He’ll break all her rules
Nora Lakes is sophisticated, successful, and happily single. Career problems aside, her life is fine the way it is, thank you very much. Sure, her best friends are all moving into a new season of life—full of husbands and babies and white picket fences. But that’s not what Nora wants.
Neither is the gruff, tattooed guy next door.
Tattoo artist Dex St. James has enough trouble on his hands without the distractingly beautiful woman next door. Being a single dad to a teenage girl is no joke. The last thing he needs is a flirtatious new neighbor who makes his blood run hot.
He’ll just avoid her. She’s not his type anyway.
But Nora and Dex can’t seem to stay out of each other’s way. Between a pesky nocturnal visitor, Nora’s blossoming friendship with Dex’s daughter, and their undeniable chemistry, that up-against-the-wall, brain-melting kiss was probably inevitable.
Nora has rules when it comes to men, and she has her reasons. Dex threatens to break every last one of them. She doesn’t want forever. He won’t settle for anything less. But when these two collide, the result is fire.
And maybe even forever.
Author’s Note: opposites attract in this fun, swoony, single dad romcom. A smart, sassy woman meets a rough-around-the-edges tattoo artist with a heart of gold. Daddy/daughter moments, all the banter, neighborly shenanigans, a meddling family, badass lady friendships, and a hero who’s determined to fight the heat between them—until he falls first.
Flirting with Forever can be read as a stand-alone.

How the Grump Saved Christmas
It's time!! How the Grump Saved Christmas is available now!!
This holiday romance was such a joy to write. I'm basically addicted to grumpy heroes who clash with sunshiney heroines and this is all that and more! There's a quirky small town, a guard donkey named Horace, a Christmas-hating grump, and a farm girl who won't give up her family farm without a fight. Especially to the Grinchiest, Scroogiest guy she knows.
I took some inspiration from the holiday classic A Christmas Carol, and although there aren't any ghosts, there are some pesky squirrels. It's the romance novel equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket in front of a crackling fire with your favorite warm beverage while Christmas lights twinkle and your heart is filled with contentment and joy.
Pick your holiday pleasure - ebook, Kindle Unlimited, paperback, or audiobook!

A note about reading order: How the Grump Saved Christmas is a stand-alone holiday romance. It takes place in Tilikum, home of the Bailey Brothers, and the timeline overlaps with Rewriting the Stars, Bailey Brothers book 6. You can read Grump before the Bailey Brothers (you won't be lost, promise) or after, either way works!

A note about reading order: How the Grump Saved Christmas is a stand-alone romance, so you can read it on its own. It is set in Tilikum, home of the Bailey Brothers, and takes place during the same timeline as Rewriting the Stars. In fact, you get some sneak peeks into Elias and Isabelle's story in Rewriting the Stars! But like I said, it's written as a stand-alone, so you don't have to read the Bailey Brothers first. But you sure can if you want to! (And, hint hint, the Baileys are on sale, so...)

Dating can be tricky, but how hard can it be to find the right guy? Or even just a normal guy?
For Everly Dalton, it’s a bit like trying to walk in stilettos—while drunk, blindfolded, and wearing the wrong size shoes. She hasn’t exactly been lucky in love. In fact, she just might be cursed.
A guy who only dates lookalikes of his ex? Pass. An alpha-male businessman who bolts in a moment of crisis? No thanks. A date that turns into the creepiest interview in the history of ever? Where does she find these guys?
Join Everly as she dishes to her friends about the surprising, unpredictable, and sometimes crazy adventure that is modern dating. Will she keep matching with frogs or find her Prince Charming?
Author's note: This series of six bite-sized stories takes place before the full-length, stand-alone romcom, Faking Ms. Right.

The Book Boyfriends series are three interconnected stand-alone romances. They're fun, steamy, and full of CK awesomeness.
Book Boyfriend: Secret romance author, Alex, and adorably awkward book blogger, Mia, have a great online friendship--without knowing each other's real identities. But when they meet in person (in a bookstore, and he buys her books y'all), the sparks are scorching hot and a case of mistaken identity quickly spirals out of control. Bonus: Mia has an asshole cat named Fabio.
Cocky Roommate: Kendra rents her room to her brother's colleague but gets much more than she bargained for in Weston Reid. He's a straight up A-S-S-H-O-L-E. Or is he? The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and Weston falls HARD. Bonus: he likes to walk around in his underwear.
Hot Single Dad: Trauma surgeon Caleb needs a nanny for his young daughter, Charlotte, aka "Bug." But Linnea? She's a terrible idea. Why? Three reasons. One, he's insanely attracted to her from the minute he sees her. Two, she's way too young for him. And three, she's his sister-in-law. Yeah, this just got complicated. Bonus: text fails and boob jokes.
Grab these three hot romcoms for just $0.99 each! http://readerlinks.com/l/2251049

Levi!
It's TIME!
http://readerlinks.com/l/2251181
The epic conclusion to the Bailey Brothers series, Rewriting the Stars, is available!
Firefighter Levi Bailey is used to being alone. Not that he’s lonely. How could he be, with a band of unruly brothers, and their wives and growing families. Maybe he’s the odd man out. The one brother who isn’t destined to be with his soulmate.
Besides, he has her.
She’s his Juliet, the only woman in the world he can’t ever have. To an outsider, it probably seems crazy. But the Tilikum town feud is no joke—especially now—and Annika Haven is strictly forbidden.
Annika Haven never expected to be back in her hometown, let alone as a single mom with two jobs. Add in a pack of overprotective brothers, a brewing family crisis, and a gossipy, feuding town on the brink of chaos, and life gets complicated.
But at least she has him.
He’s her Romeo, a son of the enemy. He makes her smile on her worst days. Yet, despite his brooding sex appeal, the one thing she cannot do is fall for Levi Bailey. They’re just friends and that’s the way it has to stay.
But after months of secret texts and stolen glances, one soul-stealing kiss changes everything. And Levi Bailey is about to do the impossible.
Defy the feud.
Author’s note: an intense hero who relentlessly pursues what he wants and a single mom with a tender heart. Small-town shenanigans, a hundred-year-old mystery, a riot of crazy brothers, enough heat to melt your Kindle (and your ovaries), and the biggest, heart-burstingest, happily ever after you’ve been waiting for.
Rewriting the Stars is available on Amazon (in both paperback and ebook) and is in Kindle Unlimited. The audiobook is coming later this spring and stay tuned for a huge announcement about audio. You're going to LOVE it.
Happy binge reading!
