False Start Excerpt
Not that I can see him. He always sits at the very back of class, whereas I’m always in the front row. And even though his presence always practically suffocates me, today it’s even worse because Professor Sherman asked me to tutor Lee.
Still, this is Lee Burrows. The starting quarterback for the football team. The “it” man on campus.
He’s a legend around here.
Whether you’re a fan of college football like me, or only into the fact there’s no doubt he’ll be drafted, you love him. Girls all giggle and stalk him with their eyes when he walks past. Or they just strategically put themselves in his path for him to notice them.
I’d love to say I’m above it all, but the truth is, I admire him too. I just do it from afar.
And now I’m going to spend a few nights a week with him, alone. He better put forth the effort he needs to pass this class.

NOW LIVE!
My Brother’s Forbidden Friend is now LIVE!
I’ve gone from crushing on my brother’s best friend to wanting to crush him.
Cameron Baker and I have a few things in common. The first being that we were both born and raised in our small Alaskan town. Second, is that we hide our feelings and keep our hearts closed off from anyone who could break them.
But hiding my feelings is harder to do with Cam than most. When I was five years old, grieving the loss of my mother, he showed me how big his heart is, and I’ve never forgotten.
He comes from the richest family in town. Cam’s bad boy gorgeous, flirts like he has a Doctorate in charm, and he’s my brother’s best friend. That last part is where it gets tricky and the sole reason we’ve never crossed the line.
Now, his parents have cut him off to force him to prove himself. I never thought he’d open a competing business to mine. So, I do what I do best, shove all my feelings aside and ready myself to crush him. Game on.

Blurb:
Preparing a Christmas to remember is no small feat with a family the size of the Greenes. Especially, when the woman who has always been the planner down to every minute detail falls ill, only five days before the holiday.
The family has no choice but to scramble to ensure that nothing is amiss. Cookies need to be decorated, gingerbread houses assembled and decorations to be hung. They’ll need every hand on deck, young and old to pitch in and what would a Greene holiday be if not chaotic with a dash of drama.
𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲
Included in this box set is:
𝗦𝗲𝘅𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝘀 (𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 #𝟭)
He's the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom.
I'm the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire.
The owner of the company is clear—hook the biggest client in our firm's history and there's a partnership for him and a promotion for me. Stipulation—we do it together.
t doesn't take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed... late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension.
No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower. I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate.
But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don't stop peeling, I'm going to lose everything, including my dignity.
𝗗𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 (𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 #𝟮)
He's the arrogant Manhattan realtor with billboards advertising his six-pack more than his expertise in negotiations.
I'm the competing broker who stupidly moved across the hall from his office.
From day one, I've been his sworn enemy. Okay, so I might have accidentally stolen one of his clients. Well, is it stealing if the client comes to me?
Even our vicious banter and loathing gazes can't hide the chemistry between us. Who can blame me? He has enough charisma to make every hot-blooded woman in the city melt with a single word.
Just when I think a mutual respect could be born between us, the biggest developer in the city offers us an opportunity that pits us against each other.
Time to forget Carmelo Mancini's dreamy eyes and tight abs.
Game on.
𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗼𝗸-𝗨𝗽 (𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 #𝟯)
It was never my plan to wake up in a Vegas hotel room as Dominic Mancini's WIFE. The man has brought me nothing but heartache since I was sixteen.
At least we agree on one thing—a quickie annulment and we can both get on with our lives. I can go back to teaching little girls to dance and he can go back to making millions on Wall Street.
But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. It follows you right into an ambush by your Italian Mamas who deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.
So, we do what any good Italian kids would do. We secretly agree to pretend to give marriage a try.
But our easy solution morphs into a convoluted mess and leaves us wondering--is it safe to bet on each other?
𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸, 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿, 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 (𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 #𝟯.𝟱)
In this ensemble cast holiday novella the competition between the brothers is still at an all-time high. Join the Mancini's and their lady loves at the Santa Run in Central Park and attend a swanky fundraiser afterward.
𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻, 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀, 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀 & 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆, 𝗞𝗼𝗯𝗼!

COVER REVEAL!
We have revealed the cover for Single and Ready to Jingle!
Releasing: November 15, 2022
Cover Design: Hang Le Designs
The girl who loves Christmas falls for the Grinch—it’s a Christmas miracle.
What started as a dumpster fire of a blind date turns into a deal.
In truth, it probably didn’t help that I showed up dressed like an elf but that’s a story for another time. Our start was rocky at best which is why it’s so frustrating that I can’t stop thinking about his sexy British accent. Or the way his chest and arms fill out his suit. Or his perfect hair with that single streak of grey at the front.
Santa likes lists and so do I, so here’s all the reasons why Killian and I aren’t right for each other:
He’s my brother’s best friend
He’s the biggest grump I’ve ever met.
He hates Christmas.
That last one is big for a girl like me who thinks that the entire month of December should be a national holiday. So, when he calls for my help in planning his firm’s holiday party, I can’t pass up the opportunity to grow my small business. Bonus, we make a deal, and he agrees to attend three holiday events with me so I can make him fall in love with Christmas. As if I’d pass up an opportunity to make a Grinch’s heart grow three times its size.
It isn’t long until I discover Killian has a very real reason to hate Christmas and I start to see him in a different light. That’s when the Christmas miracle begins.

MY FAKE FIANCE IS LIVE!!!
I never felt truly desired by a man—until him.
My sisters are always the ones who catch a guy's eye at first sight. I'm used to attracting guys because I'm funny, or kind, or have a beautiful face. Never has my curvy figure drawn the attention of a man as hot as Noah.
But the second he stepped foot into my small town Alaskan inn, his gaze swept over me with desire, igniting a flame I thought was dead. He flirted with me, and I might've left two chocolates on his pillow at turndown, but that's where it stayed.
Over the years, he's floated in and out of town while a friendship developed between us. Which is probably for the best because I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman.
Which is funny because when he propositions me to be his fake fiancé in order to end a family feud, it turns out I am the kind of woman willing to pretend to be the one he's in love with.

Check out this excerpt:
“Did the bridge go out again?”
He shakes his head. “I came from the other way, but from what I heard on the scanner, the sheriff was going to go have a look at it.”
“Are you a police officer?” If he worked with my stepbrother Fisher, I would know about this man.
He laughs, and it echoes through the stillness of the room. Sobering, he responds. “No, but I have to know what’s going on in the area with what I do for a living, so I tend to listen just to make sure I’m not heading in a direction I shouldn’t.”
I type a few more fake keystrokes. “What is it you do?” I hold out my hand. “Do you want me to charge the credit card you have on file?”
“Please.” He nods. “I’m a photographer for National Geographic. Technically, I’m just a photographer. They contract me for anything up in Alaska. But I travel all over for my work.”
“That’s an exciting job. Other than those crab fishermen from the reality show, we don’t get people who travel outside of Alaska very often.” I slide his key over the counter, and he nods in thanks.
“It’s not all great. At first when I was younger it was, but it can be lonely too. This last trip, I spent a month in a tent just to get the one shot I wanted.”
“One shot?”
He shrugs his big shoulders. “See? Lonely.”
