A one-night stand with no promises and no inhibitions…
Our night together changed everything.
As a list maker and a rule follower, the last thing I planned, on one of the worst days of my life, was to fall into bed with a guy who literally charmed the clothes right off of me.
With him, I felt safe to lay my sadness down for the night and embrace a stranger.
Little did I know, that hot, gorgeous man would be Jamison Ledger, the one who has taken everything I’ve ever wanted—my legacy, my happiness, and what I’ve worked my whole life to attain.
While I am trying to sabotage his success, everyone in our small town is falling in love with the sexy, new lodge owner. And I am trying my hardest not to.
There’s a fine line between love and hate, and Jamison Ledger is blurring that line.
He might have given me a night I’ll never forget, but I can’t forgive the man who stole my entire future.

Unforgettable is book one in the Landmark Mountain Series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

Autumn Nights is LIVE!!!

He's a hot football star and a sexy-as-sin single dad. Zac Ledger is everything I never knew I wanted.
A prince on a white horse swooping in to save the day...
Isn't that every girl's dream? Maybe for some, but I've never expected to find my own happily ever after.
I've made one bad dating choice after another, and it doesn't help that my only example of marriage is my dad leaving my mother before I was even born.
I'll never be a believer in fairy tales.
So, imagine my surprise when I meet Zac Ledger at my sister's wedding.
He is the total opposite of my usual type: gorgeous, confident, and genuine.
He's also athletic, and I am so not.
They call him the GOAT in the NFL...and I didn't even know what either acronym meant until my sister told me.
But there's something about him.
One drink.
One dance.
And I'm ready to believe that there are actually good guys out there.
That is, until I overhear him on the phone and I realize he's just like every other jerk I've dated.
When he hires me as his interior designer to come work on his new house, I resist, but he's persistent.
My goal is to finish the job and keep him at a distance.
But I'm not prepared for the real Zac Ledger or the way he dotes on his adorable little girl.
And when the renovation dust begins to settle, I realize there is more to Zac than his NFL accolades, and maybe, just maybe, he will prove to be the one man in my life that chooses to stick around.

Mya...

I came to New York for a fresh start.

A new job. A new apartment. A new life.

The last thing I’m looking for is a man.

Been there.

Done that.

Jesse…

I flee for my life when I leave Chicago.

Escaping a lifetime of misery.

But from the moment my eyes land on Mya Whitfield—I’m done for.

And don’t even get me started on watching her play the cello.

I’ve never envied anything the way I envy that enormous piece of wood between her legs.

Move over, cello…

There’s a new man in town.

Summertime is LIVE!

Hi Friends!

I get giddy about summertime. I suppose it's from growing up in California and loving those sunny days and then moving to Minnesota where the winters are grueling and long...but summer feels extra special now! I started writing Summertime (and posting it on Kindle Vella, where it still is if you'd rather read it there, by the way) during the winter months when I needed to visualize those perfect carefree summer days to stay sane in the cold. And now here we are—I'm having my early morning coffee on the porch swing enjoying the sunshine, my son is out of school (yay!), and Summertime is LIVE! I've added a lot to the book since it was published on Vella and fallen even harder for these characters if that's possible. It was such a fun book to write. There's a lot of drama and emotion, loads of chemistry and some angst, and it FEELS like a beach read. So, grab a cold beverage, step outside or somewhere cozy, and meet the cast in Summertime. I hope you'll have a good time.

You can visit my Pinterest board HERE to see my inspiration for the book. Enjoy!

XO,

Willow

𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈’𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚…

At least that’s what I’d hoped for when I decided to visit Hollywood’s most sought-after director, AKA my usually absentee father, for the summer. But my vision of an idyllic break before starting grownup life after college comes to a halt when my dad puts me to work on his set.

As an aspiring screenwriter, I’m eager for any experience, but my time is spent as the errand girl, fulfilling every whim of Hollywood’s IT actor, the flirtatious, too-sexy-for-his-own-good Liam Taylor. As the shiny new girl, Liam thinks he has to have me, but his bad-boy persona turns me off, and I don’t want to be another notch on his bedpost.

Then there’s Hudson Callihan, the hot up-and-coming director working with my dad. He’s everything I think I want in a guy. What starts out as a friendship becomes a secret relationship, and I fall hard.

Things become complicated with Hudson when I’m thrown into a fake relationship with Liam to soften his scandalous reputation. And living on set with both guys and the crew is becoming more and more difficult.

I came to LA expecting to have a good time, but what I didn’t expect was to be faced with making the biggest decision of my life.

Summertime Excerpt

He takes a step toward me and my heart stutters in my chest. “Because there’s one thing about players you may not realize…”
“What?” I whisper.
“We know better than anyone when we fall.”
He allows his words to sink in, and I want to ask exactly what he means by that.
He leans in like he knows what I’m thinking and whispers in my ear, “And I haven’t even put my best efforts in yet.” He takes a step back and his eyes are light. It’s impossible to look away. “Now that you’re free, maybe I’ll start…when you’re ready, that is.”
“What makes you think I will be?”
He puts his fingers on the pulse of my neck. “The way this is quickening right here. And the way we keep being faced with adversity and riding it out…together. I'm willing to keep proving myself."
