BLURB
This grumpy, wounded introvert with a bad attitude is definitely not falling miserably in love with his sunshine neighbor.
“Maybe a change of scenery will be good for you, Dutch.”
That's what my editor told me. As if transplanting from San Francisco to Haven—aka nowhere—New York would change my situation.
I still couldn't write and I couldn't tell anyone why. Not my publisher, not my family, not even my editor.
It was my dark, cataclysmic secret.
Telling the truth could end my career, but saying nothing eroded my trust and ability to put words on the page.
My last chance to save my career was this lakeside cottage and a six month deadline.
What I didn't count on was her. Phoebe Valentine. My sole neighbor who would not be ignored. No matter how much I tried to push her away, she kept showing up. She was sunshine and color, chaos and laughter, warmth and healing. She was everything I didn't deserve.
But I was starved for it. Starved for her. In ways I've never known.
And this place by the lake with its own mysteries became more than solace. Even the town sparked something inside of me I thought I'd lost forever.
Haven.
n. a place of safety or refuge.
What if my haven was actually Phoebe? And loving her was what unlocked the door to the light and the words I missed more than breath.
And being loved by her gave me the strength to tell the truth. Come what may.
This grumpy, wounded author with a bad attitude is irrevocably in love with his sunshine neighbor. And he's never letting her go.

When she’s the only promise that matters…
PARKER
My life has always revolved around two absolutes: serving as a Navy SEAL and loving Fallon.
When a promise I couldn’t break forces me to keep her at arm’s length, I bury my heart in the Teams and swear off relationships. Until tragedy rips me from the battlefield and leaves me raising a little boy alone.

But when trouble follows me home to the ranch, Parker is the one who shows up, strong and steady, with a child in his arms and a vow in his eyes.

Blurb:
Falling for a man who’s forcing me to marry him makes me sound weak. And in our world, the last thing a woman wants is to feel weak.
Brielle
Kane Morgan was never supposed to be anything more than one reckless night.
Turns out, he’s the enemy, and he knew exactly who I was when he was making me forget my name—while screaming his.
Now, Kane wants more than just revenge on my family. He wants me as his wife.
After a lifetime of heartache, all I want is to marry for love.
But Kane’s ripping that dream away, forcing me into a marriage of revenge.
He’s cold, ruthless, and calculating, and yet he’s everything I can’t seem to resist.
Because when we’re alone, he shows me a different side of him.
I hate that he comforts me when my past creeps into my nightmares. That he believes in my dreams. And most of all, that every stolen moment with him feels like it could put my broken pieces back together.
I shouldn’t be falling for my new husband. He gives me everything I’ve ever wanted … except the one thing I long for—his heart.

Renovating a house is hard. Renovating a house while accidentally triggering a demonic corporate takeover? That’s just a Tuesday on the island. 🏝️👹
Trapped on Limbo Lane by @author_brendatrim is now live!
So here's the thing about becoming the "Island Fixer"—it sounded like a great idea at the time. Repair some broken pipes, banish a few demons, and make enough money to keep my house from falling apart. Simple, right?
Wrong.
Turns out, when you advertise that you can handle both home renovations and supernatural problems, the universe takes it as a personal challenge. One minute I'm trying to remove a stubborn backsplash from a sweet old lady's kitchen (YouTube made it look easy, liars), and the next I'm accidentally releasing a demon that's been trapped since the 1950s. And that demon, by the way, is really good at paperwork and has some disturbing plans involving Hell's corporate takeover of Earth.
Yeah, you read that right. Hell has middle management now, and they're looking to expand.
Now I'm stuck trying to save my island home from becoming the underworld's newest franchise location, all while pretending I know the difference between drywall and dimensional barriers. My boyfriend Zane is annoyingly competent with tools and looks way too hot while using them. My mom and grandmother are ready to throw down with demons. And my best friend Astra keeps calling to check if I've demolished anyone else's kitchen yet.
The answer is: it's complicated.
Because when you accidentally open a portal to Hell during a simple tile removal job, "complicated" doesn't even begin to cover it. And neither does insurance.

HAPPY BOOK WEEK
All An Act by Leslie McAdam is #nowavailable!
Read With Kindle Unlimited
Lachlan Doyle’s biggest problem seems to be which girl to invite to prom. Everyone thinks the golden boy of Royce High, captain of the football team and senior class president, has a charmed life.
Everyone except me.
To me, he’s the sad-eyed boy next door. All my life, I’ve overheard what goes on at his house and wished I could save him from it. I know that underneath Lachlan’s smiling, flirty exterior is a very broken human being.
One who has to fake interest in cheerleaders and so desperately wants to escape his horrible home life that he auditions for the school play just to be out of the house in the offseason. He’d rather spend hours rehearsing with the weird drama kids than deal with his family.
Except Lachlan didn’t know when he accepted the lead role that he’d have to kiss a guy—me—in front of the entire audience. And he didn’t know that I’ve had a crush on him forever. Although he might be suspicious, given what we get up to when no one else is around.
Regardless, there’s no chance we’d ever be together for real. The only time the popular jock and the emo goth make sense as a couple is when we’re both acting like someone else.
All an Act is a steamy gay romance about two high school seniors. All spicy scenes feature characters who are 18+ years old. This is a stand-alone MM romance about the one person who sees who you really are. Expect confessions in the dark, fake kisses that turn into more, and raw courage. HEA.
