New to Audio!
Back Where We Began is now live in audio!
Narrated by: CJ Bloom and Jeremy York
It’s hard to forget your past when you’re staring at it.
That’s the conclusion Emma Watkins arrives at when she returns to Hayden, Maine—population 2,253; now 2,254—for the first time in nine years.
When she sees him for the first time in nine years.
When that word leaves his mouth. Buttercup. A pretty nickname in an ugly tone. A term of endearment time twisted into an insult. A taunt that nothing has been forgiven—or forgotten.
She’s back to sever ties. Break promises. Keep secrets. All easier said than done. The memories she left behind aren’t all bad…more like mostly good.
Reminders of the happy times before the heartbreak don’t change the fact that this visit is a farewell tour, not a reunion. Caden Bennett is the guy she left behind. Being back where they began doesn’t change that.
But she never intended to fall for him the first time, either.

Cover Reveal!
Releasing: January 23, 2025
Cover Designer: Mary Scarlett LaBerge
Spending a week as a “fifth wheel” to two happy couples isn’t the best cure for heartbreak, but Eve Driscoll’s options for spring break are limited. Either join her best friend for a group getaway or slouch on the couch reliving the unexpected end of her three-year relationship.
Time away from campus might be exactly what Eve needs to refocus on her life-long dream that’s about to become a reality—moving to New York City to become an artist. She’s spent most of college playing it safe. Maybe she should take some risks before graduating. Starting with a road trip to California…
There couldn’t have been a better ending to Hunter Morgan’s hockey career than winning a national championship. But the high of hoisting a trophy is fading, forcing him to face difficult decisions about his post-graduation plans. Spring break will be a welcome distraction, although spending the week with his two best friends sounded a lot more appealing before they both got girlfriends. Then he finds out that Eve Driscoll is joining their trip too…
Timing wasn’t on Hunter’s side freshman year. He isn’t even sure if Eve remembers the night they met. And he’s certain, only two months from graduation, the timing is even worse now.
But he also knows he’ll regret never telling Eve how much he wishes that evening had ended differently. Especially once he discovers she hasn’t forgotten him.

False God is LIVE!
She’s America’s It girl. He’s Britain’s most eligible bachelor.
First impressions are supposed to last … but they’re losing track.
Summer in the Hamptons is predictable. Lavish parties. Polo matches. Private yachts.
So, the surprise arrival of Charlie Marlborough causes an excited stir throughout the higher echelons of society. The upper crust he’s come to impress. Wealthy elites he has to impress or risk losing everything.
Billionaire heiress Lili Kensington isn’t dazzled by Britain’s youngest duke. In fact, she’s not awed by him at all. She resolves to stay far away from New York’s newest deity, but that proves to be a harder task than she anticipated.
The only daughter and eldest child of American royalty, Lili is well acquainted with unwavering attention. She’s used to fake flattery and whispers about her family’s immense wealth. Accustomed to men trying to cajole their way into her bed and her bank account. Yet Charlie’s disregard for the obvious aspects of her identity only makes her more confused about his true character.
Each time their privileged worlds collide, Lili’s and Charlie’s perceptions of each other shift. They put on acts in public, but stop performing when they’re alone. Motivations become murky. Attraction develops into intimacy. Lust starts to look a lot like love.
She swore she’d never fall for a false god.
He never intended to fall at all.
Even patricians can’t lay perfect plans …

Come Break My Heart Again Cover Reveal!
Releasing: June 14, 2024
Cover Design: Books n Moods
An angsty, opposites attract, forced proximity standalone romance from bestselling author C.W. Farnsworth.
The first time Ryder James broke my heart, I was fifteen and sad.
The second time he broke my heart, I was eighteen and jaded.
Both times, I fell for him effortlessly. Falling is easy.
Our landings are just hard. Painful.
We were a sad song with a slow melody. Wildflowers with paper petals. Hidden letters with visible tears. A beautiful tragedy.
Except tragedies have endings. Our story just…stopped.
Seven years later, I still have more questions than answers. Questions I’m too proud to ask after almost a decade of silence. Answers he refuses to share, no matter how much time we’re forced to spend together.
Everything’s changed…except how I feel about him. And the recurring moments when I’m certain Ryder hasn’t forgotten our past either.
Can you forget your first?
Or are they destined to keep breaking your heart…over and over again?

