Finding It All

About Finding It All

Pretending she’s better off with only her friends, a young reporter is taken by surprise when she meets a handsome high school principal while out on assignment. She has no idea this chance encounter could turn into her first true love, culminating in a life-altering, powerfully passionate and steamy love story… one that, until now has only existed in her dreams.

A traumatic childhood burdened with secrets and ridicule left Chloe Larson sheltering herself from risky situations involving men. Trusting only her best friends—Gaby and Jess—she lives life to the fullest, spending weekends having fun and her workdays proving her worth as a newly promoted reporter. She can’t admit—even to herself—that she secretly longs for just one special connection to make it all worth it.

When Chloe finds herself face to face with the gorgeous high school principal she is interviewing, she is suddenly thanking her boss for the assignment.

Chris Sherman is equally intrigued by the young, doe-eyed beauty peppering him with questions. He abruptly forgets his past dating frustrations and is determined to get know the woman now etched in his memory.

Will they both find the courage to be vulnerable and allow the joys and pains of love to fully consume them and find it all?

Learning to Love Again

About Learning to Love Again

Luke
My ex did a number on me. So much so that I left the country to teach abroad. But now I’m back. Back in this very same town where it all went down two years ago. Just as a favour to the man who saved me after my marriage ended. Just for a year. One school year. Then I’m gone again.

However, I’ve been back just 72 hours when I meet Ella. I say meet, what I mean is see her, then watch her for a little (not in a creepy, stalkerish way, I promise). She seems shy and sweet and there’s something behind those beautiful emerald eyes that makes me want to know her. Hell, I want to do a lot more than just know her.

She’s got more sass than I give her credit for and when she refuses to give me her name and I have to practically beg just to get her to agree that she’ll give it to me if we meet again, I pray her getting on a train is not the last image I’ll have.

I’ve never been too lucky, but when I bump into her at a bar that weekend, I’m thanking my lucky stars, lucky pants and anything else lucky I can think of. She’s still wary, even flees to the toilets, but I at least get a name, just one, just a first name, but it’s a start. However, with my interfering ex also making an appearance that night, Ella’s trust in me and any hope I might have had for us having a drink together are quickly dashed and again I’m left watching her leave.

The problem is, the next time we meet, she’s not who she said she was, and then there’s also the problem of her boyfriend!

Ella
I’m finally getting to start over. A new town, a new job and the support of my best friend. What more do I need? My dream of becoming a teacher has finally come true and I’m counting down the days until I get to step into that classroom and shape the minds of the future.

It’s not all rosy though, I’ve packed up my pain and tried to push it so far down that it will never see the light of day. Oh, and I haven’t seen my boyfriend for over a year as he took up a research position in Antarctica without so much as a conversation with me. But it’s all good, honest.

No-one knows me here, I get to be a new version of myself. If only it was that simple though. If only I hadn’t met him. The too good looking, the too perfect, the too charming Luke. Our first meeting is like the start of a romantic movie, the chance meeting, the handsome man and the plain looking girl. Our second meeting shows me who he really is and our third means I’m going to have to spend every day with him for at least a year.

But the more I get to know him, the harder it is to deny this thing between us. The only problem is, I can’t let him see the real me, I’m keeping her hidden and for good reason. He’ll run if I reveal my past. But somehow he sees me, knows there’s more to me than I show and seems determined to find the truth. I’m just scared that if he does, I might lose him. And even more scared that I’ve already lost my heart.

About Torn: A small town romance

Jenny is lost. She was sure that dedicating her life to being a war correspondent was enough.

That was until she watched her friend die in her arms. That day changed everything.

So what’s a girl to do? Run away, that’s what. Luckily, running is what Jenny does best. The small town of Portamaine, Texas is everything she thinks she needs to get her head sorted.

One awkward first encounter and several run-ins later, she’s doing her very best not to succumb to his southern charm, but her traitorous body has other ideas.

Jackson, a local construction worker gave up on love a long time ago. So when a brunette beauty launches herself at him and manages to get in a few punches, even he’s surprised by his reaction to her. There’s no doubt she’s trouble but he can’t seem to keep away.

Healing Hearts: A Second Chance at Love Small Town Romance

About Healing Hearts: A Second Chance at Love Small Town Romance

Two broken hearts.

