A Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Boy Obsessed, Found Family, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.
Ruby Rose declared me the enemy before I had a chance to defend myself.
I may be an attorney, but this girl had appointed herself judge and jury.
And I’d never minded a good verbal sparring.
There was a comfort in going to battle against the evil queen.
Maybe it was just the recognition of one damaged soul to another.
But the more we fought—the more I craved her.
Until our arguing turned into a bit of a wager.
One I was determined to win.
One time. Sixty seconds. A secret only we would share.
I’d work my magic and she’d declare me the winner.
I’d gloat, she’d sulk—that was my plan.
She was determined to prove me wrong.
But from the minute we crossed the line, there was no turning back.
She was so far under my skin I couldn’t think straight.
Feeling things that I’d never felt before was one thing.
But knowing the clock was ticking was another.
Ruby Rose may have given me more than sixty seconds, but she wasn’t offering forever.
And now my world doesn’t work without her in it.
But how do I convince her to stay, when she already has one foot out the door?

Loving Romeo is LIVE!
It’s Loving Romeo release day!! I can’t begin to tell you how special this book is to me. I’ve wanted to write a boxer for a long time. I dedicated Loving Romeo to my favorite fictional hero of all time, Rocky Balboa, for a multitude of reasons. Yes, Romeo Knight is a boxer and you get to experience the training and the fight with him, which I loved writing SO MUCH (I still cry every time I listen to the fight scene on audio, thank you Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor for bringing these two to life in the swooniest way)!
Rocky Balboa is the ultimate underdog, and I think in a way all of us relate to times in our lives when we’ve been knocked down and had to make a choice… do we stay down or do we get back up. Rocky Balboa and Romeo Knight will both ALWAYS get back up. They are obviously different in too many ways to count, but at the end of the day, they both fight hard and love fiercely.
Writing this book was about writing a character that I loved, and a story that consumed me for the longest time!! I hope you love this fighter the way that I do. I hope he and Demi capture your heart the way they captured mine! And the Ride or Die crew… well, I hope you fall hard and fast for them as well! And may we all have a little Beefcake in our lives who steals our hearts and never lets go! Happy reading!

��LOVING ROMEO IS LIVE
& FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED ��
Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.
I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.
She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.
We couldn’t be more different.
Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.
I despised her before I even knew her.
It was easier that way.
But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.
I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.
She was beautiful and honest and sweet.
Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.
Shouldn’t need.
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.
I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.
She was the right hook I never saw coming.
Hating her was supposed to be my end game.
Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.
But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.
Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.
And she was definitely worth the fight.

Loving Romeo Excerpt
I watched him sleep as he rolled toward me, his eyes blinking open as his hand found my hip and he pulled me closer. It was the first day in weeks that we’d been able to sleep in, which wasn’t even really sleeping in, because the sun hadn’t come up yet. But normally, he was up at 4:00 a.m. to get his run in early. Joey thought he needed the rest this morning and wanted him to take a day off from running, but he’d be in the gym later today.
“Hey, baby. Are you watching me sleep?”
I snuggled up against him. Cedar and sage were now my kryptonite. My fingers roamed his chest, and he groaned.
“Yes. You rarely sleep, so I was enjoying the view. Are you sore?”
“I think I’m in a constant state of discomfort, if I’m being honest.” He chuckled. “I’m always a little sore.”
“Well, those guys really pushed you hard last night, and you ran hard in the morning, too. Can you take a day off from work today?”
“Nope. I need to catch up on payroll and the books and get the schedule going for next week. We just keep growing, so I need to hire another trainer.”
My fingers were trailing along his shoulder and down his arm, and I pushed to sit up. “How about I give you a massage before we both have to get up?”
“How about I bury my face between your thighs and start my day with you on my lips?”
“Massage first. Pleasure second,” I teased, as my teeth sank into my bottom lip at the thought of it.
Romeo always knew how to please me. Even when he was exhausted. Even when I knew he should just get some sleep. He said that he slept best after hearing me cry out his name.
How could I argue with that?

After the Storm is LIVE!
It's release day! I cannot believe the final book in the Cottonwood Cove series is out in the world TODAY! So, maybe I put on my favorite frilly dress and took a release photo--I've never been good at goodbyes, and I'm emotional about this series coming to an end. It's always hard to leave a world that you've grown comfortable in, and the Reynold's family has made this year so incredibly special for me. I hope you enjoy this final book, and that you fall hard for Cage and Presley (and little Gracie) the way that I did. I'm a sucker for a second chance, especially when it comes to love! And these two... they deserve their HAPPILY EVER AFTER! I hope I did them justice! I hope you swoon and laugh and maybe shed a few tears as you feel all the things! I hope you enjoy the last book with this amazing family!
Lastly, I just want to thank you for going on this journey with me! Thank you for picking up my books when there are so many amazing books to choose from. I'm honored and humbled and forever grateful for each and every one of you for taking a chance on me!
My small town heart is overflowing!

