Every Step Release Day!
I’m so psyched that Every Step is released into the wild today! It’s the last book (for the time being) in my contemporary romance series, Music, Love and Other Miseries, and may be read as a stand alone. I had so much fun writing the challenges Roman and Kat faced together to find love. There might be pie(s) and a polygraph test involved…some paintball and shameless dance moves that may or may not dazzle the intended victim. If you love banter, a bit of adventure in a small town, some feels and HEA, give Every Step a try!
An annoyingly irresistible cop and a dare that could ruin her life… Love is a complication Kat will avoid at any cost.
Sharp-shooting cop Katerina Hellman needs a fresh start. Leaving behind a failed marriage, she ditches the city and bunks with her sister in the tiny town of Graywood. When the local police chief offers her a position as the temporary firearms instructor, she jumps on it. So what if it’s a mostly boys’ club? She’s done with men, doesn’t need their unrealistic expectations and not even the tall, dark and annoying badge Roman can change that.
Roman Farkos lives for his job, to serve and protect…until Kat shows up with her snarls and superiority. He can’t resist pushing her buttons. She wants to be considered one of the boys, which would be fine if she didn’t stir a desire to do more than protect and serve her. Kat may be raw from her recent split, but Roman resolves to convince her that love—preferably with him—is worth the risk.
When Roman challenges Kat to a six-week contest of wits and skills, it’s game on. As they work and play side by side, her resistance fades and unexpected passion flares. But when big-city danger hits and secrets are revealed, Roman faces the greatest challenge of all—convincing Kat that real love is worth the fight.

It’s My (Book) Birthday!
I’m so psyched to share that Every Breath is out in the world today for all your grabby hands! It’s the second book in my steamy-sweet, small town series, Music, Love and Other Miseries and continues the spark that started between Gia and Ian in Every Kiss.
What reviewers are saying:
It [Every Breath] is another 5 stars from me for this one, it is a great series and I have given all three books in the series 5 stars – this is another book that I will be very highly recommending!
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down. You should definitely read this book. Can’t wait for the next book.
Ian is the perfect Prince Charming with the complex that he can never live up to that title where Gia is the perfect princess hiding behind a glitter girl persona who thinks with the death of Joey she will never have a chance at another happily ever after. I loved the character development and how it all played out in front of our eyes. C.J. Burright got it completely right with this series.
Available at the following retailers: Totally Bound Publishing * Amazon * Barnes and Noble * Kobo
Book two in the Music, Love and Other Miseries series
She wants the full fairy tale. He’s no prince offering a happily ever after. True love may have met its match this time.
True love… Happily ever after… The full meal-deal fairy tale… Glamour girl Gia Hellman almost had it all until death stole the love of her life. Two years and a string of dead-end hook-ups later, she’s through fooling around. Love will be hers again, but sexy, one-night-only lawyer Ian O’Connor doesn’t fit into the equation. No matter how charming or tempting, he’s neither knight nor prince, and she’s done kissing frogs.
Prestige… Power… A pristine reputation… Ian O’Connor allows nothing to derail his goal of becoming the next partner in the most distinguished firm in town, not even Gia, the curvy vixen in sparkles and pink stilettos who haunts his fantasies. With a past full of long-buried secrets, he never breaks his rule of only one night with any woman. But when the case to propel Ian to the top requires working with Gia, and a slip-up results in a fake engagement, keeping his distance may be the trial of his life.
As the passion between them builds and rules break one by one, Ian must decide between protecting a secret that could destroy him or risking it all for Gia’s dream of happily ever after. If only Ian believed in fairy-tale endings…

My Second Birthday of the Month – Every Minute!
This is a first for me, two books released in the same month, and lemme tell ya…it’s as exhausting as it is exciting! But I’m so psyched to introduce to you these characters and their rocky journey to happily ever after. I absolutely fell in love with them while in the process of writing their story and Garret still makes me swoon. I hope you love him as much as I do! And if you read Every Kiss and are itching for more Ian and Gia, you’ll be happy to know they’re also in Every Minute (and their ultimate HEA will be in Every Breath, out in February).
What reviewers are saying:
“Looks like another heartwarming love story against all odds from C.J. Burright and it is as sweet as it is sexy. Wonderful characters come alive as we feel their emotions and watch the power of love in action! Upbeat, sassy with a touch of humor and tons of heart!” ~ Tome Tender
ONE-CLICK FOR YOUR COPY TODAY!
Introverted teacher versus unstoppable violinist. She wants to be alone. He wants her heart. Let the games begin…
After the unexpected death of her musician brother, third-grade teacher Adara buries her grief, avoids all music and vows to exist without attachments. Social solitude works perfectly…until she’s forced to share her classroom with the new music mentor, a man who rattles her carefully constructed cage and sparks emotions she prefers to keep chained.
Always up for a challenge, violinist Garret is a master of patience and persistence, and the minute he meets Adara, he knows what he wants. Her sharp humor and haunted eyes inspire him in a way he’s never felt before. He makes it his mission to chip through her shields and breathe her back to life—no matter how hard she resists.
Even as Adara struggles to keep Garret at a distance with each clash of wills, each smile he coaxes, each kiss he steals, her resistance crumbles. But when the past catches up with them both, they will discover that some promises are meant to be broken…and others are worth risking everything for.