All the Wrong Plays is LIVE!
I wrote FIRST FLIGHT, FINAL FALL because I loved reading sports romances and couldn’t find many with female athletes. I was never expecting FFFF would reach the audience it has and I certainly never dreamed I would be revisiting the Kluvberg world years later to write Sophia’s story as a full-time author.
Every book release is special, but this one is extra sentimental for me. A reminder to look back and appreciate how far you’ve come, not just focus on the journey ahead.
I hope you all love Will and Sophia’s story! Happy reading! ♥️⚽️

✨ reformed playboy
✨ friends to lovers

✨ happy ending

𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬.
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬…𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬.
Will Aster excels at two things: soccer and self-sabotage. Following a viral incident involving him and the club owner’s wife, his only option to continue playing is overseas on FC Kluvberg—a team known for not tolerating scandal. A last chance and a harsh wake-up call.
Sophia Beck has spent her life avoiding football. Growing up in the shadow of her family’s stratospheric success in the sport left scars. About to begin her final year of university, she’s eager to pursue a career in photography, not receive an internship assignment involving her brother’s team. The last thing she expects is to meet a guy—a player—who makes her want to watch a game.
He loves soccer.
She resents it.
Those contrary viewpoints collide when Will and Sophia discover something stronger than their conflicting emotions toward the sport—their feelings for each other.
But…one wrong play can cost the game.
And wrong plays are Will’s specialty.

Harlow Hayes has spent three years avoiding Conor Hart. The cocky captain of Holt University’s hockey team makes it easy—he ignores her right back.
Plenty of girls fall for the charming lines and that arrogant smirk.
Harlow knows better. Knows more.
Like the fuel for the fury that makes Conor such a dominant force on the ice. The history they share but didn’t write. The reason they don’t speak.
Until, one day, they do.

Kyle Spencer is the king of country music.
She’s the city girl, sent to talk him into returning to the stage…
Piper Egan landed her dream job straight out of college—working at Empire Records. But instead of discovering new talent and changing lives, like she’d hoped, her time is spent taking meeting notes and catering to spoiled celebrities. When the chance to change that finally appears, she should be thrilled.
Unfortunately, Piper’s promotion involves the charming cowboy she’s spent years attempting to avoid. And flying to middle of nowhere, Texas, in a desperate attempt to talk the king of country music into returning to the stage.
It’s a work trip with no boundaries. Piper is determined to head back to New York with a signed contract in hand, no matter what it takes. But that plan becomes complicated when she’s greeted by a scowl instead of Kyle’s trademark grin. Becomes challenging when she glimpses the genuine guy beneath the superstar. Becomes impossible when she learns the reason he walked away from the spotlight.
When she realizes…her only plan should have been to protect her heart.

Synopsis:
𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧…
Rylan Keller is dreading the start of spring semester. After choosing a college across the country and spending the past fall abroad, she’ll be a Holt University student. Worse than starting over at a new school? Starting over at a new school where your dad is the head coach of the men’s hockey team. And reluctantly agreeing to tutor a player, then coming face-to-face with the guy you thought you’d never see again.
Aidan Phillips has a reputation on campus. One he’s carefully curated to include limited reliability or responsibility. Outside of hockey, he spends his free time drinking, partying, and flirting. Often all three.
He’s a player off the ice as well as on it. Gorgeous, carefree, reckless. His one goal is to finally win Holt a championship, which he can only do if he keeps up his end of the tutoring arrangement. Hooking up with his tutor would be stupider than failing in the first place, even if the tutor in question wasn’t his coach’s daughter.
Rylan is determined to excel at Holt and make her fresh start a success. To finally have some fun, and not with a hockey player. Except, the more time they spend together, the easier it is for Rylan to look past Aidan’s facade. The harder it is to hold back.
But no matter how tempting giving in might be…the odds are stacked against them.
