an alliance is her ticket out of Dran: help him find an item he’s lost while he takes her to a rare plant—the only known remedy for her sister’s ailment.

Leaving her home is no easy feat. From the moment she strikes out, she must find her way through danger, lies, and riddles. She was sheltered in her village, but out in the open, she struggles with too many questions about the fae and encounters rivalry among the royals. Kane doesn’t abandon her, standing with her as they face perils and vindictive royals. But can she trust this man?

Can she believe him when he suggests the impossible—that she, a common healer from the mountains, might not only be fae herself, but the one who can save all of the mainland?

Love Me Always

Have you ever been so wasted you fell back in time? Crazy, right?But it happened to me, only it wasn't a bizarre side effect of a hangover. Nope. An arrogant time-traveling hero thought he was "rescuing" me by sending me back to 2020--the year no one wanted to revisit or experience for the first time. That was how I ended up in another decade, trapped with a smartass, looking for a source of antimatter a nut-head scientist discovered a century ago. The only way to get back to my time was to find some of those vials my relatives fought over before I was born. Locating them was one thing. Suffering this sexy, yet annoying man who'd sent me back through time...well, that was infinitely trickier.

You can’t always get what you want. Shy and sweet Lia Gardella has only wished to make her father proud. Dropping plates, spilling drinks, and missing orders, she’s never fit in at the family business. And after nearly incinerating the whole building, she ran from the stressful environment. Want not. As head chef of one of the city’s best eateries, Finn Newland seems to have it all. He enjoyed a youthful career in the MMA. Women worship him. After years of hard work, he finally has an opportunity to take over the restaurant he’s always considered his own. Be careful what you wish for. When Lia’s father summons her to supervise Gardella’s, instead of handing the reins to Finn, no one is happy. They don’t know how to collaborate on running the restaurant. Nor are they confident they can continue to deny their attraction to one another. But before they can attempt a partnership of any kind, they’ll need to find the culprit behind a trend of spiteful sabotage aimed at Gardella’s.

Appetite of Envy

Now that her powers are fully realized, Layla questions how she’ll truly fit in at the Academy—if she can at all. As a Pure elf, she wields a combination of abilities that attract too much trouble. Her peers envy her and her enemies challenge her, but with Flynn and their mentors at her side, she does the best she can to make this year a peaceful one. But it seems her junior year at Olde Earth isn’t going to be easy. Not with one professor hell-bent on manipulating her to do her dirty work. And with one of the council members determined to force her into cooperating with his mad-scientist experiments. Or the headmistress tricking her into believing those she calls friends are actually foes. Very few are empowered as Pure elves, and Layla struggles to own her strengths. Finding out about her mother and her family history presents a new headache of its own. Because before Layla can look forward to a balance of her responsibilities and her skills, she must have the courage to overcome the darkness of the past. Mastery is the third book of the Olde Earth series, and it continues in Victory.

She and Luke head to a safe house arranged for them by Zero, and it’s there that they find new sources of potential help. Hendrick’s journal might show a promise of where to locate the elusive scientist, but it more than digs up Cassidy’s past. Finally given a chance to recover from his injuries, Luke struggles to accept this temporary relaxed state. After all, how much longer can he and Cassidy deny their intense chemistry? Peace doesn’t last, though, as a newcomer trespasses on the property. Together, they head to Mexico in pursuit of the man who might have answers to Project Xol’s new agenda.
