Your Honor
May 13, 2018
$2.99
There are no accidents. People cross paths for a reason.
I’m not sure why ours crossed but within a second, I realized, she could destroy everything.
There’s a code of ethics in some professions where certain relationships are frowned upon.
She’s the prosecutor. I’m the judge. Sleeping with her is all sorts of hell no!
Ethic review boards could remove me from the bench—as in “You’re fired.”
Even worse, my father would kill me if his name were tainted. But it would kill me more not to have her.
They say rules are meant to be broken. But is she worth the risk?
The only thing I was sure of—I wanted to completely overrule her perfect little world.

Old Enough to Love... (Just One of the Guys Book 1)
Mar 14, 2013
$2.99
Emma Hendricks……..Zach Owens
She’s 15…….He’s 18
She’s experienced nothing… He’s experienced the world…
What happens when their worlds collide? Never allowed to date, will the relationship survive Emma’s overly-protective, older brother and his friends? And what happens when his past is revealed and she discovers he’s on probation. Even if she accepts it, she must lie to her parents and those around her. She’s always been… Just one of the boys… and now a man sees her as so much more… Can she convince him that she is old enough to love?
Old Enough to Love is the story of Emma Hendricks, or Runt as she’s known to her older brother and his friends. Emma—born prematurely has always been physically smaller than other girls. Protected by a posse of guys, led by her brother, she’s pretty much off limits as dating material for anyone in their small high school—until Zach Owens, a senior from San Francisco moves to the small town of Ashland, Oregon and is oblivious to the unspoken rule.
Emma, an inexperienced fifteen-year-old, is smitten with Zach and the undeniable attraction brewing between them. She attempts to compete with the older girls to maintain Zach’s affections and believes she is ready to take the relationship to the next level. Though she is eager to easily bid her virginity farewell; she misunderstands his hesitations. Zach is on twelve months supervised probation and caught a lucky break the first time around. He adamantly refuses to participate in any activity that would lead to juvenile detention, and he is frightened he’ll lose Emma if specific information about his past is revealed.
Zach and Emma uncover blooming passionate emotions while discovering first time love, all the while reining in nearly uncontrollable desires. Meanwhile, their biggest obstacles are the battle with her brother, her brother’s buddies and Zach’s elusive past.

People float in and out of our lives and sometimes, when you least expect it one person changes everything.
Tessa Ashby was abandoned in an East Coast boarding school, merely existing, never truly feeling loved. Before fulfilling obligations her father has sentenced her to, she escapes and breathes eight weeks of freedom in southern California.
Bodhi loves: his music, his body and his buddies...the order is debatable depending on the day. His past taught him to be selective with the people he trusts. Bodhi doesn’t date, and he was lucky if he remembered a woman's name. He was alone in a world of people. All that changed when an innocent, brown-eyed, smart mouthed beauty showed up on his doorstep.
Are they the answer to each other’s prayers or will manipulation and deception destroy them?

What happens when…
after leaving the place you called home,
to forget the girl you loved,
knowing she chose someone else,
you must now return for a wedding you can’t bear to watch.
So, you pay a beautiful girl…
to trek across the country with you,
pretending the two of you have plans for a new future,
faking a relationship in front of your old crew,
unprepared for when she slams those rounded, green eyes into you.
Suddenly, you realize…
you are actually over the bride and ready to move on,
quite sure the feelings you’ve been pretending to have,
aren’t so fake after all,
yet, she needs the money, so you continue to play along.
Trying your damnedest not to fall…
to remember she’s an ‘employee’ you paid to come along,
and keep a promise of no romantic entanglements,
until that one moment, when you know,
you have finally found your forever.
Except for the secrets that threaten it all…
an uninvited guest from her past shows up at the wedding,
threatening to crumble your dreams,
and even if she still picks you,
your dark secrets might just end everything.

What could possibly go wrong?
Mela McKinley fled with her infant son and disappeared four years ago trying to heal the awful scars inside and out. Taking refuge in the mountains of Colorado, not one person had come near their secluded doorstep… though she was prepared for a fight.

Nothing in life has ever come easy for the boy from the other side of the tracks.
A mother that left. A father that hit. A brother that protected.
They say everything happens for a reason.
Joss Hess has spent his entire life looking for that reason.
After nearly killing a man and barely avoiding prison, Joss finds himself sentenced to 18 months on Briscoe Ranch, where certain things are expected.

One road block stands between Joss and his freedom:
Ren Briscoe
Raised by ranchers, Ren Briscoe has been around men her entire life.
Home on summer vacation, she quickly realizes that Joss Hess is unlike any man she has ever encountered before.
She hates everything about him…his filthy mouth, arrogant attitude, the way he makes fun of her purity ring and her boyfriend. Mostly, she hates him because no matter how hard she fights it. Joss occupies her every thought. He may be the convict serving his sentence; but the real prisoner is Ren.

A Haunted Heart
Oct 1, 2014
$1.69
No one chooses tragedy—it’s thrown at you at the most unexpected time. Life…love…ripped away in a single instant as if it never existed.
That happened to me one Halloween night—my life shattered and I was nothing but an abandoned empty vessel—floating through the days and nights with hopes of feeling someday.
A year later, Adam Stroud walked down the sidewalk and in that single instant life changed again. He too had been dealt a horrible hand of fate and for the first time in a year, I saw a glimpse of life.
For almost two months, I allowed myself to live. Learning to love and bloom. Little did I know I’d be betrayed and lied to by the few I trusted most. And now, lying cold and naked in the dirt hole, I promised myself if given the opportunity again…I’d live.
