Cover for Whisper of Love

As legal guardian of her nephews for a year and a half now, you'd think Allison would have this kid-raising thing figured out. Nope. She's yet to gain access to the secret internal lie detector other parents seem to have, and is still losing the battle against the mysterious teen boy odors marinating in their room. Did she mention they're twins? As in double the trouble (thank goodness for forgiving town sheriff). Really, she's just out of her depth here. To be fair though, this wasn't meant to be a solo mission. Nooo. She was supposed to have had a co-pilot to help out from day one. Kade McKnight, real life action hero hunk extraordinaire, would've been the perfect male authority figure for the boys...had he not vanished off the face of the planet. Well, it appears his holy-hotness has returneth. And now that Kade's on her doorstep here to stay, Ali isn't sure whether to hug him or slug him. She's leaning toward both... After a year and a half away from the beautiful honey-colored eyes he'd always loved having stare up at him, Kade finds himself smiling for the first time in months. Sweet Allison Walsh. Still a sight for sore eyes. Leaving town the way he did had been for the best then, truly. Having survived a childhood he wouldn't wish on his meanest MMA opponent, there's no way he could've been a good co-legal guardian. So, he'd set up financial support to help Ali the only way he could while he got his life in order. But, judging by her spitting mad glare, clearly, that had been far from enough. Guess his road to redemption is going to be a tough one. Good. He deserves it. And Ali deserves to be the one to dish out his penance. That said, the very last thing Kade expects now that he's back to help with the co-parenting load is for Ali to start dating again. As in other men--men that aren't him. Nope, not happening. Not on his watch... Stand-alone Whisper Lake romance, complete with HEA--and plenty of heat and heart along the way! Author's Note: Return to You was previously published as Whisper of Love

Cover for Whisper of Surrender

Lately, Jessa Myers has been batting a thousand in the dating game. No exaggeration, it's brutal out there. But, she's not giving up. Doesn't matter how much she loves Elvis Pawsley and Marilyn Purroe, Jessa's determined not to become the spinster town cat lady. Only one problem: No guy has yet to live up to her childhood crush/teenage infatuation/adult obsession, Ethan Steele. The big, bad, brooding U.S. Marshal is yes, ridiculously hot, but also way too overprotective. It's that way with everyone who knew her before her long-awaited heart transplant. They all get the same hyper-worried look when she so much as sneezes still. Sure, intense hulk-growl concern is swoony and all, but she wants a man to see her as more than that girl she once was. So, if that means she needs to settle for someone not nearly as knee-wobbling as Ethan, then that's just what she needs to do... Lately, Ethan's been at his wits' end. No exaggeration, loving Jessa for as long as he can remember hasn't been easy. But, she's worth it. Doesn't matter how much she insists that his mere existence in her past means zero possibility of a future for them, he's not giving up. Only one problem: Jessa's been dating loser after loser to try and find her Mr. Perfect to one day marry, probably have more cats with, and a long happy future. She just refuses to believe Ethan doesn't see her as the girl he once worried over. No, the only thing worrying him now is the stubborn beauty he's crazy in love with continuing to let her head overrule her heart and slipping out of his life for good. So yes, asking Jessa to be his temporary fake girlfriend to avoid the very real incessant matchmaking they both endure isn't the most brilliant plan ever, but if it means they'll get their chance at forever, then that's just what he needs to do... Stand-alone Whisper Lake romance, complete with HEA--and plenty of heat and heart along the way! Author's Note: Always Been You was previously published as Whisper of Surrender

Cover for Where You Go

Historical romance author Olive St. Claire’s life was turning out to be much stranger than fiction. She's headed to Whisper Lake to go to her wedding...plot twist: she's not going to be the bride walking down the aisle. The woman wearing white this weekend was her cousin Bridgette, who was the familial equivalent of a frenemy. After Liv’s fiancé broke off their engagement six months ago, she had to cancel her venue, caterer, DJ, and florist. Bridgette decided to take advantage of the fact that all of those vendors had a sudden opening and booked them all for herself. She’d even purchased Liv’s wedding dress off of eBay. Liv had planned to attend the nuptials on the solo tip but when the chance to bring an unexpected plus one presents itself, she figures, she might as well bring a date to her own wedding. Police officer Grady Caldwell had never lived in a small town . He’d heard his older brother, who had lived in Whisper Lake for nearly two decades, talk about the tight-knit lake community’s antics but had always assumed he’d exaggerated. After being a Whisper Lake resident for less than a month Grady now knew there was no exaggeration involved. Over the past two weeks, he’d become the target of the Needlepoint Mafia, a knitting club run by three matchmaking dons who had set their sights on setting him up. Their “meet-cutes” were starting to interfere with his job and sanity. When his brother’s soon-to-be ex-wife proposes a bait-n-switch dating situation that takes the heat off the mafioso cupids who are firing arrows at him on the daily, he decides it’s an offer he can’t refuse.