A pain so strong it’s embedded in their bones.

And an unspoken attraction they can’t ignore.

♥ ♥ ♥

Two years ago, a tragic accident left Camille heartbroken, alone, and stuck with the one label she never wanted in life—Widow.

In need of a major life change, she leaves her Savannah, Georgia home for the Rocky Mountains in northern Montana. She needs more than a distraction to take her mind off all she’s lost. She needs a new life, a new home, and a new beginning.

A mountain chalet, with amazing views of the Rockies, is exactly what she needs to refocus her life and her writing career. Just like her life, the chalet needs a major renovation, but that’s fine by her. The hard work will do her good.

She carefully planned out every detail of her move—the location, the design for the renovation, incorporating her writing career into her new home, and connecting with the local community. But the one thing she didn’t plan for was Adam.

♥ ♥ ♥

When Adam decided to leave his promising Chicago career behind and move home to be closer to his family, he never expected to end up divorced in the process. His ex-wife said she supported his decision and wanted the same life he dreamed of having—a simple, small-town life with lots of kids.

But she lied.

Fifteen years later, and he still struggles to find success as an architect in the small mountain town he calls home. It’s been even harder to find a life partner to share that life with. But it’s a life he loves despite living it alone.

His career starts to look up when an old client from Chicago invites him to bid on a mountain resort concept at the same time someone hires him to renovate a historic chalet. With these two projects on his portfolio, his career success would be secured.

But when chemistry sparks between him and the beautiful, smart woman who bought the chalet, a lot more than his career starts to improve.

♥ ♥ ♥

In this heartfelt, second chance at love romance, Camille falls hard for Adam, the man she hired to renovate her new home. Can she allow her broken heart to heal and accept the love he willingly offers? Or will she close herself off and doom herself to a lifetime of loneliness and pain?

Until now.

Immortalized

About Immortalized

A steamy short read with Insta-love and a satisfying ending.

Staying behind in Seattle while my friends set off on great adventures around the world was not the way I had planned to spend the summer after graduation, but here I was. Alone in a crappy apartment, working at the same old job that I’d had every summer since high school. This was going to be the worst summer ever!

Immortalized is the first installment in the Seattle Sisterhood novella series.

Cade

Things with my little sister’s best friend are… complicated.

I messed up – badly – so she walked away from our relationship and moved to New York City.

The woman is mine.

Victory

He was supposed to give me forever, but he turned our relationship to ash.

Discovering Gold

About Discovering Gold

A woman scarred by injuries that will never heal … a man who’s not planning to have his heart broken twice … and an old mining town that brings them together.

When washed-up Australian tennis player Alex Mason unexpectedly inherits half of an old mining town in California, her dream of becoming a children’s tennis coach comes within reach. However, when she travels to California to visit the town, she begins to think there may be more to it than the dollar value of its real estate.

There are two types of people Travis Gold has learned to mistrust; athletes, like his cheating ex-wife, and Masons, the family who started a feud by taking his family’s saloon in a drunken poker game. Exhausted by his past, he’s ready to move on—until Alex Mason’s arrival in town opens every old wound.

Sparks fly when the descendants of the town’s founders meet, but at first it’s for all the wrong reasons. Can they both stop letting the past define them in time to discover the real gold in the old mining town?

Her Last Love by H.C. Bentley

About Her Last Love by H.C. Bentley

She left for the military thinking she would have it all. The career, the man she loved, a family of her own. Then her fiancé issued an ultimatum: come home and marry him, or lose him forever.
Eight years later, Lieutenant Lynn Johnston returns to her small Kentucky hometown with a secret to keep and a desire to find peace. Her planned lifelong career had been cut short by events beyond her control. Now, she hoped that she could forge a new path, one that would heal her heart and help to put her past behind her. Those hopes are dashed when she discovers Carter Mathis, her former fiancé, has also returned and is raising his two young sons.
Lynn must decide if she can deal with not only the old hurt feelings from the past — and Carter’s soon-to-be ex who has a vendetta against Lynn– to give Carter a second chance. A deadly collapse at the coal mines where Carter works, an accident that rocks the town, could possibly take the choice out of her hands. Does she confront her feelings and move forward, or leave the life she’s always wanted behind?

