It's TIME!
Okay, my lovely little reader bees! Unraveling Him is live and ready for you! It's time to find out what's on the counter... and that's only the beginning. This grouchy small town boy has a BIG story to tell.
Grab it on Amazon (or borrow FREE with Kindle Unlimited) here: Unraveling Him
This series is meant to be read in order, so if you haven't picked up the Bailey Brothers series yet, start with Protecting You:
Protecting You
She’s the sunshine to his storm cloud
Stoic, growly Evan Bailey has enough on his plate. A growing business, a pack of brothers who drive him crazy, a gossip-loving small town, and a rivalry that runs deeper than any family feud. Love? That’s a hard pass. He already learned the hard way that he’s better off alone.
Fiona Gallagher has a problem. Or more like ten, but who’s counting? The trouble with her car is just the cherry on top of the crap sundae, but she won’t let that get her down.
Besides, she has a plan. Evan Bailey—that brooding custom car builder who happens to hate her father—is going to help her. He just doesn’t know it yet.
The last thing Evan needs is the overly cheery Fiona crashing into his solitary life. But her offer is too compelling to ignore.
Fiona isn’t there to pick through the wreckage of Evan’s heart. If he has one, he won’t let her anywhere near it. But the tension between them is hot enough to combust. And when she starts to see the cracks in his stony façade, she realizes she’s getting more than she bargained for—a lot more—in that big surly man.
Author’s Note: A grouchy, broody loner meets an adorable badass (who talks to her houseplants). It’s the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one with some engine-revving twists. Have a fan ready—you’re in for a Kindle-melting ride.

Protecting You: Bailey Brothers Series Origin Story
Asher Bailey has loved his childhood best friend Grace since they were kids. He’s never made a move, and he has his reasons. But his feelings for Grace are too big to ignore. Loving her isn’t the real risk—losing her would be.
But what starts as a fairytale love story is unexpectedly interrupted, and neither of their lives will ever be the same.
Fighting for Us: Bailey Brothers Book Two
Asher and Grace were well on their way to a happily ever after when their love story was interrupted. Separated against their will by bars and barbed wire, they’ve both done what they had to do in order to survive.
But the Asher who returns to his small-town home—where everyone knows your business and elaborate pranks are a way of life—isn’t the same. He’s wounded and scarred in places his family can’t see.
And Grace soon realizes the end of his prison sentence is just the beginning.

The Bailey Brothers are coming!
The Bailey Brothers are coming, and today I'm SO excited to share the titles of the first two books with you!!
Protecting You, the Bailey Brothers series origin story, is coming May 21st. Then, Fighting For Us, the Bailey Brothers series book two, is coming just ONE WEEK later, on May 28th.
These two books together begin the series and tell Asher and Grace's full love story. And what a story it is.
Protecting You: Bailey Brothers Series Origin Story
Asher Bailey has loved his childhood best friend Grace since they were kids. He’s never made a move, and he has his reasons. But his feelings for Grace are too big to ignore. Loving her isn’t the real risk—losing her would be.
But what starts as a fairytale love story is unexpectedly interrupted, and neither of their lives will ever be the same.
Fighting For Us: Bailey Brothers Series Book Two
Asher and Grace were well on their way to a happily ever after when their love story was interrupted. Separated against their will by bars and barbed wire, they’ve both done what they had to do in order to survive.
But the Asher who returns to his small-town home—where everyone knows your business and elaborate pranks are a way of life—isn’t the same. He’s wounded and scarred in places his family can’t see.
And Grace soon realizes the end of his prison sentence is just the beginning.
This series is the biggest, craziest, most ambitious thing I've ever attempted in my career as a writer. Five hot AF and very untamed brothers. A generation-spanning town feud. A past full of secrets. There are heroes and villains, nosy neighbors, a gang of thieving squirrels, unexpected surprises, and tons of pranks and family shenanigans. And don't even get me started on the ROMANCE. I'm talking heartwarming, chest-clutching, swooning, heavy sighing, crazy hot, give you all the feels and make you want them SO BAD love stories.
Once again, May 21st and 28th. There will only be a very short preorder, but you can add the Bailey Brothers to your Goodreads TBR now:
I. Can't. Wait.
