NEW RELEASE: Buckled in Barbwire

There’s a new grumpy cowboy strolling into town and he’s ready to head your way!

Buckled in Barbwire is LIVE.

Rules can’t be broken if they don’t exist…

Paisley
I’d considered myself carefree and content until I met my best friend’s older brother.

Brody Benson has a way of wrecking my composure with a single glare.
He’s broody and crass and far too attractive.
As if that isn’t enough, he earns more money in a month than I’ll likely make in my lifetime.

We couldn’t be more different. That’s why I settle for catching quick glances of him in passing. Meanwhile, he prefers to pretend I don’t exist.
But then the unthinkable happens.

Brody
The death of my mother rocks the foundation that our rustic empire is built on.
After the funeral, my sister flees to find comfort and peace. Dad shuts down, leaving me to keep the business running. That undertaking is made more challenging by Paisley Keaton.

Now I’m constantly crossing paths with the sunny cowgirl my sister left in charge of the barn. She tries to be helpful, which only agitates my animosity. I don’t miss an opportunity to tell her where to stick that overly positive attitude.

The fact that Paisley is the last woman I’d ever date promotes her to a permanent position at Benson Manor. One that needs to be filled to guarantee my ownership of the company.

Paisley will be my wife, but the only thing she’ll get from me is my last name.

NEW RELEASE: Headed for Home

Headed for Home is LIVE and available to read in Kindle Unlimited!

I’m willing to admit that I shouldn’t read spicy scenes in public.
But in my defense, the opportunity rarely rises elsewhere.
As a single mom and farm owner, my time is stretched thinner than horse hair.
Besides, I’d reached a pivotal peak in the story and couldn’t put it down.

That is until someone bumps into me.
My phone launches into the air like a base hit, but the device is caught before smashing into the ground.
It comes as no surprise considering the guy is a professional baseball star.

Drake Granger isn’t the boy I remember, but I could still pick him out of the roster while blindfolded.
This charming man doesn’t hesitate to tease me about what he spies on my screen.
He also doesn’t break stride before asking me out on a date.

But as previously mentioned, spare time isn’t a luxury I possess…

Drake claims that whatever I’m willing to give is plenty.
It doesn’t take long to prove that’s not the game he’s playing.
This pro is done striking out, and headed straight for home.

Headed for Home, The Latest...

EXCERPT REVEAL: Headed for Home

We are ONE WEEK away from the release of Headed for Home. Did you preorder your copy yet?

And I have an excerpt for you. This is from Cassidy’s point of view when she bumps into Drake for the first time in seventeen years…

Drake clears his throat to knock me from that lost cause. An awkward minute has undoubtedly ticked by while I shamefully ogled him. Based on the curve of his smirk, he doesn’t seem to mind the attention.

It’s only then I recall he had said something that resembled a question. Maybe. One fact sticks out in the lustful fog my brain has become. 

“You remember me?” 

The notion is more presumptuous than I’d ever give myself credit for. I haven’t seen Drake since we were teenagers. Not only that but he went on to become a famous athlete who’s undoubtedly met more people than I can count. 

His gaze heats on mine. “As if I’d ever forget my first kiss.”

I feel my eyes bulge. “We were just kids.”

“Doesn’t make it any less meaningful.” Drake’s blatant interest roves over me. “So?”

“Buttons,” I reply automatically.

“What?” His laugh is rich and bolder than the coffee aroma wafting around the cafe. 

My cheeks get warm while fellow Bean Me Up patrons send us curious glances. “It’s just this silly retort my grandma used to toss out whenever someone used ‘so’ as a full sentence.” I chew on my bottom lip at his look of confusion. “Because you sew buttons on stuff…”

“Ah.” He nods.

My face flames hotter. “Told you it was silly.”

“I like it.” Drake’s shrug is carefree. “But what I’d like more is to know if your last name is still Brooks.”

“Is that your not-so-subtle way of asking if I’m married?”

“Can you blame me? You look…” His throat works hard to finish the statement. “Better than faded memories.”

“Should I take that as a compliment?”

His eyes remain glued on my curvy waist. “Definitely. Why didn’t we ever date?”

I squint at him. “Probably because you transferred to Edina before ninth grade.”

“Great decision for baseball,” he muses. “Not so great for us.”

“As if you have any regrets.”

He’s quiet for a pregnant pause. “Would you believe me if I said I think about you often?”

Flutters erupt in my stomach, but I can’t allow myself to get swept away in a long-lost fantasy. “Probably not.”

“It’s true, Cassidy…”

“Brooks,” I relent. “Never been married.”

Drake’s stare hasn’t wavered. “Me either.” 

ONE WEEK TO WAIT! I can’t wait to hear what you think of my favorite couple!