Ninja School Mum

About Ninja School Mum

‘There are lots of laugh out loud moments and I didn’t expect to be smiling the whole way through. The ending was totally unexpected.’ ★★★★★ Amazon review
‘I loved it and couldn’t get enough of it!!! This was my first book by this author, Lizzie Chantree but it won’t be my last! Brilliant writing….’ ★★★★★ Amazon review.

From the international bestselling author of The little ice cream shop by the sea, If you love me, I’m yours and Babe Driven.
Obsessive-compulsive school mum, Skye, is running from her past whilst trying to protect the future of her child. She tries hard to fit in with the other parents at her son’s new school, but the only person who accepts her unconventional way of life is new mother, Thea.

Thea is feeling harassed by her sister and bored with her life, but she suspects that there is something strange about the new school mum, Skye. Thea has secrets of her own and, although the two become unlikely friends, she hesitates to tell Skye about the father of her own child.

Zack’s new business is growing faster than he could have dreamed but, suddenly, he finds himself the owner of a crumbling estate on the edge of a pretty village, and a single parent to a very demanding child. Could he make a go of things and give his daughter the life she deserved?

When three lives collide, sparks fly and romance blossoms, but it appears that only one of them is who they seem to be, and you never know who the person next to you in the school playground really is.

‘As always the main characters fizz and entrance, with underdogs and divas, harassed hunks and devilishly attractive but flawed rogues… The espionage aspect helps the seemingly workaday schoolyard environment along famously with catty cliques and beastly little brats, as well as adorable, yet still edgy kids.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading one of Lizzie’s books yet – treat yourself! She gives Jilly Cooper a run for your money in the racey stakes, coupled with the knowing charm of Jane Austen, in hilarious settings with characters that show contemporary chick-lit romances can hold their own when it comes to ballsy, brash behaviour!’ ★★★★★ Amazon reviewer

Love Where You Work by Anna Pulley

About Love Where You Work by Anna Pulley

Warning: No mimes were injured in the making of this queer, workplace rom-com

For Clare Kolikov, her work is her life. A successful HR manager with a heart of gold and a prejudice against beach camping, the uptight Clare has no time for relationships or anything else that might distract her from climbing the career ladder at a San Francisco Bay Area matchmaking startup, W;nkdIn.

When she’s force-volunteered as an LGBTQ beta date tester at W;nkdIn, the buttoned-up Clare teeters on the edge of despair, especially when the “experiences” involve pole dancing meet-n-greets, plant healing workshops, and miming.

But Clare has her real work cut out for her when she meets Julia Dawes, the hot coworker who’s organizing her dates. Julia is a free-spirited, multiracial fashionista with “roller-blade confidence” and a Kristen Stewart haiku fan blog, whose attraction to Clare is as immediate and crippling as the debt she’s drowning in, thanks to the failed essential oils business her ex left her saddled with.

Workplace rules aim to keep Clare and Julia apart––especially after Clare becomes Julia’s boss––but their attraction only grows like an out-of-control Excel spreadsheet.

When an office rival threatens to expose their budding, secret relationship, Clare is left with an impossible choice: Give up her dream job or lose out on the girl of her dreams.

Mixing business with pleasure has never been more bold, steamy, or hilarious…

About Just a Single Dad

Olivia
Small towns? Everybody up in your business? Not my thing. Give me the mind-your-own-business big city. I’m just in Gardner for a couple days to catch my breath after losing the consulting job I loved, and the man I thought I loved.
Until I catch sight of a breathtakingly beautiful little girl, then her flannel-and-scruff single dad. With my ovaries crying louder than my common sense, I unpack my bags and settle in for a spell.
Tyler
In small towns like Gardner, some things are absolute. There’s no such thing as privacy. There will always be bad blood between certain families. And second chances don’t just drop into the local diner for a turkey sandwich. Do they?
Olivia has city and temporary written all over her, and my kneejerk reaction is to keep my sunshine-and-two-million-questions daughter from getting attached. But when I get into a bind, Olivia surprises me in ways I never expected. But when the past starts pushing and shoving, there may not be room in this small town for temporary to become permanent.