After the Storm Excerpt
I sat down beside her, keeping a little distance between us, even though her citrus scent was already flooding my senses.
“What’s going on? You seem a little tense.” She raised a brow as she leaned back on her elbows.
“Your skirt just kind of pisses me off.”
There, I said it. I was an asshole, and I wouldn’t argue that.
“My skirt pisses you off?” She smirked. “The color or just the style in general?”
“The way it hugs your perfect ass.”
She nodded and picked at a piece of grass before turning to look at me. “Are you struggling, Cowboy? Thinking about the other night? Because I am.”
I looked out at the water. “Something like that. We probably fucked up doing that, huh?”
“I don’t think so. We know what this is. There are no expectations this time around. And we have a history. I can’t speak for you, but I needed to feel something. I’m not ashamed to admit that being with you, even if just for a few weeks, has given me a new perspective.”
“How so?” I asked, narrowing my gaze as I studied her.
“Well, I don’t feel this overwhelming sadness anymore when I think about you. Meeting your daughter has been really special to me. I adore her, and I’m grateful that I get to spend time with her. That I get to know the little girl you’re raising. I guess it’s shown me that I am capable of being happy again. I thought I lost the ability to feel that, you know?”
I let her words sink in. Hell, I was feeling things I hadn’t felt in a very long time. Things that I knew were dangerous to be feeling. That was what had me on edge. But I wasn’t going to say that to her.
“Gracie’s nagging the shit out of me about letting you teach her to ride.”
“Let me do this. I promise you I won’t let her do anything dangerous. She loves horses, and you know it’s my passion. Let me give this to her. And you’re coming by and checking on the horses a couple of days a week now. It’s the least I can do to thank you.”
“Fine. I can’t argue with that. She’ll be excited. Just take it easy, okay? Nothing too fast. She’s got big ideas, but she’s young and clueless about all that can happen with an animal that size.”
“I give you my word. I’ll take it slow, and we won’t do anything remotely reckless.”
“All right. How about tomorrow after school?” What the fuck was I doing? I was clearly finding a way to see her every day until she left.
“Sounds good. I’m looking forward to it.”
We sat in silence for a little bit, and I glanced over at her as she looked out at the water.
“I thought I lost the ability to feel, too. You aren’t alone in that. And you definitely showed me I was wrong,” I said, keeping my voice low.
She turned to look at me as her lips turned up in the corners. Her honey-brown eyes appeared lighter with the sun shining down on her.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“So that rule we have seems fucking stupid now, doesn’t it?”
“The one where we gave ourselves one night together and nothing more? Is that the one you’re referring to?” She moved closer and chuckled.
“Yeah. Who’s fucked-up idea was that?”
“I’m pretty sure it was yours.” She reached for my hand, turning it over and tracing the lines in my palm. I closed my eyes at how fucking good it felt when she touched me.
How good it felt when she was even in my vicinity.
“Well, I have a lot of idiotic ideas, don’t I?”

After the Storm Cover and Blurb Reveal!
Happy cover reveal reveal day to Cage and Presley! The final book in the Cottonwood Cove series has such a special place in my heart. After the Storm has quickly become my favorite book I've written to date and I cannot wait to share this one with you. I hope you love these covers as much as I do!

𝗛𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗱. 𝗦𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗱.
I’ve loved her from the first moment I saw her.
And I’ve loved her every day since.
Whether we’re together or we’re apart—that hasn’t changed.
Which is saying a lot considering I don’t like most people.
But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.
Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.
I’m a dad now, and my little girl is my world.
And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.
I don’t believe in fairytales or second chances.
My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.
Presley Duncan is a giant complication.
A wise man would keep his distance.
But I never claimed to be a wise man.
So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.
Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.
Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.
And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.
Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.
But I know this is temporary.
She’ll be leaving soon, and I’m prepared to let her go.
Until she’s gone.
And I realize that I’m not prepared at all for life after the storm.

But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.
Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.
I’m a dad now, and my little girl is my world.
And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.
I don’t believe in fairytales or second chances.
My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.
Presley Duncan is a giant complication.
A wise man would keep his distance.
But I never claimed to be a wise man.
So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.
Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.
Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.
And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.
Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.
But I know this is temporary.
She’ll be leaving soon, and I’m prepared to let her go.
Until she’s gone.
And I realize that I’m not prepared at all for life after the storm.
