11:11 Excerpt

“All right.” I open the sketchpad, leaning my back against the couch. “Just let me know if you need me to get naked so you get the proportions of everything correct.”
She stares at me a moment, processing what I said. “Reid!”
I laugh. “Sorry, I had to. But if you ever need a nude model for your personal art endeavors, I’m your guy.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Her eyes shift away from me, like she’s afraid if she looks at me I’ll find some sort of answer there.
I smirk. “You’ve already drawn me.” It’s a statement, not a question, because I know in my gut it’s true.
“I … no.”
But the way she says no sounds like a lie.
I snap my fingers. “You have. What did you draw?”
Curiosity is getting the best of me. I want to know what about me, my body, attracts her the most.
“Reid,” she pleads, closing her eyes.
“I want to know.” I’m begging now, but I don’t care. “Please.”
She inhales a deep breath, tapping her fingers on her jean-covered thighs. “Your forearms.” Her eyes drift to said forearms. “Your hands. Lips. The dimple in your cheek. Just … you.”
And I know she might not mean it this way, but on the inside, I rejoice because in my mind this tells me she likes all of me.

11:11 Cover Reveal

Look at this amazing cover!

Releasing: January 24, 2024

Cover Designer: Emily Wittig

After my divorce, I decide to move across the country away from family and friends for a new start.
What I don’t expect is him.
He’s only supposed to be a one-night stand, but fate has other plans.
The next time I see him it’s because I’m on a date with his dad.
I’ve always believed in wishing on elevens, but this time I get a little more than I bargained for by falling for a guy eleven years younger than me.
Reid is everything I shouldn’t want and everything I need.
The question is, am I willing to open my heart up to him? Or am I doomed to let my past hold me back?

The Endurance of Wildflowers is LIVE!

The Endurance of Wildflowers is now live!

When I met Thayer Holmes I had no idea how much he would single-handedly change my life.

Our journey hasn't been an easy one, but it has been ours.

We've fought through the impossible and come out stronger because of it.

But happily-ever-after isn't a destination, it's a never-ending road trip with bumps along the way.
Some bumps are bigger than others, but none of it matters as long as we have each other, right?

Pretty Little Mistake is LIVE!

Pretty Little Mistake is out now! I hope you guys love this childhood friends to enemies to lovers, accidental pregnancy, second chance romance!

eBook: https://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Little....
Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Little....
Audiobook: https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Pretty...

What happens when the one person you thought you’d never see again waltzes back into your life? One scandalizing night in an emotional novel by a USA Today bestselling author.
Lennon Wells and Beckham Sullivan should have been perfect for each other. Both vulnerable, both striving to please difficult families, and both broken by the past. Going from friends to lovers seemed inevitable. So did a bad ending. They thought—they hoped—they’d never see each other again.
Years later, bad luck or fate, Lennon and Beckham find themselves working for the same magazine. The wounds are still raw, but the chemistry is there. Then they’re forced to work together on a project. Some things never change, and all it takes is one impetuous night. One mistake. And Lennon discovers she’s pregnant.
With more in common than they ever had before, Lennon and Beckham are going to be in each other’s lives for a long time now, whether they like it or not. And they’re starting to. If only they can break from the generational traumas that hold tight and take a shot at something they never expected: a second chance.

Rising is LIVE!

Rising is LIVE!

I'm not the kind of guy that gets attached.
After my parents passed away, I learned nothing is forever.
Not the fame my band is gaining or the girl I might be falling for despite our "no-strings" relationship.
With so many changes in a short amount of time, I find myself spiraling further and further with no end in sight.
Except maybe rock bottom.
Then the unthinkable happens.
Kira gets pregnant and if I don't get my life together, I'm about to lose way more than I ever bargained for.

Wild is Live!

 

My newest release (a forbidden rockstar romance; she’s his producer’s daughter) is now live! Read it in Kindle Unlimited or order the paperback!

 

My band, The Wild, has finally had its big break. It’s what we’ve always wanted-what we have always dreamed of-and nothing will stand in the way of achieving success.

Except maybe me.

As soon as we sign with our new record label, our producer gives us one rule; stay away from his daughter.

I thought it would be easy to resist her, but Mia Hayes is under my skin. She is everything I never knew I wanted or needed.

But falling for Mia might cost us everything we’ve worked so hard for.

Do I sacrifice my band member’s dreams and chase her, or will Mia be the one thing that is more important than any stage I have ever dreamed of?

Book Deal Ahhh!

YOU GUYS. I cannot believe I’m making this post right now. AH. My “secret project” I’ve been working on is Pretty Little Mistake AND it’s been picked up by Montlake! *screaming, crying, throwing up* I have wanted to work with Montlake for literal yearsss and now I have the chance to with not one but at least two books! They’ve acquired the rights to this one and a forthcoming title as well! Ahhhh! I cannot put into words what exactly this means to me. When I think about the fact that only a few years ago I was struggling day to day with my kidney failure, dialysis, and eventual transplant all while feeling like I might never get back on track with my writing but then here we are today with a publishing deal. It’s insane and I owe it all to you guys. Seriously, I can’t thank you guys enough for loving my books, talking about them, and just being such a huge support system. This is as much my accomplishment as it is yours. Thank you for being a part of making my dreams come true. This one is for all of you.
