The Complete Series
Because of You
Jessie’s life is a mess. Her husband died, she’s been mugged, her house trashed, and she’s receiving frightening pranks calls. In an attempt to leave her the danger at home behind her, she takes a vacation and meets Caleb James, a dedicated ER doctor.
The attraction is instantaneous and hot, but Jessie’s heart was lost when her husband died and she’s not emotionally ready to commit to anyone new. When it becomes apparent her bad luck is connected to the death of her husband, Caleb decides—ready or not—Jessie needs his help. And his love.
Because You Love Me
Bridget’s life is shot to hell when she witnesses the murder of her best friend. Tired of living in fear, Bridget decides she’s safer off the grid, following Lyle’s clues to a flash drive that could put the killer behind bars.
It doesn’t take twins Mark and Matt long to figure out two things. Bridget’s not only in trouble, she is trouble—they both want her. When things get a little hot and heavy, they discover that they don’t mind sharing.
Between the James brothers’ hard bodies, Bridget finally feels safe—and loved. When a hit man tracks her down, the last thing she wants is for them to place those bodies between her and danger. But the cowboys have other ideas. Like keeping her alive long enough to convince her she belongs with them. Forever.

While Rodney longs for more from Jacob, how can he enter a relationship when his future is so uncertain? Cleared to return to work means returning home and leaving Jacob. Faced with two choices, Rodney must decide… love or leave.
Madison Girls
Kiss Me, Kate
Blindsided when her husband skips town with another woman, Kate is forced to move in with her sister. Desperate to get out of Jill’s apartment, Kate jumps at the chance to help Rick and Wes, DEA agents whose latest case finds them in urgent need of a house-sitter while they’re off on assignment.
As the months pass, a stronger Kate emerges. She develops an email friendship with Rick, and it isn’t long before they secretly begin starring in each other’s lust-filled fantasies. Problem is, after her failed marriage, Kate only wants a physical relationship. She’s terrified of losing her heart—which is exactly what Rick intends to capture upon his return.
They reach a compromise. One that involves explosive, no-strings sex–for now. Rick patiently deflects her fears and slakes her passion while keeping his darker, dominant needs in check, afraid of scaring his innocent lover. But unbeknownst to Rick, Kate has a few untapped fantasies of her own.
Three Reasons Why
Wes wants Jill in every possible way a man can want a woman. But she’s resisting. Hard. When he learns she needs a handyman for her diner, he decides fate is smiling upon him—until Jill offers three reasons why they can’t be together. Always up for a challenge, Wes decides to prove her ridiculous reasons unsound, one by one.
Jill knows her reasons are total bull, but she’s sticking by them, come hell or high water. Unfortunately, Wes is extremely persuasive. Especially in bed. If the sex gets any hotter they’ll likely burn down the town. Before long, Jill’s reasons begin falling away as fast as her clothing whenever Wes is around.
But Jill knows exactly what Wes wants for his future, and she’s just prolonging the inevitable heartbreak. The real reason she can’t give herself to Wes, can’t allow herself to love him, can only lead to pain—the kind from which neither may ever recover.
