Cover and Blurb reveal!
Whispers and Wildfire is coming April 10th, to Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, audio, and an indie-release paperback. An eBook preorder will be available at the end of March.
He’ll save her from the nightmare in her past.
Luke Haven has an adrenaline problem. As in, he can’t get enough.
His squeaky-clean, nice-guy reputation in his small town isn’t a lie. But it’s not the whole truth, either. Although his real problem? He’s not even sure what he’s searching for.
Melanie Andolini never thought she’d be starting over in her thirties. But moving back to her hometown is exactly the fresh start she needs.
Until she runs into Luke Haven, and things get complicated. Really complicated. Although it feels like a lifetime since they dated in high school, sparks fly as soon as they’re face to face—hot enough to light up the whole town.
Melanie blazes into Luke’s life like wildfire—messy and chaotic, beautiful and tempting. But they played with fire once and both got burned. They’re not going down that road again.
Except Melanie brought home a secret that still haunts her dreams. And when her nightmares turn all too real, Luke will risk everything to save her.
And make her his—this time, forever.
Author’s note: a not-your-usual second chance romance with a fiery heroine and a hero who won’t quench her flames—he’ll bask in her heat. Family shenanigans, witty banter, page-turning suspense, and a wild happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Obsession Falls is a USA Today Bestseller!!
This is a first for me and I'm absolutely blown away.
Thank you so much to all my readers for your support and for loving these flannel-wearing brothers as much as I do! I'm so grateful!
Thank you so much to all my readers for your support and for loving these flannel-wearing brothers as much as I do! I'm so grateful!
Meet the next Mrs. Haven...
Allow me to introduce you to Melanie Andolini.
Here's what we know about Melanie so far. She's a (in her words) sometimes-employed voice actor who's starting over in her hometown. If you've caught the hints, you might have guessed she's someone from our hero's past.
And she's about to blaze back into his life like, you guessed it, wildfire.
I can't wait for you to get to know Melanie! Her story is raw and real and you're going to absolutely love her.
Whispers and Wildfire is coming April 10th!
P.S. For all my book sleuths out there, we have not met Melanie before. But don't worry. She lights up the page, and our hero's life.

The Haven Bachelors
Let's review who among those big flannel-wearing brothers have not found the loves of their lives...
Three Haven brothers have found their true loves! Josiah and Audrey in Obsession Falls, Zachary and Marigold in Storms and Secrets, and Garrett and Harper in Temptation Trails.
That means only three brothers remain. Aunt Louise is in a tizzy trying to find matches for her single nephews.
Luke Haven: Auto mechanic and custom car garage owner. We've known Luke since his first appearance way back in Evan Bailey's book, Unraveling Him. Has he been unlucky in love? Will his luck ever change?
Reese Haven: We don't know much about the mysterious Reese, except he's been missing from Tilikum, and from the Haven family dynamic, for years. Is it time for him to come home?
Theo Haven: Former pro football player turned teacher and high school football coach. Theo seems solid, but are there hidden hurts lurking in his past?
Hmm, lots to consider. Which Haven brother will it be? Do you have a guess?
P.S. Yes, the book has wildfire in the title. No, none of the Haven brothers are firefighters.

Look how fun!
My publisher and I wanted to do something to make the bookstore release of Obsession Falls extra special. So we added a section at the end with a couple of my favorite scenes from the book, and they let me scribble all over them!
You'll get my thoughts and doodles, all in my own handwriting. It was so much fun to revisit Josiah and Audrey, and I hope you love the little peek behind the curtain the annotated chapters give you!
The annotated chapters are included in the new Obsession Falls paperback, coming to bookstores all over North America February 4th!
We've partnered with The Well-Read Moose to bring you a special preorder of the new edition of Obsession Falls. If you preorder, you'll get:
